As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Very cool. Came out here for a drive to get the kiddies to sleep (which was successful as soon as we were out of town Smile ) had to double look, threw the caches back in after having a rummage underneath to notice something interesting about the cache and wanted a closer look just to be surprised that it was the cache itself!

Another quick friend with TregearP.

Bannockburn is one of our favourite places and we have visited many times - including having spent two New Year's Eve's in the local pub which is really an experience.

We were pleased to have ensured we logged this cache as the only one in the area. All was quiet this morning, and all was fine with the cache. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Well have an opp on my shoulder about 4 weeks ago and still got about 4 weeks to go before I'm back at work so I thought I would come visit some friends in Cromwell for a few days so was a great time to find a few caches. Well been up here for a few days now and we went to the Bannockburn hotel for lunch today. Was a nice and relaxing day out here. So I only got this one for my daily fix. Nice location for this one. TFTC ☺
