Geocache Description:

An easy cache in a scenic area over looking some old mine workings
(I wish I knew more about them).

I liked the look of this old mine workings and wanted to place a cache here. At the time I could not see a place for a box cache hence the micro (this may change later). The above coords should lead you to an object that hides a tool that you require to retrieve the micro which is a 35mm film canister, please take your own pen/pencil to sign the log. Once you find the tool it should be obvious what you need to do (although like I always say, what is
obvious to the hider is not always obvious to the seeker).

The spoiler photo was taken from next to the cache site. If you use the photo and match the photo to the view, you should be stood at the cache site. Please be careful when replacing the cache. Although this is a remote site, the road is busy and you do get quite a few mugglies sneaking up on you by bike.

Many thanks to Toni Travers who did some research and sent me these links. We think this is the right mine, do you know any different?
