Part one of up to six caches that will become a circular walk out of Penrith through the countryside and back to the starting area again.
The is my first cache placement of what will hopefully become six plus a bonus cache in a circular walk. Actual walking time without stops is around 45 minutes.
Parking is advised at N 54° 40.062 W 002° 46.093 which can be found along Bowerbank Way, Gilwilly Industrial Estate. This is a regular used spot for dog walkers. This is an ideal point as the walk will bring you back towards this point if you complete the circular walk.
It is possible to get to GZ by car but not advised due to other road users down this dead end road (which may also be private for vehicles).
This is a circular walk that I regulalry take during my lunch break where you will go through the local nature reserve Thacka Beck located next to the parking point. Going out the otherside of the reserve you join Thacka Lane near to the railway line. A short walk up the lane takes you directly to GZ.
I'm sure you will soon realise why I have chosen the route as you soon leave Penrith an enjoys the views of the local contryside. At points on the walk you would forget that you are so close to a large town.
The cache container was replaced and best can be described as being about the size of a test tube. Log only so please remember to bring the usual tools.
Note: I have taken care in the placement of this cache so that it should be visible from the road without trampling down all the local vegetation. At times it may be covered, so please take care by gently moving the vegetation.
On the log you will also find a couple of letters with numbers that will be required for a later bonus cache.
