Just to let you all know... I posted it as a dnf on the log and the owner has since closed it down and moved it and reopened it. He also has reported the area to be cleaned up and I meanwhile have found the cache. Thanks guys x

I love this!!!! Just to let you all know... I posted it as a dnf on the log and the owner has since closed it down and moved it and reopened it. He also has reported the area to be cleaned up and I meanwhile have found the cache. Thanks guys x

Thanks mulvaney. It hasn't put me off caching, I've had so much fun so far and can't wait to find some more. I'm a bit disappointed how some people seem to think this isn't a concern but each to their own. I'm just not really sure where to go from here. I guess I could call the local council in the morning. I dunno... *sigh*

Falling down cliffs and hurting yourself on rocks and things is a bit different tho isnt it? Or is that just me? If you see a cache in a terrain 5 then you know what to expect. You dont however expect to rummage away in amongst trees in a terrain 1 and then find you've been stabbed by a needle and could have potentially caught god knows what. Or even worse your child finds it?? Would that not make you sick???

So nobody actually goes to the cache to find it and make sure its safe?? Or thats its even there? I want to be a reviewer. I think if I was I would've told the owner to move it somewhere a bit more child/people friendly

Does it not fall under the responsibility of a reviwer to check out these sort of things too tho? What does a 'reviewer' actually do? and how do you become one?

I've posted this here as well as in another section too as I'm new to the forum and wasnt sure where to post... Hello, Im new to geocaching (only been doing it a month) I woke up this morning to find a new cache in my are that happened to be on my route to and from work. I go passed this place every day, and although its normally quite messy and not really an ideal hang out, I didn't realise how bad it was until I started looking for cache. Within minutes rather than finding the cache I came across 3 dirty needles, copious amounts of broken glass along with empty beer cans and bottles. I wouldn't even recommend this to CITO as theres just no telling how dangerous it is. I posted a small DNF log on the cache page in question saying that basically I didn't find it because I didn't want to hang around. Im not quite sure what else to do tho. Should I report it to some one? If so who? And what do I say? I wanted to warn people because I normally take my 2 nieces caching with me and I'd hate for any children to find the needles (or anyone for that matter.) What do I do?
