Quick finds after work. This cache is kaput, log papers too unwritable. Could replace the log, however its time for CO to apply maintenance or archive for new hides to rise up.One week left before getting 366 leap year days streak wrapped up. Thanks contactpete for providing this cache for everyone to enjoy.

23-Oct-22
Wether the weather or the coords, but i just followed the fence till i spotted it. Pretty much like most of them on the fence lines. There is so much picnicing area in this place, and not one table being used. I know its overcast, but, is this the way of picnic grounds now. Seems very seedy at certain spots. Glad its closed of a night. TFTC.
 
23-Oct-22
Wow. Hard one but well placed
We saw the sign

Found it behind the fence but got it out, the logs are soaking wet but we placed it infront of the fence in a nice little spot still where it originally was plotted. Tftc
 
03-Oct-22
For it can’t reach it it’s on the other side of the fence
 
04-Sep-22
No luck
 
26-Aug-22
Found it! But definitely needs maintenance, as mentioned below cache is stuck on the other side of the fence. May need a long stick to rescue, but too any muggles for me to attempt it today! Maybe next time

A sunny day, although wintery cold. The parking lot and picnic places around the Prospect reservoir were deserted which made for easy geocaching.

The cache was spotted, but about one meter behind the fence and not able to reach. So photolog instead!

Nice spot but no luck
 
10-Oct-21
12 metres to the left
 
10-Oct-21
GZ is 12 metres to the left.
When that was established it is where you think it would be TFTC!
 
28-Sep-21
As per a few of these caches coords seem a bit out to me, but if you keep looking it’s pretty obvious. TFTC
 
04-Jul-21
Lockdown exercise day out with geospouse! It was muggle central today, honestly you’d never think we were in the middle of winter during a pandemic, but I must say everyone was being safe and keeping their distance. Needs a new log but we did find a spot to sign. TFTC!
 
23-Jun-21
TFTC. Look further left (south) then ground zero

23-May-21
contactpete I found your cache Great Prospect History #6 on 23/5/21, 9:55 am. This is my find 3203 and find # 4 today. As per previous logs, cache coordinates are 10 meters out. Go by the photos for a quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
 
23-May-21
Found with Laimelde. Coords are a bit out, but it was the first place we thought to look anyway. Sneaky. Thanks!
 
23-May-21
Looked at the right place but then looked elsewhere before coming back and realising it was there all along! Thanks!
 
05-Apr-21
Coordinates were out but a photo in a previous log got me to the right place. There’s an 8-legged guardian living inside. I decided not to disturb him by getting the log out. Took a photo instead.

Lovely spot. TFTC!
 
09-Jul-20
This was a nice spot with great views over the reservoir and a few birds in the trees on the water's edge.
Shame about the hum of the traffic on the motorway in the distance. Spoils the ambience of the place.

I stopped here to take some photos. The water was so still and there were great reflections! There was a kangaroo further along the fence line.
While I was taking my photos the kangaroo came over and kicked me in the hip, and scratched the side of my face, quite deep so I will have a memory of this caching expedition forever. Sad
I have a few other wounds and my tracky pants are ripped beyond repair.

WATCH OUT FOR THE ATTACKING KANGAROO

TFTC but not the rest of the experience at this stop.
Might add a photo later.
