time for this one to go.

Sigh!
first stage has been mulched with a weed-eater or some other cache-lethal device. Final has gone altogether.

will hopefully have up and running again.

Finally got back to Devonport with the right equipment to retrieve this cache, but can no longer see cache in its hidey-hole. Sad Could the owner please check on this one.

We found the final cache, but will have to come back to retrieve it. The cache seems to have been pushed a long way in - beyond the reach of fingers.

that is a really good hiding spot but it was quite hard to get out.It needs a new pencil, the other one is gone.

No problems with this cache at all. We counted the lockers, did the maths, worked out the coordinates and loved the different format too - its so easy to convert!
We also must have nimble fingers as the final was in our hands swiftly too. Just as well because the guard looked very vigilant.

Nice Easy multi. Our fingers didn't work to retrieve final...we grabbed a very small paint brush and spoon from the car to extract cache from it's resting spot. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Great little puzzle. Have to be discreet around here, though. Good spot. TNLNSL. Cheers.

No dramas here, quickly found both containers, loved the camo for the intermediate. Great views. Had to be stealthy while retrieving the final, those guards sure have beady eyes. Good hide. Mini YuGeo performed the deed, as he has nimble fingers.

Back in the area to tidy up.
This one was very confusing - Lockers, doors, odd maths, different co-ords. Gave up quickly and used other methods.

Final hard to retrieve - be warned.

Cheers TT

Had all sorts of problems with this, couldn't get the maths to compute, then coordinates in strange formats. Then to cap it off couldn't retreive the cache once I had found it. In full view of the Navy guards this wasn't the place to be mucking about.

However, with some caching skills I have picked up over the years managed to find wp2 without solving the maths; Why count the number of boatsheds in you don't have to use them?

A bit of inginuity was required to extract the cache in the end without looking too suspicious to the nearby guards.

Think this one could do with a bit of checking and putting the coordinates in a format that everyone is used to would help. Otherwise up the difficulty a notch, it had me at my wits end.

TFTC, it is a good location by the way.

Fun little multi. Had to keep an eye on Navy security. Enjoyed the little twist with the coords format. Smile TFTC
 
FTF!

Fun little multi. Nice cammo for the first stage. Final was a bit hard to retrieve.

Thanks!
