Chellow Dene Delight (West Yorkshire) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Biffas: Sad to say that, after being in place for well over 17 years, this one appears to have been taken by someone with just one find . It was one of our earliest hides,and it is a shame that it has come to a sad end,with an offensive log posted by the finder. Many thanks to all those who found it over the years.

Geocache Description:

A short pleasant walk through woods to two Victorian reservoirs.

Chellow Dene reservoirs were built in Victorian times in a deep wooded valley which is now a haven for wildlife including heron, tawny owls and woodpeckers.

The cache is a small container and is located close to a path which forms part of a circular walk round the reservoirs. There is a small car park on Haworth Road at Sandy Lane (N 53 48.837 W 001 49.885) and it is approximately 0.7 miles from here to the cache.

The path is fairly wide and well defined with only the occasional boggy bit, and is mostly flat. Please ensure that the cache is replaced carefully and is not visible.

Initial contents were:

Calculator
CD
Bamboo necklace
Leather jewellery
Pair of dice
Wooden puzzle
Friendship band
Winnie the Pooh eraser

As GPS cover may well be erratic and poor under the tree cover, it would be adviseable to take a reading at the car park and then stay on the appropriate path keeping the expected distance in mind. There is improved satellite reception as you get closer to the final location.

Enjoy the walk.
