- Didn't find it
This is a great cache bar one thing... I didnt find it
Was over in Drayton collecting some furniture and happened to spot this open cache, which I always try to do when in shot of. Some quick research and the co-ords checker gave me the green light to within 100ft. That was a worry... but I was thinking if it was a camo micro it would have to be somewhere logical at GZ. Found a park about half a mile from the cache and had a great wander along the towpath in the warm early evening. Only got passed by one stray cat and a lone cyclist.
When I reached GZ my heart sank. No obvious hide and thorns, nettles and dense growth everywhereA no-clue camo micro in that with a 30m search radius?! Dissapointing. I gave it a go but honestly brambles + nettles plus long unfound camo mirco in fading light is not a recipe for a good time. I am a firm believer of hiding the largest possible cache for a given location and a regular could easily be consealed here... no need for a tricky micro that is going to get you all cut up... or at well directed clue to narrow the hunt. If this cache is only going to get a single visit or two are year surely you want them to be smileys and not dissapointing DNFs
haha
I dont know if I will get the chance to return here again, and I wouldnt without confirmation it is there or a explicit hint as its a pain to get to. However, the puzzle was original, the walk there great and the walk back even better in the setting sun so definately not a wasted trip!
