A lovely walk through one of Derbyshire's prettiest dales. Not always easy underfoot, and steeper near the cache.
The coordinates above are not where the cache is hidden, you will need to print out the clues to find it.
[1] From Monyash follow the trail
past the source, along the dale
[2] until by some columns you draw near
(an aquaduct once was flowing here)
a path goes off left, so follow that line
up and along until you reach a mine
[3] The entrance here is in plain view
but the cache is not there, but at number two
higher and smaller you must seek
and at the entrance leftwards peek
and when it's found and signed in ink
[4] walk to the Lathkill and have a drink!

English Nature have produced some great materials for the dale. Visit their Lathkill Dale web site and also print out their leaflet about the local geology (PDF format).
