Geocache Description:

Stockport’s first cache! It’s in Reddish Vale park, a small urban park just outside of Stockport.

You can park at N53°26.350, W002°08.724 which costs 25p, payable at the Visitors’ Centre (if it’s open). The cache is a short walk (less than half a kilometer) from the car park.

There are a number of trails here, including the Trans Pennine Trail and a short walk around a mill pond with a spectacular view of an abandoned railway viaduct, but the trail you are looking for is the Woodland and Riverside Trail, which will take you to the banks of the river Tame.

The cache is hidden a short walk from the car park but it is an uneven and unsealed path that is not suitable for wheelchairs. Buggies should be okay though.

Alternatively, if you fancy a longer walk, head for Tiviot Dale (entrance to car park at N53°25.108, W002°09.056). From here it is approximately a 5km round trip along the 'Deadline', part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

Cache is a clear tupperware box, and contains some goodies, a logbook and pen and a camera - please take a picture and tell us when the film is full. Thanks!
