Langbar Loop #9: Harding's Lane
The 9th cache in the series, a camo-taped preform tube, is the 2nd cache hidden along Harding's Lane which passes through the hamlet of Langbar.
Note: the attributes and terrain rating (1.5) apply to access from the alternative parking, otherwise if doing the cache in sequence the attributes would be as for #7 and the terrain rating is 2.
See Langbar Loop #1 for background info on the series including a map.
Alternative access/parking: if intending to do the cache with #9 or as a one-off, a small space for off-road parking is available @ N 53 57.454 W 1 51.360 - the site of the long-gone Methodist Chapel.
Harding's Lane, with its differently named sections is a narrow, twisty road connecting Beamsley at its western end with Middleton near Ilkley at its eastern end.
It is a high level road running through picturesque farm and moorland roughly parallel to the lower level West Hall Lane featured in #2 which it joins at each end. It is a generally low-Lycra route!
