Ally's weekend walk #1 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This cache has been archived.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 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:

A 35mm cannister will pencil and a log book. This is a series of 5 caches that can be done in a day walking around York.

Thje cache is located in the middle of a residential area so stealth is the key.

Also be aware that if the football club are playing the cache will be very busy!

The club was formed as an association football club in 1886 by railway employees of the York railway station and were one of the first clubs to be formed in the city. York RI began playing sport at its current New Lane site in 1926.

Success came first for the rugby section of the club who captured the Yorkshire Shield during the 1950s. However, by the 1970s, the football club had climbed up to the Yorkshire League system.

York RI gained promotion from the third to second Yorkshire League during 1978-79, by capturing the championship.[2] Two seasons later they gained promotion again, by finishing second in the league. While in that league York Railway Institute were facing off against clubs such as Emley F.C., North Ferriby United and Guiseley.

The Yorkshire League was brought to a close after 1982 and so York RI became founding members of the Northern Counties East Football League league, specifically NCE Division One North.

The league system was re-ordered once again for 1985 and York Railway Institute were placed into NCE Division Two. Their first season in this league was a successful one, they finished third and gained promotion. This began the club's highest point in their history; they spent six seasons in NCE Division One. The club even won the league during 1987-88 beating out the likes of Garforth Town but for unknown reasons they were not promoted.
