Inspired by the Kelsborrow Wayfinders series on the Sandstone trail. I have started up a series on the Gritstone trail between Teggs Nose and Kidsgrove.
The Gritstone Trail is a long-distance walking path in Cheshire split into three stages. The first stage, 10.3 miles (17 km) in length, leads from Disley to Tegg's Nose; the second, of length 15.3 miles (25 km), from Tegg's Nose to Timbersbrook, is the best for obtaining a close look at gritstone scenery. The final stage of 9.3 miles (15 km) runs from Timbersbrook to Kidsgrove.
The cache is placed on a the Gritstone Trail near Croker Hill and Sutton Common. Parking is available at Hollin Lane for a short walk up the hill or at the side of the road on top of Croker Hill. There are wonderful views across the Cheshire plain and beyond from GZ. So it might be worth bringing a camera. This is the second cache in the series.
The cache is in a 35mm micro film canister with a logbook. There is no pencil in the cache so please bring your own.
From GZ you can see the nearby sutton Quarry that is still in use today.
Well done to gse1986 for the FTF.
