Archiving this and removing container due to continued bleating and moaning about the container.
It ended up being a touch busier around here than I was expecting, even with the local establishment being closed at the time. Still, an opportunity to grab the cache came up eventually, then the real problem began as finding the cache was easy but actually opening it was - in true U.N.C.L.E. style - a chore and a half. Definitely one that's going to stay muggleproof and weatherproof though. Cheers!
Sorry but I feel I have to respond to the previous log- PLEASE read the clear instructions on the cache page about re-assembling the container! Any problems with getting the container open is due to people re-assembling the container in a thoughtless manner and NOT because of any inherent desire by me to make accessing the container difficult. The repeated bleating about this and other similar containers of mine is wearing thin. Please just follow the simple instructions when re-assembling and the next person will have no problems.
An easy find but a bit tight to remove the black plastic bit it did come out with a bit of a pull. When I tried to push the black plastic bit back in it was tight and it needed a bit of pressure and when it moved it moved all the way in as there is a rim in the hose that has formed from the lip on the black plastic bit and holds the black plastic bit in place quite well. I would think that the hose was a bit softer when it was new and not so soft now. So I would not say that caches are bleating about it but just making comment that it is tight to get into. Maybe removing some of the plastic lip from the black plastic bit might solve this problem and make it easier to remove and replace. Anyway TFTC
A quick detour on the way to get dinner. Not much traffic today so was a nice quick find. TFTC
Found on cold wet night after a detour to McD's! Easy find but so hard to get the log out. Despite this difficulty was a favourite for me! Tftc!
First one in Dunners for a while.
I was in the neighbourhood and had a few minutes to spare, usual location for the type.
Thanks for the history lesson.

Took 2 seconds to spot! Took 20 minutes to get into it! Man that was a tight squeeze! Tftc!
An interesting location will have to come back sometime and have a look at the gas works. Cache located and then brought back to the car so we could extract the log. thanks for the story. TFTC
I was with eve07 when we went for a FTF but left it for another of those dot days. Glad I could sit in the car while opening the cache.....Very interesting place, thanks for the cache UNCLE.
Found this while out walking the dog. No problem spotting it but it took some work getting the log out.

After picking up some food nearby, I noticed that there was a new (relatively, for me) cache, so we could not just leave it there, right? It was all nice and quiet, everyone inside, not a soul around, so we parked wonky and made a quick find. Great cache!! TFTC!!
Nobody about at this time of night. I must come back in daylight - it looks interesting. Thanks.
A quick find after dark with no prying eyes around. Had a pretty good idea what I was looking for as I approached GZ. TFTC
A biting wind during the last throes of the fabled "school holidays" failed to stop Mr. Rex from making the find here...had a wander around the grounds, and was intrigued at reading about the fixture...cheers, CO!
Spotted straight away as I've seen one of these before. Quiet area on a Sunday Afternoon. TFTC
Found on 29/04/2017.
FTFs and myself have a somewhat erratic relationship, the're like the proverbial buses - None for ages and then three come along all at the same time.
Got up this morning and saw the emails and through 'Why Not?" - so off I went.
Nicely hidden and found quickly after the previous FTF.

Decided to go for this one as it would be an easy one compared to the next expedition today. TFTC U.N.C.L.E
