Geocache Description:


Skeg to Ness

193miles & 207 drive by caches

by the

Coast 2 Coast Cachers.

This fantastic series of 207 drive-by caches follows the 193 mile route from sunny Skegness, Lincolnshire to Ness in the Wirral on the West Coast of England. Running through the Lincolnshire Wolds & Fens and over the River Trent into Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood and his band of merry men.

Here we navigate around pretty villages and up into The Peak District National Park. You will travel over some of the highest Peaks in Derbyshire, passing close to the Cat & Fiddle Public House, where you can enjoy superb views (on a clear day) looking toward Staffordshire and even Wales .

Enjoy the wonderful heather covered Peaks before dropping down into Cheshire. You will pass by Northwich Salt Mine and onto Delmere Forest Park. From here a few twists and turns to your route, will take you northwest into the Wirral to find the last cache in the series at Ness.

Coast 2 Coast cachers hope you enjoy their series. At the time of setting, this is the longest and largest series in the UK. For your assistance a bookmark has been added with all the caches attached for ease of planning. However, below is a list of the cacher's in order from start (east coast) to the finish (west coast), so you can plan your own adventure if you wish to do any one piece at a time. Good luck, and enjoy beautiful England.

Souvenir above to add to your profile on completing the whole series.
