This is one of a series of caches. All the caches are placed close to footpaths which are all clearly visible.
There is open water in this area so care needs to be taken with young children.
The footpaths can get waterlogged so boots or wellies are advisable.
Most of the series are placed on land that has been reclaimed from former industrial sites around the Brookside / Stanhill area of Oswaldtwistle. The series can all be done on a circular walk which takes about an hour – the numbers on the cache names will help plan your route. Please respect the natural areas by sticking to the footpaths. All the caches are placed within 3 or 4 metres of footpaths. There have been a large amount of native trees planted in these areas as part of a major re-generation of this former industrial area, including Oak, Pine and Alder and there is an abundance of wildlife including bats, rabbits and deer.
This quarry was abandoned when it hit mine workings which flooded forming what is known as Kemp Delph.
As children we were told it was bottomless.
The cache is placed in the old entrance to the quarry, and is in a safe location.
Keep an eye on children – deep water and also cliffs
