This series of caches is designed
to show you some lovely areas but alas, lightly used. This walk is
around Cherry Wood and Hinderton. There are a mixture of different
caches ranging from Nano to Large, and all ranging quite widely in
difficulty. I hope you enjoy this series.
This walk is around 2 miles in
length and starts at Upper Raby Road, with parking at School Lane.
(Waypoint below).
THE WALK:
1. After parking
your cache-mobile, turn around and head in the direction of Raby
village. Almost on your immediate right, you will come to a public
footpath next to Cherry Farm. Turn down here and you will pass
through a small gate. Walk until you come to a junction by a
Sandstone Pillar and turn right.
2. Continue
walking through this woodland, known, as Cherry Wood, and you will
walk past ac-p’s
Cat Basket cache.
3. After a short
distance, you should see a wooden stile on your right, leading into
a field; cross this stile and turn left, as this is the end of the
woodland that is permissive. On walking through this field, you
will pass the entrance to Hawkeyeone1’s
The Bigger the Better!! cache, which is a large, so you can
drop off some rather big trackables. Continue walking until you
reach the end of the footpath and come out on Bluebell
Lane.
4. At the end of
the road, turn right onto Quarry Road, passing a former Water
Tower, (now in residence), please note that Quarry Road has no
pavement in places and can get quite busy so please be careful with
young geo-kids.
5. Turn right down
a wide track, known as School Lane and walk right the way along the
path until you reach your car. I hope you have enjoyed this
walk.
This is the fifth and final cache in the Circular Donut series.
I thought I would give you a nice simple one to finish off and I
hope you have enjoyed the walk and the caches.
