Cache with holes in a pipe...

[hautecouture]

I have heard of a cache which consists of a pipe (in the water) with holes in it that have to be plugged so that the logbook can be retrieved from it.

Im really intregued by this and I wonder if anyone knows where it is.....(I don't know if there is more than one out there or not.)

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

You could try the following cache GC1B6Q6. Not quite the same but similar principle.

There are a few like this (off the top of my head I can't recall any... to many caches... ahgghh!!)]

 

Sorry..

 

I'm told though they are quite easy to do if you are an accomplished flautist...

Try searching for H2O (http://coord.info/GC1196Q) by Messe, and the tribute "Messe-ing about in the water" (http://coord.info/GC15GRM) - both of which may or may not involve something similar to what you describe...

Oxfordshire (I think) and Northants.

I have done a couple along these principles:

 

GCWBXQ HEP (Hydro Ejective Power) Cache

GC1M8C5 Underground Trains In Somerset

 

Both of these are in Somerset. I may set one in Oxfordshire in the not too distant future.

 

Well worth a visit if you in the area

Also in Somerset:

 

You've Found It, Now What? GCWBXM

GCWBXQ HEP (Hydro Ejective Power) Cache

GC1M8C5 Underground Trains In Somerset

Thanks both of you.... saves me looking them all up before recommending them. I enjoyed these ones.

I don't recall Underground Trains In Somerset being a water pipe type cache - it was just a tube fixed to a fence. The bottom unscrews, I seem to remember....

 

I, however, do have one as a stage of one of my caches. But I'm not telling you which one

[+Coppers Lot]

I recommend the one mentioned by Milvus-Milvus above.... one of my most enjoyable finds I think.

I did not try to unscrew it - Having done the water technique on the two others like this in Somerset I used it here, probably helped having 5 litres of water in the back of the car. Seemed a sensible way at the time.

 

More than one way to skin a cat

In Dorset try "Water Torture" and Chinese Take Away" by Octopus & Bear (who incidentally, always set really good caches)

It was just a tube with a log rolled up in the bottom when I found it - filling it with water would've given me a water filled tube, and a very, very soggy log

I have no intention of disclosing exactly which cache it is but there's one in the Winter Hill area of Lancashire that matches the OP's description...

My parents and I have just dont the Messeing about near water by TAG for our milestone and It was absolutely brilliant!!

[+maxkim]

There is / was one near Newcastle that required water as you describe... not sure which cache it was ...M

[+spooky_luke]

One in Devon that I know of is GC1MQ6R - Had great fun doing it!

There is one on the Devils Dyke Circular just north of Brighton...A truely fantastic series IMHO

[+teamhillside]

Not done it yet, but I suspect this one is a similar process:-

Try VICTIM OF MISPLACED DISPLACEMENT

GC241JW It's one of mine and has been a fun cache for me as all I do is laugh at the logs while others get wet.
