    Write note 2/28/2007 Cache U Nutter posted a note for it   Visit Log

    Really sorry to notify you but one of your aircraft is missing.
    Spitfire Ref: TBGCK2 last seen in my cache 'A Steep Encounter' was muggled [ as was the whole cache]
    The cache is on a really steep slope with undergrowth underneath.
    The cache was last retrieved by a young lad and as he would have been out of balance at the time [it is a very difficult cacheto access] I think he could not have hidden it properly. I will have another look from the bottom but I assume that some kids would have had it as it was actually tied to a tree at the time and the wire was untied.
