A multi-cache that takes you around the villages of Crawshawbooth, Goodshawfold and Loveclough. It’s a nice walk for one of the – admittedly rare – Lancashire sunny days.
This is our first cache, which was placed in memory of our old cat who used to roam this area and who was run over last year. The cache itself is a small clip-lock box with a number of cat-related goodies in it.
Please respect the cat theme of the cache when trading items.
The walk begins at the coordinates given above. At each stage you will have to find certain clues which will help you to calculate the coordinates of the next stage. The whole walk should take about an hour and a half.
Handy hint: take a calculator and a pen!
