A peaceful cache by the side of one of my favourite footpaths. The route basically follows the course of the rivers Caldbeck and Caldew between the two villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket (where there is abundant parking). It can be approached from either end, and combined with the other caches in the area, but be warned, it get very, very muddy. So, unless the ground is frozen or we have had a long dry period, then wellies or walking boots are highly recommended. This Geocache was placed with the kind permission of the ‘Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket Parish Council’.
These are two of the most beautiful and peaceful of all the Lakeland villages, lying at the foot of the Northern Fells and just inside the Lake District National Park. The timeless character of the area has been preserved as a conservation area where ponies, sheep, cattle and even ducks roam freely. There are lots of amenities and picturesque local walks of all standards; from easy strolls (like this one), to the more strenuous nearby mountains of High Pike or Carrock Fell.
I am a massive rock music fan and aim to give clues to each of my caches with reference to one of my favourite bands: Queen are a British rock band that formed in London in 1970. Their earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but gradually evolved into more conventional and radio friendly songs by incorporating other musical styles. Seen as the ultimate arena act, Queen’s performance at the 1985 ‘Live Aid’ concert has been ranked among the greatest in music history by many music publications. Their back catalogue is immense and contains many famous songs, including that ‘particular' one, which are still played daily on radio around the world. Estimates of Queen’s worldwide record sale have reached as high as 300 million.
