Any updates to the status of this after six months? No response to messages about it.
Came down to check and couldn't find it. I'll come back with a replacement in a few weeks when my collarbone heals, don't want to risk anything with it right now.
Will replace it soon if it is missing, hopefully it's still there. Currently got a broken collarbone but I'll check it out soon.
I never hold much hope when it hasn’t been found for a couple of months. Is it still here?
Disabling this cache for now, as it seems to be missing, I will go have a look some time in the next few weeks.
Put out a new container, you are looking for a green bison tube.
Please be care with the string the holds the cache, on don't pull it too hard. Once it stops moving, stop pulling.

As per my enabled log, a new container has been put out.
You'll need to rumage around in the bush to find it, and please replace sufficient camo once you replace it to hide it from muggles.

geocachingmaty I found your cache Beacon Hill #4 - Eltham Reserve on 14/8/20, 1:30 pm. This is my find 2602 and find # 10 today. Not so quick find as it was on the ground. Signed log and replaced it hanging not so high up. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Oops! I actually didn't find this one, despite my now deleted log. I just couldn't spot it and there were plenty of neighbours out and about and I just didn't feel like explaining myself. Another time.
We carefully read the description and almost found it immediately . It's quite easy if you read the whole description.
I took myself to an interesting group of caches around Beacon Hill today. Mostly successful too.

Heute Nachmittag wurde der "Beacon Hill" genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Die Caches waren gut versteckt, leider waren sie zum Teil "zu gut" versteckt.
Die Gegend hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Erstaunlich ist, wo man überall Häuser hinbauen kann - Grandios!
Im Schatten des Busches wurde ich bei dieser Dose fündig. [^]

We wandered around the tree before spotting it. Again the weather is keeping the muggles in doors. A nice hide.
A relatively quick find, but I made it quite a bit more difficult for myself by dropping it as I was replacing it.
Retrieving it was considerably harder than the original find.

Found it but forgot my pen!!!! Second of the day where you need your own pen!!! I am so stupid
Another perfect day to be OCW old morty. We headed back to Cromer/Beacon Hill area to find the last few left on the map. Another deserted park and another quick find. TFTC!
Top outlook from around here. I understand why it’s a New Years Eve hotspot. Took longer than needed because my eyes were focussed mistakenly downward. Nice hide. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
This was the fourth one of the series today. Had to do a bit of searching through the bush but eventually found cache behind some leaves. TFTC
Went for a drive over to Beacon Hill to visit the unfound caches in the CO's Beacon Hill# series ie 1-5 & 8. Thanks for the generous hint has I had muggle eyes coming at me from several angles. TFTC
#6169 (4 of 6 today)
Decided to head back to Freshwater for more of the *Bush Near The Beach* series. Problem is the next few in the series numerically have a series of DNFs. So decided to bypass them and start at *#9*.
No problems finding three and then two more in a different series.
After heading off for some retail therapy I finished the day with an unexpected First2Find.

Stopped off at Beacon Hill, on our way back from a shopping trip, to grab the last of the newish unfound local caches to add to our Cache Carnival tally. This was the 2nd of 2 finds for the morning.
After visiting Careden Reserve we next drove the short distance around to this one at Eltham Reserve, parking the geomobile on Eltham Street and then heading down the grassy slope and over to GZ. The cache was quickly spotted and we soon had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.
No birdie action at this one, and the little herb garden planter box near GZ was looking a bit sad with just a few sprigs of Rosemary poking out amongst the weeds. TFTC geocachingmaty.

Cool hide... cleverly done!
And the view from the silver, metal seat up the hill is definitely worth a short break to appreciate.

Looking to make progress towards my next milestone. This was a quick park and grab.
