A very short journey into the woods of Finsthwaite - in the dark !
This cache can only be found in the DARK OF THE NIGHT! The darker the better
This is a night-only cache, virtually impossible during the day. The cache is available 24/7 all year.
When you go to hunt this cache, a bright torch is recommended. Hold it at eye level (a bright head torch would be good) to get the best possible reflection from the trail markers (see photos) If you hold your light at your side, the fireflies may appear dim or even be invisible.
The above location is that of the car park (High Dam - just behind the Bobbin Mill near Lakeside. The start of the tail is from the footpath at the opposite corner of the car park to the entrance road.
Start here, the trail goes up the hill from here.
Look uphill and carefully shine your torch all around onto the tree trunks beteen waist and head height until you see the bright reflectors indicating your path.
'Only in the dark 1' is easy, a five minute walk to warm you up. 'Only in the dark 2', starting from the same place is a little more difficult.
Keep following the trail of reflectors until you come to a large boulder, the cache is underneath.
Good luck, and enjoy your adventure in the DARK OF THE NIGHT!
