Benjamin Screamer: Sorry, the cache is beyond my ability to repair. I'll archive it and try a different cache in a different location near the church.

Geocache Description:

IT'S 4 METRES OFF THE GROUND! FALSE FINDS WILL BE DELETED. Welcome to Churches of Melton - LDS Mk II. This church meetinghouse is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name of the church is sometimes abbreviated to LDS and sometimes members are called by the nickname Mormons. There was a magnetic mint tin cache under the gate here some years ago but it has long been archived and the CO has not replaced it, hence this Mk II version. 


This cache is as far different to the original as I could make it. It's Large rather than Micro and high rather than low. How high is it? It's four metres off the ground but hidden in plain sight and easy to see if you tilt your head up at the correct angle.

The cache has space for a log, a pen and pencil, and swag. A FTF prize awaits someone.

High Street is a busy road but there is always roadside parking available near GZ if you pull off the road. Muggle movement is very busy around the church all day Sundays (two congregations meet here for worship services) and on Tuesday nights when the youth group meets. The footpath is frequently used by locals going to and from the shopping centre.

How much stealth is needed to find this geocache? Well, that depends on how much chutzpah you bring with you. If I were looking for it I think I'd secure a ladder at GZ, put on a hi vis vest, a hard hat, a climbing belt with a strap to secure me to the tree and a bag to carry the swag, and have a go at it. Others might just climb the tree. Please be safe. Nobody is forcing you to do this. If you are reckless and get hurt here you will only have yourself to blame. On the bright side, there is almost no possibility that you will be bitten by a snake here! I'm happy to have pictures of the cache in your log.
