This small series of caches takes you on a loop of about 3.5 miles between Grindsbrook Booth (Edale itself), Upper Booth and Barber Booth. Parking is available in the village, and there are waypoints showing this on the first cache in the series. Most of the cache containers are either small clip-boxes or micro tube style containers. None of them have pens in, so you will need to bring your own.
None of the caches are in dry stone walls, so please do not look in any.
While you're walking around the loop, don't forget to look around you. This series is set in a beautiful valley, and the views alone are well worth the walk. It would be great to see photos on the logs! If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, there are a couple of my 'Oh Noe' mini-series set very close to the route of this series.
History
Following enclosure, access to the moors had been much restricted by landlords and gamekeepers. However, this gradually crumbled under the relentless pressure of people wanting to walk across the open spaces of the hills around the Edale Valley.
These days, the ‘right to roam’ is clearly established on Kinder and the surrounding hills, under the stewardship of the National Trust and the Peak District National Park.
The Cache
The cache is placed very close to the fence here, hidden behind the trees you can see from the trail. You do not need to go over the fence to get to it.
Please be careful with this container and replace as you found it, with the top properly on. You'll need your own pen, as there isn't one in the cache, and you do need to sign the log to claim a find.
