GC3KFDM Go Fish 9 (Weir Near) (Traditional Cache) in East Midlands, United Kingdom created by Pipesy

This cache has been archived.

Pipesy: Sorry to report guys but there has been substantial damage to the series. I have managed to salvage a couple of the caches but it is not worth replacing them. After a lot of deliberation I have decided it is time to archive Go Fish.

Hopefully though, I will put together some new plans and have something new out around this beautiful walk later in the year. I may reuse a couple of the caches that I actually did manage to salvage but pretty much bring some new designs out for all to enjoy.

Geocache Description:

Go Fish 9 (Weir Near)

Go Fish 9 is a 35mm film canister.

The title of the caches are enough of a hint in themselves, therefore I strongly advise trying all the caches yourselves before looking at the hint as for most of them the hint will completely give the game away!
None of the caches should need to be forced, please handle them with care and do try to replace exactly as you found them.

Welcome to Go Fish. This series has a mixture of cache varieties set along a 5 mile walk.
You want to set your sat nav's for NG23 7QL, Cottage Lane, Collingham, from there you should be able to drive down to the car park.

You will need to start at Go Fish 1 (Go Fish), when you find it you will be given further information and instructions for the series. You will have to add co-ordinates into your GPS whilst going round the series. You will need a pen to sign the logs, a bit of paper might be a good idea to take note of any bonus info. A basic torch and some binoculars might help at some points but are not of major importance and also your trusty pair of tweezers might come in handy to remove some of the log sheets, any other tools needed will be supplied.

The end of the multi cache contains the North co-ordinates for the final bonus cache,
the West co-ordinates are located in 5 of the other traditional caches around the series. You will need to take note of the letter and number at the top of the log sheets and match them up to their corresponding positions below:

N53° ??.??? (these will be found in the final stage of Go Fish 1)
W000° AB.CDE (these are in 5 of the other caches round the series)

I have tried to come up with something a little different for most of the caches, I must admit they are not all my own ideas but having done a couple elsewhere I couldn't help but steal them. Some of them may require you to use your intelligence but I'm sure you won't have a problem with that.

The terrain around the series is fairly flat thought there may be a couple of situations where you may need to climb a little. I advise walking round the whole series, half of it does go along the National Cycle Route (NCR64), but the other half is along public footpaths along the Trent Bank and alongside Langford Lowfields Nature Reserve which on a sunny day should give you plenty of wildlife to view.
Children and dogs are fine around the series although there are occasions when you will be close to the waters edge so you may need to keep an eye on them.

Listed below are the caches on the series and a few other caches on route which you may want to attempt while you are at it.
