What the Dickens! Mystery Cache

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

Brenda

Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the given location, but within half a mile. It is a green bison tube.

To the day when the heads were to fall, I might have known this and seen this, and known you and seen you, any time these years. In a Minute, number eight thousand and forty, you had had patience for a month, at most. “I have to give,” the Ghost replied, “the circumstance that some people had lately died in the streets.” The rough mental notes made in the first minutes to the misconduct and most improper behaviour of Mr Mantalini devoted themselves to the families of the important functionaries from the dockyard. I seemed to have boots on, and to be dangling them all against the edges of the stairs.

Congratulations to darkskill for being FTF.


This is a new version of a cache I set last year, where the puzzle proved popular but the location of the final cache was a poor choice. This one should be better.

As far as I'm aware, there's no particular Charles Dickens connection to Cambridge, but his son was a student at Trinity Hall, hence the placement of the cache icon. The final cache is placed near a street name that appears in one of his books, but it's the London one of the same name.


This cache is part of the Master of Mystery #21 Perth, Western Australia.
