Marske Woods (Errington Woods) 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This cache has been archived.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 repaired it 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:


Errington woods can be traced back to 1773 when the Errington family first planted the hillside with trees as a cash crop. In addition to tree management the site must be remembered for its rich industrial heritage. Men lived and died in the "Upleatham Mines" for almost 100 years to feed the furnaces of Teesside, the output being so intense that it soon became the second largest complex in Europe, its hard to imagine today the tubs of iron ore trundling up and down the hillside.
The woodland is now owned by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council whose management objectives are firmly based on improving the biodiversity of the wood and maintaining its amenity values. The wood gets used a lot by the local muggles in the area, from horse riding, MTB riding, orienteering, and dog walking.
Access to the woods can be gained from at least 5 parking locations, but the easiest and shortest route to this cache is at Upleatham Village (NZ631 194). The terrain rating for the cache is for the most difficult route and at times the woods can be very muddy.... you've been warned!!!

The cache is placed just off a main bridleway so beware of the muggles riding past.

The contents of this cache are: Logbook, FTF Prize, Dalek keyring, Gold Token, Breast Cancer Pin, Toy Figure, Map Measure, Pokemon Figure, Rubber, "Zebadee" Pencil Topper, Torch, Hair Scrunchy, Leather Keyring, Card Light, Hematite Braclet.
Happy Hunting....
