Geocache Description:

The cache

The cache is a camouflaged plastic screw-top container that sits beside Liverton Road, and could be described as an easy 'park and grab' but for Liverton Road itself.


The road

This narrow snake of tarseal winds you high above SH2 from Hebden Crescent. As the cache name suggests, the road is not for the faint-hearted.

Getting there

Turn off SH2 at the quarry exit onto Hebden Crescent. Turn right along Hebden and after a short stretch take the Liverton Road exit if you dare. There are a dozen or so houses on this road and (fingers crossed) you shouldn't meet anyone coming the other way. If you do you'll need to negotiate from a distance as to who will back up. But don't let this put you off as the locals know the score. You'll pass the cache on the way up, find a spot to turn around, and begin the descent. You'll catch a unique view and may wish to pull over and take a photo for the log. Or not.

Parking

There's a spot at GZ to park and enough space for a couple of cacher's vehicles if necessary. Though likely as not you'll be the only brave individual on the road.

About the dog

The Alsatian in the property over the road may look fierce, bark loudly, and attempt to escape from under the gate; but so far as I know it hasn't managed it yet (fingers still crossed).

Swag

There is a small amount of space available for swag/trackables (it is no longer an ammo can).

A note for the very brave: Below the cache on the tight hairpin corner, on the left going up, glow worms are visible at night. This pointer courtesy of Sansui who found the cache on 20.2.2016.
