Part three 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 NOT possible to get to GZ by car as vehicles are not allowed this far up the road.
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 pass "Penrith Countryside Walk 2", under the motorway and another few minutes 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. This location is right in the countryside which shows 15 minutes walk and you are what feels a long way from a town.
The cache container is a Small Screw Top 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, a Stylus from a mobile phone, USB lead to mobile phone connection and my first Trackable dog tags "Travel English Counties"
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 you will need to do a little more that just standing there to retireve 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
