Geocache Description:

First cache on this walk  from the village of Leathley in beautiful Lower Wharfedale. Begin  the walk along the  tarmac lane  to Leathley Hall....it looks like a private road but walkers are welcome and access is no problem.

A walk of about 4 miles  starting in  the village of  Leathley ( on the B6161, accessed from the A658  Otley to Harrogate Road), in beautiful Lower Wharfedale  using some well known  and some lesser  used paths.

No public transport  serves the village.

.There are 10 caches and a bonus. Each cache contains a clue to the bonus and they are NOT repeated.

A basic knowledge of a well known cipher..... ( ...  ---  ...)  is required  to find the bonus.

All caches  are on or very close to public or permissive paths and none are over fences  or in/over walls.

Please be aware that the paths are very muddy and slippy after wet weather.

Please keep to the paths and obey the Country Code.

This is a panoramic walk  in a very scenic area. The views are long reaching at times. You will see Almscliffe Crag, Ilkley Moor, Otley Chevin, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Arthington Viaduct, Norwood Mast  and part of the Lower Washburn  Valley.   Red Kites also abound.
