Geocache Description:


The 2016 extension of the Yorkshire Dales National Park increased the area of the park by 24%, extending the boundary westwards almost to the M6 motorway.  The YDNP rangers built a new boundary marker soon afterwards, and a cache was placed there, but, before it was published, the new marker was demolished by persons unknown (the rangers think it was done deliberately), and the cache was buried, then recovered.  The boundary stone was rebuilt then damaged again, so the new cache is near to but not behind the boundary marker.  It is not in the dry stone wall, but very near to it.  The stone used to hide the cache is not from the wall, but is a left-over from the boundary marker.  If you are travelling east by car then slow down as you come over the top of the hill, by the double chevrons, and park in the small lay-by just before the YDNP sign.  If you miss this, then there is another small lay-by a few yards beyond the YDNP sign.  If you are travelling west (uphill) then it is usually possible to park in one of the same lay-bys, but take extra care because they are on the opposite side of the road and vehicles come over the hill at high speed.  This is the best viewpoint to look over Sedbergh and the Western Dales, Winder, Baugh Fell, Rise Hill and the Moddleton Fells.
