Traditional micro cache with log and pencil. At the side of the road. Near by parking. Pubs are little further up the hill and at the bottom of the hill. Terrain depends on where you start / park. If approaching from the bottom of the hill this cache is half way up a steep hill. You will probably need tweezers to remove log - please put pencil back in cache first to prevent log going to far down and getting stuck.
This cache meets the Urban Placement Guidelines.
This cache can be done as part of a circular walk around Lindale that incorporates our 5 other caches. To do all 6 caches as a walk a possible parking place is at the skate board park N 054 12.920 W 002 53.636. Some of the paths on the walk can be very boggy and slightly overgrown and one of the paths (on the longest version of the walk) crosses the A590 dual carriageway. Many sections of the walk are not suitable for wheelchairs or push chairs. The longest version of the walk is about 3 miles and you should allow about 2 hours. To do all 6 we recommend that you start with Lindale Limits, then A bridge too far, then Lindale Hill, Hollow Lane Corner, Lindale Lair, finishing with Ha Har. You could also include another Lindale Cache 'Labore Et Honore'(GC10E40) at the start. All but one of the caches (Ha Har)can be accessed from the road side.
Before the A590 was built in 1986 this road was the main route to the furness peninsula. It is now our main route between our two local pubs!
The waterfall has a sluice gate which used to feed a large pond which has long since been filled in and two bungalows built on it! There also used to be a water wheel here.
If you are doing all 6 caches continue up the hill for Hollow lane corner.
