GC82Q51 Village Hall Series #315 - West Parley (Multi-cache) in Southern England, United Kingdom created by t.a.folk

This cache has been archived.

t.a.folk: When we first placed this cache in Jan 2019 there were a few stinging nettles and a live tree at GZ, which had some Ivy growth. A number of maintenance visits to trim back the vegetation kept the access relatively clear. On a chance visit today, we saw that the vegetation has now "won" and the cache has "lost". The vegetation, mainly rampant Blackberry runners and high stinging nettles have taken over.
We placed the cache here as there is no suitable, for us, any other location for GZ. So reluctantly we have archived it.

Thanks to the 82 finders for visiting.
