First ever night cache, thanks for the email. Loved it. Definitely my favourite so far. Can't wait until your clandeboye one is back up and running. Tftc
This cache was originally found by me on 21st October, 2012. But tonight I was back in the company of andreabelfast, cep99, mappuser and tmsr – specifically to enable tmsr to log a find here, as the other three had already found it.
THE NIGHT’S STORY
The plan for a few of us to join forces and tackle a number of ‘Night Caches’ was hatched some time ago! Initially, we’d hoped to do this on Saturday, 28th February, after ‘tidying up’ some ‘outstanding’ caches in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter. But the weather that day was so foul (we all – andreabelfast, cep99, Halywid Hunters, mappuser and ruralrambler – ended up thoroughly wet through!) that we abandoned our ‘night caching’ plans for that evening and agreed to have another go on a later date!
With Tony (tmsr) contacting me in the intervening period, to say he hoped to be in Belfast for 24 hours over 24th/25th March and, “Could we do some night caches together?”, meant that a new agenda was set to do just that!
So today, four of us (andreabelfast, cep99, Halywid Hunters and tmsr) made the rendezvous point at the Park Avenue Hotel in East Belfast at around 19:30 and from here we set off together in one car to join mappuser at the recommended parking spot for our first target, ‘Clandeboye Avenue Night Cache’ [GC3WTAV], which we (HH) found on 16th September, 2012.
The evening proved to be one of ‘mixed success’ with a DNF on our first target ‘night cache’ but ‘FINDS’ on two others, plus some BONUS finds for all of us along the way!
THIS CACHE
We managed to park up on the edge of the footpath a few metres beyond the gateway on the town side. Then it was ‘out with the torches’ as we entered this discretely hidden path.
Since we were here to enable Tony (tmsr) to log a find on this cache, I gave him my powerful head torch and told him to go out in front and follow the night markers. It wasn’t long before he worked his way ‘around the course’ and had the cache in hand.
Tony was really taken with both the location and the cache and wants to come back here again sometime to let his children experience it for themselves.
All-in-all a well worthwhile visit to this family-friendly night cache. Would that more cachers would make the effort to find it.
