A quiet footpath side cache between two lovely villages, where there is abundant parking. It can be 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 are highly recommended. This Geocache was placed with the kind permission of the ‘Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket Parish Council’. The container unscrews to open.
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. Their timeless character 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 along the river side or around Caldbeck pond, 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: Rush were a Canadian rock band that formed in 1968. Although they remained firmly within the ‘rock’ genre, their style changed throughout their career: in the beginning their music was blues inspired, then it moved into a progressive phase, more latterly returning to guitar driven rock. Rush are well known for their musicianship (the individual members of the band being acknowledged as some of the most proficient players of their respective instruments), complex compositions, and eclectic lyrics drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy and philosophy. After years of uncertainty, the band disbanded in January 2018. Leaving behind worldwide album sales of over 40 million.
