We are sorry to say that due to our ill health we are no longer able to keep this cache going. We are sorry to be archiving this but it's just no longer reasonable for us to maintain this cache. Happy caching around Melton.

13-Jun-17
With the help of Hedgerow The hedge Hog, and the phone camera we located the cache was a bit off from the coordinates, tftc sl
 
06-Jun-17
After the Doc told me to have the day off I decided I needed a bit of fresh air and what better way to get some fresh air then going out caching. This was an easy find in the second place I looked. Good camo. TFTC
 
06-Apr-17

Pretty quick find, log is a bit full and a little scraggly. Tftc
 
22-Feb-17
Out for a quick drive on a break for work. Was able to spot the cache quickly, but the retrieval was a bit harder. I should eat more wheetbix for breakfast, I needed a bit of strength to get it out. All done and returned safely.
 
09-Feb-17
found it finally after the second try.
 
06-Feb-17
An afternoon free to go geocaching with my youngest daughter who promptly fell asleep in the car 5 minutes into the drive, limiting me to close park and grab caches. Not to worry, with plenty to clean up around the area still, we'll have to save the further afield ones for when she's not so sleepy.

Nicely hidden just where you think it would be. Boy that magnet has a grip, it took quite a bit of effort to extract the cache for signing. Thanks for the cache The 2 Wanderers.
 
28-Jan-17
Well hidden...better hint be like look beyond your reaches but was cleaver

Came to this geocache at 5:42pm after shopping at woodgrove! Found this cache pretty easily but inside is all socked and the log book is wet so they will need to replace the log book. Besides that a great hidden cache container. TFTC Smile

Good hiding spot. Found in about 15mins. Looked low like the others said, but it helps to have the height to see down. One of these things is not like the others.
