The Waste Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been disabled for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs or logged into geocaching.com for some time 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:


Park at the bottom of the footpath, above the 'Passing Place', or on the open ground at the crossroads. Parking at the top of the footpath on the soft grass verge is not advisable. Many a vehicle gets stuck there.

Stealth is required as this is a popular bridleway.

The footpath has recently been cleared (July 2008) and GPS reception has improved.

The Waist is privately owned common land, and once was
a fairly busy limestone quarry and lime producing site. The lime kiln is situated at the crossroads. Apparently the county council buried it under tons of soil 30 or 40 years ago. The coal for the kiln was carted in from the Durham coalfields. This was cheaper than taking the limestone to the coal as the lime making process used 3 to 4 times more weight of limestone than coal.
