This cache is located near to the Slipway outside Swanage
Heritage Centre. It is a breath strip container, we have used a
similar container for a cache we have placed in Swansea (GCVH4Z)
and it seems to have worked quite well.
Hehe - hey, muggles - it's behind
yoooouuuuu!
To open the container - you will see a slight groove at one end.
If you place your nail in this and push gently, it should flip open
just enough to remove the log book. If you have to force it too
much, you're pushing the wrong end!
You may see the cache more easily if you sit on the ledge at the
side / top of the slipway. Wheelchair users should easily be able
to locate and retrieve the cache from the promenade.
There's really only one place it can be, so I don't expect
you'll need the clue. Please make sure that the container is put
back in exactly the same spot, so that it cannot be seen by
muggles. Also, please ensure it is fully closed to protect against
sea spray - thank you.
Thank you to Perthos for the idea for the cache container. These
are frequently used in London, but this is the first one in
Swanage, so let me know what you think - constructive criticism
welcome!
Please note that this is deliberately intended to be a different
type of challenge to other caches in the area. This is in a
'muggle-rich' area, and discretion will be needed. Kids may not
enjoy finding it, as there are no swops. Also, I have to admit that
when we first started Geocaching, we didn't find this type of hide
to be interesting - we were more interested in visiting
out-of-the-way areas and finding nice big containers. However,
although we still very much enjoy finding containers up in the
mountains, in the woods, etc., after visiting London, we now also
think there is a certain satisfaction in finding a cache hidden
right under the nose of so many passers-by. We hope that you will
enjoy it too.
PS. One of the logs below mentioned that the cache had lost
its magnetism - I think actually that they may have tried to affix
it to the wrong item! Rest assured, the magnet is still nice and
strong.
