Description
Our Geo Art, Fairway Fun, is designed to highlight some of the activities now available to locals and visitors. This is the eleventh of 12 Geo Art caches forming an F
Fairway Park began life as a 9hole golf course and became redundant with the opening of the 18hole Allison golf course along Lobster Creek. Since then, the area has become a multiuse park for all with BBQs, play and exercise equipment, paths for walkers, joggers and bike riders, a sound shell for outdoor musical performances, a dog friendly cafe, grassed areas for play and dog walking, a Water Slide, Skate park, Pump Track and the Surf Club. Close by you will find the Yacht, Football and Bowls clubs as well as the break water, a popular fishing spot, an off-leash dog exercise beach, the caravan park and Shropshire Park home of the Naval Memorial, a place for quiet reflection and remembrance. The nearby beach has safe swimming in front of the Surf Club and plenty of beach for beach combing and sand play. The beach is regularly patrolled.
Take a quiet stroll through the park to retrieve this mint tin
There is plenty of safe parking close by.

Logs
With the wind blowing and a few spits of rain about there were no muggles around to wonder why I was kneeling at a tree fossicking around!
Great to see an appropriate sized zip lock bag in this type of container. On a recent trip to South Arm caching we struggled to fit sandwich bag sized ziplock backs back in to these containers!
Thanks.
The trip started at a leisurely 6.30 am and while going over the highland route we started our first of three major GCA trails at 10.30. The trip over the highlands was worth the detour, with a First to find at the "Bridge over Ouse" and a WhereIgo that I had solved for the central highlands a long time ago. The three main runs we took on today, were the "Challenging" Sailboat Geoart, the "tricky" F Fairway and the "very clever" Lighting bolt caches. I have to say that the lighting bolt caches had a cache design I had never seen before, so was an absolute highlight.
Thank you for placing these caches for our enjoyment
Very tricky series, while accruate coordinates some of the hides were not in the obvious places
Quick find and on to the next before heading up to the Dooleys Trail. TFTC
Finally came back to find the couple that i didnt find previously and to find the rest of the series.
this one was a quick find while there was nobody looking. TFTC
Many thanks 2y'stassies for creating this geoart and adding to our caching experience today.
Some were more of a challenge to find than others but we managed to find them eventually.
Very nice day to wander the area, no wind and the sea was calm.
Fairly quiet in this neck of thr woods...just 2 can8ne muggles heading to the beach.
At gz the cache was soon located with a bonus ftf...many tftc cheers ST.
