this is a small clip lock box. from Wharton chapel follow the path when you get to the sharp right hand turn there is a gap in the fence, go through it there is a track on top of the mound follow the line of the path when you get to the second gap in the fence cross back through and you will be at GZ. If you are going the other way around follow the instructions but in reverse. terrain will vary from 4-2 depending on time of year. This cache meets urban cache guidelines.
this is part of a series of caches circling Walkden and Little Hulton, the hole walk will take approx 3-4 hours. some are very easy to find, some not so easy and some have cryptic clues, rather than "base of tree" etc, you will need at least 1.5 lt of water and some tweezers and a pen pencil to get/log all of the caches.
the average terrain rating is 3-4, you could probably get round the whole thing on a mountain bike, but would have to get of and walk in a couple of places, when we placed the caches there were also some areas which were quite thick with brambles etc so we have increased the terrain rating in these places, I would not recommend doing them alone a night although all areas are accessible 24 hrs.There are a couple of styles to get over at one end of the loop but we have tried to avoid them. Part of the circuit also passes the edge of an open cast coal mine which is currently being turned into a country park. I have not entered a parking place, you could probably start from most of the caches and they all have parking fairly close by. Happy caching we hope you enjoy.
