Geocache Description:

One of eight caches making up the Bolam Lake Circular


This circular will take you on a walk around Bolam Lake Country Park, a really lovely location. There are seven caches leading to an 8th bonus cache. Five of the caches each contain easy general knowledge questions whose answers will lead you to a set of coordinates for the final bonus cache. The walk should take you around 2 hours depending upon your walking pace and ability to find the caches. In addition, there are, at the time of placing, three other caches in the park.

Parking is available in a number of official carparks around the site, but the one referenced in the waypoint in #1 would make the most sense if you want to do the caches in order.

My thanks go to Northumberland County Council for permission to place the caches. More visitor information about the Country Park can be found here http://www.northumberlandlife.org/bolamlakecountrypark/

There is an ancient settlement at Slate Hill (near to N 55° 08.010 W 001° 52.760), and although the cache circuit does not take you past it, please try and avoid it.

Cache Specifics : I wouldn't recommend the direct route from #1 or you will get wet. Once you find the correct access to the cache, you are looking for a small tupperware. There are 3 bonus questions in this cache.
