Geocache Description:

Mardale Madness No.4 - 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.

MM4 Castle Crag is on the shore path on the west side of Haweswater, about 5km from a parking spot in the village of Burn Banks. It is about 2km from the end of the road at Mardale Head. It is near the 'summit' of the path and is a good place to stop for a break and admire the scenery.

The cache is in a crack between rocks 70m SW from the summit of the viewpoint. Castle Crag blocks any satellites to the west but this doesn't appear to cause a problem.

This can be combined with MM No.1, 2 and 3 when walking the length of the west side of the lake. It can also be combined with the others in the series for a full circuit of the lake.
