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
The earliest signs of human activity in the Edale valley are tiny slivers of flint known as microliths, which have been discovered emerging from the peat high up on the Kinder plateau. These are evidence that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers came to this high ground on hunting expeditions about 6,000 years ago.
Although much of the area was forested then, the creation of the Royal Forest of the Peak by William Peveril of Castleton after the Norman Conquest of 1066 did not imply it was still forested then.
The Cache
I will re-stress that this cache is not hidden in the dry-stone wall. It is smaller than the last container.
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.
