You have been selected to receive .... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

JustAlan: Went to check on this one, only to find the path to GZ overgrown and nearly impassable. Add to that the stile it was hidden under is now in a bad state of disrepair and the cache was now buried nearby under brambles, so I think it's time for this one to go.

It hasn't had many visitors over the years (and none in the last 17 months), so I assume few people have spotted it is a spam cipher. For those watching this cache, go to 'https://www.spammimic.com/decode.shtml', paste the body of the e-mail in, and press 'decode' to get the final co-ordinates. I've only seen one other cache using this cipher, which is a shame.
