A heartfelt plea, Heartley the Sheep is the first TB of a 6yo, please let him travel and complete his mission and don't let him go missing, as his owner would be heartbroken.
Heartley's mission if you choose to take him and therefore except the challenge is to visit places to inspire youngsters to get out and explore the outdoors and nature. The first part of his mission is to leave his starting point of the summit of Ingleborough and go to Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside (he can either visit caches or be dropped in caches on either summit for someone else to take onwards to the next to complete all 3). Once he's bagged the Yorkshire 3 peaks, he then wants to go travelling to kid friendly caches (i.e. big enough for swappables and TB's) across the UK. The caches can be in easy to reach places to encourage the youngest of only-just-walking geocachers to stretch their little legs, or those new to the outdoors, or he could visit more challenging finds like the Ingleborough summit cache that he started from.
Heartley's 6yo old owner BridieTheExplorer started him 2 years ago when she aimed for walking 500 Miles (she did), and raise £500 (not quite but she made more than £200) by 31st December 2017 for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust's Potteric Carr Nature Reserve.
We've been amazed by how far and where he has travelled. We're going to track his ongoing adventures and hope that one day he returns home to Wakefield, West Yorkshire (but not before he's had more incredible places to visit remember. If you want to share interesting facts about the places or caches he visits we'd love to see them on here!
Hearltey is named after Hartley Fell where stand the Nine Standards Rigg summit is. Swaledale sheep are a well known fixture on the Yorkshire 3 peaks, often showing up the human climbers by literally climbing vertically up the steep sides of the 3 peaks while their human counterparts are for the most part more likely to take the slightly less vertical (and more scenic) routes, who can easily be identified as different to the Swaledale sheep by their distinct and varied clothing, as well as their puffing and panting, and groans of "how much further?" as they climb.
