I’ve just spent three weeks in Cornwall and have 11 logs to enter at some stage but have been requested by various members of TeamS-J to mention the quality or rather the lack in quality of some of the caches. Grandma S-J complains that the stuff I put in is far too good compared with the stuff the kids take out. I’m starting to see her point. One cache had a half a crab shell in it, or it would have been half a crab shell but by the time the lid was pressed down it was lots of bits of a crab shell. Another example was a series of post cards with a peg attached. I have also come across countless breakfast cereal plastic tat or half broken toys. On the other hand, another cache had a Mighty Bean in it, this was small cheap but oh so desirable to a six year old. It’s the “hidden (geo) treasure(cache)” that gets the kids out there, I just wish it didn’t involve so much tat.
For tat also include broken, dirty, used, copied(tapes & cd’s), cheap, useless, pointless, out of date, contrary to guidelines.
