As in previous years, the idea is that the cache will remain active until April/May when it may be downsized to a micro. The original cache log and container will reappear in a different location in October/November 2016.
Please re-hide carefully and check that the cache cannot be seen from any angle, whilst still looking natural.
The cache contents are on a Christmas theme and we ask that you please continue this idea with your swaps.
We wish you good luck, a very Happy Christmas and successful caching in 2016.
