Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to my note 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]

Geocache Description:

a short walk on reclaimed land of a former slag heap and mineral line


Born in 672, St Bede spent most of his life in St Paul’s Monastery Jarrow. A mile west of the monastery is St Bede’s Well. The well was recognised from the time of Bede, as a place of great healing for children. This tradition continued until 1740. It has been said that on one Sunday, 20 children were brought together to be immersed in the well. A crooked pin was put in with each child, and the well was washed & dried out between each child.

The large hill is a slag heap from Palmer’s shipyard. Its’ construction meant that the underlying stream had to be diverted from its course, leaving the well dry.
