Geocache Description:


This short walk is accross the fields to a small foot bridge which goes over the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway.

I thought I would throw this one in as a bonus to those doing the Skipt 'un Scramble, which if you achieve all the objectives of this cache e.g. take a photo (see below) would make your day interesting on timing !

The objective is not only to find the micro cache, but if at all possible take a photograph of a steam train underneath the bridge.

Please see here for the full timetable. For those on the move the relevent telephone numbers are:-

Talking Timetable (01756) 795189 General Enquiries (01756) 710614

The bridge in question is one third of the way along the line from Embsay to Bolton Abbey Stations. This will help your timings. The walk is approx 5 minutes from the car.

PLEASE NOTE : It is not the requirement of this cache to see a train, just finding the cache will do, but lets try and get those photo's and be a proper geo-cacher

Please park by the barn and follow the public footpath sign accross the field, to the stile and along to the bridge. THERE IS NO NEED TO CLIMB WALLS

The log at the moment is slightly soggy and has been replaced with a peice of paper.. I will try and get out soon and replace.

In response to logs the container is one of the new geo-caching micro cylidrical containers, about 5cm tall and 1 cm wide
