[font=Trebuchet Ms]The other half of _TeamFitz_ was getting quite tired now from all the driving and bad directions from me. But she persevered, well done to her.

Doing this paperless as usual, didn't have a clue of the area or where to park, orignally parked on teh road closest to the cache but soon realised this was not the optimal place to approach from. Soon found a parking spot to the south and was quite surprised at the surrounding location. Nevertheless we managed to avoid getting injured since it was late in the day.

GSPr started to bounce as we got nearer to GZ, but after walking a bit beyond, then realising where we needed to go the ammo can was soon found. Great location and some interesting trees and I see someone has left an informative plaque nearby which explains coppicing.

Too bad all the generous swag has now deteriorated in quality, however was able to trade a DVD movie for the wind up torch.

Also took Bagel Deojii TB and left the Erzgebirgscoin GC.

Once again thanks for the interesting challenge, solved Thursday whilst my sister-in-law watched. Was a bit of a cross between the turtle navigation program when I was at school, and the grabber machine that they have in service stations and seaside venues. Have to say tin-man had me stumped but not for long![font=Verdana]
