They all started somewhere Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mikki-b: Given is looks like it's gone missing, along with the reported appearance of 'private' signs, (They weren't there when I placed the the cache), I think it's time to archive this cache.

Reading football club have bought the nearby golf course, which has now closed. I suspect this is the cause of the 'private' signs going up and think that access to the lake will be restricted in the future. Given the uncertainty of what's happening in the area, I'm not going to to replace a missing cache until I know there will be public access to it. I'll keep an eye on the area.

Shame for this one to go.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates, that is for the middle of Bearwood Lake. The cache is placed next to the path around the lake, with a lovely view across the lake. It's a lovely peaceful place.
The cache is a medium sized plastic box covered in black duct tape. When placed the cache contained some swaps and a log book. Please trade fair and replace as found.

Having got to know some of the local cachers through that well known social networking site, I decided it was time for another cache.

This is NOT a puzzle cache, it just requires you to do some research on some of your fellow cachers.

Some of them have hundreds, if not thousands, of finds to their name. However we all started somewhere, hence the cache name.

For this you need to look for the first cache find for each of the following cachers. The code for the cache contains a number you require. To ensure you are looking at the right cache I've added the rest of the code with the number you require substituted as a ? so there's no confusion.

A = Defiant. GC2X5?B (fka Algore)
B = The QCs GCPM4?
C = Philmyboots GC2CD?V
D = Nadaj GCH1Z?
E = "Bazzer" GC?BKMG
F = Rainbow's End GCRY?X
G = Phoenix-Flame GC1AQ7?
H = NomAndJeep GC?MVAC
I = CUIYC GC1A1P?
J = Misty's Muskateers GCDB?8
K = Sandvika GCQH?P
L = Katherinealee GC1C18?
M = Mountainash GCTV?A
N = Londar GC1?DHD
O = Mikki-b GC?XEGF

The cache can be found at the following coordinates

N 51 K(L+F).BI(C+D+H)
W 000 (E+M+O)M. (J-A)GN

All the cachers concerned have given their permission for their names to be used for this cache (and a big thanks to all of you), but please note
THERE IS NO NEED TO CONTACT INDIVIDUAL CACHERS SO PLEASE DON'T!!
