Found just before dusk at the start of an evening drive to Lichfield to meet an engineer visiting from Kuwait. I tried this one on my way back from the same place a few weeks ago, but got a clue wrong (maybe the word 'by' should replace the word 'in').
I did realise there was an error last time as the hint didn't quite match up and I did actually start a quick search in the right area, but ran out of light. I nearly did again because there are a number of objects fitting the hint, but found it just in time and managed to sign the log using a torch. I was very careful around the wall, but I do worry a little that damage might be done especially if the clues are not answered correctly and a co-ordinates check would be nice.

Dropped off "Second River (MI)" Red Jeep TB in lieu of VW TB1QWRX which appears to have gone missing.

My first one ever, found on a scorching hot day!

A few of the clues were ambiguous (C, with two possible answers, has a particularly big effect on the final coordinates), but Google Maps made the likely location obvious enough. Re Feb 20 posting: no disruption of stone walls was required.

All seems well with the cache. TNLN.

I wasn't going to look for this one, but as we were on Leckhampton Hill today I had a quick go over breakfast. Will also wanted to liberate the VW camper van TB, as he loves them.
Soccer research isn't my thing, so I got the crutial bits and left it at that.
The final location matched everything in other logs and the hint, but we didn't find the cache.
It was a beautiful afternoon and as we had no more caches planned today we spent a fair while at the cache site.
We nearly got run over by some little kid riding a tiny motorcyle round in circles over the public footpath despite the sign prohibiting motor vehicles.
Thanks anyway,
Pete, Will and Bob.
