Did not find. Looked for about 30mins. I think it might of been muggle because of lack of hiding. Any tips as would love to go back and find it.
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun but no luck today. Sigh. Thanks for placing the cache.
Found it thank you. There was a lot of water in the container. I've poured the water out and placed it back.
Reached GZ and poked around , moved dirt everywhere but still no cache , signs of mugging are present
The box was opened when I first saw it. I put items I saw back in the box but not sure if that's all. I think it needs a bit maintenance the log is wet as well.
The cache was opened and little items are dropped around the box. Tried to put everything back and close the box but I think it needs maintenance. Thanks for the cache!
Nice drop. Next person bring a pen as the pencil is broken. Wish I could write my name down!
Being in need of a calendar gap cache for today I took a little diversion through Paddington, after finishing my night shift, to have a look at this one. Parked the geomobile very close to the maze, in Neild Avenue, and then headed over for a look.
The maze is looking a bit worse for wear at present, lacking any decent foliage density, but I imagine it would look very nice given a bit of TLC & some growth time. Anyway the sparseness of foliage made the task of cache detection a quick and easy process, having CIH within a minute or so. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.
Thanks bonaccordians for bringing me to this interesting little horticultural feature, tucked neatly between the suburban buildings, and for the cache itself.

I was in the area today for work, so thought I'd try for this one nearby. Quite a cool little park, with a unique tiny hedge maze. Finding the cache was no trouble at all. Signed and replaced, and was on my way. TFTC

#3016 (2 of 3 today) (Streak day 364)
Today was lunch in the city with fellow ex-work colleagues, so afterwards I had a wander to this new cache - one which was I not retired I may well have got the First2Find at - work being only 200 or so metres away But I digress.
Once finished I grabbed two more on the way home as darkness descended.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
After leaving the city and getting back to my car, this cache was the closest and it has only recently been replaced.
Parked around the corner and as the light was starting to fade made my way to GZ. Yes, not much of a maze after pruning. Maybe this is more *A-RAZE* at the moment.
Checked what I thought were the two most likely spots. Nothing. Then cast my gaze around for any other possibilities and soon spotted something suss.
CIH!
No one was here today so made the grab and completed signing duties in peace. Then replaced as found.
Fascinating spot. The loss of vegetation certainly makes this easier to find - and I suspect get muggled as well.

Quick find - helped by the lack of any cover from the maze. Mid morning find and all was quiet so no problem retrieving and signing the log. TFTC
Thanks for the amazing geocache. We had great fun finding it and will definitely come back when the maze has regrown.
Pruning helps encourage growth for plants so when this hedge grows back it'll be more beautiful than it was before. TFTC.
the Maze has been pruned quite dramatically. It looks nothing like the photo. I wonder what the reason for that is (?) . New cache box in place.
It's a spot worth having on the map. I urge the CO to replace it and bring it back online
Had a quick look in the hinted at place, but no find. The maze has just under gone some major pruning and may have been removed/relocated by muggles.
I looked yesterday and could not find it.. thus.... and where are the 2 benches that used to be in the back of the maze?? no more sitting and meditating I'm afraid..."we don't want people SITTING here..." sigh
I took quite a while to poke around this amazing spot, but unfortunately came up empty. Due to all the recent rain the ground was really mucky, so it made it difficult to poke around, although I gave it my best shot.
Although I didn't find it, I wanted to say thanks for bringing me here - I'm disappointed I couldn't give it a favourite point.

This week I'm babysitting a store our company recently acquired, while the manager is on holidays.
Nice to have such a cool cache location around the corner.
Easy find but still a good hiding spot.
Tree cover will always mess with your GPS, so put it away
Cheers!

After a hint from a friend, I could make another attempt. Great place, but next person might want to bring another pencil or sharpener. Tftc
That geocache was a tricky one but i found it in the end. Thank you for making me get out of the house and go exploring.
Found after a 10 minute search. Coords a bit off, might want to check this. TFTC SL TNLN
So many leaves! Spent a long time searching and found a lot of junk but alas no cache. Would love to know where it is... Thanks anyway for showing us this great place.
I am running out of ideas... i feel like i looked everywhere, in and ot of the maze
wow. we were just about to ask for help from daughter and son-in-law who found this one some time ago when Mr close - by spotted it. TFTC Took travel bug.
I've said this before and I'll probably say it again, but I never knew this was here! I'll add another favorite to make it an even ten to help out cachers looking to get the souvenir this month. Tftc!
Grabbed this one strategically after ultimate84 so I could earn the road trip souvenir. Love this little garden. Tftc!
Had a good look last night and spent ages this morning. Seeing as we are in autumn, there is a lot more leaf litter than usual around. When you remove the tape please let me know if I need to make another visit.
there is red and white plastic tape across the entrance. There seems to be no work going on so I don't know why someone would tape it off. I'm going down there one night to remove it. Just jump the tape if you wish to search for the cache.
Appears to be shut off due to the weather. A mate claims he found this gigantic maze in Paddington in the dead of night after drinking. It probably is gigantic for kids.
Woo! Successfully completed the maze, and found myself a cache. Watch out for mosquitoes!
TFTC!

Not a difficult find, but wow did I itch after this one. Don't know whether I'm allergic to the maze hedges or some little biting thing...oh well. Physical misery is imperative for a good caching experience. I left one TB and took the geocoin, just to keep things moving. Didn't see any other of the listed TBs in the cache. TFTC!
TFTC. Took Chives seeds left a yellow golf ball. Left NL Geocoin, took Saggitarius Geocoin TB.
Yes it is an amazing little garden park nestled in amongst some great old Paddington homes. Nice to get your hands on a large cache occasionally.
Found it well we went one time had a good 20mins look around but no luck i really wanted to find so we came back on a rainy day this might help have a rest and sit diwn for a minute look for straps
What a cute maze
But i couldn't find the cache after spending a good 20 mins and mozzies chewing on my legs! I will be back

A neatly hidden maze, with a cache as a bonus. Used the adult height cheat to get thru quickly. May not be safe for TBs, most listed aren't there. Did find one unlisted and left it for the next finder. TFTC
Pretty cool spot, so glad I had geocaching to take me to it. We spotted a beautiful butterfly near GZ then grabbed and signed the log quickly to hightail it out of there to escape the mozzies. TFTC!!!
Took amilyo to find her first geocache. Took some stickers and left a little octopus
Awesome little hideaway park! Spotted it before the geokids Took coin, left coin. (EDIT: notes that PWSA trackable was dropped off)

Wow, what a special place in suburbia. So well maintained and a perfect antidote to a hot day.
Fast find on a lovely day. Dropped off our Honigmond coin, hope it will find the way back home. T4TC StOl #2820
Walking back to our hotel, I realised there was one traditional just behind a corner so a quick change of course and hunting! What a cool maze Have to say that I cheated... left one GC in, thanks for the cache!
Found our first cache ever. Failed miserably at other locations but finally found a cache.
Tried this a few months ago at night in the rain to no avail! Got straight to it this time. Enjoyed the maze thanks.
#4 on the tour de bonaccordians. Thanks for bringing us here. Who would have thought this little gem would exist here?!
We also found four baby hats. Really. We speculated a little too grimly on the reason for their presence. Spooky!

Yeehaw! Finally got to visit this place and sort of 'complete' this sector on the map. Thanks bonaccordians, i'm positively pooped after todays cache tour!
12:35 Initially found an agorascope in an opposite corner. Was a little worried about the nearby windows but it turned out I needn't have been.
Cache dry and in good condition. Left a paper rose. None of the trackables were seen here.

Found it! Great maze to solve as well. Placed my blue flower in the cache. It is all the way from England. Thanks
Back to this one 2 months after reporting it muggled to find it in great condition with new container.
Well done CO on getting it back online

Has been well and truly muggled
Found paper cache instructions and log on the ground and nothing else
May have been other stuff around but it was too dark to see
Tried to put paper out of harms way but not sure if successful
