Geocache Description:


This series of caches is the second stage of a planned 4 mile circular walk from High Bingley through Micklethwaite and East Morton, returning along the Leeds Liverpool Canal by the Five Rise Locks.
This stage consists of four caches of varying difficulty, some are obvious and some less .
This series follows on (and is numbered consecutive to) the original seven published in March 2013.  These are listed below:
In order of approach, the caches are;
  1. The Gatepost
  2. Old Style
  3. Cow View
  4. The Bends
  5. Poplar View
  6. Dino Tree – The Proctosaurus
  7. Weir’s this one
  8. Morton Bridge
  9. Micklethwaite Wharf
  10. ABC Harbour
  11. Ivy Tree
In addition, you can complete the walk by collecting 5 Rise Island, Gawthorpe Spa and Missing Link 1
There are refreshment opportunities in East Morton and at the café at Five Rise Locks.
Ample Parking is available along Lady Lane, and you should note that, although two of the caches are close to roads, these are NOT drive-bys as the roads are narrow and dangerous.
All the paths used are public rights of way.

You are looking for a magnetic sample tube.  Please ensure that any geocover is replaced.  And watch out for muggles!  This area is very popular at most times of day.  The difficulty rating chosen is to reflect this fact.
