Logs
Following discussions with Dingoman1 it has been decided to archive this cache as it has been fairly troublesome lately. This will free up the area for someone to place a new cache.
No luck and looked everywhere we could think it could be. Very difficult or MIA
Hmm, there is obviously an issue with the cache, I will disable it until the problem is resolved.
I wonder if the recent loggers found a log from a previous container. I will watch this a while longer before disabling.
TFTC, but this cache needs maintenance - missing a container, so the log is wet.
Found but its just in a little bag so the log is very wet. Needs maintenance. Tftc. #wheeling&dealing
Quick find whilst waiting for burgers! Slippery lil find but a good hide! Found with denial_ ! TFTC!
A quick find after a lunch snack before going to an open garden. The container is a bit damaged. May require maintenance.
Our first time geocaching, but sadly we didn't find it! Better luck next time for us!
Found while on a run with denial_ and doamono who found this one a couple of weeks ago. TFTC!
Second find of a quick croydon session after work. Great little spot. Not too many muggles tonight but I imagine it would get overrun! TFTC!
A funny thing happened here today.
This was the last of a small bunch of caches that I did this afternoon. When I arrived the GPS took me straight to an obvious hide and when I could not find the cache, the hint seemed to confirm that I was looking in the right place.
There were muggles around, but not too close, and I was able to look again, and again. And read the logs. All to no avail.
As I was leaving, I saw another identical item about 12 metres away, and thought "?". Sure enough, there was the cache, with the GPS reading 13 metres.
There could be a few reasons - the GPS was a bit off, the coords wrong, or most likely, someone moved the cache. I left it where I found it, preferring the CO to make any adjustments that they deem appropriate.
STOP PRESS - I have just seen the previous adjustment! LOL All is now good.

Long time not found. It is 10m away from GZ under the other one. I got quite dirty. TFTC

My apologies to recent searchers, it looks like geoson, who checked this cache for us last month, replaced it under the wrong structure. Well, it may as well stay where it is so I am updating the coordinates accordingly.

Out on a monday geocaching escape with the geomutt clearing a few stragglers from the 10km radius. tftc
Found 2:00:00 PM, during a lazy Sunday afternoon of caching.
We found this cache on the grond with a new log FTF on new log
TNLN, thanks Mr MR.

Embarrassingly We spent a good 15 minutes there with 3 other caching buddies (old and new to the sport) and sadly couldn't find it.
maybe another day

While Daddy-o supervised Master D on the playground I headed off to find this cache ... quiet here this morning so was a quick find TFTC
New container and log in place. Thanks Dingoman1 for performing the maintenance.

Thanks to the last two finders for mentioning that the log needs replacing. Unfortunately, due to holidays we will not be able to get to the cache for a couple of weeks.
In the hope that there are a few random spaces still available on the log sheet, I will not disable the cache at this stage. Photo logs are fine if finders wish to record their visit that way.

Found it quickly, but the log book was pretty much in tatters. We found a tiny corner to sign but it definitely needs a new log. TFTC
I finally got around to returning to this cache after not finding it before Christmas. Thanks Mr MR.

When I got to GZ, there was some people in the nearby rotunda and someone else in a nearby car. I managed to use my ninja skilly to retrieve, sign and replace the cache in quick time.

I found this cache today at 4:35pm as number 3 of 3 on the 10th anniversary of our first geocache find. To mark the occasion, I completed 3 geocaches just like our first day and I printed the 3 cache pages and entered the co-ords manually just to recreate the day. I keep passing this on every day on the way to work so it is nice to pick up today. Thanks from D, HA & A B-A.
Found at 12:30pm, logged much later. We were only visitors for Xmas and enjoying a stroll around. Thank you Mr MR.
The cache had been muggeled. Managed to find contents, and Re hid . It is now back in action. Tftc
Despite the weather, I managed to get this on the way home from work. TFTC
a few people were in their cars nearby, I guess having their lunches,
but very quiet near G.Z
a quick find, thanks Mr Mr [:x]

Nearly court by muggles playing basketball and opening the door but ran away. Thanks
Parking very close we carefully avoided the people in the hall playing basketball and successfully made the find.

Arriving to find both doors to the hall wide open and basket ballers playing inside this one required a fair bit of stealth to retrieve without drawing too much attention to ourselves. but at the right angle the cache was in hand pretty quickly TFTC
Arrived early morning along with a couple of workers, who fortunately drove on further. A quick look soon had me signing the log. Thanks Mr MR
On my way to poker at bergersau's house, for a change. Wasn't sure where the iPhone was leading me initially as the building bounced the signal around but once I got close I knew where to look.

A cache on the way home from work is what I need.
A cold and windy night, most would probably take heed.
But not I, I proceeded to see what I could devise.
Too cache, too cache, whats that in my hands but the prize.

Good luck and cache on...

We are working on restoring this cache and hope to have it available again within the next few weeks.
We have checked. There does appear to have been some vandalism in the area and the cache has disappeared. I will disable it while we decide whether or not to replace it.
This was a quick and easy find on a damp night after a wonderful busy day. I took my dad along - it was his first find! TFTC, Mr_MR
We went out with torches, and even though it wasn't raining, it was very soggy underfoot. GeoGrandpa reached up to get this one for us. TFTC!
After getting past the gate lady with out paying being early Saturday morning and a game of footy was on we were then able to make our way to the gz and make a quick find, TFTC.
A nice park area and a nice quick find while passing through the area. Thanks for the hide.
Found with Crazy Nat Girl, we had no trouble on this one. Thnaks for the cache.
Found @0747 #3025
2TF Nice quick find on the way to work this morning. Also fills a square for project 366 and day 1 of the cache a day challenge for August this year. Great park and a pleasant sunny morning.

Found today with geo friend on way home after a lovely day out. Some elderly muggles were "parked" nearby, but we were able to find cache, sign it and return it without them seeing what we were doing. TFTC Mr MR
Found this one tonight as a nice easy find. I needed a cache for my Project 366 and it was getting a bit cold to go out again to find a cache. Then I saw this one published about 1.5km from home and decided it was worth going for a FTF on this cache. It took a little while to locate exactly where the cache was because I was searching blind (without a gps) and it is possible to find this cache without a gps. Signed log tonight and then took a while to get this one back in its container.
Thanks for a great cache Mr MR.
