Geocache Description:


This cache replaces 'taybee nz's' Pollard Park Cache #1 (GC50W3T) which was recently archived by the Grim Reaper (aka TheCoddiwompler) due to a string of DNFs. The cache was in a high muggle area and had been 'muggled' several times over the ten years since it was first published. Normally, in this situation, I would list it as a Premium Member Only (PMO) cache, but this is the sort of cache and location that everyone needs to be able to access, so I'm prepared to do the maintenance if this happens to the replacement.

As this is a cache that new cachers learn on, I'll give a few hints to make it easy.

Hint 1: The cache is magnetic. Note: there is a large magnet attached to the bridge at the listed coordinates, so please return it there. Just in case you can't find the original location, there are lighter magnets within the container which will allow the cache to be replaced on any ferrous material, but do try to put it back where it came from.

Hint 2: The cache can be accessed from the True Right side of the stream. If you don't know what the 'True' side of the stream is, treat this as a lesson and use Google to find out.

Hint 3: You don't need to stand in the garden to retrieve the cache, but you will need to balance on the wall.

Hint 4: The coordinates when placed were =+/-3m. I had trouble narrowing down the original cache until I stood on top of the bridge and got a good fix, then went underneath and made the find.

Please use the above hints to work out where the cache might be before trying to look for it, thus reducing the time you are looking dodgy to the muggles.

Bring your own writing impliment.

Happy hunting
