Geocache Description:

Last cache of 8 in this series.

Recently we added the previous new cache to this series "EasyPeasey #6.5 Tramway Plaque" so from there return to the Crooklands Hotel. To the left (N) of the hotel take Bobbin Mill Lane passing Crooklands Mill Garage through a field where caravans are stored/abandoned (but not a caravan site!) and onto the footpath beyond.

_____________________________

Often cows here!!

Hidden near part of the old tramway embankment which once served the Gunpowder works in nearby Gatebeck. This can be seen looking down the hill over the other side of the beck. It's quite obvious, particularly now a number of trees have been removed which were causing root damage to the stretch of the tramway. The Tramway ran from Gatebeck through to the Canal at Crooklands and on to Milnthorpe. AS ALWAYS PLEASE LEAVE THE AREA AS FOUND Do Not go through Caravan park directly to #7 you may be shouted at and you WILL be on the wrong side of the beck.

_____________________________

Parking for this set of 8 caches is available in the village of Endmoor. There is a small amount of parking in the village, which is all roadside. The lower part of Dove Nest Lane near the bowling green has some roadside parking available, but please park responsibly. Start out from EasyPeasey#1 with these O.S. waypoints to aim for, using public footpaths and lanes. Kaker Mill (right at the monkey puzzle tree), Preston Patrick Hall, Camsgill, Whetstone, Black Yeats, Preston Patrick Church, Bobbin Mill Lane and Peasey Beck Footpath. You WILL come across stoney lanes, livestock (and what they leave behind), mud, thorns, nettles and a short walk on a BUSY road.
