I was passing close to Hollingworth Lake and so decided to go find this newly published cache in the hope of getting a first to find.

Hollingworth Lake   GC18B5P

Despite a long search I retired without a score.

But hang on a minute.....the cache wasn't there to be found.  No, it had been stolen just minutes after having been placed.

And we think we have problems in Yorkshire.   Read on...

I found Hollingworth Lake no problem, I found the car park too.
I even found the item mentioned in the hint, at exactly the spot-on coords given, but could I find the cache?.....No I couldn't.
I spent well over half an hour at this location and was definately not where I was looking. I have come to the conclusion it must be just away from here a bit.
Ah well, it was a nice drive over, but a bit foggy.

Have checked and repaired everything. All OK now.

No wonder I couldn't find the cache....it had been taken by muggles before anyone had a chance of finding it. Now that must be a record...the cache stolen before a first to find...
