Now should I log cache #9 and #59 of the series, as the CO has said because there was an issue with these caches before anyone found them, they are allowing me to log them?

I got offered similar by another CO on a cache we DNFed. I decided not to, purely as we didn't sign the log, or pick up the cache and dismiss it directly  :-\

Did you sign a log book?

Ultimately only you will know if you are happy to claim them as a find.

If it was me I would not claim the finds. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest if others want to log without signing.

That is my line as well, if I didn't find it then it's a DNF, even if it went missing before it was even found.

Their 'find' on #9 is a bit dubious as well :o

Nope :(

As long as the weather isn't too wild, I am going to have a go at the middle loop on the 22nd.

Amazed how quiet this series has been so far considering the numbers that can be gained.

Done some more of the series today with Mrs Wrighty.

Parked at Fairford and walked to Quenington via 115 to 130 and back via 104 to 114.

6.5 miles,26 finds and 1 dnf.

Some road walking but still a very enjoyable walk. ;D

I've now completed all 132 caches. Found my 3 DNF's today: #59, #29 and #9, also bagged a FTF as well in Chedworth :)

Well done. I saw the one in Chedworth pop up, that's the next one in the three clumps series that I grabbed the FTF of the first one a short time ago.

Were the GCWs ones you found today also 35mms? Just wondered how they're holding up now we've had quite a bit of rain. Hoping to do another chunk of them on Tuesday.

Two of the GCW were 35mm and they were OK, the third #29 was a very small container with a bit of damp in it.

Still think that the longevity of some is questionable but the walk is good :)
