A journey into the woods of Finsthwaite - in the dark !
This cache can only be found in the DARK OF THE NIGHT! The darker the better!
This is a night-only cache, virtually impossible during the day. The cache is available 24/7 all year.
When you go to hunt this cache, a bright torch is recommended. Hold it at eye level (a bright head torch would be good) to get the best possible reflection from the trail markers (see photos).
The above location is that of the car park (at High Dam, just behind the Bobbin Mill near Lakeside). The trail starts from the car park at the opposite corner to the entrance road. Start here, walk straight down the path 20-30 yards, then you are off on your own ....
(For clarity's sake : Only in the dark one goes up the left hand path from the gate - if doing Only in the dark one first then you must return to the gate then as instructed walk 10-20yds straight on down the path where you will see the first firefly. It is not intended that you continue straight on from Only in the dark One !)
With your torch at eye level carefully shine your torch all around onto the tree trunks beteen waist and head height until you see the bright reflectors indicating your path. If you hold your light at your side, the fireflies may appear dim or even be invisible.
'Only in the dark 1' is easy, a five minute walk to warm you up. 'Only in the dark 2', starting from the same place is a little more difficult.
Keep following the trail of reflectors until you come to a large slab facing you the cache is underneath a boulder at its base covered by a few stones.
Good luck, and enjoy your adventure in the DARK OF THE NIGHT.
