Geocache Description:

A great bench and viewpoint above the River Lune. A peaceful spot despite the motorway!

The A685 is just one of the transport links squashed into Tebay Gorge, just south of old railway village.  There's the motorway, the west coast main rail line, the A road and a minor all squeezing into the narrow gorge, and mightily constrained by the presence of the River Lune of course!  Lots of bridges.

The small road to Roundthwaite provides a good vantage point, easy parking in a lay-by,and there's a small footpath down to the riverside. You can even walk under the m-way and railway if you wish. By the river are some benches remembering some local fisher folk who presumably enjoyed this bend in the river.  It's an interesting little corner.

Park in the obvious layby. Walk 50m further north until the nice roadside bench with a handy view. Say hi to Rena. Cache is before you reach the bench but nice to visit it and sit.

Cache is a black vial. Please rehide the cache well, but with subtlety, thanks.

To visit the river there's a small fisher folk pathlet that heads NE down a small ridge through the bracken to the river. Aim for the windsock sign on the m-way to find the start of it! It is a bit steep in places and best not done in your finest suit & shoes. Also rather brackened in the summer.
