One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

This cache has not been found for a long time & the CO has not been on the geocaching site in over 18months. Maybe its time for this cache to be archived so that one of the local cachers that is prepared to replace it can place a new cache here.

Great spot to take us to, but couldn't find it.
 
12-Dec-14
This cache seems to be missing, It would be good if the CO could check to see if it is still there.

Looked but didnt find it.

Definitely through the scrub!

Been back three times this week to find this one. We have been all over the GZ, searched on both sides of the fence
And not been able to find it. Others comments indicate it to be over the fence, if this is the case, It should never have been placed there, especially now as some
of the wall is crumbling down the steep slope. One commenter asked to take this cache over, that would be a good idea as long as it is placed safely. Otherwise it should be archived as no one is maintaining it.
 
13-Sep-14
The wall has been cemented so we suppose the cache has too.
 
06-Sep-14
Found it but is all wet.
 
30-Aug-14
I had a look but found nothing.
 
06-Aug-14
I am keen to maintain this cache, I have a suitable container that would be similar to the previous one. I have also found a spot near the original hide, that would avoid people needing to climb the fence. I will redo the co-ordinates and get in touch with the publisher to attempt to transfer this to me.
 
04-Aug-14
Sad
 
02-Aug-14
Couldn't find it. Oh well will try again next time

Our 1st DNF today.
[red]We spent quite some time here at around 2:17:00 PM, but we couldn't locate the cache.

We spent quite some time here today. without success.

This cache hasn't been found for quite some time and the CO hasn't accessed the Groundspeak site since 29 July 2013, and his girlfriend (Hide-ee) hasn't accessed the site since 17 April 2009, so we figure they aren't active any longer.

We think this would be a good opportunity to free up this wonderful spot so that an active local cacher can place a maintainable cache here.

Could a reviewer please temporarily disable the cache pending a response from the cache owner?
 
29-May-14
Our 2nd look for this one & again we couldn't find it. Maybe the next time we are in Tamworth we will have more luck.

After arriving at GZ i was greeted to the beautiful views from this location and then the hunt began however we had a couple of Muggles hanging around near gz so a stealthy look was the best we could do then to our surprise one of the "Muggles" jumped the fence and started looking around the rocks. then it was noted that the second "Muggle" was looking at an app on her iPad that looked somewhat familiar this of cause caused me to ask the age old question "are you guys looking for the same thing we are?" with a grin from them both Yes was the reply. so then the hunt was on after a couple of Mins looking all over GZ and referring to pictures and logs and finding some similar items that appear in the pics located away from gz in the downward fashion. a broader look was started unfortunately no luck but just as we where about to give up i spied something lurking in the bushes a small way away and yay the cache was in hand, then it was time to do the honours and sign the log and replace the cache in its rightful position. what great afternoon we got to find a cache and save it from being lost and we got to meet some Cachers from SA.
Log book is a little damp and may need replacing soon.
Nice spot

From reading more recent logs I understand where we should have been looking, but it seemed to be a bit far away from GZ and didn't fit the description. Oh well, may be back.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found while here for the Country Music Festival. This was our first cache in town, and a great spot it is too. We could see where we had to be, but I walked off as there were so many muggles wandering around. Mrs BG tipped off one of the kids hats and the next thing I heard from at the car was "dad, can you jump the fence and grab the hat"[^] She is such a great geowifeCool Soon had the cache in hand and signed all in between muggles.
Thanks for the Cache and Cheers from Browngang
 
20-Jan-14
Nice spot, but I wasn't prepared to climb the fence to look for this one. And besides, I got cornered by some very chatty muggles!
 
07-Jan-14
Found it!
 
16-Nov-13
Amazing find! Took 3 tries to find it but very well done! TFTC!
 
08-Nov-13
would suggest that the hide be moved. A fence has been erected and it is illegal to climb the fence. Can I suggest about 50 meters south where there is no fence.
 
07-Nov-13
Found with Grandson in Law who climbed the fence. A good hide Bezerker

Visiting my god daughter I took her geo caching the day before only because her mum made her go! Now she wants to know what's near by so this is our first stop and with some help of others we soon found this one! Great view too!
 
07-Oct-13

A quick return trip thismorning after having way too many muggles there yesterday afternoon. Did however observe an echidna doing its thing directly below GZ

In the early morning glow, quickly had the cache in hand and signed.

No luck for me today, like jodz said, it has been re-cemented,
I have photos showing the work done and think it must be gone.

A chilly start to the morning but pick it up after a short search, cords had a 6 m error but might have been the cold! Took the fish and left a pin. Tftc.
 
03-Aug-13
Found it
 
Found with MajuraHathi. Lovely day for a cache today as we thought we were in the company of other cachers, who had a GCA sticker on their campervan. We hung around hoping that we would meet, but that didn't happen. Love the view anyway.

At the end of the York Cup hockey competition, we went out to see the view of Tamworth. MajuraHathi said there is a cache here. Some muggles were around but we found it ok anyway. TFTC. [^]
 
01-Jul-13
Came to the lookout with Cleared For Takeoff for a muggle free find this morning. Enjoyed the expansive views over the town from here. We were glad to have the place to ourselves!
Thanks for featuring this great spot with a cache.

Shell picked the location instantly, I was wrong Razz TFTC!
 
We looked and looked and looked.
And were extremely careful to hold on.
There were a few muggles there but they were too busy kissing.
My son found it after a little while and it was soon signed and put back.
Then we spent lost of time trying to work out were nanny lives.
And watching the mouse/rat in the tree near by

Thanks for the Find Bezerker

Yay, another find for SJBS and kids, this one definitely for the adults, watch out for steepness below. Great cache!

With two attempts, rats (eek) and holes in rocks (where rats live), we decided to leave it as it was too daunting a task for the geohubby as the geowife would not go outside the safety fence at all Sad
 
24-May-13
took a little while between muggles coming and going but managed to find, found with geopartner, log a little damp
 
23-May-13
tftc found with geopartner
 
19-May-13
Our GPSr had us at a rock wall outside a fence in an area that looked like you should not be in. Judging by the destruction of the rock wall where our GPS was pointing we were not the only ones to look there. Hopefully it is safe and sound not where the GPS was pointing today.
Thanks anyway Bezerker the views were worth the trip.
 
19-May-13
I am frustrated with myself that I can not find this. Perhaps I need a geo buddy, or a different hint

Hope to find it one day
 
18-May-13
Way too many muggles today
 
18-May-13
2nd attempt. Have to admit that we used a spoiler photo for help though. Watch out for rats!!
 
13-May-13
It is still there, surviving even more construction!!
 
05-May-13
Way to many holes in the wall not sure if its still there

Hi Found it at last, this is muggler haven they are all over the place. Good hide plenty of places to look. TFTC.

Too many people! This is the second Easter I have passed this way and been unsuccessful.

Took us a while to find. A bit hard but got it eventually
 
30-Mar-13
TFTC good day in town worth with the family
 
30-Mar-13
Was dissapointed not to grab this one due to its location and the amount of muggles there today. There are a 1000 better locations here which wouldn't compromise the cache if an attempt was made at it . I had to walk away without a good look over ther fence.
 
30-Mar-13
Took some looking. A lot of rocks!
 
12-Mar-13
It is a shame to see so much damage to the wall, I would like to think at it is not geocachers but I am certain that it is. SL TFTC
 
03-Mar-13
It toke a bit of time but not to long,and then the yell found!!!.
Thanks
 
02-Mar-13
We thought searching early on a wet, cold Saturday morning would be just the time to have a second go at this cache without being overrun by muggles, but they were still about.
Despite this, we managed to get the cache in hand without too much trouble this time around.
TFTC.
 
02-Mar-13
Took alittle to find it but great cache

Great view. Hard find. Funny were it looks like fellow geocachers have excavated a gaping hole in rock wall
 
15-Feb-13
Sneaky hide. Lovely views
 
12-Feb-13
#11: Admired the view until the only muggle in view took off. Then it took us a while to find the cache as we had the wrong idea as to where it would be. But found it none the less.
 
09-Feb-13
Sneaky.
