may need to be archived as old hiding spot has been removed for a new playground being built
Happened to be in the area and noticed that the old park where this cache was located has been removed.
My car service was completed quickly this morning so I dropped by this park again. With the threat of rain the park was empty. Unless you are 6' tall you will have difficulty reaching this one. For that reason I grabbed my extension grabber before walking to GZ. A grab was quickly made, log was signed before replacing the cache as found. tftc
found but not retrieved. After returning to the car for a tool of assistance I turned around to walk back only to see a mother and child arrive to play on the equipment. Muggled out as I wasn't prepared to wait them out - another day it will be
Found but not signed. As previously noted a nasty wasp hovering around the cache. Photo taken of cache.
Third time lucky! I have been by before, and had a quick look but both times one of the houses at the top of the hill had a muggle watching me. Today I parked around the corner, and some nice resident has mowed a path straight there. I spotted it, but even with my 5'8" height there was no way I could reach it. I will have to put a long handle pair of tongs in my car for future reference. Also there was a "cache minder" close to it and I really didn't want to make it mad, so I didn't sign the log, but took a photo. TFTC
While in the area for a newly published cache we decided to do some others. The D rating attracted us to it. As we got closer we saw a playground but fortunately it was early and no kids about. The Terrain of 1.5 was a bit of stretch as we felt around. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Not being a fan of caches on play ground equipment, under 6ft in height, and on my own all added up to a DNF here.
Out in Kingswood this morning and meet up with Team Merlin at Peppermint Reserve in
order to find our daily cache to keep our streak going. Using the GPS with coordinates in hand we located the park and parked near by. Walking towards the indicated GZ we ended at the play equipment We looked around at GZ for a short while utilizing the height of Team Merlin to located this hidden cache.
It was then after checking the additional hint that we were in the right position and was then Team Merlin came up with the goods. With the cache now in hand we both signed the log before carefully replacing as found. Both the log and cache container are in good condition.

Out in Kingswood this morning and meet up with JJCC at Peppermint Reserve in order to find our daily cache to keep our streak going. Finding a park in Peppermint Crescent in view of the play equipment we walked down the hill and spotted the piece of equipment at GZ. A good ten muggle free minutes was spent looking from every angle but nothing appeared.
Reading the hint for the cache we tackled our hunt from a new perspective and eventually touched something. Now given I am six foot three and I could only just touch this nano at a stetch, height is definitely an advantage if not a necessity in the hunt for this little blitter. With the cache safely now in hand we both signed the log before carefully replacing as found.

#2305 (2 of 6 today)
Decided to head out west this afternoon, for a few finds out Penrith / Mount Druitt way. Didn't find everything I looked for, but still nabbed six.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
As I pulled up in The Hademobile a muggle was standing on his front porch watching me. So I wandered in the vague direction of GZ until he had gone, then homed in for the search. Cache name gave me an idea of where to check, and found it without too much fuss.
Took away to the bench to complete signing duties then back for the replace.

Using weight difference between me and my partner we found the cache hehe fun hide
Luckily the kids were with me to use as a decoy here, found after 10mins, with the playground already occupied, thanks Argeisia a ca
Great spot, fresh log and first people to log on it. (Need to be very tall lol)
This one was really cool love the nano! Wasn't too hard to find if you think anything like me 
Finally found it after a while of jumping to see where it was, log was replaced so it doesn't need maintenance anymore 
TFTC!
TFTC!Crazy, crazy, crazy evil cache. Love it.
Wasn't tall enough to reach it outright, had to jump to find it and replace it.
Note to future finders, take heed of the warning and be prepared for a jumping quest. Log is completely full.

A quick and easy find but I am tall which helped me retrieve the cache. Log is now full. Tftc
Argeisia can you please replace the log, I didn't have a spare nano log on me today. Thank you
TFTC and thank you for the great location. Caches like this make it a worthwhile activity. TNLN
I searched high and low and couldn't find it. This is my first ever geocache activity though
I think I found it but I couldn't get it down. Will have to come back with some help 
This is certainly not one for the vertically challenged! I spotted it but then the question of how to get it down arose. With the help or some nearby sticks it wasn't long before cache was in hand. Returning it was quite the challenge though.
I'm so disappointed! I'll be back in better light with a step ladder!! You will not best me...
From Geo kid: my dad did not believe me when I saw it, but I got dad to trust me and he got it!
Finally found it on third attempt. That was doing my head in. Cannot be seen up close, only when standing on other equipment, did I see it. That wad a good one. TFTC.
Finally! Looked for this one a couple of times but needed geoniece & geonephew to do the stretching & climbing for this one. Yes, height is an advantage but so is having some friends along too! Not easy for one person on their own. But still good fun once it's found. TFTC!
So many first timers with me. Pkmmbl. Great cache had a good time but a long drunken walk at 11-12 pm at night. Tftc
The playground has been roped off, so can't get high enough to look around properly.
Tftc. This one was really fun. Geocacher188 and i thought of a creative way of obtaining this cache.
Was hoping to find this one after midnight and even having to go back to the car to get my tool to make myself taller I still found this one too quickly. Took about 10 minutes to extract log out of cache. SL #1334 TFTC
found it but couldn't get paper out to sign. there was to much paper in it and a little damp.
Woohoo found another nano, log was full, replaced TFTC
