Dear geocachers,
We hope to get this geocache back up and running before September.
Thank you for your co operation. natnatnat

Hi All,

This Geocache has been disable because of the danger of the ramp.
It is colapsing and is in need of repair, we hope to be improving this geocache so it is safe for geocachers to go and see.

Sorry for the inconvienece.

I spent a considerable amount of time looking for this but with no luck. Given that there have now been several DNFs it may be worth the owner checking this one out. Having said that, given that the structure is very unsafe as it is falling to bits and that there are nails sticking out in interesting places, the location in general may need some thought.

The structure appears to be very unsound and I have concerns as to safety aspect of bringing cachers to this.

Couldn't find.

Searched and searched but DNF.

Wow- I felt lucky to find this as I wasn't aware I was looking for a nano- so I must have just looked in the right spot!- took a few minutes though as the GPS was a little bit straying! Thanks

Interesting place.

Cool ramp. Took us a while, GPS had us further along than we needed to be so found with the help of the hint. TFTC

A nice day today..but no golfer around. The BMX ramps is little past its time but nice to see. Didnt read the size of cache ...looked and looked and there it was.TFTC

Hi Geocachers

I am doing a survey on my geocaches to see if they need improvement, could you please send my a review of any of my geocaches and send it to my email.

Thank You

Kind regards

This is my type of riding, pity it's not ridable anymore. Tftc. SL

A crazy looking BMX ramp! We took a bit of time to find it, but finally saw it when we looked from the right angle.

DNF, but will take a closer look when in the area again.

Took us a bit of time but found it! TFTC

This was a fun cache.
Ms M finally found it. Her granny steps were smaller than mine.

Took a while to find, didn't help that I checked the final hide three times before I found it TFTC natnatnat

This ramp was not what I was expecting. Maybe this was made by the scouts, as scout leaders ourselves found this hilarious. So many nails, and the scouting term we use a lot with our scouts work sometimes is "so much s**t something has to hold", even if it is to hold a nano.

Missed the track, it was pretty tricky going through the thinned pines. Soon found the cache on site. My name is a little hard to see on the log sheet, but is in purple pen. SL Found track and easy way back. TFTC

Sweet find with kuntnz

Never new this existed!

Nice afternoon for a stroll down the ridge to nab this with Little Blue Hen. Very glad to have the hint for this one and managed to avoid the spikes which would be a trap for young players. A crash off this BMX track would be a prickly experience and one could end up nailed. TFTCSL

Didn't know this existed but probably not surprising as I don't BMX. Wouldn't try it on this ramp. T4TCSL

Sneaky one - needle in a haystack!

Had to sit for a while before spotting it right next to me. TFTC Felix!

Interesting spot thanks

Good

Took quite a bit of looking before I found it. Had to be careful not to scrag my head open on the sharp protrudences. Sure glad my tetanus shots are up to date. SL TFTC

Having had a cache published last year to mark the date 09/09/09 ([url=http://coord.info/GC1YAXV]999 GC1YAXV[/url]), I thought I had better find a cache on 10/10/10 and Yeetrees and I thought this one looked handy. It turned out to be a tricky nano to spot, but got there in the end. Nice to meet haddonjw, who came out of nowhere and muggled us in action at GZ! Hopefully the scouts will do a woodworking badge before completing the BMX ramp!

Found this afternoon after about a 15 minute search - a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack with a container this small. This cache should properly be described as a nano rather than the micro type which is what I was looking for. The GPSr was wandering a bit under the trees and never got me closer than about 5 metres, so definitely needed to make good use of the hint. That BMX ramp definitely has seen better days! Signed log, TFTC.

Found this cache after deciding it was a good day to go out and get a cache. Found this one after a bit of a search, you have got to love these sort of caches especially while you are searching for a cache and then to get muggled by a new cacher, haddonjw, great to meet you and look forward to seeing you out there again. Searching for a nano in a forest is kind of like searching for a needle in the haystack, BUT persistence's does pay off in the end. TFTC TNLNSL (2217)

#1580. FTF @ 11:50. Interesting to see BMX tracks on a golf course. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found it after a looonnngg time of searching! That was a mean one

Quickly found myself off the green and in the rough but still managed a hole in one.
Pity to see such a small hide in an area that could accommodate something much bigger, but I did enjoy the added difficulty level.

Found it and some other cachers! Tricky find SL TFTC

Very tricky! TFTC
