This was a sneaky hide indeed. Took a few minutes, and as others suggested, implementation is necessary to unearth the cache. Definitely a nano!! SL RAF TFTC

A quick find once the hint was seen and the coast was clear. The cache was retrieved with the aid of a pen and then signed. A sneaky little hide but one I’ve come across before so had a little bit of prior knowledge of where to look. Thanks for the cache.
Fifth find of the day. Thanks for bringing me to a place I’ve not walked before. Quick find once I got my geocaching head on. Log is full - added a tiny scrap for next people but needs a new log really. TFTC SL and a Favourite for me.
Marshall’s Geelong found this cache today,
Hardest part was getting it out! Once out it was a quick sign. Thanks for the creative cache!

Tring for ages to find it last August during my second visit to Jane Austen's House but without success. Trying again a few days ago during a very wet day and finally understood the brilliant hiding. Loved it, thanks for the cache!
Well, now wasn’t that a sneaky little hide!!
This cacheing trip was trouble from the minute I left my house to come and get it!
I needed a cache for a grid filler today and noticed this one had parking very close by and the added bonus of it being an anniversary cache if found today. Although a little drive the temptation of 2in1 for challenges for me I couldn’t resist. As Bassetthound14 and I are working on an anniversary cache challenge I gave her a quick call to see if she was up for meeting me there quick. She didn’t need asking twice, so I headed out to get some petrol and make my way there. Got to the petrol station, had an issue with a faulty cache machine so then had to call the bank to sort that out. Finally half hour later I was on my way again! Reached some very handy parking and met Bassetthound14. Waited for a couple of muggles to pass, then waited for 2 ladies and their horses to walk through the underpass, about to have a search and GPS was all over the place, then 2 south east water guys decided to turn up! 5 minutes later they disappear, start search again and who should return, the ladies and their horses! Wait for them to pass to being to search again! By now I’m getting very cold as it is very bitter out there today! After a few minutes of searching I spotted something that I felt needed checking and YES!!! There was the cache. Thankful for my car key to help with retrieving the cache. I could hardly feel my hands by now so log quickly initialled SB85/BH14 before replacing and returning to the car to warm up. TFTC!!!

Sammybee85 obviously doesn’t think caching with me twice in a week is enough. Therefore this morning, she rang to ask if I fancied accompanying her to a cache to help with a challenge we are working on. I really wanted to get on with the housework but I figured that will wait. Soon I was at a suitable parking spot and shortly afterwards a stressed Sammybee85 turns up!! It was muggle central here and several attempts to grab the cache were interrupted! We were both frozen by the time it was finally clear and fortunately Sammybee85 soon had the cache in her hands. Very clever. SL as BH14/SB85 to save space. TFTC.
A very clever hide. Thanks to the fellow geocacher that was passing by and told us to pay great attention to the hint. Oh and make sure you have a key or pen knife with you. Thanks for placing.
I decided to take advantage of my first free day of the holidays by coming to Alton to do the Stancombe Scramble and also pick a few other caches in the area.
This is a clever hide, much trickier than the difficulty rating suggests. I searched a few places before spotting something that seemed to have been “keyed” and once that was removed the cache was found. Fav point for a clever hide. Tftc

One-third of The Chilihouse headed over to Wiltshire again, on a winter’s day that started dry but deteriorated as time went by. I was targeting ‘numbered series’ caches today, and any others that I found myself passing close to.
I walked along to this one from the nearby ‘Village Hall’ cache. On arrival, I first had to let a muggle clear the area, which gave my GPSr time to settle down, after heading under the A31. After a couple of minutes I spotted something but, before I could investigate, I had to let another muggle clear the area. As soon as the coast was clear, I enlisted the help of my ‘little Swiss friend’ and, thereafter, I soon had the cache in hand. A clever little hide.
TNLN (obviously) SL.

Visiting Jane Austen's house on her birthday, so had to pick up some local caches. Brilliant hide! TFTC
A little bit of lateral thinking, and, as others have done, the application of a key soon had the cache in hand.
One very guilty muggle went past on a bike and promptly dismounted (as she was supposed to do).
A fun end to the day's caching activities, now onwards up north...

Travelled to Alton today to attend the rehabilitation centre with Mrs N. Took the time to collect a couple of caches. After failing at the previous cache I was pleased to find this one. SLB. TFTC.
Stopped off on way home from working in Alton.
Sneaky but nice quick find thanks to hint.
Cheers for the cache
