The Granary (Dorset) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

t.a.folk:

Gorse bushes have invaded cache site .

When we placed this cache in 2013 the cache was at a spot that had been clear felled of pines. Since then gorse bushes have grown around it
and on a rare check in late this afternoon we saw that it would not be many months before the final 10 ft to this cache this cache would be an unpleasant prickly experience .

So regretably we have removed the container and archived this cache .

Thanks to everyone who atempted this cache and all waas in good condition inside
