#3 The Cheese Board-Stilton Traditional Cache
UGGY: Time for this series to go and free up some space for new hides. After almost 9 years most of the cheese has been nibbled and the rest has gone mouldy so no longer very appetising. Thanks to all who visited The Cheese Board.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

Series of 37 assorted straightforward caches around Thirsk, Sowerby and Carlton Miniott, loosely based on the contents of a cheese board.
A fairly easy 9 ish miles, starting and finishing at the railway station.
Full description at #1
The history of STILTON can be traced back to the early 18th century and although it is clear that the recipe used has changed quite dramatically over the years it remains one of the world's best known and much loved cheeses.
Quintessentially English, Stilton has its own Certification Trade Mark and is an EU Protected Food Name.
This means that:-
it can only be produced in the three Counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire
it must be made from locally produced milk that has been pasteurised before use
it can only be made in a cylindrical shape
it must be allowed to form its own coat or crust
it must never be pressed and
it must have the magical blue veins radiating from the centre of the cheese
Stilton's unique flavour makes it suitable not only for those special occasions when only the best will do , but also but for perking up everyday recipes and snacks. With its slightly open texture and creamy background it melts and crumbles easily and is one of the few cheeses that freezes well.
This would probably be accessable with an all-terrain buggy as the path between here and #6 is quite good but I wouldn't recommend using a very small wheeled stroller.
Between #2 and #3 you will pass very close to GC3MXJJ
