Geocache Description:

An easy low placed cache, for anyone who likes photographing castles.
3" x 2" x"2 camo box, so only suitable for tiny swaps and TBs, or geocoins.

This is an LPC. I think it may be the first cache named as an LPC in England, or even in the U.K. but you may know differently. For those who've never heard of an LPC the acronym stands for Lamp Post Cache. Apparently this type of cache is all the rage in the U.S.A. (They certainly produce quite a bit of "rage" on Groundspeak's Geocaching Discussions forum). Traditionally they consist of a 35mm film can stuck underneath the "skirt" at the base of the lamp post and they are usually located in fairly boring locations such as shopping mall car parks. I haven't yet found a lamp post with a proper 'skirt', so I've improvised with the natural resources available.

Maybe we should be grateful that British lamp posts don't have skirts, otherwise we too could have urban plagues of LPCs in every town? Or maybe our geocaching lives are the poorer for this ommission?

Discuss.

But not now.

Go find that cache!

(Thanks to the American cachers, usyoopers, for this cache box and the initial swag contents )
