[GCHJMP] Revisiting A Childhood Holiday Spot

April 16, 2006 by Jaz666 (852 found)
Found 65 minutes after the last one!
Yes, this was our first major stumbling block of the day.
We tried both old coords and the new ones, and had to resort to PAF!
After much sliding around in the mud we finally found it in a tree we had already examined and discounted.

I wouldn't say it is really in the base of a tree, it's more pushed up into the trunk. In the end we found the new coords are spot on.

It was lovely to revisit the Ironbridge Gorge, somewhere I haven't been for almost 20 years.
Took most of the swaps (as requested), and later distributed them around the other caches.
Left Nothing.
TFTC!
