Great cache container! I’m visiting the Open University to take an exam, this afternoon, and enjoyed the opportunity to find a handful of caches (both these, and the nearby series of virtuals from a different cache listing site) while in the vicinity. TFTC!

Plans

I’ve got an exam in Milton Keynes in the afternoon, so it’d be only a minor diversion for me to come and try to visit this roadside hashpoint. I hope to be there about 10:30.

Expedition

Failed to turn on the tracklogger on my GPS, but I remembered to get photos at least. This was a quick and easy run, although I did get accosted by a local who saw me hanging around near the wind farm and putting up a sign… I think that after the controversy these epic windmills caused he might have thought that I was putting up a planning notice to erect some more or something. Once I explained what I was doing he seemed happy enough.

Used my new 360° full-panoramic camera to take a picture at the hashpoint; I’ll put a VR-ready version on my website and link it here when I get the chance.

Clearly somebody doesn’t want this geocache here because both the original and the replacement containers have been quite-obviously-deliberately buried under a block of concrete: that’s some seriously-dedicated muggling! I’ve removed everything I can of the cache container and its assembly (unfortunately some remains under the concrete and I’d need a crane to lift it!).

Wild Wolf Three’s and Long Lost Zoo are still viable nearby caches if you’re looking for some local history as you explore.

In hindsight, I should’ve anticipated that when the nearby schools’ terms started this hiding place would be at-risk. I’ve been checking on this spot at school-kicking-out time for a few weeks and, sure enough, the tree that was the hiding place is a hot climbing-spot for local kids, so I can’t imagine that returning the cache at this location will ever work.

If you’re looking for local animal-related history, though, Wild Wolf Three and Long-Lost Zoo are still alive and well!

After a few false starts with the arithmetic (hint: make sure you’re substituting the right value into the right place!) – thanks for the checker! – this was a quick and easy find. Log completely full and in need of replacement. TFTC!

Flew by to collect the requisite information while on the way to IndieWebCamp Oxford this morning. So long as the rain holds off and I can solve the coordinates, I may be back at lunchtime to find the cache! Love instruction C, by the way… I’ll consider it!
