Stemonitis doesn’t seem to have logged in for over three years, and it’s needed maintenance for its super-soggy log for about as long). I’ve sent a message to them offering to adopt this cache (it’s in a convenient place for me to maintain), but if I don’t get a response I’ll speak to an admin and see if they can transfer it to me (or else archive it as abandoned and I’ll lay an identical replacement in its place).

Edit: Stemonitis approves in principle. Just waiting for the adoption to go through.

Having difficulty getting to the website? Try using https://chilternhundred.drsolly.com/ and https://chilternhundred.drsolly.com/bonus.cgi rather than the web addresses listed in the description (which include a “www.”).

The SSL certificate presented by the web server covers “*.drsolly.com” which modern browsers to not interpret as including “www.*.drsolly.com”, so you may get “Secure connection failed” errors otherwise. (CO might like to update the links or else expand the certificate!)

I can’t log a “find” here because I set up the cache, but I wanted to show willing! So here I am, standing in the beginnings of what looks to be a serious rainstorm, capturing a screenshot with my phone. Gulp; should’a brought my coat!

Quick stop on a diversion from my cycle ride from the city centre to Sandford. Funny: years of caching and I hadn’t seen a container like this until I see two of them in one week. TFTC.

Dan Q found GLVZTQ6E Oxford Science Park Meets Sandford-on-Thames

Found with fleeblewidget on a lunch date after a bit of a hunt. Maybe the GPS gods weren’t smiling on me, but the given coordinates looked to me to be on entirely the wrong side of the path: by my reckoning, the container is at N 51° 42.699′, W 001° 13.347′. SL, TFTC.

Dan Q couldn’t find GC5X8C6 Offey’s Adventure

Solving the mystery to determine the cache location was the easy (and fun) bit: geocheck confirmed first time! But after half an hour of digging through damp vegetation (and the ocassional nettle) this morning, I had to admit defeat. :-(

Dan Q reported GC5VKVN Walk by the Firehouse #4 needs maintenance

Strongly suspect this cache is missing. CO: message me if you want me to confirm where I looked and what I found that makes me think it’s definitely a goner (if that’s easier than visiting the GZ). Sorry!
