The Mickleover Multi Multi-Cache
JustAlan: Went to check on the cache, and found it in full view on top of a pile of earth near where colonelandcrew had rehid it (the stickoflage and bark was still in place behind the tree - most odd). As they are rerouting the footpath and as someone obviously knows where it is, I have decided to archive it. Thanks to all who visited.
