Geocache Description:

Mardale Madness No.2 - Cunning cached conundrums around Haweswater.

Each cache in the Mardale Madness series is a standard cache - find and fill in the logbook as normal.

Each cache also contains several copies of a cunning puzzle - please take one. Solve the puzzle and email me the answer. If you find all the caches and complete all the puzzles you will receive the coordinates for a final, bonus cache.

MM2 Four Stones Hill is on the east end of Bampton Common, about 2km from a parking spot in the village of Burn Banks. It is near a small tarn, a couple of standing stones and a cairn.
The cache is on the SW side of the summit in a rocky area. Watch out for loose rocks. It is a reasonable size box

This can be combined with MM No.1 and No. 3 into a circular walk. If coming from MM No.1, the Ford waypoint is a handy spot to cross a serious bog! It can also be combined with the others in the series for a half or full circuit of the lake.
