02/04/12 - Editing the page to say that after all the interest the farmer has given to this cache site, We've removed the 'well crafted' cache and replaced it with a simple micro. The original took hours of painstaking work to produce and we wouldn't like to think it might end up on the farmer fire.
06/04/12 - The cache has mysteriously vanished, we've left a replacement in a slightly different location. The coordinates have been changed.
After finding this cache continue along the bridleway till you reach the farm.
In springtime the fields on either side may have sheep and lambs present.
Just before the farm, on the right hand side, climb the ladder stile (this could be difficult for dogs); take the public footpath at the side of the farm not the footpath towards Coley. Sheep or rams are often present in this field. Walk down the hill and over the wooden bridge. By now you may be able to hear the waterfall but not yet see it.
As an alternative route after heavy rain or if you don't fancy stepping across the stream, turn right at the stile near the farm, signposted to Coley. Continue to the next stile. Immediately after crossing this stile turn left on an unmarked path at the edge of the woods. The path then bares left towards the Waterfall cache. It would then be necessary to retrace your steps back to the stile near the farm. This would add approx. 0.5 mile to the walk.
Continue with the walk as previously stated towards the wooden bridge.
