This cache is part of a walk through the edge of the Forest of bowland, around the base of Nicky Nook, alongside Grizedale reservoir. A small magnetic nano container. No pencil.
Grizedale Reservoir was constructed 1861-63 by the original Fylde Water Board. Demand soon outstripped supply, leading to the creation of three further reservoirs to the east, up beyond the tree line. These reservoirs - Barnacre East, Barnacre West and Grizedale Lea now help to supply drinking water to the Fylde area. Grizedale Reservoir itself is no longer used for drinking water, except in times of drought when its water is pumped to top-up the upper reservoirs. It has a tunnel (1.8 x 1.7m) beneath the dam which transports water from the reservoir, finally arriving at Franklaw treatment works.
