Congratulations to FTF - 1tank2monkeys1mum!
This area of the woods is particularly nice to visit during April & May when all the bluebells are out.
There are a few different paths through the woods from Gem's Walk #3 that we like to use rather than just following the path along the bottom of the woods
This is a series of caches along the walk we regularly take with our dog Gem, hence the series name!
Parking is available at "Gem's Walk #1-Fetch" (GC7QE5T).
The caches are a mix of micro and small containers. To ensure good condition of the cache please make sure all lids are properly closed.
As the country park is regularly used place, please ensure you place the caches back in exactly the same place.
Dearne Valley runs alongside the river for two miles from Old Mill to the Trans Pennine Trail viaduct at Lundwood.
The park is less than a mile from Barnsley town centre and is surrounded by the communities of Oakwell, Old Mill, Monk Bretton, Lundwood, Stairfoot and Hoyle Mill.
Thanks go to Russell Boland of Barnsley council for providing permission to place these caches. Please note, the fishermen are regulars to the country park and act as volunteer stewards, if anybody approaches you please don’t act suspicious and tell them about geocaching and the permission from Russell Boland.
