Curse of the FTF York # 8 – Garrowby Hill Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been disabled 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]

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:


The Curse Of The FTF York series was started by the roundtable with GC211KW Guidelines for this series are below:

1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, Curse of the FTF York # 9- ...) 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 cannot 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.

OPPOSITE THE CACHE SITE THERE IS A LAY-BY TO PARK IN BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO CROSS THE ROAD. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ROAD.

The cache is a very easy find. Bringing you here is more about the location, the views and what’s there.

Besides the cache, the other item before you was placed here in 1952 by the first Earl of Halifax in memory of King George VI and in spring of 2009 this large item was refurbished and replaced by the local sawmill.

Happy Hunting
