Had some free time yesterday at work while waiting for a computer to process some data so thought I'd go through the puzzles. All bar #5 were pretty straightforward. Looked at #5 for ages then suddenly a word appeared, then another and soon had the answer
Dropped past early this morning for a quick find with the coords spot on! Beautiful area and great views back to the City. Was nearly blown away while signing the log by the gale force winds.
Cache nice and dry, all looks well. Took a card. TFTC!
TFTC.
Stopped by this afternoon on a cold, wet and windy day and made a quick dash for the cache before the park closed. Followed a fresh set of footprints right up to the cache.
Took a finders card, thanks for the puzzle and the cache!
Including GCA Caches this is our 700th find, so an extra buzz to finding this one.
Many thanks for a reason to return again to this great park.

Took third-to-find certificate (with not a few giggles of delight!), thanks for the cache Outenabout!
I arrived early than the opening time but they had opened the gates so I went in anyway and was FTF at the first of the three coordinates that I had work out. This was about 8am.
Thanks for the cache. Dropped in a mini mobile backup device but took nothing.
