Town: Whitby

This was the final of 5 finds in one day at Whitby.

This cache is hidden at the Whitby Pavilion, and the hide is ingenious.
Not only do you have to find the cache but then you have to work out how to get to it.
We had to use a chip fork of all things to prize it out of it's hiding hole.
A brilliant cache in a wonderful town, and a great day of our holiday.

Date found 20/08/09.

Town: Whitby

This was the first of 5 finds in one day at Whitby.
Whitby is a very beautiful fishing town, steeped in History, as it was the home of James Cook and the inspiration for Dracula.

This First cache near the statue of Captain Cook gives a beautiful view over the busy Whitby harbour and also over the town itself.

Even the rain couldn't spoil the view.
