magwai: Going to put this one to bed [:(]

Checked the area this evening and still not sure where to replace it, rather than leave the cache on a temp disable any longer, I think it's fair to archive it

Thank you to everyone who visited the cache and the area [:X]

Geocache Description:

Trackable Motel - No breakfast but every now and then there will be room service in the form of Cache Owner Maintenance

Situated close to M6 Toll, and assorted A Roads, an ideal place to stop off or to be picked up to go to who knows where

The Motel is situated in a place called Shenstone Lammas Land, an ancient Celtic Site, along the footpath you will find a footbridge which follows the old Drift Road and at the end you will find "The Shining Stone" a sculpture by Jo Naden, commissioned in 2002, which is sited on the North/South/East/West crossing point - See the signs at the entrance of the area for more details.

There are some seats and benches along the path for you to stop, at the time of placing the cache, snowdrops were just showing through and plenty of blackberry bushes for autumn picking

As with all places near water, please take care of Geokids, Geohounds and of course yourselves. At certain times of the year there are nettles around GZ - Please be aware

Cache is just off the footpath, stealth will be required as it's a well used footpath for locals and their pets

The cache itself is a cliplock box (obtained at the EMCache Christmas Bash 2009 - a good night that was too) in a black fabric bag, originally containing 7 GeoCoins and Travel Bugs wanting to check out, log, pen and some swaps for Geokids who have no interest in the coins and bugs as they can't keep them. - Replaced on 19th August 2010 as the original had been destroyed

I would ask that the motel is not emptied of all residents when you visit, as that wouldn't be fair on other cachers, take and swap only what you intend to move on, thanks
