Burnlee means ‘burnt clearing’ which suggests that the land was cleared in a hurry by burning. The suffix ‘leah’ suggests that the initial clearance dates back to pre-conquest times. As you walk through Black Sike Dyke note the ‘rusty’ trees. The bright orange colour on the bark is mustard powder, or gold dust, chrysothrix candelaris lichen. This is common in the UK and is predominantly found on deciduous trees, such as the many Sycamore found in this dyke. It spreads by being distributed by the wind or on the feet of animals. There are lots of squirrels in this wood, so they are probably responsible for the spread of this lichen! This cache is a crafty cache. It is NOT located in a wall.
