Keswick

The second day of our long weekend near Penrith and we headed into Keswick for the day.

On our way into Keswick we took a slight detour to look for the Mosedale Bridge cache. As it's name suggests this is located at a bridge but it's nothing that special. The coordinates appeared to be wrong for this one but the kids eventually found it.

Reaching Keswick we stopped at a small shop and petrol station to have a look for Post Haste - Keswick which looked to be just across the road. After going to investigate and finding nothing I heard voices above me and looking up realised that the railway bridge I was under was in fact a footpath. Working out how to get up there we went for a look and we soon had the cache despite a constant stream of muggles.

Next we took the kids to the Pencil Museum. You'd think the kids would be bored at a museum all about pencils but this is a great wee place and the kids loved it. An added bonus was that there's a cache right outside, Cumberland Pencil Museum.

Finally, after a walk around town we wandered up to a church to look for Walpoles Gravestone - The Herries Chronicles which is a puzzle cache. Using details from the gravestone next to the one mentioned in the title (clever!) we worked out the correct coordinates and went in search of the cache. The coordinates seemed a little out, but despite no GPS under the tree cover Mrs SC soon had the cache with the help of the kids.
