Geocache Description:

Not for land lubbers

This cache was originally set up for Tick & Nammie's 'Go and Get Em 3!!!' (GCG2YY) for the event on 6-7th July 2003.

I put it in before breakfast early one morning, not due to over-enthusiasm but more to make sure no-one else saw me! When I placed the cache I could see hot air balloons being launched just a couple of hundred metres away (they like the early morning).

It is only 75m from another (now gone) very popular cache but with a significantly different difficulty rating!

Make sure that you plot the cache carefully and plan before heading out here.  To avoid the crowds, I'd suggest early morning or even at night if you are really adventurous!

Once you get there, check the maintanance log photo  It's an ammo box.

   In winter it looks completely different but is also much easier to find.

When set up it contained:

  • Spirit of the West music CD
  • Lightstick
  • Garden hose Y piece connector
  • Mosquito net hat
  • Catapult
  • Elastic propelled glider
  • Navigation CDs
  • Miniature wind chimes
  • Flashlight with batteries
But none of it remains

Please let me know if it needs maintenance.

Suggested transport below (that was how I got there minus the rubber ring).
