Geocache Description:


Skipton Woods is a woodland haven alongside one of Britain’s best preserved, most popular medieval castles. The wood’s links with the castle date back at least 1,000 years. A canal towpath, following the line of Skipton Castle ramparts and Springs Canal, provides a direct link between the town’s High Street and the woods, following the course of Eller Beck through a stunning steep-sided valley. Most of this ancient woodland is dominated by ash but the occasional sycamore, beech, Scots pine, Norway spruce and hornbeam indicate a greater variety in the past. The woods are renowned for their vivid displays of bluebells and wild garlic and sustain five species of bat. Green and greater spotted woodpeckers add their colour, while kingfisher and heron may be seen fishing the waterways.

Care needs to be taken near the cache as there is a very steep drop alongside the path so please keep an eye on the kids and I wouldn't reccomend tackling by torchlight. I averaged several GPS readings at GZ but it was jumping around quite a bit.

The cache is a 35mm film cannister

Good luck!
