Logs
Not really ideal, vegetation has over grown, have to enter private property, certainly not one for a shorts and t-shirt kinda day. New place in area would be easier
The cache was in an obvious place and, yes, I too, climbed the fence to reach it. I presume the cache predates the fence? TFTC
Very prickly and came out covered in half a tree, only to realise we’d forgotten our pen! TFTC
As a PF said, it was very prickly and a tight space to reach for this cached, but I grabbed it in the end!
Thanks for the cache!

An interesting walk lead me to this GZ. Taking advantage of the luvly track developed to entice peeps to get away from their cars and all those park'n'grabs. An adventure following the needle seen a fence crossed ha ha definitely not a short cut attempted in heels or sandals and if your skin is thin or on Warfarin, the toi toi, gorse and bush lawyer is not recommended. Like others a fabulous specimen was inspected thinking hmm no plastic here . . . oops back over the new fence to the right GZ. Once things looked so much simpler the dry cache was soon in hand to SL. The code available in this cache got recorded for the puzzle run through the toolbox nailing a likely place nearby with two numbers just like several other peeps finding the final for more than five years with the comings and goings of the required caches. One last current cache is missing needing a CO check. Logbook looking purrty good for it's age here although the baggy is a little torn. Sometimes the minigrip is difficult for those in a hurry or small hands to open properly. Returned cache to hide with duff and a log but going by some rubbish in the area, not too many peeps frequent the GZ. TFTC
At first I was digging around in what seemed to be the logical place. However, as I was digging, a feeling that something wasn't right started to creep up to me. The search was thus abandoned.
When I returned an hour later, I tried a different approach which seemed to be a lot more promising, and voila: one more claimable yellow smiling face
Thank you for placing this cache here.

Second find. Pretty straightforward. Kids loving the treasure hunt. We'll bring some things to replace treasure next time. Left intact
Evidence of quite a bit of track development going on close by. Found and signed one cache only to find a second one as I tried to replace the first one. If I remember correctly I signed both just to be doubly sure. TFTC #10076
Making the most of a sunny Sunday afternoon we headed out to see what we could find.
The dog enjoyed chasing her ball around the park and we enjoyed the view and the peace and quiet while we retrieved the cache.

Enjoying holidaying in the area with tmann421.
A nice quick find for us here today. Found two containers so signed both of them. TFTC

Nice walk to the cache.
we both looked at the obvious hiding location and were surprised to both call found-it! at the same time.
A 200m Sistema and a plastic jar are both on site and so we signed both the logs.

Found this (actually found 2 here) and the other 3 Walton Park Caches in our quest for the Walton Park Mystery Cache. This one had a code but 2 out of the 4 didn't. TFTC
Lol looking at the obvious realized too obvious found quickly once threw hubby and kids over fence
Spent a while looking in the wrong place thinking it would be a miracle if I found it in there. But then I realized where it must be and it really was quite straight forward. Thanks
Coming from Mr Spite I found a gap in the fence on my way to this one so there was no need for any fence climbing. No code under the lid.
I wasn't optimistic about this one, given the most recent log, however a bit of dogged determination later and I had the cache in hand. It appears to have been the old box as there were many names already scrawled in the logbook, so it's possible there are now two caches in the spot. Cheers!
We looked twice but couldn't find it :/ Not sure if it's us (we're beginners), or if the cache has gone missing again.
New container and log in place. I have not written the number for the mystery on log or lid, as I could not find it. In the mean time if anyone logs a find and wants the co ordinates, please e mail me.
I wonder if this spot is still ok, I had to jump a relatively new fence to get to GZ
Great day for this one better than yesterday. Another one done for the mystery cache. Should have it done in a few more days. TFTC ☺
Quick find. A good excuse to stretch the legs with a stroll around the playing fields. TFTC
