The council has done a pretty good clean up around this one's little hiding spot, so it might need a bit of a re-think.
We are on holidays soon, so the geokids and I might find better coordinates for its new hiding spot.

Looks like it's gone. Helped Hillster look and it wasn't there.
Will replace shortly.

Attended GZ could not see cache. Spoke to owner's son who even pointed to where it should be just in case. Apparently the council has been past recently. Cache gone. Could the owner please check thanks.
The parking area was full of sporting muggles but a short later me geowife and the geodogs,who
loved the walk to GZ found what we were looking for....TFTC...

Great little cache. Found with Team Legends today who made a very excited keyring swap. TFTC!!
TFTC!An easy afternoon find as the cache was half exposed. Had to wait a little while for the area became muggle free before signing the log and replacing the cache and adding extra cammo. TFTC
Just found our first cache! We got offered some help from a fellow geocacher, but we added our names and look forward to finding many more!
Parked at the nearby street and came down the little laneway past the barking dog. Soon made a quick find although I'm not sure of what the hint meant! Nice big park though, TFTC!
A nice quiet walk on a Friday afternoon. I tried to make this harder than I needed to.
TFTC.

A very early morning visit still didn't give me the place to myself!! Was waiting for muggles to disappear at 6 am! Great sunrise today.

Nice and Easy. Walked along to far and tripped over the small ditch LOL!!! tftc #186
I was working in the area today, so decided to stop off at Eschol Park Sports Complex for a quick lunch and a walk in the heat.
The cache was reasonably exposed making it very easy to spot on approach. In fact the area where it is hidden is quite exposed in general so I was glad the park was deserted today. There really isn't anywhere to take refuse whilst signing the log either, which may leave the cache vulnerable to the suspicions of muggles. I quickly signed the log and returned the cache, adding a bit more camo.

Found this great little cache after spending a lot of my life at The Grand Old Lady Cache nearby for a DNF, at least it helped with my deflated ego!
After the find I was surprised to see the COs live just a short distance away, so we had an over the fence conversation. Thanks TBs.

Quick lunch time pick me up after spending a lot of time nearby with nothing to write home about.
Found with emjoi and Rawlington3rd. Thanks for the hide!

The co-ords were spot on (at least according to the iPhone), but we were misled by the clue - we're still wondering about what it meant. If you're stuck with this one, I'd ignore the clue and just follow the co-ords.

Quick find, no muggles to give us any problems. How's at. TFTC

No one using the pitch or the field just a bunch of kids on scateboards over the other side. Found after a short search. SLTN..TFTC
Pre-work cachey. Wasn't 100% sure where this one was going to be... should have followed those coordinates more faithfully for a quicker find!
Cheers.
Cheers.
Found it! Second time around, too many muggles the first time. So hot today but stupid me and my sister went for a run anyways. :/
After scoring a FTF on the Stairway To Heaven cache, I thought I would pop over and knock this one off the list. Easy find. Coordinates are spot on. Lots of muffled walking around and walking dogs. Couple of muggles walked toward me while I was signing the log. I quickly finished and re hid the cache. I think they though I was doing a drug drop or something. They lingered near the GZ while I trotted off, giving me death stares.

Grew up in Raby and had recently lost a relative who lives very very close to this cache.
Wasn't a hard find, but a muggle passing every couple of minutes made it hard to remain natural while signing.
Have been wanting a few caches around this area for a while for our visits to this area. I hope you do it Bendeichs!

Tried this once before without any luck, was too involved in the game of Tongan cricket in the background... 
Made the find today though, dunno why I didnt search there before
This is a great park, Cheeky Dave has played many sports here over the years

found a likely spot but that was all...

Lazing around on a cool Sunday morning when this one was published. As I had grown up around the area a kinda knew where it was and with mum living just up the road a bit we bundled ourselves into the wagon and headed off. Surprised at how quit this park was on a Sunday morning, and after a quick search made a quick and easy find.
