[UPDATE: Sadly this cache has been vandalised and the
contents thrown into Cock Beck! Many thanks to The RockKnocker for
salvaging the log book and container and to mikicos for
camouflaging it again! This is a cache that refuses to die!!
Due to the empty beer cans (and fact that someone did a poo near
the cache!) we have decided to relocate it to a completely new
location further upstream from its original location of N 53 52.080
W001 16.043.
Why not have a quiet drink in The Crooked Billet or visit St
Mary’s Church. There are also several other caches close by
to find.]
Legend has it that in the aftermath of the Battle of Towton
remnants of the Lancastrian forces fleeing the victorious Yorkists
were forced to try to cross Cock Beck. The ensuing massacre is said
to have been so ferocious that the beck ran red with blood for
several days afterwards. To learn more about the history of the
Battle of Towton why not visit the nearby virtual cache When??? (GC9922).
A big thank you must go to mikicos who not only made the cache
container himself but was also kind enough to fill it with some
goodies! This cache is also the starting point for two new TBs: The
The House of York (TB3MRB2) and The House of Lancaster (TB40A4X) who are
competing to see which can travel the furthest distance - A modern
day War of the Roses!
