'Round Lyme' is a 51 cache series placed predominantly on footpaths round the perimeter of Lyme Park.
Lyme Hall and estate is well known as Pemberley the home of Mr Darcy (played by Colin Firth) in a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'.
As a result the House and Grounds are much visited but the local Public Rights of Way are also impressive in their own right.
Much of the series affords stunning vistas, on sunny clear days, and should appeal to those geocachers with six or so hours to spare and who enjoy a 9 mile hike. As well as the hike there is something for a variety of 'Anoracs', with 51+ smileys for the frantic geocachers, one trig point just off the circuit at Sponds Hill for trig point grabbers, two 'Gold' post boxes for the new age baggers.
N.B. Recent tightening up of the 'No ground breaking rule' has had an impact on the availability of good hides, and as a result many of the caches are in 35 mm film pots, in rather predictable locations; we can't have everything!
