Geocache Description:

Located on quiet fellside, near Newby Bridge. Although just off the A590 if you see more than a couple of people up here I would be surprised. Quiet easy walking.

The cache is a Letterbox Hybrid - Please Leave the Stamp.
There are many other Letterboxes in the Lake District - Check Google for Lakeland Letterboxes

This cache is hidden very close to one of the many footpaths criss crossing the fellside above Back Barrow and Newby Bridge in South Cumbria.

You can approach the cache from many directions and there are numerous starting points and 'rounds' you can create for yourself.

Quitet countryside with superb views all round.

If anyone is interested in the Royal Observer Corps bunker near by - a relic from the cold war see the link

Refreshment is available close by at Newby Bridge and in Backbarrow.
