The coords took us to the middle of the road near the rubbish bin. Was a very dirty area with too much rubbish and dog excrement. Could not relate the clue to the site. Maybe something has been knocked down. A very dirty area. Would not want to take children here. Did not want to touch anything.
Team hayjagen tried for a half hour but could not find it. 
Our coordinates had it at the rubbish bin just like another logged entry.
T: too much time
L: frustrated

For some reason I thought that this was a micro but once I realised my error it was a quick find, in a good spot, thanks Bitsprayer.
Drove straight up to this one and could see the hiding spot before I had even vacated the car. Dislodged a number of snails that had taken up residence on the cache before signing the log and going on my way. Dropped in JAY JAY TB to clock some miles.
Quick find. Was hoping to get the geocoin but to no avail it was gone. So left another for the next cacher to collect.
Cache was covered in about 10 or so garden variety snails.

A drive by. Mr TT leapt out of the car and had the cache in hand before Mrs TT could turn off the engine! Enjoyed looking at all the boats. TFTC
Came by here quite accidentally, recognised the place from my searchings on Google earth! Lots of boats in today, but not a person in sight! tftc =)
found with yo-mum, before i had my own handle. thanks for playing a part in getting me into caching =)
Tried to do this one a year ago, but there was a person sitting at GZ. Back again and found it absolutely covered in snails - my second snail cache in a row. I think that I must have squished some of them when replacing the cache, sorry snails. TFTC.
Found it after a couple of unsuccessful cross country approaches. Nice spot, lots of snails. Took geo-coin. TFTC
Had to wait while some boy racers who were nearby moved on. Then it was a quick find.

Snails on the cache container had to find a new home. Took TB John Deere. Will drive it to Nelson.
Easy find. Cool views, and hiding place.
Left John Deere TB & Uplifted "Praha" Prague Geocoin.

After Launch Pad this was a very pleasant place to stop and admire the view. The water was sparkling. Cache quick and easy to find.
Found with our caching buddies Don Keyotee.
Nice spot by the harbour on a lovely day. Swapped some stuff.

Must have been in the geocaching groove as it took exactly 0 seconds to find this cache. Well, perhaps not zero seconds, but something very close to it. Thanks for the cache.
Mrs BaldEd and I had a nice stroll along the stopbank from It’s a dog’s Life cache. TNLN T4TC.
Walked here from the doggy cache. Was able to see the hiding spot from a good 20-30m away! Cheers Gav [1907]
Judging from next finder comments I must get Andre (3yrs) to hide the cache more carefully. Cheers. Enjoyed the spot.
After sunset so not a heck of a lot of folks about, only those staying in their boats moored next door. A quick find thanks.
1989. Another quick find as the GPS zeroed us straight in to the spot. An interesting area that is mostly deserted at this time of night.
Thanks

Our last cache of the day, as on boat left. Cache not quite placed as we expected, so took a while to find. Thanks
Suprisingly first! But only just! (Hi BK&J) Tricky wee spot too. Just as well PB checked places I'd already looked.
Went for a little detour as J biked to work. Came across some suspicious characters fossicking around in the grass. Let Annie and PB do all the hard work. TNLN, TFTC.
Third to visit this spot today.
Perhaps this cache could be called mystery of the silver tin as everyone has commented about wondering whats in the silver tin in the cache. TFTC.

Moneydork snuck this one out and started logging it while I was still looking for it. TFTC.
