    Question The Lake District

    Who are the best cache hiders in the Lakes ?

    and

    What are the best caches in the Lake district

    and

    Are there any bookmark lists for the Lake district

    and

    is it coverd by a local forum ?

    We usually filter out anything with less than 2 terrain so if there is something outstanding at 1 or 1.5 let me know.

    D5 T5 not a problem

    Cheers folks

    Did the lake District last year around Derwent Water (Keswick). There were some excellent caches around there, providing fantastic views.
    Happy Caching

    I'm sure you'd enjoy doing St Herbert's Island. The Golem (the cache owner) very kindly brought his own canoe and he and his two children came with us - it was our 250th find.

    It was well worth stopping off at Surprise View on the way to Watendlath Tarn - don't miss out on the flapjack at the small tearoom there.

    Castlerigg Stone Circle is worth a look (if you're interested in such things) and we also enjoyed the walk to Scale Force.

    Mirror Image and George Hodgson are both interesting Virtuals.

    The Smileys seem to have quite a few caches around the area and the ones we did were enjoyable.

    Something like that

    Ahh the fellsmanhiker caches does anyone know why over 90% of his caches are members only ?

    i can see from there history that they change from MO to open to MO occasionally and being such high terrain its unusual to see that many set MO ..??

    Yes LOR is on the list as we are staying on the coast side of the lakes this year.

    If you can work out which ones they are, the caches set by Mickledore are worth chasing. E.g. Rose H. Kershaw.
    The virtual "George Hodgson" mentioned above is one of them, and although I tend to ignore virtuals I was pleased that I did this one so it's worth you making an exception.

    The Ring Of Power caches (https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks...1-6fe04651c66e) are obviously a must-do; I did the original version several years ago when it was a single multi and it's right up your street.
    However, you really need look no further than Fellsmanhiker if you want decent caches in the best locations with great walks.
