3 schools of thought Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hi we are off to the Lake District where there are quite a few caches! We will only be there a couple of weeks so would like to do the best ones. Wondered if anyone had any advice, particularly on good circle walks - nice to spend the day out caching knowing you're actually walking back to the car rather than reaching a destination and then having to trek back. We don't mind 5 - 8 mile walks. Would really appreciate some advice from those who live out that way or those who have been there, done that etc. Thanks in advance for any help!

lakeuk Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Borrowdale Valley, good selection of caches, start at Grange, look on the OS map for the obvious circlar walk http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...p;lng=-3.161600 Staveley for 'Secret Staveley Series' and 'Jason's Jaunt' - plus highly recommend checking out Wilf's Cafe, to find it follow the cyclists and walkers in Staveley http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...p;lng=-2.814167 Caches around Grasmere and Rydal - make sure you taking Loughrigg Terrace and the Rydal Caves http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...p;lng=-3.008483 Would also recommend caches in the Hodge Close but most of these are premium only at the mo, parking available at the disused quarry http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...p;lng=-3.054200 If you really want an adventure the try the Quest for the Ring of Power, best spread over two days, 1-4 on day one and 5 / 6 on day two http://coord.info/GCYJTC http://coord.info/GCYJT8 http://coord.info/GCYJT4 http://coord.info/GCYJTK http://coord.info/GCYJRQ http://coord.info/GCYJRG Quote Link to comment
