Glad to hear you found it, cardi88, and that it’s still there (after getting a series of DNFs, I was worried it might have been plundered!). Maybe I should step the difficulty up by a half-star.

I got a call from reaperfish this evening, who had come out looking for this cache but had some problems finding it. We worked together: me from my desk with maps, photos, and the cache description, and him in the field (literally) to find this cache, and he insisted that he be allowed to write my username in the log, too. So here I am. Not sure I deserve the credit for this, but TFTC: I hope to see it “in person” someday (after all, I now know the area like the back of reaperfish’s hand)!

Thanks for a fun evening, everybody! Sorry I had to dash so early – hope you all kept the party going and had a brilliant time.
Was great to meet so many of the local caching crew, up until now who I’d only known by their usernames on the logs.

Have a few travel bugs I’ll be bringing along…

I was just on an Easter Egg hunt up in the woods, when pacifist_049 (who was hiding my egg) gave me the clue that my egg was hidden “near Barking Up The Wrong Tree”, so obviously the best way to find my hidden egg ws to pull out my GPSr and first find this wonderful, devious little cache. TFTC.

Came up here for a walk and, while on the way, thought I’d check if the cache (which I failed to find after it’s recent muggling) had been replaced. It had! I checked in the “obvious place”, which I’m guessing is where it used to live, and then a brief search later, found it. TFTC.

I, too, had thought on ocassion about putting a cache here, but changed my mind after seeing what the weather can be like. Took a look today, no luck. Sbhaq n zntarg, ohg ab pnpur.

Found with restlessboy and fleeblewidget after an extended search: not in the most obvious place! Met thebuttonmushroom and hunted with her, after which she gave us a hint on “Cardiff’s Bouncy Bridge, which we’d taken a quick look for and failed to find earlier in the day.” Nice container! TFTC.

Found with fleeblewidget and restlessboy. Nice little hide! No picture in the cache, though (or did I misunderstand the description).

Despite a hint from thebuttonmushroom, STILL didn’t manage to find this elusive cache. Rainy and full of muggles, so gave up. A hint on the page would have been nice!

The ninth cache of the day for fleeblewidget and I, this wonderfully well-concealed cache wasn’t even on the same side of the road as we started looking on, thanks to GPS signals scattering off the trees. Great cache.

On our way back from the excellent “PC-001 Costly Culvert”, it began to rain, and we considered just going straight home… but then we noticed a few more caches on the way and we couldn’t resist hunting for one or two more before we called it a day. This cache was the tenth of the day for fleeblewidget and I, and we needed the hint before we worked out where we were looking. A very imaginative cache, I’m very impressed!
Don’t be put off by the civil engineers building… whatever it is they’re building… at the moment, they’re not in the way and they’re not really paying attention to people looking for geocaches.
Also; this cache probably ought to have the “public restrooms nearby” attribute, as there’s a toilet right next to it!

The eleventh and final cache for the day for fleeblewidget and I. By now the rain had really started to fall and it had begun to get dark, so our search was a little more frantic than usual. Found the cache with little difficulty, but the log is pretty much soaked and part of the… “mechanism used to hide the cache”… is damaged and it may not last much longer: urgently needs maintenance.
TFTC; looking at the locomotives in the nearby engine yard was the perfect way to end today’s expedition.

Unfortunately we didn’t plan our trip quite wisely enough, and this – the sixth cache of the day for fleeblewidget and I – involved us crossing over the A4074 for a third and then (when we left) a fourth time for the day, which did take quite some time as we had to wait for breaks in the traffic which were few and far between. But the reward was worth it: this cache is one of the cleverest I’ve ever seen.
fleeblewidget actually PICKED UP the cache to look under it before I realised that what she had in her hand was, actually, the cache! Watched a few helicopters taking off from and landing at the nearby air force base as we waited for a gap in the traffic on our way back. Great cache, thanks!

fleeblewidget and I took a damp walk through the field after we lost the path on our way to this, our seventh cache of the day. We spent quite a while looking in exactly the wrong places before we had another go at getting a GPS fix and, then… bang – we were right on top of it. Don’t think the crows in the nearby rookery were pleased to see us: they kept cawing and flying in circles over our heads like tiny vultures. Lovely little roads, around here; I’ve walked one or two of them before, but never on such a nice day.
