Blue Midget Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

Microcache - in 35mm Film Cannister.

Redburn Dene/Chirton Dene
Two new public parks have been created on brownfield land in a formerly derelict and deprived area in North Shields as part of the much larger Royal Quays regeneration project.

Chirton Dene and Redburn Dene are sited near a busy ferry port and a new Marina, and add distinctive character and substantial amenity value to the wider regeneration scheme.
The park is lushly traditional at first sight, but closer examination reveals exciting and innovative elements, which interject art and poetry into its design.

The other incorporates significant memories of the industrial past of both site and area into its landscape design and materials, and its minimal design can be interpreted as symbolic of the loss of traditional industries in the area.

Within a stone's throw of the Meadow Well estate, notorious during the 1990s for its deprivation and riots, the parks offer quiet spaces for residents of the new houses surrounding them to enjoy their prize winning qualities in a variety of ways.

The following are attractions nearby:

Royal Quays Marina

Newly built around the historic Albert Edward Dock, Royal Quays Marina is now regarded as the premier boating facility in the North of England.
Situated close to the entrance of the River Tyne, the marina is ideally placed for access to the open sea and for cruising in the sheltered waters of the River Tyne. It is quick and easy to reach from all parts of the region and from further afield.
