The walk takes you out along good paths under High Rigg and the return journey travels below Brackenriggs, hence to the name. After completing No. 5 your journey entails walking along the grass verge of the busy main road to UTR 6 and after that travelling through bracken which in summer time (July & August in particular), will be high.
Suggested Park & Start is at the Lay-by at Rough How Bridge just off the A591, (N54 34.571 W003 05.032). Although there is a sign stating that parking is limited to 2 hours. I have spoken to the Customer Service Advisors at Allerdale Borough Council, who state the sign is to deter overnight parking, and for our purposes there should be no problem.
I would also suggest that you take a pen/pencil with you and a pair of tweezers or similar would probably help.
I would like to thank the local farmers and landowner for their kind permission in allowing these caches to be placed on their land. All they have asked is that there is no climbing over or damaged caused to any walls or fences. ENJOY........ After passing through the gate, bear right at large tree facing you and you are away. A nice easy one to start with, a reasonably sized box with ample room for trackables.
Enjoy your walk.
IF ANYONE LOOKS FOR THIS SERIES OF CACHES BEFORE 10.09.18 WILL THEY PLEASE REMOVE ANY TRACKABLES THAT ARE THERE AND HELP THEM ON THEIR JOURNEYS, AS FROM THAT DATE THE FOOTPATH ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE MAIN ROAD WILL BE CLOSED BY THE LAKE DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHILST CONSTRUCTION WORK TAKES PLACE. TREE FELLING IS ALSO TAKING PLACE NEAR THE END OF THE WALK ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WILL THEREFORE BE DISABLING OR ARCHIVING THE SERIES VERY SHORTLY.
