La Lunatica: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This is the first part of a circular walk starting in Stoney Middleton, visiting some historic and interesting sights along the way and then ending up pretty much where you started from. There are nine caches in all to keep you busy over a 4ish mile walk. Some of the caches could be cache and dashes, but you wouldn't be doing youselves any favours by not taking in the walk - think about your health (and the environment) and go for it :o)!!!!



Try to park up in the village if possible, but please park consideratley, you'll be gone for a couple of hours remember!

This first cache is at the Roman Baths, although there is no evidence that the romans ever used these baths there has been roman coins found here. There is a plaque at the site that tells you all about them.

Once you have (hopefully) found the cache plug in the co-ords for part 2 then continue up the lane where the road bends left, go through a gate stile and continue stright ahead then through an open field heading towards a track that climbs up between gorse bushes. Look out for the really friendly fluffy cows en-route, they certainly made us smile! Cross a style and head diagonally for the metal gate to the left of the farm buildings, go through this gate and you should be nearly at the next cache - good luck!
