Geocache Description:

This series of caches has been designed as a geo-walk in the beautiful countryside around the Derbyshire villages of Repton, Milton and Foremarke, with some stunning views of the far off Derbyshire Dales and the city of Derby.

A small amount of parking is available at the start of the series on Springfield Road, but please be respectful of the local residents.


This is the eleventh cache of 12 in a walk of just over 5 miles.

What you do for one geokid, you have to do for the other.

A second letterbox hybrid. Please do not remove the stamp from the cache but feel free to use it and leave your own stamp/picture in the log book.

Please recover well

It is fairly long walk with some slight inclines, so some caches have a slightly higher terrain rating but this does not mean any of the caches are particularly difficult to find. Doing the walk in the correct order will ensure you have stunning views across towards the hills of the Peak District as you walk from number 7 onwards.

Stealth is required for some of the caches in this series. Please ensure all caches are re-hidden well so as not to be of interest to passing muggles.

Please be aware that some of the footpaths cross farmland where livestock may be grazing, so dogs may need to be on a lead.

The cache sizes range from nano to regular and all are placed on public footpaths. One or two of the caches are a bit sneaky, just to keep you on your toes, but most are fairly easy to find.

Good boots/wellies are a good idea especially after bad weather as some of the paths can get quite muddy and wet in places. An Ordnance Survey Map would also be useful for this walk. A pair of tweezers and a pen would be helpful for some of the caches.

It is worth noting that there are also other caches in the area which may be of interest.

 

DIRECTIONS

After number 10 follow the track to the main road, near the main road take the small lane that runs off to the right (opposite the bungalow) and cross the road near to the grass triangle, watch little ones and geohounds here. Walk up the lane keeping the large house with the stone wall on your right. Follow your GPS to the cache.
