Very good coordinates enabled us to make a quick find of the themed container in its secure hiding spot. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks Darzee Di for an informative puzzle and a well themed cache. We enjoyed our trip around Mount Fairy one we probably would not have made but for the caches hidden here.
Thanks,
After a great days caching up at Box Vale we went home for a while to recover from the heat, then headed back out for our daily GCA. We had solved this interesting puzzle previously and what a tasty one it was - and we even guessed the container ! Lol.
TFTC Darzee Di !!
