This time it’s over the hill towards Glossop, and the emaill is addressed to Pennine (!) but:
“I was somewhat inspired by the whole Dark Peak Calendar box thing a couple of years back, and at the back end of last year, started something called the Glossopdale Goodie box.
It lasted for about 2 months before work and study got the better of me, and lay in a hole in a rock for 6 months before being rescued, re-supplied and put in a different location.
I noticed that there were a few people from GDH that visited, and I thought it might be nice to give Pennine the clue, such as it is, and give you the chance to have an excuse to run over moorland and generally enjoy yourselves.
As if you need the excuse.
The box was put out yesterday, will be there for approximately a month, whereupon I will retrieve it and put it in another location. The idea is that it will always be within a 2-3 hour round trip from Glossop, and in places that generally aren’t necessarily exactly where people tend to go on normal routes.
I left a load of small packets of Haribo, 2 small pots of Lynnes home made blackberry jelly, a notepad and a pen in it. (in the past there has been homemade flapjack and tiffin, but I didn’t have a chance to make it this time).
Itd be lovely to have some Pennine names pop up in the notebook, so if you’re interested please let them know.
The box is hidden under a duckbilled platypus stone, just below lucys coat of arms giving a fine view of mutleys face
Its not all that cryptic, but Im rubbish at thinking up clues that arent so massively esoteric that they are inpenetrable.
Good hunting.
