Geocache Description:

Withnell Circular can be done in any order and the full route will take around 2 - 3 hours. It is approximately 5 miles long. We have listed this as #1 as parking is readily available on the surrounding streets. However, please be considerate of the local residents.


The cache is a small film cannister type container, containing only a log and pencil, but it is advisable to bring your own writing implement as the pencils have a habit of getting mislaid. Previous cachers have found this cache a "little tricky" if further hints are required please feel free to email us.



Please note: Detailed logs aren't a requirement but are very welcome and much appreciated.



This is cache is placed on Withnell Fold Old Road, Brinscall. This road, as the name implies, used to run to Withnell Fold. However, now, parts of it are little more than a path and in places only a farm track. As you walk down, you can see the original wall and near to GZ is the old stile. If you are trying to get to Brinscall via the A674 some Sat Navs still send you up Oakmere Avenue, which leads to Withnell Fold Old Road. Don't follow the Sat Nav! You can no longer access Brinscall via this road.
