Geocache Description:

You are looking for a cylindrical canister.

This cunningly-camo'd cache is in the middle of what was a council pitch-and-putt golf course. You'd never guess it now! The title is a tribute to the British author J. G. Ballard, b. 1930 d. 2009. Access routes of massively varying difficulty from the north, east, south-west, south, and north-west.

This cache is a 2022 replacement for the original which was first placed in 2016: refinders please note, the hint has changed. It's a new kind of container, a different kind of challenge, and it's full of new swag:

1x Log and pencil
1x Ollie the Owl TB
1x compass
1x poppy brooch
1x sim card
1x quarter dollar
1x Hot Wheels zip car
1x spinner
2x Harry Potter erasers


The original cache contained: Log 1x bendy pencil (please leave, or replace with another pencil!) 1x pencil sharpener (please leave!) Plus starting swag! 1x hen's egg (careful, don't drop it!) 1x yo-yo 1x bendy pencil 1x bouncy ball 1x dinosaur 1x wobbly man 1x trolley coin keyring 1x Dolphin TB

Huge congratulations for FTF go to Supertrampz!
