Approach: Although you can take a shorter route from the Old dungeon Ghyll Hotel, this is not recommended, being a steep and arduous slog up slippy scree. Much better is to take the path from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel almost to the top of Pike O Stickle. An obvious scree gully lies just before the final summit cone. Make your way down this carefully. The cave appears on the right-hand side after about 80m of height loss.

Beneath the cave is a flat topped rock. The box is hidden in a crack in the rock.
The Axe Factory Cave. The box is to be found in the bottom-most rock |
