After two previous successes we went out with some confidence today to look for the third cache in this series. After parking in the suggested spot we had a nice walk down a cobbled lane past the interesting looking Light Oaks Hall.
Under the railway bridge and across some boggy terrain to the cache location on the edge of the enchantingly named Windy Wood. We spent a good half hour looking around the spot suggested by the GPSr and went up to 20 paces in all directions around it - no luck!
After this we decided the cache had either been muggled or bad weather had displaced it and it was no longer in its orginal place. With some reluctance gave up the search and returned home. Perhaps this geocaching thing isn't so easy after all!
At home I logged the visit as a DNF (did not find) and e-mailed the owner for some information. He very kindly said he would do a maintenance visit and verify if the cache was still there. If it is or it's replaced, we'll go back in the near future.
