Geocache Description:

Just about every time I'm at the Pearce shops, I can't help but imagine a Piranha Plant emerging from one of the 'pipes'. I've so far resisted the urge to jump down one of them with a shout of 'Wa-hoo!' to try and look for coins. If you've ever played a Super Mario game before, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't, the Mushroom Kingdom awaits! Power-up mushrooms optional. Nano size, log only

This cache has taught me a lot about cache placement, namely that a devious hiding place shouldn't come before practicability. The original hiding place suggested a pair of tweezers, although it seems that the most successful finders were those who undertook some ridiculously heavy lifting. Such a demanding task was never the intention of this cache.

Sorry to all those who spent the time travelling to and searching for the original cache, only to walk/ride/drive away in frustration.

This re-listing is therefore somewhat of a shot at redemption. The cache has been relocated but is still at the same coordinates. I hope you'll give it another try (hence the addition to the title) or check it out for the first time.

You'll need to be somewhat stealthy as the Pearce shops are very popular with muggles, especially when the restaurants are open. There's also a lot of young muggles who often play in this area, either to relieve their boredom from adult conversation at the restaurant tables, or as they come and go from the tutoring centre.

Letsa-go!
