Geocache Description:

Traditional cache in one of Yorkshire's best beauty spots. Almost a drive by (if you're camping!)

Gordale Scar is a fantastic place and has been one of my favourites since I moved to Yorkshire over 30 years ago. A great walk is up the scar follwoing the path to Malham Tarn and down the dry valley to the top of the Cove. You can then descend and walk along Malham Beck into Malham and return to Gordale via Janet's Foss. The cache is a medium sized snap lock plastic box hidden under a boulder and covered by a small rock. (See spoiler) The coords may be a bit out as they were bouncing around all over. The published figures are the average of many readings. Please push it right back in when you replace it as this is a very busy muggle area. This is likely to increase the difficulty rating during summer lunchtimes.
