GC2FVMR Do NOT Find This Cache!! (Traditional Cache) in Southern England, United Kingdom created by thebuttonmushroom

This cache has been archived.

thebuttonmushroom: Thank you to all the people who ignored my explicit direction NOT to find this geocache. I left it in place over 11 years and over 200 people went ahead and found it anyway! Looking a little sorry for itself now and time to free up the space and put it to bed.

Geocache Description:

Do you have OCD (obsessive caching disorder)? Prove you are still in control of your caching addiction by leaving this one well alone!

Has Geocaching taken over your life? Think whether some of the following are true for you:

1. Each time you enter the supermarket, you feel drawn to the Tupperware section.
2. If it's not the Tupperware, it's the toy / party section looking for items small enough to fit inside Tupperware containers.
3. Every pile of stones seems to be a potential Geocache hiding place.
4. You check your email many times a day for potential new caches in your area. You may even have special software installed on your computer which does this for you.
5. You've had your GPSr confiscated "for your own good".
6. You no longer visualize / think of the area in terms of streets and addresses but rather cache locations.
7. No matter who you are with, you can't resist pointing out a nearby cache when passing.
8. You realize you can now read the hints without clicking “Decrypt” or looking at the key.
9. You get distracted watching films because you keep scanning the background scenery, thinking, “That’d be a GREAT place for a cache!”
10. The police have taken an interest in your suspicious behaviour while caching. More than once.
11. While everyone else puts a quid in the coffee fund in the office, you TAKE a quid and leave a Travel Bug.
12. The police take an interest in the sheer number of small plastic bags you buy when you visit the supermarket.
13. The location of nearby caches is one of the most important considerations when planning a holiday.
14. You break out into a cold sweat when you can't lay your hands on your GPSr when getting ready for a caching trip.
15. You have lost way too many hours of your life to geocaching.com, various caching forums and online stores to buy anything from Geocoins to bumper stickers.

If this list is sounding familiar to you, this cache is for you!

In an attempt to make this cache as unappealing as possible I have made sure of a few things:
1. There is no invigorating walk, in fact you can park only a few feet away.
2. No breathtaking views.
3. No cunning hide or interesting twist.
4. No rare difficulty/terrain rating for all you trying to complete your d/t matrix!
5. No room for TBs/Geocoins or any interesting swag. In fact it contains nothing more than a logbook.

The cache is simply a white film canister in a small brown fabric bag (for geoflage - I don't want muggles finding it either!) and is placed under a small plank of wood next to a footpath sign. There are a few nettles near GZ as well for a further deterrent. In fact, here's a photo of GZ:

This cache only serves to increase your total finds and possibly to bring you that warm feeling when you find a nice tick next to it on the list of nearest caches to match all the other ticks you've acquired. Of course we all love to see another smiley on the map too!

If you do succumb to the temptation to find this cache, please share your reasons in your log! Should you visit and really can't find the cache, please message me to let me know.

This cache was inspired by one of the same name I ahem - accidentally - found by Eclectic Penguin, and this listing is based on his. There are dozens of others around the world of the same theme but only a handful within the UK at time of publishing.
