This is a micro cache located on the truly stunning trail leading around Derwent reservoir in the Peak District. Although the cache itself is around 3 miles from the start of the trail. (near the start of the slippery stones) Its recommended that you continue on as there are more caches and amazing sights to be found.
Stealth may be required for this cache during busy periods as the cache is at the half way resting point for the trail. Please take care not to get noticed!
The red grouse Lagopus lagopus is unique to the United Kingdom. A lot of people do not realise that they are also truly wild, and that unlike pheasant and partridge, its population is not maintained or increased by the release of birds which have been hatched or reared in captivity. They are only found in those areas that are dominated by heather moorland, and live on the moor all year round. Red grouse are also very territorial, and their particular vulnerability to predation, disease, weather and loss of suitable habitat has a significant impact on their survivability.
FTF honors go to The Pumpkins!! Truly persevering cachers - returned within a weekend to ensure they found the cache first :)
