a series of caches along a lovely six mile walk taking around three hours, complete with meadows, pubs, barns, views, old railways and stepping stones
series can also be done on mountain bike, all but one of the caches can be accessed from cycleable trails, Anoraknophobia2 being the exception. this cache hence does not contain a clue to the final cache. See photos for suggested routes by foot or bike, I tend to do the cycle route in reverse order to best appreciate the descents...
contains clue B for final bonus cache
An Almshouse for Linton by Jane Houlton
"there on the village green at the chocolate box settlement of Linton-in-Craven was a Baroque masterpiece, a massive yet ornate structure with a towering cupola flanked by urns and supported by giant pilasters. The sort of thing you don’t normally see outside major historic cities, or maybe in the grounds of the most opulent stately homes. The solving of the mystery entailed many years’ dedicated hard work, delving into archives of the Fountaine family and examining the building itself for clues to its origins. It was a journey that took them right back to the quarry on Thorpe Fell, now deserted and abandoned, which provided the distinctive Yorkshire stone from which the almshouse was built.
Houlton’s detective work finally comes to a conclusion about who designed the noble frontage of the almshouse. For now the figure of Richard Fountaine has been brought out of the shadows, and the likely architect who carried out his last wishes revealed. Beyond reasonable doubt, the architect was William Etty of York, who was known to have worked with and been influenced by both Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor"
