Adding another dnf to the pile it seems - gave it a fair go before checking the logs... May need a maintenance visit sorry.

This is awesome! I found my first cache last night in the rain and there was a path tag there too. TFTC!
This was a great find for my 5yr old mini cacher, shes been wanting to find 1 for ages. She took some stickers and we left a half tennis ball looking popper thing. Even at 9am on a minus 2 frosty morning, this play ground is heaps of fun, especially with crazy cacher parents out for a hunt.
We love caches in parks especially ones with playgrounds as cool as this one! The park was popular today with a big group of young muggles, dog walkers, soccer practicing, rubbish truck drivers congregating for smoko and a family. The fort was overrun with young muggles on arrival but we held our position nearby and when they retreated we quickly made our approach and managed to seize the fort! Geo-toddler had a ball on the flying fox and slide. Cache was a quick and stealthy find on leaving. Thanks for placing a cache here.
You're right - the trees do interfere with the gps, but not much. A short wander in a circle and then I had the cache in hand. The cache is in good condition.

A nice quick find in an otherwise empty park at 7pm. Getting rather far from home now for our cache of the day glad it was a quick find. TFTC
Found this one but it was spread out over the ground hopefully we put it back in the right place
Loved the cute wee story. I spotted Owen and Mitchell playing in the park but managed to avoid them and with the help of the hint soon had my hands on their little box of tricks. TFTC
Found with Caitie15, the third one we've found tonight. Must have been beginners luck!
Light was starting to fade as we searched and finally found what we were after. A quick sign of the logbook and off we went. A family was playing on the playground but didn't see us secure cache, only noticed us as we left the park

Hint proved helpful in narrowing down where to look, then it was a quick find. Found with Aoraki Sheep.
Caching SPREE! Cache #2
What a lovely day to go caching...
Spent about 3 mins looking around a tree before GPS decided it was the wrong one.

A quick find once the GPS settled down.
A lovely park, which was being enjoyed by the locals as we searched for the cache.

Nice find on way home with olie and George! They won the battle in the day. Thanks for the cache
Gps lead me to an area then a search lead me to the cache then my feet lead to a swing weeeeeewe. Its ok for a 40 something year ols balding bloke to have a swing in the park by himself.....Isn't it? Tttc
There were a few lookouts on duty at the fort but I sidled in through the trees and made a quick find.
Reinforcements appeared to be arriving as I replaced the cache, so I beat a hasty retreat to fight again another day.

Easy find on a drizzly day, lid was off but dry inside, took TB, left new TB, TFTC
I were in the area for a meeting and were a bit early so ducked down and found this one. GPS did play up a bit under the trees but found eventually. TFTC.

Another crazy day - all as part of a pretty crazy month! And so by the time I was free to find my cache for the day, I was just keen for something easy - not too much of a detour from the road I had to drive, and quick.
This looked like it could be done, pretty sweet. So I parked - and wow I am loving these last summer evenings! 7.30, and I didn't even need my torch, or anywhere near need it!
Found the cache in the first spot I looked, with which I was pretty stoked. Signed log, and then ran off to drop off all my jamming supplies before running round the rest of the evening.
Consec caching day # 346

Third cache and third playground for the day. Yes I had planned it like that. Had the whole family with me and a set list of caches I wanted to find to finish qualifying for the Welcome to Nelson challenge cache and also get my 800th find.
Have been here before and the boys (including Daddy) enjoyed the playground. The flying fox here is a lot less scary than some other ones.
This was the first of two justmeg caches I planned to find today to qualify for the Welcome to Nelson challenge cache. One of which just happened to be a very needed earthcache. I'm sure the cooperation of the males in the family only lasted because of the playgrounds we visited while I was caching.
Thanks for the cache, just what the son(s) ordered.

Heading North to undertake the lollies - wanted 1 cache on the way and this was it. GZ refused to be pin-pointed because of the the trees but clue was helpful and a quick find.
Another quick visit while waiting for the football game to start. Collected a TB, Cheers!
Thanks. Never been to this park before although it's not far from home. Dropped off TB and picked up a another (rather interesting) one.
Nice day for a trip to the park with the kids. Cool little hide. My daughter enjoyed finding this. Dropped TB off. TFTC.

It took me awhile to find this cache but it was right where I was looking the whole time, I just didn't trust my geo senses...lesson learned! TFTC
Nice quick find on a very wet & soggy Saturday while waiting football game to start. Rain kept the muggles away.
This was a frustrating one as the GPS would just. not. settle. Go there in the end though after a frustrating few minutes in the rain. Thanks for the cache.
This one has been stored for ages so good to get it ticked off. Found in the first place I looked. Lots of pre-teen muggles on the fort but they were having far too much fun to notice us. You can get quite a lot of them on a flying fox at once! Then the only problem was to get Zekeasaurus off the slide...
This had been on my to do list for ages. The first time I came here I was still a newbie and didn't really have the scope. The second time there were muggles everywhere. This time due to work and daylight savings I got here at 7am and found this and one other almost immediately. Tftc
Nice quick easy find GPS stopped at 18m but just used instincts. Park was a warm welcome, loved the castle appearance however my 3 year old was just a tad small for it realistically.

Found with council workers looking on.expkained what we were doing. Plus chikd playing in nearby plsyground so had to be carefull
Always thought this area could do with a cache. Took time to wait of younger muggles to move on before locating this spot. Cheers
