Geocache Description:

Hawewswater Hike: a series of caches around Haweswater that can be done as a complete circuit of the lake or via shorter expeditions. An extra cache to 'complete' the walk on the north side.

We had originally intended to add another cache along here as part of the series. For various reasons it never happened, but we have finally got it sorted! Only 4 years later! There are also some additional ones in a circuit involving Riggindale and the tarns below High Street, which are a good excuse for another visit to this fabulous spot (& 'compensation' for those recent folk who came to finish off the HH series!).


Directions: from Castle Crag, keep following the path! Cross Riggindale valley and a gentle climb up to this promontory. Just a few yards from the path and you will arrive at this cache.
