There are two routes to this cache. I recommend taking the footpath from Kettlewell. Approx 250m of climb in a mile and a half.
The walk takes you up above Kettlewell on great Whernside. Take the path to the left of Dowber Ghyll (do not go along the ghyll bottom), towards the summit.The cache is located near to Hag Dyke, once the highest inhabited house in the West Riding of Yorkshire and now a Scout Hostel. (The cache is not in the grounds of the house.) The name means the wall bounding the intake from the moor as a 'Dyke' in dialect means a mountain dividing wall and 'Hag' means enclosed land or intake.Hag Dyke also has the highest consecrated chapel in England at 1533 feet. The cache is also close to where the Dowber Ghyll passage runs through the limestone to Dow Cove.
It is advisable to wear boots and to take waterproofs as the weather can be different further up the hillside.
The cache is in a tupperware box with the usual type of contents.
Enjoy the walk and the views.
