I liked this tucked away location on a hot summer evening and I like to find an opencache when I can.

GZ was actually quite busy so I wandered down the lane, had a look at the enticing looking pub and then came back to sign the log.

Thanks for placing.

A moment of joy and serenity on my otherwise-uninspiring cycle to work. A wonder I've never been down this end of Plantation Road before, given that I'm a fan of the Gardner's Arms further along it and there are certainly journeys I've taken to or from there that would have been just as easy to take via this end of the quaint street.

I tried looking at the mandala image in two different cardinal directions, and saw that it appeared in two different ways. Upright, it seems as though an infinity symbol divided (but you can divide infinity forever and still have an infinity), but rotated 90° it's more like an hourglass suspended in a rotating frame (and so able to be flipped and started again). Either way, the metaphor to me is one of time.

Thanks for the cache; I hope more people get to find their way to this magical little corner.

Well, this was my first day of OpenCaching, and the first traditional OpenCache I've looked for.  I certainly didn't expect to get First-to-Find on a city cache that had been published for more than a year!

Not only that, but the cache itself was in great condition, with a big box and pristine log book, and pretty much in plain view.

When I first glanced at the mandala, I saw it sideways and thought of the shape of a map marker, standing proud above the horizon, over its shadow or reflection.  Then when I turned it upright, it looked a bit like a bug-eyed, insectile alien face, but as I gazed at it a bit more, the negative space between the lines formed into the petals of a tight bud, seen from above, ready to burst open.

Thanks for sharing, and T4tC.  JRI.
