+MattyRx Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hi James, There is GCWYTE at Byron Bay - It's a pretty famous/well known lighthouse. I think the cache is temporarily missing though. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If you do a geocache name search "Got a light boy" you'll find a series of lighthouse caches around the SW tip of England. MrsB Quote Link to comment

+jgc3 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yes I understand I have a few favourite caches I visited archived, so hope they make a return someday or perhaps someone else jumps in to put one nearby. Thanks for the reply. My favourites are Riveting Newhaven and In the Firth of Forth, sadly both has been archived. Quote Link to comment
