Kildanes Walk |

3 caches, 2.5 miles. Park at N 51� 59.674 W 001� 47.815 for the |
|
walk |
|
This walk is in an area that means a lot to me, and will forever |
|
be in my heart. There has been a series of caches along this |
|
route twice, and earlier this year we saw the demise of it (for |
|
good?). But I still wanted to share it, because the area is so |
|
special to me, and it is a nice walk. A couple of hills, mixed |
|
terrain but lovely views all around! You will pick up #9, #3 and |
|
#8, in that order, left from the second incarnation of the |
|
series. The whole route is well marked. |
|
The walk: |
|
Park at the above coords. Walk in an easterly direction towards |
|
the bridleway sign. Turn right, and follow the track up here |
|
enjoying the views over the valley. Turn right through the gate |
|
again, up the muddy track next to the wooded slopes. Step over |
|
the stile, and walk diagonally across the field to the next |
|
gate. Through there, and walk strait through the next field |
|
enjoying the views across the Kildanes valley. Turn right up the |
|
gate, and follow the track. Keep going on that track from now |
|
on, taking in the brilliant views on your left. After a couple |
|
of minutes, you'll have crossed through two fields and will be |
|
starting to descend downhill. There will be a gate on your |
|
right, turn in, and walk up the slope with the plantation now on |
|
your right. At the top, turn left through the next gate and |
|
follow the stone laid track. Go through the gate at the end of |
|
it, and into the barnyard towards the next gate. Cross that |
|
field (which could have horses or sheep in it) and follow that |
|
footpath through more plantation after, and down a sheer slope, |
|
where you will reach the road after hopping over the stile at |
|
the end. Turn right, and walk back towards the parking coords. |
|
A nice little walk ;D |
