I decided to add a letterbox to my collection, there is a stamp inside the box to add to your collection if you want but you can do this as normal cache if you like.

Pendle Water is a minor river in Lancashire.
Rising on Pendle Hill, Pendle Water cuts a deep valley between Barley Moor and Spence Hill, where it feeds the two Ogden Reservoirs, before making its way eastward through Roughlee, collecting Blacko Water, draining the valley near Wheathead, at Water Meetings - 1 mile west of Blacko, then moving south by Higherford and Barrowford, where it is joined by Colne Water.
Pendle Water subsequently runs by the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate west of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to its confluence with the River Calder in Reedley Hallows northwest of Burnley.
The water was once supplier to Burnley Water Treament Works which is situated on Wood End Lane
The river was once used to power many mills and wash the weaving prepared in several mills on it's length.
This cache is placed at a location on the river where a weir was built for Higherford mill in the 1780s. A sluice was constructed to power the water wheel.
This is not quick cache since it is not on the footpath side of the river and in order to get to the cache you will need to either swim across the river upstream of the weir or wade the river downstream.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET TO THIS CACHE AFTER HEAVY RAIN, THE RIVER RISES AND FALLS QUICKLY AND WILL BE DANGEROUS IN FLOOD.
