When I first placed this cache I failed to accommodate for how high the river might get during summer floods. I’d chained it to the bridge to help stop it from disappearing, but that instead introduced a new problem: after a flood it’d be left hanging in a highly-visible spot and attract muggle vandalism. The net result is I’ve had to retire this cache.

Visited to check on this container and can confirm that it’s completely seized and unopenable. The end cap that used to provide it with cover (and a hiding place for a pencil) is gone, too, and this (combined with the fact that I no longer live around the corner) feels like a sign that this one needs archiving.

Following a run of DNFs I drove over here to check on this cache but it is indeed missing. As this location is no longer in walking distance of my home I’m retiring it to free up what is a pretty convenient hook for some other cacher!

Empty hook where the geocache used to hang.

One final visit to retrieve the container from this increasingly inaccessible multi. Braved copious nettle stings to get there and back the “short way”, then began a quick tour of Kidlington to retrieve any surviving clue stages. Sad to see this one go, but the epic container will live on in a future cache, someday!
