We were there, albeit briefly.Nice to catch up with others and also meet new cachers
"We Use Multi-Million Pound Satellites to Find plastic boxes in the Woods and various other places. What's Your Hobby?"
Decided that we would have a go at finding this elusive cache, practically on our doorstep, but have been too busy with life to get out there!! Well we looked and looked, and then Mrs S stood at GZ with Bob, and directed Mr S to rummage in the leaf litter.....and yes there it was
and a FTF too

We decided that we would have Chinese for dinner, and we planned to go to our favourite in Polegate. Knowing that this cache was still not found, we were rude not to venture into Hailsham for a spot of night caching (well in the dark). Mr S and Master S Snr out for the hunt, and with torch in hand the cache was soon found. Cache opened and a blank log book inside
. Glad we did this under cover of darkness ![]()
Now about that Chinese........
