Witton Weavers Way - Beamers Trail



Yesterday was the first attempt at the new Legend Series of Letterbox Hybrid Caches. Mongoose39Uk aka Tony had posted on the NW Caching forum on Monday night to see if anyone was up for a walk on the Beamers Trail. This takes you to the very north of the series, apart from a small number of caches on the Houghton Section. Meeting at 9:30 at Witton Country Park we headed in an anti-clockwise direction. Passing some ground workers that were constructing a new play area and carving animals into old trees it was uphill out of the park and into the country side. Going of the logs we were following Grandad John and 1Gromit along the trail until we got to Riverside Ruins and the log had not been signed by them. It turns out that they had gone off to grab some of the Houghton Section Caches and we passed them coming back to get this one meaning that they were now following us. The walk was 8.8 miles long and took 3 hours moving and 2.5 hours stopped, most of this talking. Now the big question is have i got the Legend bug, just spent the last half hour looking at the next stage but have decided to stay local has its work tonight.
