A first in the Dale of the Doves (Nelson/Marlb.) Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Captain_S: I am archiving the entire Power of 10 series due to some misunderstandings with both cachers and landowners as to the placement of some of the caches in cemetaries.
When I first put this series out, I was very careful to approach the various people responsible for the locations, and was granted permission in all cases. It seems that either these people have moved on and not passed this information on, or reneged on the original permission.
The other reason for archiving is the number of cachers who have a problem with caches located in cemetaries, my response to that is that you don't have to find them, the choice is yours. My choice was to place them there for specific reasons and I was able to do so at the time.
If you have not finished this series and wish to find the final location (not in a cemetary) I will be happy to provide you with the co-ords.
Thanks for understanding
