This cache near Pharos Lighthouse was designed and constructed in conjunction with the much shorter (34 feet) Lower Lighthouse which stands on Fleetwood sea front. The lighthouses are designed to be used as a pair to guide shipping through the treacherous sandbanks of the Wyre estuary. The light from the Pharos should be kept immediately above the light from the Lower for safe passage down the channel. Both lighthouses were first illuminated on 1 December 1840.
Just a short walk from the Lighthouse lies a small magnetic nano cache containing only a log book so you will need to take a pen or pencil. It is completely wheel chair accessible and much stealth is needed from the local residents in the area. It is best grabbed early morning or in the evening. When you see it, it is reccommended to grab the cache, walk a short distance away and then sign the log before returning to replace it in exactly the same location. Congrats to ivor.caravan for being the FTF.
