Logs
After looking for this one and reading the logs this one has needed maintance since 12 / 2014 . We feel that if owners do not maintain then the cache should be Archived
Unfortunately this one appears to be MIA and we no longer live in the south, if somebody would like to replace it on our behalf ild be happy to re-activate it otherwise its offline 
Found this cache while out on a run. Gps on the phone was bouncing around but soon had the cache in hand. Just a little scrap of paper inside with some logs but this was soaked. Needs maintenance did not sign log
A quick find in a an empty park. Needs maintenance as paper all mush. Added a scrap to the cute container. TFTC
Strangely, though it was a Sunday afternoon & not raining, the skatepark was totally deserted. Perhaps it really is a secret. We made the most of our stroke of luck & descended for the quick find, though we did disturb a lonely rabbit on approach. Loved the hide though the logsheet remains a soggy mess. NM flag already raised. [Blue]Find # 1955. Thanks for the cache WeedyCC

Found cache log book very bad and needs attention. Great container and very appropriate. Tftc
Found today. Great container but log book was pretty bad. Removed bag as it was simply holding the water in. Log book needs urgent attention.

Found this one again today and found that the log is wet and mouldy. Needs replacing.
Just found but log was wet way to wet to write in . Would of helped and put a new log in but had nothing sorry. great container too 
That was the cutest cache container! An angry plover was showing his displeasure at a couple of runaway dogs nearby. Thankfully I was still able to log and replace after which the dogs owners showed up and everyone was happy again. Thanks for the cache WeedyCC. Favourite point added.
Found the cache the glue come off... need maintenance (glue)... It was so cute one. Thanks WeedyCC

We were in Old Beach today so we thought it was a good opportunity to grab this cache. It was a nice quick find in a place we had no idea about. TFTC.
Great day to be out cleaning up a few caches. Was a great park and have stopped in here a few other times as a nice area to explore. A few muggles around but far enough away not to be an issue. Thanks for giving us another reason to stop by and get out of the house today.

I thought this rainny afternoon is the perfect time to venture out to get this one. Tftc.
I was about to grab the cache when a bandicoot ran out from under the bushes.
Not too many muggles around today.

I was quite surprised to find the park completely devoid of people, given that it was a holiday.
I spent quite a while trying to pull a suspicious looking piece of wood apart, before going to the right spot and finding the cache.
Thanks.

Nice hide easy find with clues TFTC TNLN great day for caching nice cool overcast day great cache container
A bright, early start with nothing around except plenty of white tailed bunnies. Quite appropriate as we near Easter. A nice little cache which we found with the Goose. TFTC.
Great little cache and well hidden. Found this morning about 0830 with the bear. TFTC

It was well hidden, but on reading the Graham51 log we followed his example and found the blighter. TFTC WeedyCC
After receiving a helpful suggestion from GoldJ we decided to return to the Old Beach area to try our luck. There had also been a new cache placed in the area which meant we might score more than one new find.

We really like novelty caches and this is a good one. Thank you for the cache.
It is great to see the councils developing outside facilities for young people to use but it is very disappointing to see so much littering around these skate parks. Brighton skate park is just as bad if not worse. While cache-in, litter-out is a great idea you would need a truck in some of the places.

Although there were some kids using the skate bowl, there was non-one on the bmx track. So, we approached from the road to avoid the gaze of muggles. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find of a novel cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for a good and well hidden cache WeedyCC.
Well was this an exciting cache. To start with my GPS was indicating 265m to go and I was parked at the skate park. Phoned home to clarify the co-ords were correct and then all of a sudden the GPS read 25m to GZ What is going on here??? GPS must have election jitters. Went to the location and thought the hint was under a tree but which one?? Checked about and found it. What a beauty. Well hidden and well constructed. A favourite from me. Well done Weedy CC. TFTC
With a day off work I intended to go for a jog along the foreshore track so on the way I stopped to look for this cache. I soon narrowed down the search area and after a bit of poking about I located the most appropriate container. Logged my visit and FTF at 08:26. TFTC WeedyCC.
