+harrogate hunters Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 After recent heavy rains, and swelling of rivers in North Yorkshire on Thursday/Friday, I was worried about one of my boxes on my new Skipt 'un Scramble multi-cache, which resides in the bank of a river. After a visit this morning (Sat) I found the box, in its original location , but obviously looking at the surrounding reeds, this box has been at least 2-3 feet underwater. Its a good job the tree roots kept in place. What I am commenting on is a big thank you to Lakeland Plastics and snap lock boxes ! Despite being underwater for 24-48 hours the contents were as dry as a bone.... I know the manufacturers do comment that they are watertight.... but isnt that keeping water in not out ! I would recommend these boxes to all other cachers.... (and no I do not have any ties or links with Lakeland Plastics) Quote Link to comment

Leoness Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Crikey! That means the river must have been VERY high, to have covered the cache. When I found it, it was a good 6-8ft above the water level. Quote Link to comment
