Geocache Description:

This cache is the final 'secret' cache in the Where Spheres Intersect series situated in the Upper Wharfedale area.

The above co-ordinates are for a central location where you can park or get the bus to nearby Buckden.

Visit eight of the caches in the series to collect digits that form the grid reference for this ‘secret’ ninth cache.

Some caches in the series are family-friendly but others are more remotely located.


The caches are: WSI01: Fell Race; WSI02: Curves; WSI03: Lead (this one); WSI04: John Greenwood; WSI06: Hill Climb; WSI07: The Hagg; WSI08: The Song of Upper Wharfedale; WSI09a: Thomas Lindley and WSI10: Maze.

Visit eight of the caches in the series to collect digits that form the grid reference for a ‘secret’ ninth cache. Additionally, as you visit the caches you will be entitled to claim parts of a limited-edition artist’s book that will be completed by finding the ‘secret’ cache. Here’s what to do:

1) Visit each cache and log your visit in the usual way via geocaching.com

2) Make a note of the ‘secret’ cache digit and which WSI cache you found it at.

3) Claim your prizes. Send your cache experience (text and photo) and a postal address (to receive your prizes) to: WSISeries@smabs.co.uk

4) I will post your experiences to the WSI blog and keep track of your progress through the series.

5) On successfully visiting: WSI01, WSI02 and WSI04 you will receive the first sections of your book. WSI07 and WSI08 you will receive two more sections. WSI06, WSI09a and WSI10 you will receive three more sections. WSI03 (‘secret’ cache) you will receive the material to complete your book.

6) Using the digits found at each cache you will find the ‘secret’ cache at: SD [WSI01] [WSI04] [WSI04] [WSI07] [WSI06] [WSI02] [WSI08] [WSI09a] [WSI07] [WSI10]

All the caches are lock ‘n’ seal food storage boxes and have the ‘secret’ cache digit clearly shown on the inside front cover of the logbook and in the base of the box.

"The results appear contradictory, showing the Cupola to be about 3.6% more efficient but, owing to the haulage costs, 5.5% more expensive. If the latter charge had been identical, however, then the cupola would have produced lead at 1.95 per tonne, which was a considerable saving. Nevertheless, the difference in produce meant that the value of lead made at the Cupola outweighed the extra cost of making it there. The agents, therefore closed the Mill almost immediately concentrating all smelting at Grassington." From the Archsearch website

Please do not give away the secret cache co-ordinates in your log entries.

The WSI series takes its name from the way in which GPS technology locates you to a spot on the ground. The title also conveys the notion of fields of knowledge and interest overlapping that makes us who we are and helps shape the landscape we are in.
