Doing a nice hike around these parts with Wilma and Hoppy when we got close to the top of this hill we came up to search for this cache. Unfortunatly without sucess. If it was close to the 2 trees here it is probably gone. There is some muggle activity near GZ where people have made a stone circle for a fire place. My guess is that they discoved GZ when doing so, It could also be that. I just didn't widen my seach radius enough (I did about 10m all around before I called it).

Thanks for the cache, a great idea for a joined cache.

This cache should have been safe to handle, as it hasn't been logged for almost ten months Very Happy

. It had me going for a moment, but once I read that the coordinates were good I was able to reduce my search to a small area. I soon spotted the hide. It took some jiggling to remove both the cover and the cache. Cache and log are good. Great views from here.
This was the last cache to find in this series and now I have the final coordinates.

I was up here today, so called in to find this cache. Spent quite a while checking various rock crevices before finally spotting it - should have trusted the coordinates in the first place!

Very clear air today made for great views.

Thanks,

Now this is what caching is all about......

A neat walk...not that far that you end of hating it, but enough to feel like you've done something. A neat location with views that are worth the effort to get to. A hide that is not hard, but hidden well in the conditions (took me a good 20 minutes to find it) and then you can take time to enjoy the surroundings. Everything you want really....well, me anyway.

Thanks KK.....a really enjoyable cache. Recommended

Found via helping KK put this out. Waited for FTF before claiming. Great walk and excellent views.

Probably the longest one for the puzzle series. I did not choose the right footwear this morning, so the approach from the carpark was.. painful

Anyhow, hunted around and around and around. GPS was not helpful, but eventually gave me a 1m location. Lifted a rock and saw a cache poking out. As TE mentioned, that's quite well concealed!

TFTC KK!

Chooo *FTF* on a lovely Thursday morning! Decided to give these latest caches a go, so planned a circular drive to cover them all. This was #6. As I mentioned at #2, I think I was suffering rock blindness today... Spent a fair bit of time searching in ever increasing circles... Eventually decided to see if I could get another hint. Well, yes, that is what I was looking for, but somehow, then I found it! Coordinates are accurate, it's just I'm amazed that regular sized container fit in there Very Happy

. Thanks Kittykatch! Now off to the final...
