Step into Pennington - The Towpath Trail


This was the third cache today and after a DNF at the previous cache we needed cheering up with an easy find here. It was not to be.

It was only a short walk from the last location and the clue was very obvious. It was located at the top of some steps that lead down to one of the trails around Pennington Flash. We quickly found the place the cache should have been and I nearly cut my fingers on some glass that seemed to have taken its place. I do hope that this is not wanton vandalism and that the cache has not been deliberately removed and glass put in its place. I live in hope.

Anyway, the cache was definitely not where it should have been and this will be another one we e-mail the owner about a maintenance check.

Nevermind, onwards to the next cache location - we really do need a find here. The walk along this section of the Leeds - Liverpool Canal is particularly pleasing here, with excellent views of Pennington Flash from a viewpoint we don't normally see. This made up for the disappointment of not finding the previous cache and our spirits improved as we made our way along the towpath.
