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 a bit more adventurous, there are a couple of my 'Oh Noe' mini-series set very close to the route of this series.
History
Edale Valley is overlooked by the Iron Age fort on Mam Tor and lies to the south of Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District. It was settled in the 13th century.
The small village of Edale grew from the herdsmens' shelters or 'booths' established at what are now the hamlets of Upper Booth, Barber Booth, Grindsbrook Booth, Ollerbrook Booth and Nether Booth. Grindsbrook Booth is now more usually referred to as Edale Village.
The Cache
I will re-stress that this cache is not hidden in the dry-stone wall.
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.
