Dalesman: This cache has been missing for some time and as the owner has not replaced it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

Geocache Description:

This footpath follows a former railway shunting siding from Tweedmouth Station

This cashe is located on part of the Lowry Trail around Berwick Upon Tweed, Tweedmouth and Spittal. If time permits do try and complete the trail which should take approximately three to four hours covering five to six miles and gain an insight into the life of this rent collecting artist.


Lowry was especially fond of Berwick Upon Tweed his first oil painting in 1935 was of the Town Hall he went on to do at least four drawings and two possibly three paintings of the town which were included in his first one-man exhibition in London in 1939 that established his reputation ( Manchester and Salford were the only other two towns to be identified by name in the catalogue ).

Afterward Lowry continued to visit the borough until 1975 the year before his death doubtless finding that the town`s crisp clean air served as an antidote to the polluted atmosphere of the industrial city where he lived and worked.

The artist once said "My recreation seems to have developed into drifting amongst all the back streets I can come across." He was intrigued by such characterful,cobbled closes as Dewer`s Lane and Sally Port whilst Strother`s Yard fasinated him so much that he made no fewer than two drawings and two paintings of the scene These can be seen around the trail.

I have chosen a car park in Spittal (N55 45.625 W001 59.758) as this part of the trail affords fantastic views to the Elizabethan walled town of Berwick from a disused railway bridge now footpath on the trail.From the car park make your way to co-ordinates N55 45.620 W001 59.941 and climb the steps and your off.
If you are only doing this short walk do continue along the path util it exits the road where you can turn right continue down to Dock Road and take in another two Lowry sites on the way back to the car park.
