The Cache is on a walk to Cogra Moss known locally as the red route. This derives from the red water, earth and sometimes sheep. The redness is caused by the high concentration or Iron Ore found all around.
Cogra Moss is an artificial water retained by a substantial dam across Rakegill Beck, created as a reservoir about 1880, and discontinued as a public water supply in 1975. It has a pleasant setting surrounded on three sides by Forestry Commission planting on Lamplugh Fell and Knock Murton.
Don't wonder into the woods and don't let your dogs into them, there are some seriously deep and unstable Mine Shafts inside the lower areas.
