Monsal Trail

[+Stokiecachers]

Hi everyone - we plan to walk some of the Monsal trail and will be camping nearby during the first weekend of the school summer holidays.

 

Has anyone walked and 'cached it at the same time? Any recommendations of 'caches to find? Some parts better than others?

 

I've read the website about it but, as a keen geocacher and often rely on the advice of others, I'm throwing it open to you guys for advice of which parts to concentrate, where to start, etc?

 

(One website being http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/monsaltrail.php)

 

There will be three of the 'hanleycachers' crew walking - me, wife Dawn and daughter Lucy.

 

Thanks in advance.

Cycled the trail yesterday having looked at the caching map the day before. Seems like there are quite a few caches, particularly on the Bakewell end.

Because we got on the trail at Hassop, and the smartphone kept saying the caches were off the trail, instead of on it, we only found 1 cache, Magic of Monsal.
