Geocache Description:

The cache is located between the original Whitby - Pickering line (built 1836) and the new and still extant 1865 new deviation line from just south of Grosmont Tunnel to just south of the cache location.

Once you have found the cache you may be fortunate to view a train operating on the nearby heritage railway. Grosmont/Whitby bound trains normally pass this location approximate 5 minutes before arriving at nearby Goathland, Pickering bound trains pass approx. 5 minutes after departing Goathland. The timetable is available by visiting the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) webpage.

 

 

The Curse Of The FTF York series was started by the roundtable with GC211KW

This type of challenge is no longer approved by Groundpeak Inc, but for those that are interested in what the guidelines for this series were they are shown below:

1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, Curse of the FTF York #5 - ...) within 1 month. Please note only the FTF'er should place the next cache and not every time someone finds the cache.

2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along. (This is at least till everyone has had ago at FTF who wants to)

3. Cache can be any size or type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.),but I do ask that you set it in the York (YO postcode) area and if it is a puzzle then it can not be too hard, as it should be easy enough for everyone to find.

4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series I will be happy to answer any questions concerning the guidelines or about the placing of caches to those who have not placed a cache before.

By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find. But if you don't intend to carry on the series please do not FTF and leave it for someone else.

If you link back to GC211KW others can see the complete role of honour
