Technically it was hidden under a piece of black volcanic glass at the base of the wall, so we can forgive him!!! My major concern would be.......Metal tin....are you mad??!!!

+Alibags Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 All of these are true! You go to see the new Pride and Prejudice film and during one scene think "Oh, I know where she is, there's a cache near there". At Christmas you cannot resist the temptation to hide small items beneath the Christmas tree in a cunningly constructed nest of tinsel. Plastic tat = treasure (and you house fills with pink things, not all of which are pink!) You give your address to people as co-ordinates (has happened to me twice this week!). You give directions to your house as "past 'Fly By', past the turn for 'Gravity Hill', along the A41, not as far as 'Span Span Span' and turn off for 'Whats that Smell', but go past it and turn as if you were doing 'I Spy'...." etc You are dying of the worst hangover of your life, but you still manage to drag yourself out of the house to do just one cache, because otherwise your day would be 'wasted'.
