i think lost

Nothing hanging around snapper rock today think this one has been washed away with all the rain that we have had lately.

No luck for us today. It wasn't where the GPS told us it was and there was some kind of bee convention going on around all of the cabbage trees, litterally thousands of them swarming all around so we didn't want to search any closer to other possible hangouts! Will come back in the dead of winter when the bees are huddled up in their hive!

Lots of muggles around here today

Wire broke at top end so was tied back, But wire not looking good. should be replaced with fishing line.

Quick find while in the area.

Tide was out today with all this fine weather.

Almost feels like you are on there front lawn. Didn’t feel very comfortable, but quick find. TFTC

4923 Caught a nice Schnapper cache while hanging around the rocks... thanks for an interesting lesson on the stormwater ponds.

with nov17 having given up on caching i was back to taking out mondoolix and daaaave for cache trips. a bit slippery at gz but no trouble with the find. thanks

Bit exposed for my liking, but its a clever hide.

Felt rather "Exposed" looking for this one as the house overlooking GZ is really close. Had to make sure I got in and out quickly which thankfully I did. TFTC

Out geocaching with DKQuadrant
Very clever... took a few minutes before we spotted it

Cheers for the cache.

I arrived just as Team Welsh made the find. I made myself useful by signing the log. Thanks.

Found this just as Trout-Fly turned up, nice to catch up again. TFTC

No luck with my first cache of the day. Cache seemed to be very close to the house and I didn't want to break my legs on the slippery rocks.

Very close to home-we walk past here often-thanks for the interesting article-nice hide.Dan found a rabbit to chase too-tftc

Kiwicouple's First to Find Geocoin visiting.

Finally caught up to FMZ as we approached the third cache of the night, and Rosmar pulled up close behind. Headed for GZ and began to search. Very tricky walking on slippery rocks with a GPS in one hand and a torch in the other. Took a short while to locate, but eventually spotted the cache. Cunning placement! TFTC and a joint FTF with FMZ, Rosmar and ourselves. FTF # 232

# 2166

Carrying on to the next on the list of tonight's new publications, arrived in convoy with FMZ to find kiwicouple had also just arrived. Took some time to locate this one as it was well hidden but another blank log for us to sign FTF T4TC.

Coming in convoy to this one with rosmar, we took a wrong turning. Got back on track and just before arriving at the cache site kiwicouple caught up with us. It was pretty wet and slippery from the recent rain, but between the 5 of us it didn't take too long to locate the cache. Nice hide, and some interestign info about how storm water ponds work - more to them than big puddles after all! The next cache back in Greenhithe was published while we were seaching here so this joint FTF was 3rd of 4 for us tonight. TFTC!!!
