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.
 
11-Oct-14
No luck and looked everywhere we could think it could be. Very difficult or MIA
 
11-Oct-14
Hmm, there is obviously an issue with the cache, I will disable it until the problem is resolved.
 
05-Oct-14
I wonder if the recent loggers found a log from a previous container. I will watch this a while longer before disabling.
 
04-Oct-14
No container, log very moist. Only an expert geocacher could find if alone.
 
04-Oct-14
TFTC, need a container ASAP!
 
04-Oct-14
TFTC, but this cache needs maintenance - missing a container, so the log is wet.
 
04-Oct-14
There is no container. Log is very wet.
 
04-Oct-14
Found but its just in a little bag so the log is very wet. Needs maintenance. Tftc. #wheeling&dealing

14-Sep-14
A quick find after a lunch snack before going to an open garden. The container is a bit damaged. May require maintenance.

24-Aug-14
Found while on a run with denial_ and doamono who found this one a couple of weeks ago. TFTC!
 
04-Aug-14
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.
 
08-Jun-14
Long time not found. It is 10m away from GZ under the other one. I got quite dirty. TFTC Cool

Coordinates changed from:
S 37° 48.580 E 145° 16.064

Coordinates changed to:
S 37° 48.580 E 145° 16.070

Distance from original: 28.8 feet or 8.8 meters.
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.
 
26-May-14
Out on a monday geocaching escape with the geomutt clearing a few stragglers from the 10km radius. tftc
 
25-May-14
Found 2:00:00 PM, during a lazy Sunday afternoon of caching.

We found this cache on the grond with a new log Surprised FTF on new log Wink

TNLN, thanks Mr MR.
 
10-May-14
Unfortunately we didn't find this one tonight. Will be back!
 
10-May-14
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
 
27-Apr-14

15-Apr-14
Quick find while kids playing in playground. And they are still in view too.
 
04-Apr-14
This one is not too hard. Thanks Mr MR.
 
24-Mar-14

20-Mar-14
Nice easy one tftc.
 
05-Mar-14
New container and log in place. Thanks Dingoman1 for performing the maintenance.

Cache on... Smile
 
15-Feb-14
Looked for approx ten mins in the obvious places and no luck. Sad
 
25-Jan-14
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.
 
25-Jan-14
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
 
Tftc - new log required

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.

TFTC!
 
03-Dec-13
Parking very close we carefully avoided the people in the hall playing basketball and successfully made the find.
TFTC
 
03-Dec-13
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

16-Nov-13
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.

TFTC.
 
13-Nov-13
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.

TFTC Mr MR

Good luck and cache on... Smile

We are working on restoring this cache and hope to have it available again within the next few weeks.
 
19-Aug-13
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.
 
17-Aug-13
Some damage in the area. Suggest it has been muggled.

Closest to work, and an easy find at lunch today. Thanks
 
01-Aug-13
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
 
31-Jul-13
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.
