This cache is
placed just off a level walkway around Scarborough Mere.
It is a small traditional cache in a click lid box packed with
the usual goodies including a first to find badge.
Fishing.
This is a popular haunt for course fishing. Roach, rudd, bream,
tench, carp and pike are said to be in the lake which is restocked
annually, although they have been depleted in recent years. You
need the usual Environment Agency Rod licence plus a day ticket to
fish there. I understand that the water baliff does rounds of the
banks a few times a day and the ticket costs £5. Permits can be
purchased in advance from fishing shops in Scarborough.
Disability Access:
The path around the lake is wheelchair accessible and there are
accessible points from which to fish. Assistance would be needed to
retrieve and replace the cache.
Family information:
Please keep a close eye on your young cachers. The pathway is next
to open water. There is a play park within a short stroll to the
south of the mere. This has woodland behind and an area of open
grass at the side for playing. The lake itself has several picnic
benches dotted around its circumference which have metal plates on
them for disposable BBQ’s. With ample free parking this is a nice
spot to spend a few hours in the fresh air with the kids without
spending any money.
