A groundspeak cache was placed within a foot of this cache, so I have moved it away a little and adjusted the equation to give the new location. All good to go.

Stumbled upon this one by accident today whilst looking for another one so didn't really complete this as designed but signed anyway.

Found with tttppp.

A fun and informative multi-cache. Thanks.

With the help of an email exchange with the setter, found. Tftc!

Apologies to the last person to look for this, the area has been pretty much cleared and the cache has gone. I've put out a new one about 30 feet from the original location, and I've updated the co-ordinates and the encrypted hint.

If TTTPPP still have their workings out I'd appreciate it if they can check the new page is correct, but if not I'm happy to provide them with the new co-ords and hint.

Rgds, Andy

The brambles seem to have been cut back as we easily made it to where the coordinates/hint pointed at. Had a good look before spotting that it had been moved 10 feet. Had a look in all other likely locations within that radius, but no joy.

Been 18 months since this one was found. Called in while walking on the common with the family, to find the brambles had taken over. I gave up on it, but my daughter stuck it out and eventually managed to retrieve the cache. We put it back about 10 feet away where it is much easier to get to!

Rgds, Andy

We've visited Shortwood Common before while caching and have always found it a strangely peaceful oasis between the busy roads. Today we had a pleasant stroll around the common and were lucky with our choice of noticeboards. We're sure we've seen this container before Wink.

Thanks for the cache.

I enjoyed this cache very much. There is some interesting info on those signs and finding them all made for a nice lunch-time walk. Final cache found easily.

I have hidden caches on Shortwood Common before, but this is an entirely new cache, completely different to any previous ones, and to log it you will need to visit the common again.
