Hmmm... seems this has indeed disappeared again.
Taking it off line until we can work out what to do with it. Stay tuned...

Sadly, we didn't score this one today. Did the walk and found the necessary numbers. Mr L&L had already found them some time ago but wanted them checked! We looked and hunted. The neighbour wanted to know if we'd scored!!! After telling him no, we then wondered if he may have muggled it and had it on his kitchen table while he watched the frustration from afar!! We then rang the owner for some expert advice - they will check on it and we will just have to return another day.
After warming up on a few caches across the river I decided to chance my arm on the darkside. After a little trail on the many devices I was ready to locate the cache. TFTC 
Went for an amble yesterday but too many citizens wandering around so just noted all the numbers and went back today in the rain (Nobody about but council mowers and one solitary dog walker!)

Forgot my photos so just collected all the numbers a few weeks ago. Sorted out final co-ordinates & returned today. TFTC
Stopped by and replaced the container this morning. Thanks to IF for placing the contents in a snap lock bag in the meantime.
The cache has been moved to a slightly different hide, still within the same location. Happy hunting!

A walk I could do on the push bike
How civilized
All went well until I found that the PDA had spat the dummy and only downloaded the first 3 pictures of the webpage [:o]
That sorta explained why I was led astray and the final coords put me a couple of streets away from the river in a very nice suburban park. But not the right park
Some quick recalculations and some educated guesswork set me back on the right track though
I found most of the cache. It had been muggled by some not very bright individuals who couldn't spell even the simplest of words
A new container is needed as the bottom of it is missing
TFTC and exercise.

Second of two finds for the night. All went well until I had the final coordinates and approached GZ. What's that? Huge spider! And another. Noooo! Lots of bats as well. And who knows what else. Decided to call the owners rather than run away screaming - they confirmed GZ, and the cache was found quickly.
Now, why am I doing this again? Ah yes, thanks Mrs Steve, "to unwind after a stressful day at work..."
Took TB as a reward for my bravery!!!

Well we thought we would go back again. This time armed with the right co ordinates that led us to the park however GZ. Unable to locate. will try again another time maybe.

The day had started badly...but now I'd racked up my 900...the rain had passed and I was enjoying a stroll along the river. Can it get any better than this?
Yep....spotted by the cache owner and their hairy horse, I now have the pleasure of their company...or were they just keeping an eye on me?
The balance beam got the better of me and I just had to give it a go
The clues were located without any problem. I had a brief moment when I couldnt find 'I' on my printout...ooops turn the page!! Calculations done it off to find the cache.
Hmmm I think I remarked as we passed a particular spot that it would be a great spot for a cache!!!
Thanks Steve & family for the cache, the company and the suggestion of going for a coffee to celebrate

Well i think i may have to go back to school again to work out the co ordinates he he. We gave it a go but was stumped on W = f/d unsure what the / sign stands for. Got the rest of the co ordinates but unable to finish. Will have another go another day. Thanks anyway. 
Really glad we did this at night as Man-Gecko insisted on trying out his own (rather unique) versions of each of the exercises. At least (thank heaven for small mercies) he wasn't wearing short shorts. Fun way to finish an evenings caching. Thanks Steve and gang!
