Worker is here quite a bit doing what she does. Knows the owner of this area. Fairly confident, (without going to see exact placement) you are on private property. The council had to be very precise with the road side work a while ago. And (not meaning to be unkind at all) but this owner is not one you want to upset.

This did not appear to be on private land when it was placed. I will look into it.

In the absence of any kind of response from the cache owner to emails and logs, I now request for this cache to be archived.

Given the coordinates appear to be on private property I'm disabling this one until the owner can correct this.

Very unhappy with this cache even before I discovered I wasn't first to find it. Coords are 90 m on private land. I had a chat with the owner and received permission to search. I spent an hour there wasting my time. The land owner was gutted on my behalf. He does not want a cache on his land, if it is all the same with you. He allowed me on so I could find it and take it away. Once I had gone back to the top road and got cell cover I discovered Ace Biggles had pipped me to the post today (Onya) and found it using his superior French skills (Onya). Using his help I returned and found it (I did look there also but missed it). You have a problem now. There is another pre-existing cache about 110 m from yours, and moving yours isn't an option because the land owner isn't happy with you and the only ways left to move it are onto his property or into the sea. This sort of thing is almost as bad as logging a DNF as a find... Everyone gets their own fun from this hobby, and rules get stretched, but we should at least not try to run foul of land owners, eh?
