Geocache Description:

A series of 25 caches, on a circularish route to the south of Gargrave. Distance covered will be around 6.5 miles

There will be assorted stiles/gates/mud/water, but it follows the Pennine Way south, for just under half the distance, and then back along the canal. So easy walking really, with only slight inclines.

You will need tweezers and your own writing implement for some of the caches.


You will need your own writing implement for this log book.

I placed this series, as I particularly like the canal and the views at the far end of this walk. If you research carefully, before you set off, there is 1 other cache by another CO that you will actually pass on this route,  http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC55W23_the-bends , with a further 3 caches, very close to this series http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5G7A8_watery-crossing, http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2T44P_art-depot, http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC217CG_st-peters-view-llc

I would suggest you do this walk in a clockwise route. There is a lights controlled crossing to enable you to safely cross the road, if you leave the car park to the left.  If you leave the car park by the road straight ahead, then there is a safety refuge before you cross the road to the bridge.

Please take care, with this busy road. There is an assortment of gates/stiles/mud/water. There are sheep and cattle in the fields. There may be some thorny encounters, and of course, take care near the canal too.

I hope you enjoy the walk.

Continue over the bridge, and along to the Church. Some lovely house names here, what is your favourtie?!

Note the Church gate, the Millenium Gate.

There is a small footpath sign on your right, from the road, through what looks like someones parking area, and then go over the stile on your left.

I've passed this way twice recently, and today, the impromptu pond in the field, had really filled up, with birds on it, and around it.

Your next cache is Gargrave South~Wedged

From here, continue along the stone flags, and then towards the gate ahead.
 

Congratulations to drake72 for their FTF
