Jason's Jaunt # 6.Acastus

This series of caches are in memory of our Golden Retriever, Jason who had a true Golden Fleece. He would have loved this walk as it contains all the elements he loved (and a few he didn’t).
Jason, is the mythical son of Aison, the former King of Ioleus. Jason’s, power hungry brother, Pelias, assumed control of the throne but Jason returned to assert his right to the throne. On his way to Ioleus he is tested by the goddess Hera – who begs for his assistance to cross a stream. Jason rises to the challenge and carries Hera across the stream impressing her so much she makes it her duty to help him on his challenge.
It is now your task to repeat Jason’s challenge – which will test your ingenuity, determination and perseverance but the rewards will be truly worthwhile.
The challenge is made up of 10 parts.
You need to achieve ALL the individual tasks to have any chance of finding
The Golden Fleece.
After your success at Talos . The Giant. Continue SE to the roadway and turn SW to the main road in Bowston. Head back NW and follow the Dales Way signpost at
N 54.21.814 W 002.46.519. Continue NE back to Cowan Head where the track turns WSW at N54.22.074 W002.46.926. The footpath is a little vague here but we found a route through the holding pens and subsequently up the hill. The young cattle here showed interest but posed no problems. The next part of your challenge is to overcome the problems set by Acastus.
