Coordinates weren’t playing ball but the hint quickly set me straight. Cache a little wet but water-resistant logbook (good choice, CO!) holding up nicely. Surprising to find such a grand church hidden amongst such a warren of winding roads! TFTC.

A quick find while killing time between my duties as a #challengerobin controller. Love this coastline, although the approaching rainclouds are a little intimidating.

Remains of what looks like a hook mechanism are hanging loose above where I found the cache; might have fallen at some point?

What a fabulous location for a cache. Much thanks due to the hotel who allowed it to be placed here! I was just hanging around waiting for a friend to arrive by train and you gave me a great excuse for a wander, first. TFTC!

After a bit of a hunt and put off by the recent DNFs I was about to give up on this one when a passer by hinted that I should be looking “bayl sbhe fgrcf njnl”. TFTC!

I’ve exchanged messages with Taradoherty and it sounds like their previous log (suggesting that the cache is missing) was posted in error. I’ve no reason to believe that there’s anything wrong with the cache.

In hindsight, visiting this cache might have been a mistake as a storm was beginning to roll in, but I got there before things got TOO hairy! I was in the vicinity preparing an adventure-trail thingy along the coast path anyway, and couldn’t miss the opportunity to head for this exciting location. And it was a real treat to see a container like this: I’ve only ever seen them before when I’ve placed them myself (e.g. GC7QG1Z). Great container, hide, and description: FP awarded. TNLN, TFTC!

Checked-in following recent report of “broken hinge”. Hinge is fine, but this kind of container is designed so that the hinge can be easily detached and the lid removed completely – so long as you come at it from the right angle it’s pretty easy to put it back together again. All is well at GZ; cache is particularly easy to find now it’s a little more wintery but I don’t think there’s any increased risk of muggling. Happy hunting!

A challenging find this morning, and not in the good way! After an extended search the cache was eventually found on the other side of some fallen (spiky) bushes from the published coordinates. From the logs it looks like it was moved some time ago but the coordinates were never updated? Cache contents very damp and log baggie holed – log still usable, but not for long. Contents need maintenence ASAP, container might survive either year or two if frost doesn’t crack the seal. SL, TFTC.

Staying at the conference centre down the road I got up early this morning to come out and find this cache before breakfast. After a little while struggling to make out the letters on the gravestone in the dim November morning light I was eventually able to find the cache. Don’t understand the checksum, though! SL, TFTC.

Sorry it took me so long to get out here to check up on this cache; geocaching.com started disbelieving that my email address was valid and stopped sending me watchlist notifications for a while! Looks like the lid had become detached at some point (that can happen with this kind of container) but a subsequent cacher more-familiar with this kind of container reassembled it. Dried out the container a little, but the most-fragile contents were already safely ziplocked and silica-gelled and were all in serviceable condition already.

The fairies are all busy weatherproofing their homes for the winter, so I gave them a little help too.
