As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Could not find. Looked in obvious places- under big tree in hollow and couldn't find. See picture attached. Has this been muggled?
 
23-Feb-16
Looks like the cache has been muggled. Will attempt to place a new log in the next week or two.

Didn't have much time today for caching but managed to spare a few minutes to get this cache. Parked up at GZ and located the area easily enough. However, the cache was completely exposed and one of the two caches had clearly been muggled with the top and logbook missing in the tube. Decided to check the other cache and it only had one piece of paper with no writing. Signed the paper making it the logbook and took the tube. Will contact CO to return the tube. Thank you for the lovely hide, nice park!

Yippee our first find.... but we forgot our pen. Will remember for next time. Beautiful park just around the corner and we have only lived here 12 years.
 
09-Nov-15
Wow!! What a cool little reserve, would never have known!! TFTC:-) signed both logs like previous peeps.
 
28-Oct-15
As stated by previous logs there were 2 containers at GZ, so as previous loggers did we signed both. Nice little reserve.

Went out for a drive and to collect some caches tonight. My mission didn't last long, having decided to wear light clothes and the wind was gusty and freezing. As such this was the only cache I managed this evening!

I found two containers at GZ, one was a metal berrocca type tube, the other a plastic large pill bottle ... both with logs in them, so I signed both.

A nice reserve in a peaceful street - disturbed by the traffic noise from the nearby motorway Sad

TFTC.

21-May-15
Back down this way for a work related conference for the rest of the week, but as having had to return the car it was now time to make the most of shanks pony and collect a few caches on the way back to the hotel before setting up for the day and all the delegates that will be attending. At least at this time of the day the area is all quiet and not too many issues with muggles about.

This was the sixth of the morning and it was still well dark but managed a quick find along the empty streets.

thanks for the placement

A very secluded little reserve which probably doesn't get many visitors (apart from the odd geocacher or two). Lovely mature trees so a cool location on a warm day.
A quick find and a nicely hidden cache. TFTC.
 
26-Nov-14

20/08/2014 1:03 pm Find #3633 Two caches for the price of one! This has only happened to me on two previous occasions. I had a sense of deja vu in coming to this park....I think I've been here before to look for this cache? Maybe there were people in the park and I left it for another day which I guess is today. A quick find of both caches and I signed both logs. Awesome. I was going to leave a travel bug but the cache sizes are more micro than small. Thanks Rats44.

08-Jun-14
Quick find today, with the extra bonus of 2 x caches in the exact same place. I suspect the previously suspected muggle trophy has been returned or simply resurfaced. TFTC.

Without Geocaching you would not know that these places exist. Short detour from some other caches in the area and a quick find. But the needs maintenance note makes sense - not quite sure for how long the logbook will be useable. TFTC
 
08-Aug-13
Great spot, well hidden cache

I was on an after work lunchtime walk and took a short detour to this cache. Didn't take too long to uncover it. Log book is a bit damp but still workable. Not sure for how long though. TFTC, Biggles.

Found it almost immediately, no muggles in sight of the GC to notice what 1eyednbf (1 eyed and proud of it) was up to while I was grappling with the log and the replacement of the cache, Nice Hide. Cool

Saw this one come up on my GPS on the way home from work. Lovely little reserve, one would never know it was there unless they had some reason to travel down the street. Good easy find. Thanks.

Found with ease with the geoboys on a fabulous autumn day. They managed to kick the rugby ball around in the reserve, aiming between the trees, but they still managed to puncture it on tree branches. I suspect the neighbours were wondering why 4 strangers turned up in their park for 10 minutes, then left...
 
10-May-13
This was a nice quick park and grab during my lunch break, to keep my consecutive day cache streak going. Thanks for the cache.

837 - This was my second visit to this reserve. A long time ago I made my first attempt but a neighbour's dog kept watch and I was unable to attempt the find. There was no sign of that dog today so it was full steam ahead. Cache was quickly cornered. Nice. Found with Pokernet. TFTC

After failing at the last cache, I had to find one still!! So I looked for the next closest easily accessible one, so that I could go to bed soon.

Found this one pretty easy actually, as it was in the first place I looked in... and I was very very happy that I don't live in a particular country where looking for a cache like this would not be a very good idea!

So quickly signed the log using my GPS for the light I needed to be able to sign, and see what I was doing!!

Consec Day # 116!!!!!! Whooop WHooooop yaaaaaay yusssss!!! Smile
