Geocache Description:

This cache is not suitable for people with mobility problems or for children in pushchairs. It involves a short walk up a steep hill and the ground is uneven with stones and tree roots. It is very slippery when wet.

Placed with the kind permission of the Forestry Commission.



This is placed closest to the May Beck car park and so I suggest you park there. Please note as soon as you cross the cattle grid from the main road there are sheep wandering on and off the road at will, likewise along the walk to the cache itself. Take care when driving and keep your dog on a lead.

Given time and encouragement most children over the age of 3 could manage this walk, bring a picnic and some paddling shoes for them to make the most of the surroundings. Follow the sign for Falling Foss from the car park to set you off in the right direction for the cache, you will be heading downstream and the steam will be on your left.

I have placed more caches in this area and you could link them together for a circular walk of around 8miles. However, you should be aware that the difficulty rating for the terrain varies from cache to cache hence the separate listings. The other caches in the series thus far are:

• Alum Cave
• The Hermitage
• Old May Beck
• John Bonds Sheep House
• Valley Views
• Lousy Hill Lane

The cache is a small klick lid box containing a log book, pencil, first to find badge and varied small toys.
