This cache is the fifth and final in a series of 5 caches called 'Diminishing Hope'. The first 4 caches however can be attempted by themselves (as a traditional cache) without having to find the others.
If you choose to complete all 5 caches in the series you will need to seek and find the first 4 caches before attempting the 5th because each cache contains one or two digits that are needed to open the locked final cache.
However, every step of the way the caches will become more and more difficult, smaller and smaller and will have harder clues, hence the name diminishing hope. So even though you might find the first couple easy, you might end up in a pickle for the last few!

The final cache takes you to Gordon Park.
PLEASE READ FROM HERE DOWN.
This cache is a 2 part multi. The published co-ordinates ARE NOT the location of the cache but rather a compass that is needed to navigate to the actual position.
I wouldn't advise using your own GPS as a compass as it is most likely calibrated slightly different (sorry, but I'm glad I checked!)
At this point you will find a container containing an old-school compass. Once this compass is found take it and follow the directions below. (PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO RETURN THE COMPASS)
Once the compass is in hand:
1. Take 20 steps NE
2. Hit track and turn right, walk 20 steps
3. Take 25 steps E
4. Jump down the rock and take 30 steps E. You should be at a fallen tree
5. Take 30 steps NE.
6. Take 20 steps NW
You will now be within 10 metres of the geocache.
Hopefully you won't realise now that you have forgotten the numbers or have them in the wrong order. The digits will undo the 2 locks (FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, 3 digits per lock). The order of the numbers starts with the digits from DH #1 and ends with the digit from DH #4.
Please do not try and guess the locks, otherwise the locks will lock down, please don't change the combination, please don't force them and please make sure the locks go back on the correct sides.
IMPORTANT:
- DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE WITHOUT 6 DIGITS (IN ORDER) FROM PREVIOUS CACHES
- THE ACTUAL CACHE IS NOT AT THE PUBLISHED CO-ORDINATES
There's a home-made FTF coin for the FTF and apart from that....
Happy Caching :) And sorry about the wait!
