Dropped Off 2/6/2008 Sir PhilPamAndRob placed it in Alta Vista I - Liverpool highest United Kingdom - 7.38 miles  Visit Log

There are very few caches in Liverpool, the county town of Merseyside, and virtually all are micros. However, this new cache appeared in January and is large enough to accommodate TBs and coins. So in order to score Country Town point, it really had to be this cache.

I picked this up from, Home Sweet Home cache in HzelS's front garden. As it hasn't yet been moved from the last location I'm just writing a note, and will do the retrieve later.

As soon as I got it home it scored points by meeting a SE TB Racer (Flash Harry) - photo uploaded of them together!

We took a photograph of this next to Chester Challenge a nano in a county town so think it should be awarded plenty of points. Here is a photo outside Chester Library (although to be fair it could be Pieman's)

As a rival TB I should of course throw it away 😁 but being the nice guy I am I will take it to its first county town for a photo.
