brucewwnz: I called by today for a pre-WENZ check. The first issue I wanted to check out was access to the cache site. There is now a large map near a new parking area. To me, it doesn't seem totally clear whether or not walkers are allowed to use the track but it was not designated "shared access" as some others shown on the map are. However, there is nothing on the signs on the ground to clearly suggest the track is for cyclists only. The track is certainly wide enough to accommodate multi-users up to the cache site but then narrows soon after.
The second issue was the cache site itself. I was surprised to see gorse growth has been rampant since my last visit and it was very difficult to get to where my GPSr was directing me. I persevered and made my way to what I believe was the correct hint object but could not locate the cache. I had a bit of a look around for a possible replacement site but the only ones I could see that were well clear of gorse were very close to the track and I didn't want to put searching cachers in conflict with mountain bike riders.
In view of both issues, I have reluctantly decided to archive the cache. It's a bit of a shame as it was the first one I placed and I was very happy with the initial set up. However, developments have certainly had a dramatic impact on the area and left it no longer suitable for a cache.
