Hi
One of my roles as a reviewer is to monitor my region for caches that have been disabled for a long time, have had a reasonable number of DNFs or appear to require some maintenance. This is done through running a query on a database of all the caches in my region that looks for such things or by cachers submitting Needs Archiving logs as it appears maintenance may not be being carried out by the CO.
It would appear that this cache may benefit from some attention by the CO. May I ask that the owner checks the cache and sort out any problems with it or gives an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find. If this cannot be done or if the CO no longer wishes to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.
Of course if the CO has visited the cache recently then please post an Owner Maintenance log indicating that they have done so, enable the listing, and all should be fine.
In the future, if a listing is going to be disabled for a long time then posting periodic notes to the page (once per month or so) keeps people up to date with what is happening.
This isn't a requirement to fix the cache immediately but if it's unlikely to be done within 30 days could the CO post a note to the cache page giving an indication of when the maintenance will be done, or an indication of why it cannot be carried out.
**By all means send a mail to me through my profile, quoting the cache name and GC code, but please also post a note to the cache page. Emails to me may be missed or go astray and it would be a shame to archive the listing due to missing correspondence.**
**Guidelines: "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."**
Sadly if there is no response to this log after 30 days I may have to archive the cache.
Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived - [Unarchiving a Geocache](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70)

Day 1 of a charity walk along 60 miles of the Thames Path in support of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award - [DofE Diamond Challenge](https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/michaels-midwinter-meander). Unfortunately couldn't locate this one.

Today was Day 21 of my Thames Path walk, this time from Bermondsey to Charlton. I enjoyed a pleasant walk through the history of Rotherhithe and Greenwich to the industrial decay and regeneration of the peninsula and beyond. And near the end of the walk I could see the Thames Barrier, the finish of the official Thames Path. I saved that for next time because I plan to walk the extension to Erith.
This is an interesting statue but the hint gives so many possibilities that I would have been lucky to find the cache; I wasn't.

Had to wait while people sitting there finished their lunch! But eventually had the opportunity! TFTC!
We had a wander along the Thames as a couple of muggles were eating their lunch - the coast was clear by the time we got back! An easy find - and intriguing statues! TFTC.
I had a nice walk with my friend along the Themes to Greenwich Park. It was a very easy find. TFTC
Tftc. Great little cache. I am amazed it hasn't been muggled. The log could do with being replaced.
Well, this was the last on our list for the night and accidentally chased away a fellow cacher who was intently looking at the chair... A very cool statue and after reviewing the int, made a quick find of this one!
