GC55FYN Junction Ramble #04 Mind your weight (Traditional Cache) in Yorkshire, United Kingdom created by YorksRicknSue

This cache has been archived.

YorksRicknSue: This cache is being archived because the farmer of adjacent land was getting upset about walkers losing their way and trespassing on his ground. He has also been upset by walkers letting their dogs run loose. Consequently he has driven out from his farm to challenge several geocachers searching for this hide.
It thus seems prudent, on the grounds of good relationships, to remove this cache and replace it with one well away from this farm.
The replacement cache, "Just Hanging About", is now up and running and appears later in the series, near to Bolton Percy.

Geocache Description:

Junction Ramble is a walk of approximately 8 miles centred around a piece of track beloved by railway buffs. Colton Junction is where trains have to decide whether to plough on between London and Edinburgh, along the East Coast Mainline, or branch West on the Trans-Pennine route through Leeds and Manchester to Liverpool. The bridges near the junction are often crowed with enthusiasts especially for a steam special.

Full details are given in Junction Ramble #01 and the Bonus

TEMPORARILY DISABLED DUE TO THE ADJACENT LANDOWNER OBJECTING TO GEOCACHERS STRAYING ONTO HIS LAND AND LETTING THEIR DOGS RUN LOOSE. IT WILL BE RELOCATED ASAP. #04 of the Junction Ramble Series. This walk is not only adjacent to an important railway junction, it is also sandwiched inside a hydrological junction.

To the West the river Wharfe is nearing its long journey from the Yorkshire Dales. To the East the river Ouse has passed York and is becoming tidal. The two will soon join not far from here. This means the whole area around us is one giant flood plain, which is why the land is criss-crossed with drainage ditches.

Please take care with this cache; care that you do not fall yourself and care that you do not drop the container.
