Swift Nicks - Stand and Deliver 2 - "The Noose" Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance 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]

Geocache Description:

Come all raise your glasses and drink to Swift Nick,
A highwayman known to be handsome and quick.
A man who could outwit the young and the old,
But ended his days on the gallows, we’re told.

This is the second in the series of geocaches dedicated to the life and history of Britain’s highwaymen. It is located in a lovely quiet place that I am sure Swift Nick would have made use of.

The Geocache is a large clip box container inside a bag with camouflage covering. It contains a logbook & pen. There is also plenty of space for TB's, geocoins and any loot you may want to swap.

Can you find Swift Nicks next Cache in Brierley?

John "Swift Nick" Nevison was one of Britain’s most flamboyant highwaymen, a man whose exploits earned him praise from even King Charles II. He had a reputation for not using violence against his victims, most of whom he and his gang attacked along a stretch of the Great North Road between Huntingdon and York.

There is a legend that the highwayman Nevison had hideouts for his loot in Yorkshire. Some of these places were in and around Brierley. He hid many of his hordes in trees around the area.
