It is with great sadness that I have to archive my clever little cache!! Unfortunately this spot is just not going to work as I'm not going to risk it being removed again as soon as I replace it so I will have to move this somewhere else ?? unfortunately that means that it will lose all those lovely FPS but I really hope that V2 will be just as well liked! V2 is ready to go so hopefully it won't be long before everyone can enjoy this one too! ??
Very unfortunately someone has gone to a lot of trouble to take this cache! Very disappointing! so I'll have to try and get everything together again to replace it which will be very difficult during lockdown to get everything I need! I will try and get everything I need as quickly as possible and see if I can get it going again soon!
I hadn't noticed this one pop up in the area .. nicely placed.. close to cafes but a very quiet and surprisingly muggle free and quite clever design too .. a favourite point from me .. thanks Bekgiz for placing the cache
We were on our way to Rye and decided to take a slight detour to check out this one.
GZ was surprising quiet given the activity around it. We thought we might be there for a while once we saw what we were up against.
After the log was signed, we noticed that the glue in some areas was becoming 'unstuck'.
A very nicely constructed cache that gets a favourite point from us.
Thanks Beckgiz.
Chiefton!!!

Well.... sneaky! Love this cache! The geo-kids and i tried every option but nothing seemed to work. But luckily non geo hubby (whilst waiting in the car) sent the signal that muggles were on their way. We bunkered down and waited for the coast to be clear once more. Only then did we have an epiphany! Sure enough we were right! We signed our names, added some booty and took some swaps.
Great hide!

Cool one! TFTC. LOL
Ohh okaaay I'll write a bit more I suppose (cue loud sigh) I knew the CO had something in the works and I'd even gone along to a potential location to provide advice, with that particular location not being suitable in the end. A couple of other locations I had thought of didn't really seem workable with what details the CO had divulged to me and the requirements for the placement, without me knowing the location that was decided upon in the end.
Knowing how eager you were to get it out there, I'm so glad you have now as it's such a great placement.
I patiently waited for it to be published and with that happening sooner than I expected, I was on my way out anyway with it being on the way. I guess technically I should log a DNF as my first attempt was indeed just that or I wondered if it had been taken already, but I will blame it on the painters who very inconveniently thought it was a good idea to do some work literally on top of GZ as I arrived and subsequently have added some 'decoration' to the cache. Turns out I was on the wrong side of where I needed to be but didn't even see it on the right side either lol.
The CO came by to check it was indeed still there, but I decided to return later in the day and I'm pretty sure as I drove in to park later on, the painters drove out right past me. Loved the whole concept of the cache and it didn't take long to solve the dilemma of getting into the cache. As usual, a very well stocked contents and happy to be the second to find. Hopefully it will rack up the FP's as I'm sure cachers will enjoy this one. Well worth a favourite from me.
Thanks for the fun Beckgiz.

FTF.
I get to gz and start poking around the fence line. There were some workers painting the green pole on the otherwise. I tried to stay out of view but eventually one of the workers said to the other. "There's another one looking for it"
Damn I thought. Not ftf. So I asked the guys and they said I wasn't the first to go looking and that the box was on the other side of the fence. So I came over and started talking g to them about the game. They had no intention of moving it though they had already looked inside it. Left the ftf coin thankfully and didn't even see that the logbook existed. So I signed, grabbed my prize, showed the workers what I was on about and went on my way. They did move the box up the pole so they could paint. They will move it back to the ground afterwards. May have some paint on it by then. Thanks for the fun
