G:UK cache rating

PLEASE PRINT OUT THIS SHEET AS YOU WILL NEED IT TO UNDERTAKE THIS CHALLENGE!

This is a 4-part multi-cache situated in Grizedale forest. The cache follows the six mile black BIKE route in a clockwise direction and is suitable for biking or walking. The starting point is Bogle Crag car park at N54 19.843 W003 01.107, which is just south of the visitor centre.

Grizedale forest is very unique because over the last 25 years it has been home to up to 100 sculptures hidden throughout the forest. The Gremlins grew up just to the south of here, so we have many happy memories of sculpture hunting, walking and biking throughout this woodland. Gremlin K has seen 88 of the 94 sculptures, which are mainly made of natural materials, so each year new ones are built whilst the others are left to naturally decay. We have therefore decided to take you on a journey to find some of our favourite sculptures hidden within the forest.

The co-ordinates on this page take you to your first sculpture. As you approach the sculptures you will notice smaller wooden sculptures in the shape of animals. These are the way markers that help locate sculptures hidden off the main track. You will need to find the woodland way marker and choose the correct animal from the options below, which will give you the co-ordinates to the next sculpture, where you will find another way marker:

Which animal is guarding Sculpture 1:

1. Deer N54 20.615 W003 00.421
2. Squirrel N54 20.388 W003 00.396
3. Fox N54 20.801 W003 00.461

Which animal is guarding Sculpture 2:

1. Mole N54 19.468 W003 00.339
2. Badger N54 20.152 W003 00.471
3. Frog N54 19.906 W003 00.303

Which animal is guarding Sculpture 3:

1. Otter N54 19.734 W003 00.196
2. Caterpillar N54 19.556 W003 00.418
3. Rabbit N54 18.896 W003 00.257

The correct answer for Sculpture 3 will lead you to the final cache box located at another sculpture. The usual encrypted clue will help in locating the final cache box (part 4).

We would love to see any pictures of your travels, but please don't put any pictures of the final sculpture on the website because people could cheat and go straight there!

A map can be obtained from the centre, which contains more information on the many sculptures along the route. There is also a café, shop and toilets as well as bike hire (see www.grizedalemountainbikes.co.uk).

HAPPY HUNTING
THE GREMLINS

Co-ords may be slightly out due to tree cover!
