A Gaping Ghyll Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

silver01fox: Time to put this one to bed i think
cache box has been replaced twice in past and now the Ammo box has disappeared too.Shame
Gaping #ghyll has now been made into an earth cache so should still be fun to visit and a few new ones in area too.But twice or three times a year we have a camp nearby for the chair lift and lots of muggles about at that time.
Sorry to disaappoint.
But time to move on also
If any one finds the Ammo box please let me know
Also the ammo box of Sleepy hollow was taken too so if you find that then please also let me know
thanks

Geocache Description:

This is a moderate walk of about a 5 miles return from the car park in Clapham. If you go through Ingleborough Woods you are required to pay 60p each, but this gives you the option to visit Ingleborough Caves (at additional cost of £4.50).The cache is an ammo box containing the usual sort of things.

Fell Beck is like any other Yorkshire stream until it enters the Gaping Ghyll pothole in the shadow of Ingleborough. The vertical drop of 110m makes it Britain’s highest unbroken waterfall, and the cavern into which it falls is bigger than York Minster.A network of tunnels lead off from the main chamber, and the stream eventually reappears as Clapham Beck at Beck Head Cave a short distance from the main entrance of Ingleborough Cave near Clapham. Gaping Ghyll was first descended in 1895; the way through to the outlet passage was eventually discovered in 1983. The more adventurous can descend into Gaping Ghyll during the Bank Holidays.
