Geocache Description:

The cache contains a log book. Bring your own pencil. Make sure it's very sharp. It's a very small cache. It's not a micro; it isn't even a nano. You might call it a pico, maybe. You can initial the log; use no more than two letters. You might need tweezers; very fine-nosed tweezers. Thanks to Dr Solly for the idea.

Designed in 1935 to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V the K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be used extensively outside of London. replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites. It has become a British icon, although it was not universally loved at the start. The red colour caused particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours. The red that is now much loved was then anything but, and the Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident grey with red glazing bars scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty. Ironically, some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red.
