davester Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) That's it. I give up. Can't be bothered with caching any more. After all, it's only tupperware....... But seriously, I am soon to be leaving the North Staffs area, so aren't going to be able to look after my five caches. It would be a shame to see them be abandoned, so willing adopters please apply. They are:- The Green Drive - near Tittensor, Staffs. Regular cache. Bluebells by the M6 - near Tittensor, Staffs. Regular cache. The Loaded Gun - near Leek, Staffs. Micro cache. The Murderous Axe - near Buxton, Derbyshire. Micro cache. On top of t'Kinder - The Big Cup - North East corner of the Kinder Scout plateau, near the A57 Snake Pass/Snake Inn, Derbyshire. Regular cache. I have emailed Lactodorum and Eckington about this, and having no reply I guess there is no problem. Grab 'em while they're fresh.

Can't be bothered with answering e-mails from Davester any more. After all he's only flesh and blood......... Seriously though, I'm sorry that I didn't get back to you Dave. Just put it down to old age and senility Of course there's no problem and when you get any takers just let me know and I'll make the arrangements. Peter Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I haven't even done these yet but am less than 50 miles away (south Derby). I'll take a few if you get nobody nearer. MarcB, MarkGPX, Deegs??? Si Quote Link to comment

davester Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 bump. Still looking for volunteers for adopting:- On top of t'Kinder - The Big Cup - North East corner of the Kinder Scout plateau, near the A57 Snake Pass/Snake Inn, Derbyshire. Regular cache. The Loaded Gun - near Leek, Staffs. Micro cache. Just sorting the others out still, if you've emailed me. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I could take the loaded gun if nobody else wants it. I have one on the Roaches very nearby . But if anybody else fancys it shout up :huh: . Brian Quote Link to comment
davester Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Still not sorted out The Green Drive - near Tittensor, Staffs. Regular cache. Bluebells by the M6 - near Tittensor, Staffs. Regular cache. The Loaded Gun - near Leek, Staffs. Micro cache. The Murderous Axe - near Buxton, Derbyshire. Micro cache. Deego was the only one to say he'd take The Loaded Gun. Both aRRKS and snerdbe have offered to take The Green Drive and Bluebells by The M6. And as above, one4zorro offered to take The Green Drive and The Murderous Axe. The big stickler is The Green Drive and Bluebells by The M6. Who's going to fight for them? Quote Link to comment

It's about as far from Edale as you can get on Kinder Scout unfortunately and it's already been adopted. Thanks for the offer though. Quote Link to comment
+one4zorro Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 If either aRRKS or snerdbe want The Green Drive and Bluebells we would be happy to back out of those. We are pretty busy with a couple we are planning at the moment. Does that mean we are left with The Murderous Axe? Cheers Martin and Julie. Quote Link to comment
+DesG Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Both aRRKS and snerdbe have offered to take The Green Drive and Bluebells by The M6. We have no problem letting aRRKS have them, they are probably closer to them. Des & Bren Quote Link to comment

Oh well I was using that as the only excuse I could think of for going up to the boggiest plateu in the walking world as well. And I have just viewed it's location on OS map on Anquet and it aint exactly a quick trot to get to while my mate is talking to others so thanks for letting me know.

+one4zorro Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) We live nearer than both of you, but are reluctant to take them because we may be moving in the not too distant future. Arrks if you take them, but need someone do do any quick maintenance just let is know. Martin and Julie Edited February 25, 2005 by one4zorro Quote Link to comment
