Didn't find it, but then noticed today it had been archived since I put it in my GPS. Played in playground anyway which was fun, especially the "wheel o death". Smile

In the city to scout out a site for a new cache location and capture a few munzees.

Alas no luck here. Mr Felix climbed almost into the tree but still no luck!

Yep nice park. Easy find. No syringes here although i did dispose of a pack full of them in a similar hiding place at cache 'Before the Faull'. Thanks for showing me this nice place.

Nice quiet park in a busy suburb. Very disappointing to hear about the syringe. First day of using an extendable mirror, best caching tool ever. TFTC

WARNING CAUTION WARNING !!!!!!!!!!
Cache was in a place where it is difficult to see. I retrieved the cache from its spot but noted something next to it. Thinking it was a pen I got it and realised it was a used syringe!!!!!!!! Some #$*&*@! junky must have shot up there and decided to leave a thoughtful present for the numerous children that frequent this park (there were children playing on the equipment at the time!). I disposed of the needle in the bin right next to the tree, obviously this was too hard for the subhuman cretin.

Cachers be very careful about where you put your hands in this area. I used to live around the corner and was hesitant to walk around highgate after dark.

Despite this, TFTC it is a great park. Wear shoes though.

Decided to leave for work a few hours early and pick up a few straggling
Caches that has been published since my last visit to the area....

Had to really stretch to get this one !!!!

Stopped for a quick find in this nice little park. Few mugglers around during our visit. TFTC
 
26-May-11
(Not sure of the date; the GC.com Android app didn't log it properly!)

After admiring the nice old houses in the area, we had a good look at the snails on this tree, including a _really_ good look in one particular cranny.
We then sat and inspected our snails and wrote about them in our snail-finders' notebook, then had another good look at one particular spot on the tree.
(Well, that's what anyone watching would've thought, we hope!)

Took a return visit to avoid muggles but is now another smiley on the world map, for me at least anyway.

Took TB's

14-May-11
Had to wait for a muggle to finish smoking near the GZ before my brother and I made an easy find. Retrieval was a little trick though. TFTC
 
14-May-11
Joined bsurin65 for the hunt and came up with goods fairly easily, even though retrieval was tricky. TFTC! L TB
 
13-May-11
Lots of little nooks and cranies to hide a cache. I didn't remember that it was a sistema container, that would have narrowed it down a bit but I found it in the end.

Walked over from the previous cache. Took a while as I thought that I was looking for something smaller.

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find after Forrest 2. TFTC.

We had to out-wait a muggle sitting in the park on a bench very close to GZ. Luckily for us he didn't stay too long and as soon as he showed signs of movement we hopped out of the car and made a quick but not easy find. Thanks for the hunt.

Dropped by after work on a wet day in Perth, and isolated the right object straight away, from having looked at the location on the Google Maps before I left the office, so didn't even need to pull out the iPhone/GPS. Finding the actual spot where the cache was hidden proved to be a bit harder, and I wasn't about to climb the tree in my bike shoes, as the cleats make it quite slippery. So after a few rounds of the tree, and wary of people watching from nearby houses, I resorted to other methods to find the plastic, and was soon rewarded.

Replacing the cache was easier than retrieving it Smile Thanks for taking me to this nice park col & grez!

Outlook express said you have mail and I said to the misses geocache and sure enough geocaches. So of we go, We legged it to highgate. We were looking around for a while then I looked at it again on the droid phone and got the bit I was missing.
At 5 foot 4 ish and a coupe of easter beers it was hard but the job got done and we got the first to find.
