Not found… I think? I’m standing at the GZ and despite a reasonable explore I can’t see anything that could be described as artwork in plain sight… :-(
GPSr walked me right to it, and luckily the joggers who were here a moment ago have gone, so there was only a family of moorfowl watching me as I retrieved and signed the log. TFTC!
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!
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!
