Should have been easy, but not one but TWO cars were parked right in the way of the cache… and one of them was being unloaded by it’s owners at the time! I stood around with my bike, looking like a wally, until they went away, and then squeezed past to find the cache. TFTC.

I love this park in the summertime, but in the depths of a wet winter it was more than a little difficult to get to the cache, and involved wading through ankle-deep water in the swampy area around the cache! Persevered, though, and found it in the end! TFTC.

Excellent cache! One of my favourites of the day’s hunt: and I was so glad I wore laced shoes, as you suggest, because that made all the difference when it came to retrieving and replacing this fabulous little cache. Log was full – couldn’t find space to write – so I’ve instead taken a picture of this imaginative little cache (warning: photo contains minor spoilers about what you’re looking for).

Found without lid nor magnets, soaking wet, buried in pile of leaves: this one’s a goner. I’m removing the cache and I’ll arrange to get it back to it’s owner as soon as possible, but until then this cache should be considered absent!

Like the previous visitor, I parked my bike up on the “wrong” side of the steam, but thankfully I was able to hop across without too much difficulty and find this little cache.

The goddesses of the satellites were with me! On this, my second cache of the day (and many of the others I found today), my GPSr took me right up to within a metre of the cache!

Far too muddy, I guess: couldn’t even get close! Will try again another time.

I can’t decipher the numbers! I’ve come up with values for B and C which are too low to be able to deduct some of the values that the formula requires me to… maybe there’s something I’m missing…

This cache has been removed as it is no longer intact (lid and magnet missing, camouflage fallen off). Photo included. I’ll arrange to deliver this to the owner so that it can be repaired and replaced, hopefully.

Visited with pacifist_049 and first-timer Andrewsean85 on 2nd Jan, but only remembered to get around to logging it twenty days later! A nice little find made a little too-easy by bumping into another group of cachers who were there just before us (no log from them, though, whoever they were…) TFTC.

Fantastic cache! pacifist049 and I took a look this morning as we happened to be in Preston. A match was due to start this afternoon so we wanted to make sure we were done before then! It took us quite a bit of puzzling to work out what we needed to do, and where, and a few failures in the co-ordinate calculation initially suggested that we were looking for a cache about 8 kilometres away!
Eventually though, we prevailed: once we knew where we were headed it was easy – and the clue makes perfect sense once you’re in the right area! Thanks again for an amazing cache; my first of 2011!

Paced up and down the street quite a few times before we found this beautifully-hidden cache. Then had to stand around looking like lost tourists while we waited for the area to clear so we could grab it without attracting suspicion!
TFTC: my first in a long while!

Found it immediately by thinking “yeah, that’s where I’d put the cache” and the co-ordinates were spot on. But I still had to be quite sneaky while my co-cacher provided cover in order to get this one.
Log needs archiving. Somebody’s added an extra roll of paper stuffed into the tiny cannister but it’s challenging to get both rolls back in afterwards: the old one should be removed and filed away somewhere.
Great cache!

Co-ordinates seem to point to the wrong side of the street (based on the clue), but even armed with the clue and the logs of those people who eventually found it on their second or third attempt, we couldn’t get this one despite an extended search. Based on the frequency of DNFs, I’d suggest that 1.5 isn’t a high enough difficulty for this evidently-well-hidden cache!

A few pints in pacifist049 and I, and stumbling around in the dark, we were still able to find this little cache on the way back from the pub. Nice hide! TFTC
