Found with the EA GeoMob over a night and a day in order to find the associated TC (which proved easy to find, though not in the way it should have been).

I arrived late, due to work commitments and by the time I met up with the other Mobbers they had been wandering in circles for a good hour or so. Luckily their circles had either taken them not far from where they parked, or all the way round and back again. Either way, by the time I parked up, they were all of 600 metres away from me.

It felt to be good to be part of a Mob again - it has been some time since I have been caching in a Mob - and soon I was wandering around in circles too. By the time I joined, one missing tag had already been missed, and another picked up with the possibility of another missing inbetween also (which was later worked out to have been the case). We carried on until we reached another missing tag. At this point there was no further tag in evidence to carry on, so we stopped for a very tasty beer break.

It was such a mild night, that stopping in the middle of the woods at this time of year was not at all chilly. I think the beer dulled our brains, because we stopped to PAF at this stage. As Rachael later commented, when you have a F to PA it is too easy to do so. The answer to the puzzle was so evident, and had we stopped to think about where we had been, where to go was staring us in the face. But rather than plotting where we had been, we were plotting to kill Roderick for his not answering our text.

We decided that we would leave the cache until the next day, and went off for a quick trip to Heaven instead. (Satan would have to wait for tomorrow...)

Despite the saying, tomorrow did come (and at the time of writing is aka yesterday) and emboldened by reading previous logs we felt we should be able to finish in the daylight. Back at the same parking spot as the night before, we were receiving texts from Roderick for the tags we had missed. It would be true to say we were ambivalent about this, as we had already worked out roughly what they must have been, and also roughly what we had yet to find. Indeed we had plotted every single tag we felt the Agent of Darkness...Satan himself had planted - and confirmed what we had suspected the night before (if only the plot had thickened).

We could now see how others may well have abbreviated their trek, and could see that had we not been "cache-blind" we could have easily done similarly. Then again, it would not have been anywhere near as fun or memorable experience! We wouldn't have been able to enjoy the Ditches of Death, the Rhododendra of Ruination, and the Fearsome Fence of Finality. We didn't really to find any of these, but I would urge any other cacher to seek them out. Pain is so close to pleasure, and all that...

I am really glad we found this cache at both night and in daylight. The woods are completely different beasts, and the beauty of them is not realised until visited in daylight. In fact, they are surprisingly open, and it becomes clear just how foolish some route choices were the night before. As such, we enjoyed a nice and easy stroll to a location which we believed was the only place the cache could be.

It wasn't.

We ought to know, because we spent a good hour searching there. Just as we were beginning to doubt ourselves, we stopped for lunch/afternoon tea. This was clearly a big mistake - just as stopping for beer the night before. Once stopped, the urge to PAF is hard to resist. Stupidly, the solution to our problem was mentioned only moments before Mark was phoning Roderick. So once again something we had worked out for ourselves was confirmed by the cache owner, and literally within seconds we had what he had not been looking for, which lead us to what we were looking for - and somewhat unsurprisingly, had us walking around in circles again.

At GZ, we found ourselves at yet another tag - but this time could see where we needed to be looking, and Shirley soon had a nice big ammo can in her hands. 

We thoroughly enjoyed these caches (OC and TC) in both the moonlight and the daylight, and were all in awe of how much thought and effort must have gone into the planning and execution. 

Thanks for an incredibly entertaining time.  I LOVED your cache! TFTC!!
