OH13 Over Horncliffe : Lower Clowes Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

StriderGeo: For various reasons I've made the decision to archive all of my caches with a view to starting off again somewhere down the line. I will watch with interest to see if fellow cachers adapt my routes with cache ideas of their own.

Geocache Description:

You are seeking a camouflaged bag with swaps and log. BYOP.  Please replace as found.   Be wary of muggles here....but admire the lodge, grab the cache and have a stroll around... an interesting little backwater.  smiley


I’m leading you on a circular stroll from Lomas Lane over Horncliffe Heights down to Edenfield and back, stopping to take in all the views. Of all my series to date this is the one I would recommend to photographers…….so many photo opportunities en-route.

The series has mainly good paths but there are a couple of steep off-path ascents to gain the magnificent views.

Near to farms a degree of Muggle awareness is needed but otherwise take your time and enjoy :)

Coming back down into Rawtenstall take in the views over the valley and motorway and keep an eye out for steam trains puffing up and down the East Lancashire Railway. I was fortunate laying these caches to be on hand as the Flying Scotsman in its original green livery steamed down the line…. A magnificent sight.
