The Zodiac Series - Pisces Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

geohatter: This cache has been unavailable for a considerable period and as the owner has not responded to my log I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "As the cache owner, you are also responsible for physically checking your cache periodically, and especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to hunt for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable time - normally a few weeks - in which to arrange a visit to your cache. In the event that a cache is not being properly maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an extended period of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Limited parking is at above co-ordinates. Alternate parking may be found in the vicinity of N52° 52.387 W003° 00.248. The northern co-ordinates for the actual cache can be found in the Scorpio cache and the Western co-ordinates can be found in the Cancer cache.

This cache is in an Ammo Box and can hold larger TB's. Original contents include log book, pencil and sharpener (please do not remove) A pet water bowl, St. George's flag, tissues, 2005 date book, dream catcher, children's book, dog ornament, coffee cup and a couple of collectibles.

Please note the co-ordinates on the back of the geo-cache note as they are for the bonus ZODIAC CACHE. This area is alive with both wildlife and muggles so please take care when retrieving and replacing the cache.

The walk to the cache site is mostly buggy and wheelchair friendly. However, you will encounter stiles and the path gets rougher the closer you get. The GPSr signal will also come and go under the tree cover, depending on the time of year you do this cache but should be good when you get near the final site.

A big thanks to the Shropshire County Council and the wardens of the Countryside Commission for their permission and assistance.
