Logs
Found on 23/10/2011 with sat down and walk there after a day in the park. logging now as opened own account. For some reason can't backdate log
No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Should have checked the previous logs before wasting time here. A previous finder with me also confirmed that the cache is not where he found it.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm 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 30 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.
I don't know how it works but I would have thought that after over what, 8 months of dnfs this one would be taken down by now?
Looked every where even got on the roof an still nothing. Wonderful spot though
Spent some time at the site with 3 GPS devices, used the hint - couldn't find it. There is an obvious place where (we thought) cache could have been hidden. I suppose someone dropped it while retrieving it.
Would be great if the owner could have checked it.

Hi CO (Magic Leopards), I am making a maintenance request to confirm if this Cache in a series still exists please. I will place the Cache on my watch list and hope that you check it out soon. Thanks, wazza9
A very disapointing result after spending 20 minutes looking up at what I believed was GZ, I had to walk away without a visit to this Cache and the clue needed to get me to the Bonus. Lets hope the CO does a check and advises us if we are all wrong. I will log a maintenance request, place the Cache on my watch list and hope that the CO checks it out soon.
As I found the other 2 micro's, I would love to finish the series? Can this one be replaced?

Like many previous comments, did not find. Maybe destroyed in the recent rains?
couldn't find it anywhere despite a lengthy search on a quiet weekday for muggles.
Didn't even get a chance to search, so many muggles and GZ would make any adult appear like a peeping tom. The general area is fantastic, never knew about this lovely swimming spot but there would have been so many brilliant hiding places, why oh why has it been placed there?
Found it after a second trip back! Certainly needs maintenance, log book and clues are unreadable.
The log book is destroyed with dampness or as I read through the past logs someone other than a geocacher must have found it and dumped the log book out. New log book required.
Because there is supposed to be clues in this cache, we found it in need of maintenance so other geocachers including ourselves couldn't find out what that clue was.
Cache log book is a wreck! Needs replacing because it was wet and people just jammed the log book back in. Lovely swim spot.

Sadly the cache was open on the ground with the contents everywhere. Packed it up and put it in a spot at GZ
Pretty cool cache! Took about 5 minutes to find
Definately in need of maintence though

Helps to be tall for this. Not sure if the roof is a good place for this because of condensation and rain. The interior was quite damp. Got the number and moved on to others. It was pleasant down here this evening.
Nice spot, wasn't tall enough so I got geobuddy to lift me up.
Log was wet.
TFTC!!

Once we made our way down to GZ my muggle friend in training spotted the container. Now all we have to do is get it out of its hiding spot. I found a tool that worked and after signing the log we're thinking okay how do we rehide this one. It took some work but we got it back in the same location. TFTC
As RS says, there are paths that lead straight to it. We however, chose to slide down a stormwater channel nearby, coming from the car park above, like it was a slippery slide. Then when we got all the way to the bottom I checked the hint. Doh!
Fortunately, we had navigate to the right spot, and Canary's boy spotted it while he was clambering around some rocks. Cache was quickly extracted signed and clue recorded for the first of our finds in this series.
Thanks

This was the twelveth cache of sixteen today on a trip with bikerbuddy.
We certainly took the easy way out! Shame we took the hard way in. My youngest son helped with the quick find.

Of cause I came the hard way to find this one..there are paths that lead straight to it! Nice hide, thanks MLs
This cache was hidden in a great hiding spot!! Found it without the hint although we were looking up anyway. TFTC, NazzoR
A rainy Saturday kept the muggles at bay making this an easy find.

Maybe the clue is too generous? Also, as the container was not fully protected, the logsheet inside is a bit damp and mouldy. Fantastic location, though, thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
It was cooler today so no muggles around having a swim, and another quick find. I have all the required information; however I did not print the sheet for the bonus. O well next time over here will finish off the mission. Thanks.
Easy find in a beautiful parkland that I never get tired of visiting, Thanks for giving me reason to return
I should have got this a few weeks ago when I was in the park but didn't have to co-ords nor internet access so came back this morning to finish the last traditional in the series. A quick find. TFTC!
Having successfully completed #1 and #2, I was prepared for anything. Still under cover of darkness and suffering from shock after almost landing on a person walking their dog at #2, I approached GZ with more cautious steps. At GZ I could see my quarry but decided I required some assistance from the local bush to retrieve the cache. A cunning plan was devised and I soon had the cache in hand. Now armed with all clues I will work on completed the extra special mission sometime soon. Thanks Magic Leopard, hopefully you will recieve good news once I complete the Bonus mission. Over and out for now.
Nice quick find, although I did feel like a bit of a creep. I think this one should be definitely reserved for days when there are few muggles about. TFTC.
*FTF* - Joint with wizman88 & dkerr88.
Arriving at GZ, I was alone again, and thought I would manage a solo FTF, but sadly not only did wizman88 & dkerr88 arrive before I found the container, but one of them grabbed it first for a Joint FTF.
Signed the log and noted the hint, before heading back home to find that the Bonus cache info had finally appeared, so back out I went.

*FTF* me and wizman thought we'd beat steptoe to this one but he was only a couple of minutes behind us for another joint ftf TFTC
Best location of the 3 Micros, but was surprised that GZ was actually where it is, with so many other nicer spots so close by.
Off to the bonus one now.
