So, Lucy and myself had spent the day helping out the National Trust ranger cut back some hedging and cutting steps into a steep slope for 6 hours, but even though we were tired, couldn't resist logging a cache!
It's one that Lucy had found and we were quite intrigued that the statement on the cache page that the cache was in plain sight, not hidden or camoflagued in any way! So loading up the cache coordinates on the GPS, off we trundled.
It was starting to get dark and we thought we might be pushing our luck, but Lucy spotted the cache with the help of the photos posted on the cache instructions. As it said, it's really not comoflagued or hidden, just literally 'stuck' up in a tree.
But how to get it down? We saw that there was some fishing line, two lengths of it, running from the cache. We followed these to seperated trees and immediately saw what we needed to do.
With the lines undone, Lucy gave it a bit of a prod as the weight of the cache didn't seem to be enough to bring the container down.
Here's Lucy collecting the container!
Definitely a worthwhile cache. We've not seen one like this before and found it really interesting. It's worth noting that the trees that had the nails in were trees that had previously come down - probably due to weather.
