Below Above - Nuts & Bolts 07 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

JestersMagpie: Firstly I will say that bats are not known to roost at this location.
What started as a disclosure of location escalated and resulted in a threat of violence caused the situation with the BA series. The political situation with the quarries is difficult with the conversationalists and vandals with geocachers in the middle, but then for other reasons the Bat conservation groups becoming involved and conducting ongoing surveys it was decided it best was to disable all the series.
There have always been guidelines especially group size. I had hope disabling would be enough to stop visits, but unfortunately not, So an oversized group visiting especially during roosting season leaves no option but to archive the series.

Geocache Description:


People love the Below Above series, so here is a real treat. 9 of them laid out in the form of a trail.

Follow the usual advice from previous Below Above caches about safety and precautions.

You will be travelling about 3 miles underground and allow 3 hours for the walking and finding the containers.
Each one is different and no further clues will be given as usual.

Once at the entrance descend the slope shaft and enter the obvious tunnel. Nuts & Bolts 01 is a short distance inside the tunnel, Nuts & Bolts 07 is 0.6 of a mile further along. There is a UV marker and the container is within 6ft. Tweezers might be required to extract the log.

Once you have replaced the cache as found you can either exit, or carry on to find caches 8 and 9.
