Gave it a good look but couldn’t locate lot o chopping and earth moving gone on so might pay to have check on this one
Looked everywhere but no luck. Seems there has been some recent tree pruning around where it may have been. Maybe gone missing. Sad little domain which must have seen some good times in the past.

The GPS took us to right in the middle of the court, which had no chance of hiding a cache. But then somehow I had this idea of looking under the pines trees, which was straight in front of me.. Yahhooo.. cache in hand. tftc.

This took a couple of minutes as it seemed the coords were out in the middle of the courts with nowhere to hide, but harisree went into the trees and found it. TFTC
Quick easy find. I was pleased to see the courts in better condition than when I last visited to watch my then partner, who was president if the defunct tennis club, attempt to thrash his son. Just a few years ago that was. Thanks for the cache.
The GPS had us in the middle of the tennis court - hmmmm, where would I put it? Found with AorakiSheep.
More long, wet grass in a run down and sad looking domain in the middle of nowhere. We parked at the gate and walked in. Our GPS wasn't much use here but a little bit of geo-sense paid off. Found with debsnz
.. Got quite a bit of extra exercise looking for this one ... GPS would not settle, finally the geo cache brain kicked in.. log book signed and off for the next one. TFTC!
Found it after getting me cart stuck on the track, surely this will be a good spot to hide me treasure!
Met with a shut gate and evidence of campers gave the impression that this area could be under private ownership now (more like a campsite than a domain) ?
Managed to get this today, but the gps was showing the same place as last time. But got it now
Nice hide the geocaching rocks gave it away tftc

looks like there hasn't been any action here for a while , just a bit longer than it took me to find it trees were playing havoc with my phone but I wasn't leaving without it tftc
Looked at the logs and seen it could be tricky but it was found quickly in the end. Had a look around after that. Tftc
Nope, sorry I must bebblind for this one :-@ coords took me to about 5 mtrs on the tennis court, and tried twice more to the same place, the other gps was saying the same. Had a good look around but I could not find it. But why was there a wall built the other side of the trees? One of the trees had its lower brances cut off, was the cache there?
Dnf... sadly with out a hint, i was left standing (after several goes) at gz almost in the center of the asphalt(62s is usually right on the ball.. guess my stars where just not in line to day?). . That didn't help much since i know burying them is not on..let alone highly unlikely given the logs so far.. never mind the trees where worth it..
Does not seem to get much use....I used the nearby recycle bins while here. Cheers
Easier than looked at first, but I had a nice walk around - TFTc!!

What a sad looking Domain. No doubt in years gone by it was a popular place and was a venue for many a tennis game. T4TC
very soggy feet walking thru the long grass definatly not the weather for tennis, we were originally on the wrong side but found quickly on the right side TFTC
Glad it was on this side of the fence!
172 of 270 for a day stretching from Danseys to Thompson's Track.

We recognized this location which we had visited for the previous cache. We approached with some trepidation after reading some previous logs, but as it happened, went straight to the cache. TFTC
TFTC. We went back and forth on each side of the fence a couple of times before standing back and having a good look - what do you know there was a most likely spot.
Found while flobberworm! and purdiepurdie are down south on a caching break.

Took quite a bit of hunting to find this one, and which side of the fence we were on. Moneydork managed to stick himself in the scalp and drew some blood. Cheers Gav
We cam across two wild deer out on the road (presumably down this low to escape the snow). TFTC.
I remember my previous visit, a shame to see such a nice spot neglected, but the trees are doing well.

found the cache and a tennis ball as well. shame this place has gone like so many other small country domains. tftc
We have done the other one here. Nice hiding place. No muggles but some arrived shortly afterwards so good timing. Left Travel Bug.
Took a while to to find, stood back and had a think about it then it came to me! TFTC TNLN
Thought the coords were ok and quickly found the cache. The area looks pretty abandoned or neglected. SL TFTC
Pulled up close to GZ and there was only one car parked up with the occupant inside and as it wasn't a Police Car I drove around the corner and after having walked based on an assumption I returned and realising it wouldn't be the centre of the tennis court a quick search found what I was looking for!
Thanks

GZ had me in the middle of the tennis court - nah. a 400ml container with nowhere to hide? Rang CO and said GZ was in the middle of a tennis court - "It aint there" was the reply (darn straight, I thought). "So where is it then?" I asked hopefully - the reply "It hasn't been found yet - so no clues - use your nous" Bugger - where would he hide it? Looking round a bit of enlightenment proved to be spot on. Devious bugger. So - an *FTF* - yay. Also a bonus - I got about 3kg of wonderful wild mushrooms as well.
