GCRRA0 Welcome to Harrogate Multi-cache (Multi-cache) in Yorkshire, United Kingdom created by zelger + Harrogate Hunters + Yanks in Yorkshire

This cache has been archived.

harrogate hunters: At any one point in time one of the series keeps going missing and due to the fact this was not my placement in the first place and I was not passed on details of the landowner I have made the decision to archive the cache series.

The cache series has also become a "drive by series" with people not interested in the series and just finding the individual caches. The last time the final was found was JULY 2010 !!!

Please feel free if you wish to replace this series

Geocache Description:

The final cache is not at the above location, although you will have to visit this location for one of the clues.

What was once a collection of villages to the west of the established town of Knaresborough grew into the fashionable spa town of Harrogate in Victorian times. Harrogate's popularity as a spa town, with many visitors taking in its medicinal waters, meant that a lot of "hydro" hotels were established. In the last few decades Harrogate has kept many of those Victorian hotels filled with business people attending exhibitions and conferences instead. Harrogate has also expanded as a commuter town for the industrial and commercial centres of West Yorkshire, predominantly Leeds.

Harrogate has several roads leading into it, a number of which offer a Welcome to Harrogate. You will have to visit microcaches which have been placed around these four locations on roads leading into the town to collect the code letters for the final location:

You will find a number and a corresponding code letter (A, B, C, D) in each of the above micro caches. Code letter E is the number of white collars at the above co-ordinates (this point is midway between the old "stone wall" boundary markers which were removed in March 2006).

The final cache container can be found at N 53° 5C.ABE' W 001° 3D.BEE'

This cache series is a collaborative effort between team zelger who placed the cache, Harrogate Hunters who suggested having a Welcome to Harrogate multicache, and Yanks in Yorkshire who originally created the Welcome to Harrogate theme.
