A traditional cache, set in an old mining area.
Bakestonedale Moor above Pott Shrigley has seen an extensive coal
mining industry over the past 2-300 years. The last coal and
fireclay extraction took place in the mid 1960's before the Peak
Park planners put a stop to it. The nineteenth century workings
left a number of deep shafts which remained open until the 1970's
when they were capped by the then National Coal Board leaving
distinctive concrete obelisks on the shaft top. Car parking is best
at N 53 18.778 W 002 04.119, off Bakestonedale Road, Pott Shrigley.
Obviously you could tie this in with the caches found at Lyme Park
if you fancy a longer walk....
