We're a patient lot around here, don't worry.

What's wrong with blackthorn..... Very nice once you have soaked it in gin!

I've given up with this one!!! After having tried 2 different names within the FC, nobody has been been bothered with the courtesy of a reply of
ANY kind. I shan't be promoting visits to their facilities again. Let them get back to making pit props and trench walls for the Tommies in Ypres.

When we did the BBC interview at Nant yr Arian the rangers there were very pleased to promote geocaching on FC property. Have you tried contacting
them? I forget the name of the ranger that came out with us, but I am sure Al has it somewhere. It would be a shame to lose a D5 puzzle.

Hi, the rec ranger in Nant yr Arian was called Gareth Owen, I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he has changed roles, I think he is now managing the
cafe and possibly the whole site. I will try and give him a ring soon and find out if he knows who to get in touch with now.
Was it in Nant yr Arian you wished to place the cache or just in FC property in the Aber area?

The two routes I have used were via the GAGB database of agreements/contacts and then when that failed, I used the FC's own website for the person
responsible for the area I was going to place it in. Unfortunately it was not in Nant yr Arian. I am researching a new location miles from the FC
now, as trying to place one near their property is just too much trouble!

Wow! In contrast to the FC, our trusty reviewer turned this one round in a matter of minutes! Perhaps they took pity on my struggles?

Well it is certainly entertaining watching people trying this cache! I really am having to control myself and not give out hints!!!! I am getting
lots of emails from across the whole UK..... I think it is because people are hunting a 5* cache to complete a set. Several people are very very
close. The only way I can be fair is to stay silent! I will relent after the FTF or January 1st, whichever is sooner. My absolute final word on
the matter (and this is mainly for Dayle and Nitro) is that the puzzle is what SOE heard over the airwaves. Morse code DOES NOT HAVE HINTS.
