HUYTON TRAIL #12 - DON'T FORGET TO RECORD YOUR LOG
Huyton Trail will take you on a tour on the outskirts of Huyton, Roby and Netherley. The terrain varies a bit from paved streets at the start of the trail to off road footpaths towards the end. In these places it can be a bit nettley in the summer so long pants and sleeves then, and quite muddy after rain so wellies or boots are advisable in the winter. There is a selection of sizes of cache, some are large enough for trackables, others merely nanos. The trail, if done as a whole is a circular walk of approx 5.5km. Numbers 11-16 are on a linear path of approx 1.5km - Most of the rest can be done either as drive-bys or with just a short walk
Carr Lane, a medievil track that is the footpath you're on now, takes part of its name from the Norse word kjarr, which means marshy scrub or brushwood. Many places in Britain containing ‘carr’ in their name are in low-lying areas of lakes and mosslands.
As mentioned in previous pages in this series, to the right of this track is Bowing Park & its golf course. To the left is Twickenham Drive estate, built on a series of fields which, as far as I can remember, were never farmed. The locals, including myself, used them to walk their dogs and to pretend we were in the countryside. There was also access to the Pony Club field from here.
You're looking for a very slim cache
