TFTC... Another quick one on the way home. Easier for short people to see, need long arms to get at it.
Didn't seem to be a lid for it. Ok in this sunny weather, but log will be ruined when it rains.

On a road trip around Ireland and UK for 2 weeks! There are a lot of interesting spots and places to visit.
Now we are back in the UK, specifically in England. Our next stop was near Bath.
Quick found at dinner.
But the container lid is broken.
Thanks for the cache and greetings from Germany

Easy find although a bit difficult to get it out of its hiding place, Mr O managed. Not one for short people, thanks for placing.
(should have been here ages ago, only ~500m from my house)
quick find, and as per below, lid broken. put back upside-down so it stays dry. new log (paper) noted. good little spot, have to be careful now since the pub garden / car-park is busy. cheers!

cache is absolutely wet through and the container was fully of water. New log is sodden. Emptied out the water using some paper dried out the cache pot tore a strip of some paper I had. Managed to insert the lid into the cache and replaced upside down . Needs maintenance but TFTC SL
Found on the way home from visiting family in Bristol. Unable to sign as container waterlogged. Emptied but will need maintenance - sorry we had nothing to replace it with. TFTC
Found with Campervandude and Nickanddonna (the latter having already found this cache) on a quick detour. It was interesting to find out about these blind houses. The cache itself needs a bit of maintenance though. TFTC
Container is broken and the log was so wet it was unsignable, so we replaced with a temporary log- but it will need a new one.
Asked to the pub next door and was told they its been taken and not replaced
This was on way home today from a mornings caching with Rucking Mole, and we got there for opening too! so a quick pint was had

I did actually find this but didn't sign the log. I am short and could only just reach the container. I tried to retrieve it but was afraid I'd drop it down behind and then others wouldn't be able to get it. Great piece of history.
I would like to claim a find on this one but the placing of the cache is such that it is impossible to retrieve without climbing on top of the wall or having some form of safe grabbing device as it is impossible to get your hand into the place where it is sitting. The first option would be far to conspicuous and the second would have a very high chance that it would drop behind the wall into someones private garden.
I have a photo of the cache on my phone but did not want to post is as it clearly identifies the hiding place. I can send it to the owner though.
A bit of a quandry, please delete this log of you think iit unfair to claim a find.

Penultimate cache for the day heading into Bath. Lucky we are tall and Dr Htrut has skinny arms as it was quite the challenge to reach! Log is wet and could do with some attention. Garden not busy today and we replaced it in the same but slightly kinder spot for the next hunters
Cheers from Australia!

Together with my wife and my daughter on a "sausage caching picnic" ! After the sausages had been logged it was time to go back to wales again. We passed by here for a quick find. A little bit tricky !! TFTC
This proved to be quite a challenge with the beer garden being well used! Eventually decided to climb the wall to look interested in the Blind House to grab it unnoticed! Couldn't have reached it any other way!!
