Ponderosa Poser Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dominicus1975: After the recent DNFs I checked on this one today, and confirmed that it's gone missing yet again. I've replaced this one countless times since I first placed it six years ago, so now it's time for it to be archived unfortunately. Thanks to the 239 cachers who have found it in its various guises.

Geocache Description:

This camouflaged nano geocache is placed in The Ponderosa, a large green open space about a mile west of Sheffield City Centre.

Caution should be taken when retrieving this cache as it's beside a path, so muggles abound! Please bring your own pen and you might also need tweezers to extract the log sheet.

The Ponderosa is a large recreation area designated as an Open Space (rather than a park) by Sheffield City Council. It covers an area of 25 acres between the districts of Upperthorpe and Netherthorpe and I was a bit surprised to find that no geocache had been placed here before this one.

During the Second World War, The Ponderosa was used as a station for barrage balloons to defend the city. Today it is a very popular space for families and others, especially on a sunny day. Thankfully a proposal to build housing on the site in the 1990s was rejected!
