From the Archive: The First Geocache of Chiswick Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ or through a Needs Archive Log as one that may need attention. I notice that no action has been taken by the owner, to correct the issue. Please, could the owner please check this cache and give an indication of when it may be sorted out. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling it.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.) or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem.
    You are permitted a reasonable amount of time --generally, up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are?

Please do not e-mail me with the update. It may be one of my colleagues who checks your cache again and they won't know you contacted me. It's a good idea with a cache you've disabled and which may take a while to sort out to post a note once a month so people (and reviewers!) know you are still dealing with it. This will also prevent us from chasing you up and sending more e-mails!

Geocache Description:


This is the commemorative geocache of the very first geocache of Chiswick.

 

Hogarths Hideaway, GCGJRZ, was placed in this park behind the cascade at N 051° 28.968' W 000° 15.524', the location is now unavailable to the public to protect the cascade, on 2 August 2003 by TinWha. It was a traditional cache, its D/T was 2/2, was regular in size and had no attributes. It was active for three hundred and twenty-one days, had a single favourite point and a total of seventeen finds.

The FTF belongs to cain mosni who found it on 8 August 2003 and it was last seen on 12 April 2004 by kewfriend who hid the second cache of Chiswick in the Gunnersbury Triangle (that cache has also been archived). From the original seventeen only three people geocache actively today and it was one cacher’s very first one to find. After two DNFs it was archived on 20 June 2004. With the disappearance of the cache three travelbugs were also lost: TB17A3 from Massachusetts, USA; TBG3E1 and TBG4TV from Arizona, USA.
