I think I might just archive this one. Wp1 is crummy and Gz is worse. There is not really a spot here anymore for a cache and I am not going to be able to maintain this one for several weeks now. I may redo something like this but a lot better.

I will possibly be able to check on it sometime today.

OK now I am familiar with the cache type and hide, and following a repeat visit, I don't think it's really there now. So a check by the CO is warranted. Thanks...

Armed with confirmed coordinates from the CO I visited today but could not locate the cache. I spotted what looked to have been a possible spot that matched the hint but sadly no cache?

Quick find whilst en route to dads to fix a door. Geo-mutt would have preferred a longer wander especially given all the doggy biscuits granddad always gives him.

Quite an easy find. A lot of no parking signs around though, but I got away with it.

A nice simple offset. Very few muggles at GZ thankfully. TN left a LEGO magnet. TFTC!

Another nice little offset. TFTC

After receiving the early mark from the boss...we were off into the sunshine and heat to see what we could find. As we have clients in this area, we picked this quick offset, found everything in order. TFTC

Found on a nice morning in Lyons. The answers were easily retrieved, so then it was a quick drive to the location. After a lovely short walk, the cache was found and signed. A few muggles around (including a slow old lady that was nearby for a while), but they were no trouble. TNLN. TFTC Cankid!

I'm not sure what makes this a landmark. I have been dreading this series, but now that this is my closest to home I thought I give it a go. After getting some stupid location from the vague questions I check with a previous finder after the CO couldn't be bothered responding to my question. Today I returned and finally worked out what constituted a landmark.
1: Inappropriate container that is not weather proof: Check!
2: Poorly hidden cache: Check!
3: No pencil: Check!
4: No plastic bag for the log: Check!
5: Vaguely worded clues: Check!

TFTC, so close to our home

Found the sign and got the GZ coords no troubles, a short walk and the cache was found quickly. TFTC.

1341. I returned to WP1 the next morning after my DNF and actually found the "sign". I calculated a GZ and had the same result as the other searchers. So I thought I would wait a while, for the wrinkles to be ironed out, and returned today. With a new calculated GZ, a quick find was made. A case of third time lucky TFTC.

5346 + 581 = 5927. A run through Lyons this arvo to make a dent in this rapidly growing series !.

With more and more Lyons Landmarks being published I thought I'd better start grabbing them ! This was the seventh and last one for this arvo. It was nice to do a quick Multi for a bit of a change. Grabbed the info at WP1 and cruised around to GZ for another quick find. Happy with a quick 7 this evening - Thanks again Cankid !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

3rd find for the day with Mrs Winglen as we continued our ride around the area. Spotted the blue sign, found the info, did the calc's....and continued on riding to GZ where we made a quick find. All ok....

Thanks for another one Cankid.....

No problems with this one, apart from slight ambiguity in some of the questions but we got it right first time and rode on to GZ. Quite nice picking these up on bikes. Thanks Cankid.

Well, that worked like clockwork! Why can't all Cankid's multis work this well! Thanks.

Rocked up to the roundabout, just as Agent Basil arrived too. Found the miniscule sign with 4 font printing. Read the notes, got the numbers, then off to find a cache nearby, TFTC.

I'm not sure I'd call that a sign, more of a label really! But yes folks, it is pretty much bang on the given coordinates.

After a little work with the clues from the sign we worked out a suitable set of coordinates and headed off to take a look. It wasn't long at GZ and we had the cache in hand, where mtbikeroz had beaten us to the punch.

The "sign" is not exactly a sign. Was all ready to claim the FTF but mtbikeroz beat us to it. The WP clues were a bit...odd and open to interpretation but was glad to unearth the cache at GZ. TFTC

Without actually visiting, Google Street View shows no such sign and coords are the middle of roundabout

Mr Roo is on site and found sign. His first go led hime to front yard. However he sent me a picture of sign and me doing calcs ,coords end up in front yard. And that is using 2 interpretations of 3rd number of phone number (using and ignoring area code). Me thinks there is a mistake

Edited information neded to be collected.

FTF. Full log later

473, and FTF #4 at 6:20 pm.
Heres a tip for the DNF'ers. It's a SMALL blue sign and it's half white.
Well after 3 DNF's in the series in a row, I was pleased to log an FTF. At first I thought I was looking for a container at WP 1, then remembered. It didn't take long for me to find the sign, but then I realized I forgot the formula. (not the questions). So I called the CO, and went to GZ. I was pleased to see a blank logbook.
Thanks Cankid.

Arrived at the posted coords for WP 1 and couldn't find any of the info in the middle of the roundabout. I think something may be a little wrong here!!!

It's definetly there, you may have been looking in the wrong spot

GSP had me in the centre of the roundabout! Not great with kids! I think that the CO need to confirm co-ordinates and if the details are in the middle of the roundabout then Please put a warning in the description.

Found the sign alright worked out a gz. Went there and right across the road from where they are building and to make matters worse on a corner in front of someone's yard? Didn't feel like being arrested
