I had a similar problem where you had to walk over what looked like blue bell leafs (they had just started showing), so I wrote an email to the cache owner voicing my concerns.

They said they would monitor the situation and move it if there was too much damage.


On another situation, I was looking for a hide spot for one of my caches but one good spot I discounted, as I knew white bells grew there and didn't want them to get damaged.

I think you were quite right to bring it up as an issue.Remember how Lynches Wood got trampled even though Foraging 5 said their cache was only just off the footpath.This cache is obviously not just off the footpath but some way into the bluebells.

Well, Mr Geohatter doesn't appear to care. No reply or any log on the cache.

No, I don't think you did do the right thing. It may have been better to contact the CO and mention it to them. Much more polite than going behind their back. You could have asked them to temporarily disable it until the bluebells had finished. That's what I did with a similar cache that I had.

mmmm yes the original cache we had for Lynches wood bottom was literally on the edge of the footpath. You could stand on the path and grab it about 2ft away. ok it was a pretty tough hide, but it did stand out where it was resting. The whole area for (and no exaggeration) for a good 20ft around and even up the other side of the bank was trampled. I went up first to check, and then took Joachim who had made the cache himself, a day or so later, he was really upset. 2 cachers had contacted us directly to inform us of what had happened, hence the removal. Otherwise it may have been there longer and more damage done. I would say contact the cache owner directly.
on another note, as with the case on a few of our other fiendish caches, there were I think 10 more FOUND IT logs on line than actual signatures on the logbook!!!! The cachers were emailed to ask what the hide was... you can guess the answer! The logs were deleted rather swiftly.
