The container was put in location back in June 2005. We announced in a log on another cache that we had placed the container in a little known Nature Reserved and that the site would go live once we had chance to do a suitable puzzle.
One particular group of Geocachers deduced where we had placed the container and went looking. They found it a few days after we had placed it.
So they are sort of FTF. Fortunately we had not placed the FTF certificate, a certificate is now there and up for grabs.
I have suggested that the group of Geocachers in question email me the answers to the questions above (to which they have no prior knowledge) before re visiting the cache in an attempt to be officially FTF.
I have left their entry in the log book as it makes interesting reading.
Enjoy the Cache.
