Almost on the Boundary (or "How to Hug a Lake") Traditional Cache
Mario McTavish: I've replaced/relocated this cache a fair few times now and it goes missing fairly quickly.
It's had a good run but it's time to go.
Thanks to all the finders over the years.

A (hopefully) easy-to-find, standard type cache, on the Buckinghamshire boundary with London.
MCL Devizes another great cache location...Lets get this straight: This is not meant to be a difficult challenge.
The cache resides close to the boundary referred to in the title. There is convenient parking within a few minutes' walk, at the following coordinates: N51 31.121 W0 29.471
Enjoy this one in its quiet location. Also enjoy the lake. And enjoy the fact that you are less than 100metres inside London, as the title suggests, *almost* on the boundary. The lake, incidentally, is called Little Britain Lake, but why?....I leave that one for you to work out yourself!
[UPDATE 20th Jan 2006]OH DEAR OH DEAR... since writing this cache page in 2002, the BBC have launched a hugely successful TV series called "Little Britain". So I feel I ought to state right now that the name of the lake has NOTHING to do with the TV show. So there. Think again!
Anyway, lets get on with the hunt: The cache is in a small ammo box. It is located just above ground level, and the only thing I would say is be prepared to be discreet when looking, so as not to draw attention to the cache.
[UPDATE 19th July 2003] Checked out the cache on my way back from an event cache in Winchester and everything seems to be in order except the plastic bag has gone, but no matter, they are best not wrapped in bags anyway. The lid does appear to be keeping the water out quite adequately, since the cache has now survived a complete winter. The "dampness" mentioned in one log appears to have been cured, but I notice that the ziplock bag the logbook used to be in is no longer there, so if anyone reading this and planning to do the cache could take along a ziplock bag and put it in it I would be most grateful. :)
[UPDATE 15th Nov 2003] As requested a new logbook has been installed.
[UPDATE 23 Feb 2009] Old logbook to be retrieved soon. Is it really 7 years since I placed this cache? Incredible...
[UPDATE 15 Sep 2013] New cache container installed because old one was cracked and leaking. How the local environment has changed over 11 years!
