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

Guidelines:**"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."**

Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden opposite the beautiful Strensall Common. A great place for a family work amongst some unique countryside. The cache is easily accessible with ample parking nearby.

Strensall Common nature reserve is a large area of heathland close to York. It covers over 5km². There are over a 150 plant species including marsh cinquefoil, marsh gentian, round-leaved sundew and petty whin. There are over 60 species of bird including curlew, whinchat, green and great spotted woodpecker. If insects take your fancy, the area hosts green and purple hairstreak butterflies, bog bush crickets and glow worms. Sheep and Cattle often graze on the land. There are numerous clearly marked walks through the common of varying lengths.

The cache is hidden on the opposite side of the road to the common in a place that you would expect!

The cache is a medium sized geocaching tupperware container that I got for my 7th birthday. The cache contains various swaps as well as a first to find coin.

We hope you like our cache and enjoy the Common.
