N 53° 49.ABC
W 001° 36.3DE

where A, B, C, D and E are numbers hidden in the 5 caches along the walk. Fill in the numbers to reveal the cache's location!


The walk for this series starts in Kirkstall Abbey park. Then, head south through park following the path of an old miniature railway track (now sadly gone). Turn right and continue on Bridge Road over the river. Bear left onto Wyther Lane and join the canal towpath. Head north along the canal towards Liverpool (a mere 124 miles away). Cross the canal once you reach the forge locks, and ascend into Bramley Falls park. Continue following the canal into Toads Hole woods, and cross back over the canal, the train tracks, and the river at Pollard Lane. Turn right onto Rein Road and continue through the woods in Kirkstall Forge goit unti you reach New Road Side in Horsforth. Turn right towards Leeds and cross over the road. Follow the footpath sign on the left into the edge of Hawksworth Woods and continue, keeping the main road on your right, until you reach Vesper Road. Continue along Abbey Road towards Leeds and you will return to the Abbey House Museum.

Overall the route is about 5 miles, and may take around 2 hours walking time. Obviously your own time depends how quickly you can find the caches!
