What a great cache. We had 10 of us hunting for this one, fun all round. Definitely wear long trousers and shirt, we've been digging out splinters for days. The prize for the biggest splinter goes to our lady, we dug this 1 inch special out of her leg later in the afternoon.

Got it! Had a spare few minutes this morning, so, after going through a number of logs, we popped back. Had rake and leather man in hand (needed neither), got it within a few minutes. A great hide, thanks. 
 
Hunted in sneaky places for ages. Even had a fellow cacher join. To no avail. Still, we’re loving caching without the kids for a change.
