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

Bread and Beer

When you find this cache you’ll be near Cardington Lock, on the site of an old mill.

Cardington Mill stood in this place for at least a thousand years, changing over time with many repairs and alterations. In 1086, the Domesday survey valued it at £2 and 100 eels. In the 1700s a brewing magnate bought it. The mill’s waterwheels drove huge grinding stones to make grain-flours for beer and bread. You can find out more from the waterside panel.

The locks provide a safe, gentle way for boats to navigate gradients along the course of the river and played an important role in increasing waterborne trade locally.

These days, you might see canoeists paddling to and from Castle Mill and Willington Locks. Why not take a stroll along? Keep an eye out for shimmering kingfishers and dragonflies, for heron and moorhens.
