Walk the Line is a series of caches linking Lowca and High Harrington along the cycleway, which follows the route of the old railway. Locals describe the walk/cycle as "goin' down t'line'. The route is tarmaced and suitable for walking, cycling, horses and pushchairs. It is a bit narrow in places, and can get busy at weekends, especially in good weather.
The railway is part of the former Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont railway, and closed in 1973. It used to carry coal and bricks (from the Lowca pit and Micklam brick works).
From this cache, you have a few choices; you can turn round and go back the way you came (recommended with small children), take the access path to your left about 400m further on, and follow the back roads back to the start point at Lowca (this gives a 5.7 mile loop), head back to Distington or up to the college to catch a bus to Whitehaven or continue into Workington.
Eventually we hope to add more caches between Whitehaven and Workington to make this a longer series, where you can take the bus or train between the end points and make it into a loop more easily.
