TNLNSL TFTC As stated before, log is for Pump Up The Jam, but cache has velcro and no velcro here to attach. Wedged IT in nice n safe. Is it the right container I wonder?
Found this cache just lying on the ground near the pump structure/feature. Not sure where the actual hiding place is supposed to be, but I will try to find a spot as soon as muggles leave.
I think there is two caches here so the next time someone comes please try to look for two because if you do one of them has Velcro on it which goes to the geocache 200 meters away.
Woo found it it was a good hide tftc. *spoliers*
I couldn't find the Velcro to replace it in the same place so its sitting snugly and hidden next to the old location

Took an early lunch break so I could avoid muggles. A quick and easy find.

Find #1364 at 17:34.
Wow that thing makes some crazy noises!
Found very quickly. Container is rusted and broken and log isn't exactly dry.
Thanks for the cache, krewlworld and sniffme.

Rusty sharp container should probably be replaced before someone injures themself on it.
Stopped to pick up son from local fair. Sneaked around and grabbed this cache while we waited
First find for the day with Peppa. Does make it easier when caching with someone who has been here before. Thanks.
Found it after a little hunting, lid of the container was on the ground so may need to replace soon!!

I had been staying nearby last night after a work function and figured this morning I may as well take a walk, to grab some breakfast and well a cache or two along the way.
As I wandered up towards GZ, there was really only two options of where to look. The first did not seem to be close enough to GZ so off to the other a check along soon revealed the cache.
Taking a seat on little wall around the fountain I got the log out and added my name before a quick check for people around and getting the cache back in place.

Great cache! Really cool area, 2nd cache of the date, now off to dinner! Tnln tftc
Found it on second attempt. Container is quite rusty but log book safe and dry.
Nice little area which I see on the way home everyday via sky ring tce but never new this side existed.
Sat down in the GZ, started secretly grabbing around when no one was watching when I eventually spotted something through the mesh down low. Sure enough.

With abeck58 and the young one on school holiday geocaching adventure. took a bit of finding.
Found it but forgot our pen! So didn't sign the log. Attached photo to prove it.
Didn't find it unfortunately, searched for a long time. We also had Muggils yelling at us from their balconies telling us to leave. We must have looked suspicious or something.
Still out with Selva Girls, walking over from a near by cache. Walked past one VERY odd guy making noises at a wall :S On getting to GZ Selva Girls started on one side and I started on the other. I did my checks and made my way over to her. We swapped sides, and before long I heard her clearing her throat, oh no! It was right where I looked first! How did I miss it! Cache is missing it's lid as mentioned but log seems okay. We wrote our logs and headed off to our last one for the night. TFTC!
Still with Sezzz, after work. Wandered over from a nearby cache. I thought I spotted the cache as we walked towards it. Sezzz made a beeline for that exact spot, so I headed to the other side to search. After a few minutes, she joined me, having not found the cache. I was having no luck where I was searching and my phone was telling me that the cache was where Sezzz had been searching, as I had suspected. Headed over there and very quickly had my hands on the cache. The lid is missing off the cache container, but the log is nice and dry. After signing the log and returning it to its spot, we headed off to our last cache of the evening
Visiting the other side of town. A straightforward find in a very nicely developed area. Container missing lid but log ok.

Came out with Ms Eatmorchikin and our little chikins x 4. I used to live in Newstead when Tennerif was first developed into a residential area. I never came this far though. The kids had fun sitting on the wall of the now empty pond. TFTC.
Out with Channib for a morning of caching. The kids had a fun walk from Orange Marmalade to here. They ran, they climbed, they explored and they loved looking at the river. Our hands were on the cache in seconds. A quick find indeed. We all sat down on the wall for a bite to eat and mini rest. TFTC.
This cache was a tuff one! I checked all over until I moved towards the end and touched something suspicious. Luckily it was what I was looking for.

A lovely walk from the teneriffe festival to the brekky creek hotel. Decided on a quick cache hunt on the way. TFTC.
Not the worst container I've encountered so far... but it's not far off... it needs a little tlc... not sure what the muggle in the bad shoes thought I was doing, but it was lovely to sit in the sun and wait her out... tftc...
A night ninja raid after working a late shift. A nice area though muggles about even after midnight.
Nice and easy. Though hard to tie my shoe when wearing thongs!! Beautiful area! Tftc
Boy that thing really breathes, Nice find in a place I normally wouldn't stop at. TFTC
Just back from Perth and was waiting for a café to open with a friend when we decided to go on the hint. That's a great pump and after putting in a bit of effort er found it. It's getting a little rusty so perhaps a bit of maintenance. Great adventure Thanks!
This little area was a very pleasant surprise to me as I headed up the river to find a ferry terminal. I circled in on GZ with great coords and was quite impressed by the water features here. I put my stuff down to do the tourist thing, which cleverly disguised my signing and rehiding duties well I thought! Probably someone looking down from inside was saying "there goes another crazy geocacher" or "gee, a lot of people take photos from that particular spot" or "must be really good phone reception from that particular spot?".
Thanks krewlworld for showing this place!

Quick find while out for a bike ride this afternoon. Thanks for bringing us to this area and TFTC.
Walked around and round, peered through the gaps and looked down as per the clue I knew it would be lower to the ground. Could not feel it. Read the logs. Another touchy feely feel. Then I had a call to say I was being waited for by a fellow GC - asked for a hint - but I did all that. OK one last look before I leave and bingo! Phew. Quick signature and on my way to my meet. TFTC
This may have been slightly more difficult if the cache hadn't been poking out from its hide. Interesting little park. TFTC
I sold my car through a broker today and I just came in my bike from the city to collect my personalized plates and cheque. I then knew there were some caches nearby. Found easy and all well. Thanks for bringing me here. Nice view. And cool breeze to cool down.
Oh... the heartache! This one took me ages, I thought I would never get it. I was so pumped up after I found it that I headed off to the nearby cache to make it a double. Not so... there was a muggle couple there who obviously needed privacy so that one waits for another day.
Thanks krewlworld, this is a great place to know about.

I came by tonight on the way home from work hoping for an easy park somewhere near this cache. I was totally surprised how many parks the were, and no muggles around either! Great city caching.
This sculpture was certainly unusual, and I had the right idea straight off the bat as to where it may be. It just took a couple of goes to get exactly the right spot. I happily had the cache in hand, and got a spray as I sat and signed the log. Also a little bit of stinky smell from the water being pumped!
I have left the nearby cache for another day....I'll be back to this very interesting area.

Actually took me a while to track this one down. I had a few muggles watching me... so I had to be careful. TFTC.
Nice development here at newstead ... Had breakfast in the Cafe nearby and went for a stroll along the river .... Easy find ... Nice area
