Between the Sticks Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

FamousEccles: Sadly, time to start saying goodbye to this cache along with nearby caches in the FF40 series.

Massive thanks to everyone who took the time to solve the puzzle and visit the cache itself.

The plan is to begin by archiving FF40 #22 to #27 (plus other nearby caches) which have been adversely affected by recent forestry activities. We will archive the remainder of theFF40 series in the coming weeks.

Happy caching. FE.

Geocache Description:


Advance Notice

We are planning to archive the FF40 series in the coming months (plus four nearby caches), starting with the following cluster, which we hope to take in soon after 4th July 2020. The remainder of the FF40 series will be archived in the following 1-2 months. As reported elsewhere, parts of Nipper Grove, through which this string passes, have recently undergone significant levels of forestry, making some of these caches hard to access.
