Goldfinchs- Birds Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

HydrAurum: Because of the various problems that there's been in the last 6 months I've decided to archive this cache.

I had good fun climbing into the heart of the holly bush today to collect the cache container! Someone must have thrown it in while clearing away the cut-down holly debris. But when I finally got to it I discovered that (like the last finder) all the contents were covered in toothpaste or something.

On reviewing my first geocache I think placing it next to a residential road wasn't the best idea. I know that I've had to dodge many muggles before grabbing it. Also the holly bush has grown wild again and the council will probably keep cutting it back in the future. Furthermore there isn't really a good hiding place at the location anymore and rubbish keeps piling up.

However, there is a nearby location which I believe is much more suitable for a good-sized cache with trades and now that I've archived this cache I may be placing a new bird-themed replacement there.

A big thank you to all who have found it since last year and for writing your great logs.

Geocache Description:

Can you see the Goldfinches?


Located just off the path of Salsibury Grove road. The waypoint is between the 2 holly bushes that are near Vine House close.

You can park all along the road, wheelchairs would find it difficult to get to the cache.

The container is a regular size but you need to get stuck in to find it.

There is a family of Goldfinches nearby. Can you see them? or hear them? Be quiet those.There are house sparrows around the corner (next to Mytchett road) and also blue tits, robins, blackbirds and starlings around. (Not to mention the pigeons and magpies).  Check out Goldfinches for more info

There is a logbook, pencil, pencil sharpener in the container and it is crammed with stuff to trade. Please trade equally!

Stealth will be needed because of passing cars and muggles.

Well done to stoneysjl who was FTF around 9.45am on 6/4/14!!!

Good luck
