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. :-(

1. CO hasn’t logged in in almost 3 years.
2. Long string of DNFs.
3. No finds in 8 months.
4. During that time I’ve repeatedly tried to contact CO both through this site and through Go Active Oxfordshire (to report this as probably-missing and to volunteer to help with its future maintenance if they want to bring it back to life), but never received a response.

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.

Dropped by to perform routine maintenance to discover that this cache has been partially muggled: the lifting mechanism has been cut and the pencils have been removed. However the cache itself is otherwise functional. As a stop-gap the cache is temporarily hidden BEHIND the tree (rather the hoisted up it); I’ll look into a proper fix as soon as I’m able.

Found today at 11:30 with Robin, whose ascent marked his final expedition this year as part of his 52reflect.com project. I’ve been up here many, many times before since this cache was placed (and some before) but only this time taken the effort to find and sign. TFTC!

At community suggestion, replaced containers at waypoints #1 and #2 with smaller, more-discreet variants to help reduce risk of future muggling. A geocacher still shouldn’t struggle to find these containers, though: they’re pretty obvious once you’re looking in the right place!
