Geocache Description:

This is my Weston-Wander...Part of my "Join 'em Up" Series

The Weston-Wander is about linking up with an early hide named "Water-Channelling"...which gets very few visitors: please help to change this!

The 6.5 mile circular route is on footpaths except for the last 0.75 or so miles which is on the road...a pleasant lane at the side of Kedleston Hall (NT). Please be careful because there are some blind bends, but there is not a great deal of traffic unless many visitors head to the Kedleston Estate (??) in summer.

I recommend - depending your fitness - starting in a clockwise direction, however this means you will have to climb a fairly steep hill to return to the car, when tired by the end: see Parking 1 & 2 way-points. Parking at each of these - be careful - for two to three cars, each.

Because of this I am intending placing two caches between the start of the road section and the car parking: to give you an incentive!

I guess you will have to climb somehow to regain the height from the valley and it may be a longer gentler climb anti-clockwise.

I shall give some way-points for one or two useful stiles and other guidance for route-finding...but you are advised to take a map!

There is a waypoint from WW 3 to assist you to WW 4, the location of a worthwhile stile

This one is hard - for one of mine that is - the rating reflects this, mind you head, please.

Container is not that unusual but a first of the type for me: log extraction is not difficult on this one - I made a little "tab" to assist.
