Geocache Description:


This cache is going to be archived on Monday 10th August

We are archiving all of our 100+ Yorkshire caches.
We'd love you to come and find any caches you can before that date.

Although we encourage you to take as much swag as possible before the caches disappear, please do NOT take the cache itself. Cachers are still trying to find our caches and, once we archive them, we're hoping to bring them in ourselves.

This cache located in the corner of a busy pay and display carpark.
It should be easily located hanging about on the large corner post. Please replace carefully so that it can't be seen by muggles. Also, don't give the unique aspect of the cache away in either your logs or photos. We'd like everyone to get a surprise when they find the cache.

Even today, the small village of Runswick is the home of many avid fishermen. Runswick bay is still a great place for sea anglers to try their hand at winter cod fishing. The various cracks and gullies leading to the sea are the best spots for anglers. It is a very easy mark to access, and if word gets out that the area is fishing well, you will need to get there early to reserve your spot. There are times when this stretch of coast resembles the golden mile at Blackpool.

But of course, none of this compares to the days of yesteryear when nearly every man in the village was a fisherman who would follow in his father's footsteps to work the hard seas in the family coble. In those days the primary fish caught was herring. In 1840 there was a fleet of 20 boats. These fish were preserved in shacks located where the lower car parks now stand.
