Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This cache is a specimen tube placed approximately 1.5m / 5ft above ground level. Most of my caches are easy to find. This cache, however, is deliberately different. Solving the code should be easy for those that recognise the theme on which it is based, but may take a lot longer for those that don't. Please don't leave any hints, however subtle, in your logs. Also, please don't post any photos of the cache, logbook, area, etc.

Sorry, at 1.5m, this cache is not reachable by wheelchair cachers. So, if this applies to you, please email me if you crack the code and can get to GZ.
