rock on bye bye
 
22-Jul-13
2nd attempt without success. Either extremely well camouflaged or it's been muggled. I want to think it's the former. I'll be back.
 
22-Jul-13
due to the muggles it seem a place for them to hide and play so much the rock big as it was is gone so fron to day the rock on has closed BUT if any cachers want please make it there own thanks for the support
 
04-Jul-13
Looked for this one for a few minutes. Lots of rubbish here, in particular a lot of broken glass. Cut myself looking in one area so decided to call it quits without the find in hand. Will have to come back another day.
 
01-Jul-13
After looking really dodgy loitering around, we found the cache and then ran into a whole lot of guys coming out of the squash club. Not dodgy at all!
 
01-Jul-13
Went out with the wife to find this cache. It was getting dark so plenty of cover in the night.

Parked around the corner, then walked back to GZ and had to wait a while for walking and driving muggles to "rock" on by. Finally got the gap in traffic we had been waiting for, and made the grab. Nice hide, thanks.

Nice wee hide, but an easy find. By this stage we realised that we had an old download file and we were missing all the newly published caches. Sad

TFTC master 7 really enjoyed the illusion !
 
12-Jan-12
found a wierd container that we thought was the cache and then we actually found the cache lol, had to wait for a muggle to cross the road with his dog, looked like he'd been standing there waiting for the traffic to clear for hours.. he had a bad day. TFTC
 
03-Jan-12
Found very quickly during Etherlord family's summer caching roadtrip to Levin.
I then spent longer trying to extract the soaked logbook from the cache container. A tissue helped blot sufficient excess moisture for me to sign the log.

Quick early morning find TFTC card7ff*boy
 
20-Nov-11
Easy find while cleaning up the area.
 
20-Nov-11
Good to claim this one after a failure at the previous location. This corner was surprisingly busy on a Sunday morning - had to carefully time both the grab and the return.
 
28-Oct-11
A very quick find on the way north today after having failed dismally a few weeks ago when the cache had disappeared from its previous site. Nicely concealed! Signed log, TFTC!

A nice Illusion cache cardifboy, we were lucky to have our caching eyes in this morning!

Yes it's easy now, didn't even see the items mentioned in the log below, I found it without their help.
But re the comment about expecting this to be more difficult, all of the previous logs except mine and the latest one refer to the old hide which was a real challenge, it's about D1.5 (I did say initially in this post maybe D1 but because of the illusion I guess it could be a little higher.)
 
16-Oct-11
Actually turned out easier than I tought. If you look closely there is a trail of blue dots running almost to the 'pet' rock. The rest is obvious. SL TFTC
 
13-Oct-11
it is wraped in latex for weather proofing **** it is not a used or there again not used condom but a rubber latex glove [:o]
 
13-Oct-11
First to find in new location so I got to sign a blank log Big Grin - nice to finally get this one after the difficulties with the earlier versions. Much better location, still quite a few passing muggles though so care is still needed, hoping this will survive.
Owner has explained about the "internal outer" wrapper, not as scary as I thought but I think a few other people might get worried too!
Forgot to log one TB visit, now fixed. (It wasn't convenient today for me to bring my trackables bag but Thomas came for the ride in my pocket!)
TFTC.

this is the old cach at the levin pool side
it is now moved due to muggles
as you see it move away ( far down the road ) the old cach site is not in use and is not and will not be set as a cach site due to the closeness the 1 site is and will not be activated ( but the new is set up and running sebject to the fellows who allow it

No cache here for me today despite a thorough search and (after a pointer from a previous finder) coming back a second time to search. Is it still there?
 
29-Sep-11
I thought searching for this one would be quite difficult today but I didn't run into any problems.
 
26-Sep-11
We felt too conspicuous here today to continue a search, even though it was early on an ordinary Monday afternoon, when you'd expect the area to be reasonably quiet.
 
26-Sep-11
Looked for this one with geodatum and Tramper Ted. It was just too busy today to search here without drawing attention to ourselves - will try again.
 
26-Sep-11
Felt very conspicuous, even though not many people around, so gave it away. Suggest moving cache over to park area might be a bit more suitable for visiting cachers to find without attracting attention.
 
11-Sep-11
Took a while to find. The rock with the logo on it was covered by others so it was a matter of carrying out a grid search to locate. SL 06:15hr TFTC
 
08-Sep-11
ok so found the 1st cach ( it had been moved by some body ) i have not found the second1 so i re set the first in the hid under the pet rock ( the home of the second cach so all reset )
