Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the stated co-ordinates but behind the western most fence post to the east of the gate at co-ordinates N54 12.(B-C-D)(A)(B-C) W001 09.(B-D-C)C(C+D-A)


Wass, formerly "Byland with Wass" is a village in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire. A short distance from the village lie the ruins of Byland Abbey. Despite the small size of the village (population c.100) there is a pub, The Stapylton Arms, (formerly The Wombwell Arms). The village nestles at the foot of Wass Bank and has beautiful views of the surrounding countyside.

At the stated co-ordinates is bench with a date ABCD and close by is a K6 which after BT removed the payphone was used a home for a defibrillator for a couple of years. The future of the quintessential piece of British village furniture at this location is uncertain as the defibrillator is now on the north wall of the pub.

The cache can be located at N54 12.(B-C-D)(A)(B-C) W001 09.(B-D-C)C(C+D-A)

The container has a log sheet but no pen. If you feel inclined, then feel free to write your log with an alphabet theme eg W s also for.... or in any other alphabetic sense that inspires you.
