This is a new location for the former Beda Fell cache which was muggled before anyone managed to find it.
It's a ¼ litre plastic clip-box box containing a log book and pencil and a few other bits and bobs. There's parking at Sandwick below Beda Fell with a steep ascent on a relatively easy path and a short scramble at the top.
This cache was placed during an ascent of Beda Fell from Sandwick followed by a drop down into Boredale Hause and Patterdale and along the lakeside path back to Martindale. From the top of Beda Fell you can look down onto the red roof of The Bungalow, a detached, single storey former shooting lodge that was constructed in 1910 by the Earl of Lonsdale (of Lowther Castle) for a visit by Kaiser Wilhelm to the Martindale deer shoot. It’s now owned by the Dalemain Estate and is let as a holiday cottage.
Keep a watch out for red squirrels in the woods surrounding the lakeside walk. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE CACHE BACK WHERE IT BELONGS. ANOTHER CACHER HAS HAD A CAIRN (WHICH NOW CONTAINS HIS FATHER'S ASHES!) TRASHED BY OTHER CACHERS LOOKING FOR THIS ONE.
