Novel Cache: Flush Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mario McTavish: OK so I came out today to do some maintenance on some of the caches along this little trail, and decided to check on the state of the others whilst here.

Having seen that most of them weren't put back where they were originally hid or were sadly in a poor state of repair I've elected to archive them. The downside to these 'novel' caches is that once the container is broken or missing then the cache really needs to go as it's no longer relevant.

This cache was originally concealed under some branches but there has been some extensive trimming back and it's now exposed. I have removed the cache now.

Thanks to all the finders over the years.

Geocache Description:

A disguised container with log book and pencil.

This cache is dedicated to the novel Flush by Virginia Woolf. Virginia Woolf's fictional biography of Flush the spaniel must make him the most famous dog in literature. Flush was Elizabeth Barrett Browning's beloved cocker spaniel, and she herself wrote two poems about him. Poor Flush has to contend with being dog-napped, having to accept Robert Browning into his life and then the Browning's baby. He travels from London to Italy, making him a well traveled pooch, also he has to endure the Spiritualist craze of the time.

This book gives you an insight into Elizabeth Barrett Browning's life and the love she had for her dog, as well as a dog's view of living with humans. Definitely the lightest of Woolf's works this is also possibly the most accessible.

This is one of the Novel Cache series where we have tried to match the cache container or hitch-hiker to the title of a book, sometimes a bit of lateral thinking is required to spot the connection! We hope you have as much fun finding them as we did when we laid them! Most of the log containers are micro buffalo types but there are a few that are big enough for some small swaps.
