I set off out of Rochdale up Rooley Moor Road, i have been up this road many times but never followed it right to the end.... not suprised really...cos walking it seems there isn't one!!! looking at it on Google earth give the impression its a well maintained road that is possible accessible by car... well 4x4 off roader maybe.
So i was walking up this road leading into the hills for over an hour, all uphill! as i got to the entrance to the old Diggle Quarry, this was the location of my first Cache found with no problem. I then made my way over the hills collecting a few more caches
I then reached a cache are hidden in the hills, and reading recent logs by fellow Geocachers i knew it would be hard to find
the clue was "I lie under in a small gap in the rocks, above me is a 'hammer' shaped slab, which lies below a fallen monolith with a surface like the beach."
Well i looked for ages... i was about to give up and from the following picture you can see why....
Under the X was what i was looking for :)
So on i went over the hills and far away... i decided to detour and check on the little Lamb from last week, as i was walking i was wondering how i would recognise the little fella. I just thought well as long as i don't see any dead ones and all the little lambs with mums ill be happy :)
As i approached over an hill, i noticed a sheep that appeared to be stuck against a fence, it was a fair way off so couldn't see what the problem was.
I upped my pace and tried to get to it, it was up a very steep hill... i climbed up in the heat ...sweat dripping off me! i could see the sheep now, slumped forward with its feet on the other side of the fence.... i had to free it! i climbed as fast as i could, it was all in vain thought as i realised the sheep was already dead :(
