Geocache Description:

This cache is part of my 'Booth Loop' series, almost half of which runs along the Pennine Way.


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

Upper Booth mainly consists of a farm on the National Trust's High Peak estate. It is just north-east of the point where Crowden Brook meets the river Noe. The Pennine Way passes through the farmyard here on the way to Jacob's Ladder.

The Cache

You'll come to a small 'bridge' across a very small stream. The cache is near here, before the gate, with a stone keeping it in place.

Please replace the cache and stone exactly as found, as otherwise it could go missing.

You'll need your own pen as there isn't one in the cache, and you do need to sign the log to claim a find.
