Went to look for this one today and all I found were what would have been contents of cache - no container and no logbook. It looks like and area that kids might play in as the area underneath was dry.

FOund as part of a predawn raid. We had the place to ourselves, no other cars, walkers joggers etc. had to get the torch out for the search. After looking in a few places we found it. It was certainly well covered in leaves in its hidy hole. SL and repalced. Now off to get another.
