Yeah, went for a look and couldn't find it myself. Through several DNFs that turned out to be just DNF, it looks like it finally got muggled.

Sorry folks. Archiving this one.

Looked for quite a while and even using the hint which is quite specific, we had no joy.

Looked twice now. Sure am in right place but no cache found.

Quick find at 9.30am, I'm late for a meeting, but I'm on a roll... What do you do? Cheers.

Quick and easy find. Moving geocoin southwards...

Success on our second cache for the morning after a DNF at the last cache. Dropped off Team Chelmo geocoin. TFTC

Found fairly easily but had to wait a while, while muggles with children on the play ground were looking the other way. Undercover 007 experience is definitely an advantage

Nice little park and easy find swap the sinal to Tennese for the Tuit

Took a bit of hunting this one, but we managed to winkle it out eventually. The small cachers took advantage of the playground. Dropped off a the "Signal to Tennessee" on its way to Tennessee. Thanks for showing us another wee park that we didn't know existed.

no problems here, many thanks
+TB: DW28WR & -Geocoin: UNKDXD

No muggle problems on a cold night. Found fairly quickly.

The 10 yo muggle girl eventually decided she had had enough of sharing the playground with some weirdo adults and bailed out. A challeging hide at this time of year with all the leaves about.
Many thanks

Really had to be patient here. The Nut & Zorgon were fortunate not to be alone here. Had to wait out a junior muggle on a swing who watched us intently as we played on the see saw. Felt a bit mean that she eventually left, and we could get on and find the cache. Left the Diabetes geocoin, and uplifted the Baja Bug TB.

Took a bit of searching to find this one but success was sweet, cheers.

2nd cache on today's cycle caching mission. A nice convenient seat served as a suitable place to wait out the departure of a suddenly arrived canine muggle and his owner. + Baja Bug TB. Thanks for the cache.

Had some business out this way, so dropped off for a cache or 2. Cold and wet. TNLN, Thanks.

FIrst of 3 finds today with a new GPS. Spot on target. A quick grab while occupants in car at roadside where looking the other way. TFTC TNLN

Have changed the word bush to plant where necessary. Guess I'm not much of a horticulturalist - if it's got leaves and is about so-big, it's a bush.

Took a while, but found on second try. It's a plant not a bush! Those trees play havoc with the GPS. Nice little community playground. TNLN Thank you.

quick find with clue

Dropping off a TB, picking it up again.

Another cache find I neglected to log from 2008, only just noticed as I was listing caches that StreetWalkerNZ had found but I hadn't. Very late log but better late than never. I'm pretty sure that the cache name was a hint about what to expect that the final . TFTC.

Took us a while to find it, but after rechecking the clue we did find the cache. Of course it didn't help it was dark Cheers Gav [2139]

Dropping FM1 in.

Took quite a search to find this one.
At least we didn't have any muggle issues searching in the dark of night.
TFTC.

#182. Found with Troodles. Took us a while (luckily few muggles around). Found clue a little misleading.

Done.
TNLN, TFTC

Second go at this one for us. We tried a few weeks ago but failed miserably. Returned today and had it in hand within 20secs. Hmmm bizarre how the mind works. TNLN Cheers!

We drove past b4 but too many muggles.
This time only cats to contend with.
Very easy find .. don't know why we missed it last time
TFTH

Took a bit of looking and was nearly at the point of giving up, but aha! got it. Relief.

You could argue if its a bush or a plant. Pretty close to the playground, so need to time visit carefully. TFTC

Say no more, but a coin visited

With a Jeep TB as reward for finding this cache was not going to leave empty handed. Found after checking the hints. - Jepp TB

[Finally got it. Armed with the new clue I looked ]in the tops of the agapanthus rather than under them[ and there it was! (Actually it was no longer covered at all so I made sure I covered it up before I left). Took 2 Geocoins left a Jeep TB.]

Cache is still snugly nesting in its correct spot. Have modified the difficulty level on this one since it's apparently so hard to find.

When I entered the park tonight to check on it, I found a car in the park doing wheelspins on the grass. Cheeky blooming hoons!

Too tricky for us..

YAY I went back today and finally got this cache I did have to use the new clue, I have dropped off coin #SCA4W3 to continue its journey, cheers and thanks.

I'm sorry to those that haven't found it. The cache is still snugly in place in the same place all but the FTF found it. I will update the clues to be a little more helpful in the hopes that this reduces the DNFs.

I do apologise guys and girls - this isn't meant to be a difficult one!

Didn't really get much of a look for his one as some young school aged muggles had taken an interest in what I was up to and I didn't want to give the cache away.

mmmm I arrived at the GZ found another person sitting right about where the GPS was pointing so I sat in truck and waited and waited until they finally left as she left I thought I spotted a GPS , I had a real good look around and couldnt locate the cache, I left after about 40 minutes of hunting , While heading down the road I spotted the same person and this time I could definatly see the GPS I stopped and spoke to her she was on holiday from the USA but also had know luck with this cache,, hopefully its still there somewhere. cheers

Checked on it this morning. Seems to be a popular walk-through route to work and school, but managed to find a between-muggles moment to investigate. Cache is snugly tucked into the correct spot.

Try again.

I'm with Spudmyster on this one! Tried this on Friday (15/2/08) but on emerging from my initial hunt was met by a muggle taking a short-cut through the park. Thankfully he was not quick on the uptake and just chatted about the weather. Tried another quick hunt when he'd gone but was now feeling jittery and left when I noticed nearby curtains twitching.
Went back today (19/2/08). Hunted and hunted but no joy. GPS pointed to one spot that definately fit the clue and I also tried another spot that fits and also is closer to the dead hedgehog mentioned in a previous log. All to no avail.

Was definitely still there after team Spud's visit, but will recheck again tomorrow night given this other DNF.

[xx(] we looked but had no luck.
Not fair when everyone else says it's easy!!
We'll be back!

A quick find in the park with no one about. TNLN Thanks.

TFTC. took a lit bit to find. muggles playing in playground. nice stamp.

Great cache. 2nd find for today.
Looked everywhere trying to be not that obvious because muggles very nearby.I thnk it was a good luck charm because once the muggles left we found it!
Saw a dead hedgehog once left quite near cache.
Ugh!The freaky thing was once we did our first cache for today and their was a dead hedgehog right next to that cache as well.

Easy find in an exposed little park - like the cow theme. Left geocoin Took cute turtle TB. TFTC SL

cache very well hidden, even when we knew we were in right gz, i had to actually put my hand right on it before discovering the location, tfth

2028. It was a quick find in a rather deserted area today so that made it easy for us to look straight away.

We left the Maus TB and the Karma coin.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Thanks Grandalf. Container is now camo, smaller, and better hidden in same coords.

Once again, another tiny reserve I've never seen before. Luckily, there were no playground muggles or even faces watching from the nearby houses. Cache was an easy find (and FTF at 4:00pm)- too easy in fact, as it should best be painted camo. The cover is too easily moved by wind, and the Council gardeners could easily "clean" it away. Coords and instructions were fine. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1069)
