Crosthwaite is a small village at the north end of the Lyth Valley. The countryside here is quite lumpy and bumpy with chunks of Silurian mudstone lifting the fields. The cache is in a small parcel of CROW Access land with great views and brilliant rock for any budding geologists!
The view: Scout Scar, Inglebrough, Farleton, the Lyth Valley, top end of Whitbarrow, back of Gummer's How, Black Combe, Caw, and the usual Coniston to Langdale fells. A lovely lookout with some really nice rock to admire and sit on at the summit.
There is no route north to Lord's Lot, so this is a there-and-back cache.
Directions: Parking can be found next to the pub and church - try and avoid their busy times though. Don't try and take the narrow path through the black gate opposite the pub - it leads to a private garden! With care, follow the road round the corner and take the tarmac lane just past the guesthouse. Keep going ahead as it turns into a grass track. It is but a short walk up an old quarry lane and then up the lumpy hillside to the summit. Look for the 1st or 2nd zig-zag up through the gorse. See the map:
