There is nothing particularly special about this cache container - it's a waterproof clip lock box - but it is placed (or, rather, tucked away) in a setting of real natural beauty as the River Rivelin tumbles and churns across two sets of stepping stones on its journey down the valley towards the River Loxley at Malin Bridge.
Sheffield is renowned for its greenery and proximity to the natural beauty of the Peak District. This geocache is positioned less than four miles from the city centre but a world away from the hustle and bustle of England's fourth largest city.
The River Rivelin rises on the Hallam moors, in north west Sheffield, and flows for three and a half miles along a woodland valley which includes the popular Rivelin Valley Nature Trail created in 1967. A relatively fast-flowing river (it drops 80 metres between Rivelin Mill Bridge and Malin Bridge), the Rivelin is fed by a constant release of water from the nearby moorland peat. Its flow was exploited for centuries as a power source, driving the water wheels of up to 20 industries (forges, metal works, flour mills, etc.) along its course.
If you cross the stepping stones to get to GZ, please be careful of the fast flowing river, especially if the river is particularly full.
Happy finding, and I hope you enjoy your walk.
