Geocache Description:

One of those annoying and frustrating teeny weeny “needle-in-a-haystack” nano caches in view of plenty of muggles!

November 2007: We were fortunate enough to win the booby prize for the time trial at the C.C.C.C.C. #3 ( All Rogues Day) geocaching event; a nano cache. Not being the biggest fan of these very small caches, it's taken us all this time to finally get around to placing it!

It’s at a location not too far from where Mr H works and could be of interest to some (that's if you’re of the engineering-minded type).
