Geocache Description:

Black Hambleton is the highest point and culminating point of the Hambleton Hills - and a fitting place to watch the sunset on Friday 23 June 2017 (the nearest Friday to Midsummer).  The event will run from 21:30 to 22:00, with the sunset expected at about 21:45. Come along, encounter sunset at this great place, have a chat, exchange TBs, join in the banter. 


Black Hambleton is the 6888th highest peak in the British Isles and the 837th tallest in England.  The event is at the trig point, about 399m (1309 feet) above sea level.  Access is via a short track that runs eastwards from a cairn on the Cleveland Way.

You will need to come prepared for the worst that the North York Moors can throw at you. Please wear suitable boots and clothing. And, as it will be dark after the sun has set, you will need a torch. You will also need the ability to navigate to and from the event site - there is no guided walk on and off the hill. 

The nearest car park is at Square Corner - a walk of about 2km (1.25 miles) along a rough and, in places, very steep track.
