Logs
Don't know why it was archived. After getting to GZ and wondering why I couldn't find it, I had a look at the previous logs and with the assistance of the previous entries, I was able to locate the Cache 141M from GZ. Visited trackables to take in the local area.
No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Knew where this one would be once I heard the word 'bridge'... Have led many students along this track and over this bridge when The Tops Conference Centre had Mountain Biking as an activity. Cache is wet, log is very wet. If you must...try 56H 0312858 6211732.
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
Owner has not logged on in a month. As per previous finders the cache is 150m out, wet, and has been doctored with incorrect logs.
I suggest that this one should simply be archived.

Please fix up this cache. It needs drying out, coords updated. I hope its hidden with permission.
The co-ordinates for this cache are far outside the realms of reasonable to be found. Please read my previous log.
Found with The Rats, Hoojar and Steeba....... I don't need to say anymore than has already been said.
Heading out after the 101 event the tribe of want-a-be finders eventually stumbled across this hide. There is no way previous finders have found this cache without a helping hand. Today we were given a hint that it was near a bridge.
After an extensive search of the posted coords we couldnt find the cache nor a bridge. Expanding our search along various tracks I eventually found a bridge and a damp mouldy cache. It was only 150m from the posted coords.
What makes it even crazier is my caching name is already signed in the log, today I added it myself.
This one needs maintenance.

What do you write for this one? Needs maintenance, needs archiving? The co-ords are 150m out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crikey!
This would have to be a classic for all the wrong reasons.
We had a tip off at the nearby event from some previous finders that this one was 'near a bridge'. As it turned out the bridge is some 150m (yes 150m!!!! ) from GZ. And someone had written The Rats name in already and if this cache is not on private property without permission I'd be surprised [B)].
Memorable but needs some work.

As Steeba has said we only managed to find this cache thanks to the clue from a local that, "it is near the bridge." With Steeba, The Rats and F@ we eventually found the bridge some 150m from the listed co-ords. Caches should be hidden with a GPSr, not with Goggle Maps. This cache would be impossible to find were it not for the clue given to us.
Cheers (I guess)

So the hider of the cache "finds" his own cache?? Not even that, he is also claiming a FTF as well??
502. As per Hoojar's log we didn't find it. There were 4 of us all over where GZ was pointing but to no avail. Too good for us in the end.
We came, we looked, we looked again, we failed.
Lots of trees, but couldn't find anything that looked like a cache.
Thanks anyway.

Parked the car at the conference centre gate and Dingo and I walked in here to have a look around. In the fading light under torch light we could not find a cache. Not saying it isn't there, I've been known to miss the obvious before!
I am the cache hider and I have the confress centres permition to place it there.

Can the cache owner confirm that this cache is not on private property or if so, that permission has been obtained to place it here? There is a sign not 100m to the south-east that says the land in the direction of the cache is private property.
