P-P-P-P-PICK UP A PENGUIN Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Tim & June: We have recently checked the area and the undergrowth has been completely cleared where this cache was hidden, as it was a puzzle cache and the whole story/clues would have to be changed we have decided to archive the cache.

Hopefully we will be able to place another one close to this location at some stage in the future.

“Let me see” said Holmes,


Aha! As I suspected, a well-educated individual with an eye for detail, beautifully hand written in straight lines, every detail is perfect with all the t’s crossed, the i’s dotted and on fine parchment too. But notice that there are no capital letters Watson. He has told us everything we need know.

I can tell you exactly where the Penguin has been left and as usual, it’s elementary my dear Watson
