This small series of caches takes you on a loop of about 3.5 miles between Grindsbrook Booth (Edale itself), Upper Booth and Barber Booth. Parking is available in the village, and there are waypoints showing this on the first cache in the series. Most of the cache containers are either small clip-boxes or micro tube style containers. None of them have pens in, so you will need to bring your own.
None of the caches are in dry stone walls, so please do not look in any.
While you're walking around the loop, don't forget to look around you. This series is set in a beautiful valley, and the views alone are well worth the walk. It would be great to see photos on the logs! If you're feeling particularly adventurous, there are a couple of my 'Oh Noe' mini-series set very close to the route of this series.
History
The Pennine Way is a trail which runs for 268 miles from Edale to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland. It was the very first National Trail in the UK, and was originally conceived by Tom Stephenson, who was inspired by trails in America. He proposed the idea in 1935, but it took 30 years to bring to fruition, with the final section being officially opened on 24 April 1965.
This section of the trail originally headed north from Edale over Kinder Scout, but due to erosion it was re-routed to run west to Jacob's Ladder.
The Cache
When you get to the gate on the way to this one, take the left-hand path, going through the gate. You are looking for a camoflaged tube hidden under a rock
Please replace the cache exactly as found. Don't forget to bring a pen along, as there isn't one in the cache, and you do need to sign the log to claim a find.
