For some reason we looked for this one today - didn't realize that it had been archived. We soon understood that we wouldn't find it though, after noticing the wizzy was missing....
After having a look around GZ. & seeing what the council have done.
I have decided to Archive this one

It Apperes that this cache has gone MIA i em disabling it till i can check to see if there is anything that i can do.
Went to this park today to look for this one only to find that not only has the cache been muggled but the whole Dizzy Roundabout thingy has been removed, so ithink its fairly safe to say this one is missing sorry Rigger64
Its not the cache thats MIA its the whole whizzy dizzy. Here is a photo of Daryllm123's kids standing at GZ! It will be interesting to see if the whizzy comes back or if the council has decided (in our nanny state) that it is too dangerous!
We also found the wizzy gone - confused the youngest wacky who went for the grab some what!
But you're ahead of us!

With no one around this afternoon it made it easy to search for this cache. Found with RollaB. TFTC.
I lived in this area 22+ years ago When the area between Hummerstone Rd and Seaford Rd was a paddock. We used to ride our bikes, build cubby houses, and just generally use the area as our playground.Did a drive by my old house as we left for the next cache.
We found this cache at 2:00pm as the 12th of 13 on a Middle of the Day Caching Expedition. Not as easy as the first one as I had to do a whole lap and a half as I missed it first time past. Thanks from D & HA B-A.
While the rest of the gang were still at the comps, Snake pulled up to the park solo, unsure whether it would be possbile to complete this one. Luckily there was nobody about, and he was able to use the equipment as a giant Lazy Susan to find the cache. Thanks for the cache!
We normally shy away from caches in this type of area but with drizzling rain and a bitterly cold wind blowing the park was totally deserted so we thought that we would have a quick look. We were fortunate that we located it quickly, signed the log and then headed back to the warm car
Thanks Rigger 64 for the cache

Found it in the light drizzle and cold wind that was happening today.
Had to reach under a bit.
Hid it pretty much where I found it so be aware that it's not simple to find.

Seems we had all our luck with dizzy surroundings at our previous stop. This time, we did the 'rounds' three times by feel, then got down and looked closely for another couple of circuits. Maybe the container itself became dizzy and fell off, but we failed to spot it either on the structure or on the ground below. Hope it's still there somewhere and we just couldn't see it for looking.
TFTC, Nice easy find; maybe looked a little wierd with 3 people on their stomachs looking under the equipment. Joint find with Bla16 and Zogdog; after find had trouble getting these two off the equipment.
14-07 6th find of the day at 12:30 and 1086th find in total.
Ideal place for a cache on a quiet day like today.
Had a lot of fun playing here.
(''\(OoO)/'') Thanks Rigger64 for the caching fun!

Arrived at the designated starting point to find another caching vehicle just about to leave. Said hello to 3up before heading off for the whiz around cache. Found pretty quickly and no muggles around. Thanks Rigger for the cache.
Find # 1431 @ 13:25
The GPSr took me to the parking spot and after a short walk, I had the hide in hand very quickly. I was just about to leave when a couple of Swaggies arrived. We had a brief chat and I headed off in pusuit of some more hides. SL Thanks Rigger64!

Fortunately there were no muggles here today - too cold! As I approached GZ there was another person there who turned out to be a new cacher. Between us we had a look for the cache but came up blank. A more intensive search then had the hide, and after a brief chat we went our separate ways. Thanks to Rigger64 for the cache.
i just look but i almost give it up .... man almost give me a fight.... a guy walk to me so i said nothing but he know me ...he sign to me ... i said yes...phew... i feel so releif safe ...lol.... i thought he ask me what wrong but he show me geo ... i feel so releif it....then both keep look but alansee found it.... i really happy he found it not me ... it was nice to chat with him about 10 mins ...small world he know of my friend its great to talk with him....
It took a little bit of around and around time to locate this one, but it was soon in hand. TFTH...SL...TNLN
Got dizzy before, becoming an expert here!
Fortunately, no muggles on the equipment today.
Had to go most of the way around, but found it.
Thanks, Robmc.

Rob had found a cache similar to this before so I stood back and let him make the find.
So many playgrounds today but luckily so few children.

Found @ 9.25pm #171. Did this on a cold night, thought there would be less muggles that way after our experience at a Dizzy Cache.

Found @ 20:55 with davroy on this cold wet and windy night. Why are we out here !! Any way felt around for it and felt it after moving only a metre from my start point. Glad for that as knees were getting wet. TFTC SL
This one was so close to home, but I was away when it was published. Don't you just hate that!
After parking the car wandered over to see a couple of muggle mums with kids, and a suspicious looking character examining the dizzy feature. I asked whether he had found it, and he looked much relieved. A pleasure to meet you Oakeydog!
I think the meeting looked less conspicuous than a single loiterer, and we decided that fluoro vests would be a useful addition to the caching kit. Thanks once again Rigger for the cache.

These types of Caches that can be found with out a GPSrs always seam to amuse me, the hardest thing I found was making the grab while muggle Ladies. kids and dogs were hanging around GZ, after a drive around the block and a short wait they moved on to the next equipment hmmm this was going to be difficult with out the kids, well I just had to bite the bullet and go in for the grab .The hole time I was looking it felt like someone was watching me then that feeling turned to someone approaching me, Oh no! I think I’m in trouble , I turned around to face the person and the first thing I see was a GPSrs in his hand and then he says have you found it yet arrr relief. After a quick introduction, it turned out to be Starruby, we both agreed that fluro vests and clip boards and the excuse of checking play equipment after receiving complaints about people experiencing dizzy spells around GZ lol .
Any way nice to meet Starruby and thanks for the caching fun Rigger maybe you could re name cache the “Meeting placeâ€

A dizzying attempt with a strange muggle texting and overseeing the hide. Foolishly we thought we would be able to beat the local FTFers, but no, as we wondered how we would retrieve the cache with the "muggle" watching us, Mr Jibblets ran into the park and hit the "muggle" on the back. Coverthypnosis smiled back. We were doomed. He already had had the cache in hand. Introductions all round and the log signed. Joint STF I think with Mr Jibblets
Next an informal flash mob took place as we were joined by the Bearsleys and then Rigger 64. After a nice conversation it was back to take EB13 and EB Max to football.
Thanks Rigger for the cache and the event

Gave PT539 a quick call after this one popped up to find he was just leaving the house. Told him to meet me down the park at the end of Erwin drive. We both know the park well. After a short spin the cache was in hand and signed. Quickly placed back. I stayed on to see if anyone turned up expecting some of the local cachers. First one suspect couple arrive and start to walk around the park looking suspicious, then they wonder back to there car. Still acting like a muggle I begin to wonder around the park as I give the cache owner a call. I slowly stroll towards the dizzy device knowing that's where the couple will want to return. Then before I know it I hear foot steeps approaching from behind at a rapid pace, only to be tapped on the shoulder by MrJibblets. The gig was up. I had been busted for not being a muggle and the search began for STF. After the log book was signed we headed back to our cars to see bearsleys just arrive. We all stood around and had a mini event. Next rigger64 arrived and a good 30 hours passed till we departed out separate ways. *FTF* TFTC
Gee, you've got to be quick round here. Got quite excited when I picked up an email at 1.12 pm, timed at 11.27 am, just 1 3/4 hours before on a Sunday and it's only 11.9 kms away. Let's grab the coords and go! No, there's a log! What, FOUR teams PLUS the owner?? ALREADY? OK, let's have lunch instead!
Wow never knew so many cachers can find one cache in so little time
5 found in about an hour joint find with saulman1010

The Bearsley boys (Andy and Bass) were home alone when this cache came up. So we jumped on the car and headed out to see if we could nab a FTF while the girls were out.
However at gz we were greeted by Mr & Mrs Earthbound, Covert, Mr Gibblets and Rigger who must have heard there was a party at his newly placed cache.
We all had a good yak. Bass patted the dogs, then went off for a spin while I calibrated the compass. Silly me! I should have just followed him. Fourth to find.
Thanks all for the impromptu get-together and cheers from Team Bearsleys!

Wow, I saw this cache pop up and seeing that i was heading that way, i thought i'd have half a chance of a FTF.
But upon arrival i spotted the usual suspect not far from the cache so i made a quick dash to startle him, before noticing what i thought were 2 muggles that turned out to be Earthbound Chief after a breif introduction we found the cache without any hassle's.As we made our way back to the cars the bearsley's and the cache owner made an appearance making this nearly an unofficial event
We all stood around for a good half hour trading storie's which was enjoyable.
