Before leaving home in Surrey I borrowed my wife's binoculars with this cache in mind. Despite being 64 years old I still have eyes like a hawk, and I suspected I might not need them. But how wrong I was, without them I would have had no chance at all !

They are not a very good pair, and the eyepieces are so tiny that it is difficult to set the width such that you can use both eyes together. And even when I managed that I could barely make out any writing at all, let along what it said! But with patience, the most careful focussing, and resting the binoculars on the fence to steady them, eventually I pieced it together!

Then off to the final location for a quick find in a neat hiding place.

Thanks for the cache,

Rgds, Andy

Hah! despite my colleague O2J playing a wicked trick with the co-ords and sending me off on a route march around somewhere totally different (It's now fixed) I finally managed to track it down in my lunch hourCool TNLN T4TC

Parked on Hillside and walked to the plaque.  The binoculars I had with me were only just good enough to make out the word, but wth a squint on I could see it!

The cache is another of the great O2J container recognisable immidiatley.

A very early morning find on the way to work.

A very interesting bit of canal history.

I took my binoculars for a good look at the plaque (I'm very surprised that I've never noticed it before!), then off to the cache itself for a quick and straightforward find. Smile  FTF at 14:00. Smile  Many thanks for placing the cache, and for brnging me to see the plaque Smile
