This cache has been archived.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 responded to my note I am archiving it.

Guidelines:**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.**

Geocache Description:


 
Chipmunk Information - geocaching.easingwold.info
 


Twenty one major repairs or widenings were carried out in the seventeenth century alone. In 1785 it was widened by John Carr and was again reconstructed in 1969. Major improvements were made to the Ure in the later eighteenth century, including the construction of Milby Cut, which, together with the Ripon Canal, extended the limit of navigation from Boroughbridge to Ripon, and water transport remained an important industry in Boroughbridge until the coming of the railways.
