Rotherham COFTF 8 - The Miracle Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Aggrajag: I'm afraid this one has gone to the great Muggle in the sky and I won't be replacing it as I no longer have any equipment to do so.

This was my first hide and was a very nerve-wracking exercise as I wanted to make sure I got it right.

Many thanks to all who have visited in the past.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A nice walk approx. 3/4 mile from the given parking spot along well defined footpaths. The starting paths are stone & concrete leading onto dirt paths which may, of course, deteriorate in winter and bad weather.


Pushchair and wheelchair accessible up until about 100m from cache, then a little harder. Not wheelchair/pushchair accessible for the last 10m.

A small home-camouflaged clip container containing:

  • Mini log + pencil in a bag
  • A laminated FTF certificate (to be taken by the FTF of course). FTF honours go to Yorkypudding and Ageinghippy - congratulations!
  • Laminated Geocaching guidelines
  • The usual selection of swappable goodies

Treeton Dyke is a beautiful lake used for fishing and water-skiing, and the paths around it are popular with families, cyclists and dog-walkers.

A section of the path around the lake is part of the Trans Pennine Trail.

There are many other small places to park and paths around the woods if you have a map.

Muggles may be a problem in peak periods but I think this off-shoot of a path should be quiet enough to not cause any real trouble.

COFTF RULES:

The Curse of the FTF series requires the FTF cacher in each new cache to place the next cache in the series. here are a few rules.
  1. The FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, Curse of the FTF Rotherham 9) within 1 month. Please note only the FTF'er should place the next cache and not every subsequent visitor.
  2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along. (This is at least till everyone has had ago at FTF who wants to.)
  3. Cache can be any size or type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc) but it should be set in the Rotherham MBC area.
  4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series.
By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find. However if you don't intend to carry on the series please DO NOT FTF please leave it for someone else.
