Found via quick diversion from my expedition to the 2019-05-27 51 -1 geohashpoint nearby. I don’t often find myself on this side of the city and I was pleased to find a good-sized and well maintained geocache here, in a park I’d never visited! Initially I took 6 the wrong path and had to double back but soon knew where to look. TFTC, SL.

Hashpoint appears to be at the very end of Bleache Place, a suburban cul-de-sac in South-East Oxford. Looks very close to, but not on, the driveway of number 15. Possibly a convenient nearby lamp post for possibly attaching a “the Internet was here” sign?
(So long as he can get enough of his coursework done to justify taking a break), Dan Q plans to cycle out to the hashpoint at some point during the day.
14:55 – okay, I’ve not finished as much of my coursework as I’d hoped, but I’ve finished enough that I can afford to take a break of a couple of hours to cycle out to the hashpoint, do a silly grin, put up a “The internet was here!” sign, and whatnot. Here we go!
15:58 – Success! Photos, tracklog, and details to follow. I’ve put a sign up so I wanted to put a message here for anybody who happens to see it and visit this page before I get home and finish writing-up!
Came home via geocache GC6102Y, safely home by 17:15 and back to studying!

Quick cache and dash while in the vicinity. Overshot the obvious parking place and so parked up the road at the premises of “Q Associates”. Figured they wouldn’t mind given than it’s Sunday. Plus their company has the same name as my surname, so I could probably claim it’s mine if anybody challenged me. Cool solution!

Easy find once I’d looked at the hint. Container very exposed; re-hid. Excellent log book, highly thematic! Thanks for showing me this spot.

Turns out the glue I’d used had interacted badly with the material: wasn’t melting because of the heat (although that won’t have helped) but because of a chemical reaction on the plastic! Repaired and replaced, all good to go now!

Wow, this cache container really HAS been damaged by the hot weather. Removed for repair, back this weekend hopefully!

Added new cache container. Improved clue.

Added more-waterproof cache container. Improved clue. Note that old cache container may still be in place: wasn’t able to find it and was being watched by muggles; I’ll return to re-hunt for and remove the old container soon.

New cache container is assembled and ready to deploy as soon as I’m in the vicinity; hopefully next week!

Just visiting while dropping off my brother in law for his sponsored 500 mile “Lyme Regis to Limekilns on a Lime Bike” cycle, and thought I’d hit a couple of local caches before I set off back to Oxford. Great hiding place and a well maintained cache, thanks!

While dropping off my partner’s brother and his friend on their 500 mile “Lyme Regis to Limekilns on a Lime Bike” sponsored cycle ride, I took the opportunity for a quick grab of this nicely hidden cache. Logbook rather wet, needs replacing. TFTC!

Reassembled hoist mechanism. Improved route of paracord to make ascent easier but it’s still a wrap-it-round-your-hand-and-heave job.

Came past here the other day while some work was being done on the island. The entire area around the GZ has been torn-up and it seems likely that the cache has been muggled and that the area might no-longer be suitable for a cache. :-(

I strongly suspect that this cache is abandoned by the organisation that set it up. I’m reaching out to them today, one last time, but if they don’t respond then I suggest that this be considered for archiving by an administrator.
