+Simply Paul Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Gone but not forgotten: GCGEGC - Old Father Thames by oompaloompas. My first cache find in London, and it's still on my watchlist so I can check if someone's replaced it, or put a new cache in the same area. So far, no one has. I think a similar thread ran some time (years?) ago, but I'd like to know if you have any fondly remembered caches that are sadly no longer with us. You never know, a new/local cacher might just come up with something in a similar vein/reuse the area/borrow the idea/hide their own cache inspired by the lost original. If you're going to plagiarise, a great vanished cache is the one to copy! Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Fossil Transfer is an old classic (I think that there was even a "reunion" of finders a while ago!). It's archived, but probably still in place. Quote Link to comment
+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I always loved this one - Under Hawkstor even though it had been archived before I started caching. Why? Just read the logs - it was never easy to find.... and yep it inspired a new cache nearby 130 Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Fossil Transfer is an old classic (I think that there was even a "reunion" of finders a while ago!). It's archived, but probably still in place. A great cache, DNFs posted by some of the greatest names in UK geocaching (and Hornet) ---------------------- I do apologise. Having read through the logs, Hornet DID find it. It was the short hairy one who DNFed it. Edited September 28, 2007 by SlytherinAlex Quote Link to comment

+Rosie's Rangers Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Definitely Trek to the Severn. The Coppernogins are well known for putting an enormous amount of effort into their caches, and this one has been our all time favourite and will take some beating. Hope they come back to caching again soon Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Back in October 2005 I had great fun trying to find Millennium Bridge, London. I wish it could be replaced because I'd like another go at it! MrsB Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) I vote for the Tomb Raider series out of Brookwood Cemetery. I loved this series and the cemetery itself. I took a number of new cachers there for their first finds and it was enjoyable just to follow them and re-walk it. And as they've come up in a previous post recently, The Monopoly Series.

+Simply Paul Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Just reminded myself of The Little Cemetery Safari by sparafucile. Anyone else who did it will remember it fondly, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Just reminded myself of The Little Cemetery Safari by sparafucile. Anyone else who did it will remember it fondly, I'm sure. Amen to that! I remember reaching forward to carry out the instructions, not really believing I was actually doing it... I mean, things like that just don't have secret catches that reveal hidden compartments, do they? Mindblowing.... Quote Link to comment
+The Bolas Heathens Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Vote #4 - we always intended to do the cache but never quite got round to it. Now it's too late Definitely Trek to the Severn.

+Dobunnis Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 In regard to Trek to the Severn we contacted Coppernogins with the intention of adopting this cache. Unfortunately all of the containers have been removed so taking over the cache is now a no go. But…….that now means that it is now possible to set a new series of caches in the area as the old cache had many people planning to do it. We’ll look at setting a new Trek to the Severn (which we hope will be just as challenging and popular as the original) as it was on our door step. Carolyn Quote Link to comment
