The Real Cash Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Weary Banker & Bookworm: When I set this cache over 8 years ago I left real cash in the 35mm tubes as part of the game. I said at the time "The cache will prove what an honest truthful set Geocachers really are."

Someone had previously taken one of the tubes full of coins and now the other two have disappeared.

Geocaching used to be such an honourable pursuit.

I am archiving the cache and will recover the container the next time that I am in the area.

Geocache Description:

Cogden beach is a popular area, especially in season, but this walk takes you away from the throng to a spot where you should find the necessary peace and quiet for this cache. The cache will prove what an honest truthful set Geocachers really are.

Parking at N50.41.684 W002.42.361 used to be free but as from 2007 The National Trust now make a charge to non-members. Even so, this could still be busy 'in season'.

From the car park, a round trip of just under a mile will be required.

The cache is a 5 litre plastic olive barrel containing details of a task.

You may need a couple of spare ENGLISH coins to fully enjoy this one.

This is a large container and suitable for bigger swaps and those larger travel bugs that you have got stuck with.

When you have finished the cache, rather than retracing your steps, why not drop down and walk back along the beach. This area is a favourite with beach anglers and you will have the chance to play the local game of 'Bait the Fisherman'. The rules of this old Dorset game are as follows:-

a) Approach any of the Anglers and say "Hey,that guy has caught far more fish than you".

b) Score points for the response as below

  • 1 point......." Oh that is wonderful news and has really made my day for he is such a good decent fellow"
  • 2 points......"Ummmph"
  • 5 points......"Go away"
  • 10 points..... for each 4 lettered or unprintable word
  • 20 points..... for threat of physical violence
  • 50 points......for actual physical violence.

This is a game for adults only.Highest scores have been obtained from all night fishermen after a particularly cold night or on days with icy wind and driving rain blowing off the sea.

Note.....It is inadvisable to play this game on the way to the cache as it may proved difficult to open with broken fingers.

FEB 2007--FOLLOWING A COMPLAINT (SEE LOGS JAN/FEB) I HAVE MOVED THE CACHE ONTO THE GROUND AT THE BASE OF THE WALL, AT THE SAME COORDINATES.
