Geocache Description:

The footpaths for this series are generally firm compacted stone. They are in good condition, but unpaved, and there may be some steeper inclines to reach some of the caches. The minor trails can be wet and muddy. The tree cover even in winter is quite dense, so don't rely 100% on your GPS.

This walk will take you along the side of the river Churnet and in place cross areas of what remains of the Uttoxeter Canal. This was a 13-mile extension to the Cauldon Canal, which opened in 1811 and was shut in 1845. Most of the route was then replaced by the railway line, which ran from Uttoxeter to Macclesfield. The line was closed during the Beeching Axe of the 50’s and 60’s.

Just off path on left hand side, when coming from Denstone. Please be careful when going down the bank. It can be Slippery When Wet.

F.T.F Honours goes to team pendolino. Congratulations.
