Sat-Six-Nine-O-Eight Part II 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This cache has been archived.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]

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

The cache is a small Clip-Seal container with a few small items to trade, a logbook and pencil. The cache is set alongside a public footpath within the Borough Woods Nature Reserve. It is a lovely walk if the weather is fine. You can follow the trail on towards Mitford where there are three other nearby caches.

Morpeth Herald Thursday, September 11th 2008

“WORST ON RECORD”

“Morpeth suffers its worst flooding since records began
Damage to property could run into tens of millions
Hundreds of residents are evacuated from their homes”

On Saturday, 6th September 2008, “More than a month’s rainfall hit Morepth in 24 hours causing the town’s biggest flood in recorded history.”

“The deluge hit more than 1000 homes across the town on Saturday, while about 400 were evacuated in an operation involving the Police, fire and ambulance crews, The RAF, RNLI and Environment Agency, as well as voluntary groups.

When the waters receded the following morning, the scale of the disaster became apparent, with the cost estimated to run into tens of millions of pounds.

No lives were lost and only a few minor injuries had been caused, but the River Wansbeck had shown its force, with personal belongings swept away, furniture ruined and homes covered in thick brown sludge.”

This cache is set as a reminder of the floods and the power that nature holds over our civilisation. There are still signs at the site of damage caused by the floodwaters, the most notable of which is the collapse of the weir at the Northumbrian Water pumping station.

If you park at the small parking area at the bridge, it is worth noting that the road where you stand was under water. There is still a large section of wall visible, near the roadside access to the footpath, that was shifted by the floodwaters.

Special thanks to the Northumberland County Council Countryside Officer for permission to use this site.
