Commuter Cache: Park Grange Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Commuter Cache group placed along all three routes of the Sheffield Supertram- see the whole of Sheffield on one caching route!!!

There are puzzle caches dotted throughout the route in order to keep you active in both mind and body.

Enjoy!!!

p.s. This series will be a test of your stealth skills as these areas are generally very busy, so you must be as subtle as possible. (We found ourselves 'tying our shoes' a lot)

A pair of caching tweezers will also be an essential on this route as there are a few nano's about.
