+BeadyStu Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 We found the cache in the attached picture within 20 meters of The Big Charter (GCGDJG) N 51° 26.332 W 000° 33.824 in Runnymede. The cache not resemble any of the pictures or logs of GCGDJG. The identifiable items in the cache were candles, condoms and a very rotted note book. Unfortunatly I cannot search archived caches in the area and it does not exist on opencaching. I intend to dispose of it. Does anyone know what it is or who owns it? Quote Link to comment
dodgydaved Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 If it was anywhere near : N 51° 26.606 W 000° 34.086 I have a good idea as to what it could be.......GC1CD7, last found in June 2009 but seemingly in good condition then. Quote Link to comment

Fraid not, it is within 20 meters of the co-ordinates in my first post. Last year I found a multi (GC1A9TR) in exactly the same place as GC1CD7 with the same name. It was also archived and moved to opencaching.org by the owner. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure you are correct that the one you found is not Robin's cache, which started off at the top of the hill but was moved onto NaviCaching and shifted some distance down the hill more than 10 years ago. To the best of my knowlege Robin's NaviCache is still in place. And I'm also sure it's not my cache, which is now listed on opencaching.org.uk and was in good condition on my last maintenance visit a few weeks ago. When I placed my cache I knew nothing about Robin's previous occupation of the site, as it predated my entry into caching by 6 years! I did discover the coincidence when I started NaviCaching and found Robin's cache in its new location. The Big Charter was the very first cache we found, and "for old times sake" we revisited it in May of this year when nearby. If you look back at the logs you will see that the cache "went missing" in April 2004 and was replaced in "a slightly different location". I suspect what you found was the original cache.

Rgds, Andy I'm not convinced. If you read the log a bit more closely kennamatic did not replace or move it before it began being found again. Also the photos taken back in 2003 resemble the cache which I found earlier this year and not the rotten clip lock in the photo. Quote Link to comment
Deceangi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I believe you might have found the remains of a unpblished cache, the CO who has never logged in since the cache was submitted for review. That was over 15 months ago. A possible conformation of this is the cache name Coopers Hill XXX and the first line of the description "Not one for the kids... Over 16s only." which would seem to fit in with the contents you found. with a hint of "Look under the first step of the uphill side of the bridge" The coordinates placing it well within 20m of The Big Charter (GCGDJG) Deci Quote Link to comment

+Gushoneybun Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thats definatly sounds like it. Are you able to e-mail the owner for permission to remove it? I would suggest that if the owner has any sentimental attachment to the plastic box and its rotten contents they would have been out to retrieve it many months ago. Why not recycle it as a new cache somewhere nice Quote Link to comment

+Bear and Ragged Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Cache has been relocated to a large green container with two wheels in Egham Coordinates? I'm sure the reviewer will make you re-list it as a new cache, rather than change the coordinates... Quote Link to comment
+BeadyStu Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 You would be very welcome to come and muggle my big green cache anytime. Pm me for coordinates. You will need to be quick though. Runnymede council are speed caching very early tomorrow morning with their big noisy truck. Quote Link to comment

It surely has to win the award for the worst cache of all time? Edited December 19, 2011 by Happy Humphrey Quote Link to comment
