Yellow Submarine II (Canterbury) Traditional Cache
bo&bronnie: Just checked on this cache today and am sorry to say that it is well and truely broken so will have to archive it. The area has had a bit of a hard time from the quakes and is in a bit of a mess and there is no water left in the stream that the cache was in. The cache was good fun while it lasted, Time to do some more thinking for another new cache. Cheers Bo

Not for those with a handwashing OCD. You may want a towel and handcleanser. Watch kids around the location & maybe bring bread for ducks?
I think it's worth singing, too - beware the brainworm!
MUGGLES ABOUND: STEALTH REQUIRED
Small container, no room for swaps. Please replace carefully out of sight.
Inspired by the original Yellow Submarine cache.
NB Please just unscrew the lid, you do not have to touch the black switch. Please do NOT tighten this more than 'hand-tight' or it is too hard to unscrew! There should be a few mm of black still visible at the base of the lid. Thanks!
The Beatles have rightly owned the title of 'best band ever' (at least in my book). One of my favourite albums is Revolver, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, between 6 April and 21 June 1966, and produced by George Martin. Several classic tracks are included in that album - who can forget the melancholic ballad Eleanor Rigby, or Here, There and Everywhere?
But the track that went on to glory has to be Yellow Submarine. This track later featured in both the Album 'Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' and the psychedelic animated movie "Yellow Submarine".
"Yellow Submarine" was finished after five takes on 26 May 1966, in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios, with special effects being added on 1 June 1966. On the second session the studio store cupboard was ransacked for special effects, which included chains, a ship's bell, tap dancing mats, whistles, hooters, a tin bath filled with water, wind and thunderstorm machines, as well as a cash register. Lennon blew through a straw into a pan of water to create a bubbling effect, McCartney and Lennon talked through tin cans to create the sound of the captain's orders.
"Yellow Submarine" was mixed on 2 and 3 June, and finished on 22 June 1966.
Thanks to Wikipedia for the info, and The Beatles for the creativity!
