Lying about 3 miles north of Kendal, the fell is made up of four separate peaks ranging in height from 332m. to 427m. It is composed of sedimentary Silurian rocks and shales, has a rugged appearance with little tree cover and its heather, grass and bracken slopes harbour an abundance of wildlife. If you are lucky you may spot an adder or on the tarns an Oyster Catcher or even a predatory Cormorant visiting from one of several colonies in Cumbria. The tarns themselves are numerous, the largest being Gurnal Dubs, (or Fothergill Tarn after the man who dammed the dub), and Potter Tarn.
You can access the fell from Staveley in the west or Garnett Bridge in the east and from a number of points on Potter Fell Road, once called Crow Croft Road, and the Staveley/Bowston back road.
The cache is just off the track on the north side of the dubs. However be gentle looking for it and do not touch/disturb the tree as IT IS NOT IN IT.
