This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Hanoosh: Hi

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as one that may need attention.

It would appear that this cache may benefit from some attention by the cache owner as it has either not been found for a while or there is a reported issue with the cache. May I ask that you check the cache to confirm it is still in situ and/or deal with any maintenance required and/or give an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find.

If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling the cache.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.) or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem.

You are permitted a reasonable amount of time - generally, up to 4 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.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

If you no longer wish to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I do not receive it. Posting a reviewer note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived. Here is the link to the relevant part of the guidelines Ownership after publication.

Regards

Geocache Description:

Hillhouse Woods No. 2

This is an amazing little woods and a fantastic walk for you all to enjoy


The Friends of Hillhouse Wood is a group of local residents who work with The Woodland Trust to look after this beautiful remnant of ancient woodland on the edge of West Bergholt near Colchester. Every year Hillhouse Wood provides a stunning display of bluebells, along with orchids and a variety of other woodland flowers. It is also one of the best places in north Essex to hear the song of the nightingale, amidst those of many other songbirds. There are also colonies of rare butterflies including the white letter hairstreak. Altogether a very special place. The Friends perform two main roles. We organise regular work parties during the winter. These maintain the paths, clear scrub and improve wildlife habitats. We also run a series of wildlife walks throughout the year. These cover such areas as mammals, fungi, moths, bats, spring flowers and birds. All are welcome to come along. Hillhouse Wood is a 10-15 minute walk from the village. It lies towards the end of the farm track that runs down the side of the old church. Members of the Friends receive a newsletter three times year containing news about the wood and the activities of the Friends.
