Part two of up to six caches that will become a circular walk out of Penrith through the countryside and back to the starting area again.
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 past "Penrith Countryside Walk 1" where another 10 minute walk and you should reach 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 is a Small Clip Lock Box suitable for small item swaps. Inside there is the usual Log and Pencil. At the time of placement there was also a small selection of coloured paper clips, T9 Scredriver (useful for repairing small devices like mobiles etc) and a magnet out of a computer hard disc drive.
Note: I have taken care in the placement of this cache so that it should be retrieved from the road without trampling down all the local vegetation. It is out of site but reaching around with your hand and you will soon find it. 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.
