As evidenced by recent logs, this cache has “drifted” a long way from where it belongs (for anybody familiar with the hiding place: it should be out-of-sight, but easily reachable by an arm as short even as a child’s). I’ll get down there and check up on it within the next few days. Thanks for letting me know, justinbjacobs/(S)A&J!

Finally got around to spending a lunchtime hunting for this cache, and I’m glad I did: what a wonderful tour of some great backstreets, that I already thought I knew so well. Was slowed down by some scaffolding partially-covering one of the clues, but a helpful man working on the site was able to show me what I’d missed (and to be fair, if I’d been paying more attention I’d have found it myself eventually!).

TFTC; and have a favourite point.

Came out to investigate missing lid. Found lid a short distance away – possibly muggled. Cleaned cache contents, checked silica gel still doing its job, replaced lid. Game on!

Thanks, Go catch; I’ll try to get out there for some maintenance at or before the weekend. If you’re having difficulty with the overlays, it’s worth checking that your printout is the right size (after talking to some ‘cachers, I’ve discovered that some computers are printing it a tiny bit smaller: users of these computers need to ensure that the “resize to fit page” or similar checkbox is NOT checked, when printing). So long as your name appears in the log when I get there, though, you’re welcome to PM me and I’ll send you the number you’re missing. Thanks!

Dan Q posted a note for GC56KEX The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments

With a difficulty rating of 2/5 I thought this would be a reasonably easy puzzle, but I guess my poor heat-addled brain isn’t up to the task. I thought that perhaps visiting the Bate Collection early this afternoon might help, but it turns out that they only open at 2pm in the afternoon (by which point I had to get back to work), so I’ve not had any luck yet! Some day, perhaps!

But be warned: if you plan to visit the collection, they don’t open until 2pm on weekdays.
