Logs
Despite searching a number of possible hiding places in close proximity to the coordinates, we were unable to find this cache.
No luck - too many people around and the co-ordinates were all over the place on my gps.
YUSS!! Finally found this DNF! It's exactly where I thought it would be after being replaced. Thanks!
Didn't manage to find it today. Will try again another time! (We may have been using the old co-ordinates?)
Have replaced the cache yet again. I did think of archiving it as its about the 4th one I have replaced and its difficult to find a secure place as the grounds are well used and there are always eyes around either football kids or dog walkers. Its the same type of container but in a new nearby place. Please see that it is not visible when you leave. Step back and check its out of sight.
Thanks MJMNZ
Thanks MJMNZ

Bugger! Looked in all the obvious places, but no luck today. Thought a hole in one of two trees, but nothing.
Pretty sure I should have found this as it couldn't really be anywhere else. So I'm guessing it's been muggled again 
Coordinates left me with two to chose from but guessed correctly and a quick grab & sign. TFTC
After finally managing to find the correct gate for entry to the park we were quickly at GZ. An easy find as the cache was lying on the ground. We signed the log and replaced back where we believed the cache had come from.
Checked up today and cache had gone so will try again for the 4th time otherwise will look for a totally new place. The coordinates have been changed.

[green] Alas no go today. On the first visit today the place was packed. On a Friday? Soccer happening everywhere. Had a quick look as to where hte cache was, but did not look for it. Came back later, just one game with a very vocal crowd. Hunted for the cache but could not find it (I have just realised it may be hidden in a crafty way, if not it is probably missing). Then went and watched the last 10 minutes of the game. Damn. I took some notes as to who was playing but I seem to have lost them

I was up there last week for kids football game and had a quick look and It wasn't there.
Tried every possible spot - but no luck. Both GPS took me to same spot, so wonder if it has been muggled?
A nice find after kids football game. Lucky for us it was a later game than last time and less muggles so it was easier to retrieve.
GPS took ages to settle down! Then I realised I should have worn my big girl shoes! Success however. TFTC.
I am one of the privaliged vertically challenged people so Mrs B helped many thanks 
Caught up with some friends and they helped find this one and now keen to find more Luckily winter soccer hadn't started so it was fairly quiet (except for the possum lol) TFTC
Luckily winter soccer hadn't started so it was fairly quiet (except for the possum lol) TFTC#5245. I think we've got the full set of masters games now. This one was pretty straightforward. TFTC.
All quiet late on an Easter Sunday afternoon, so was able to do a "drive-by".
Good to get the complete set of Masters Games caches. Enjoyed the series, many thanks.

Another in the series knocked off. Didn't know this park was here.
A quick find. TFTC

Quick easy find. Played soccer here when i was young so thanks for bringing me back. TFTC SL
Easy find. I thought becouse of the weather no one would be out, but a few people were out doing archery but other wise the coast was clear. TFTC
Found wedged in fairly tightly and had to use a trusty tool I have to retrieve. Made sure that it was secure but not wedged too tightly when I put it back. Had been looking at puting one here for some time. TFTC
Number 5 of 7: This one had us looking like geo-retards (near GZ but couldn't lock down GZ). With the trees giving us grieve the gps had us over by the building and we weren't convinced but we decided to poke around a little and as expected we came up empty handed. We were starting to grow tired of the wayward gps and were contemplating a DNF when the gps decided to play (foot)ball and headed us in the right direction. I was still a bit unsure but very quickly Sam said "there it is". Yeehaa. SL TFTC 
No7 of 7 FTF's for today! Wohoo! Took us quite a while to find this one. Found the appropriate spot easily - the co-ords were spot on and even found the perfect nook for it, but no joy. Were just about to call it a night (aaahhhhh) and tried a PAF and while we were waiting.... spotted the cache on the ground. The colour helped it blend in and we were so busy looking up (courtesy of the clue), we just missed it. But a happy ending as we put it back in the obvious hidey place and made sure it wasn't visible. Big thanks to MJMNZ for a fantastic afternoons caching - even if Mr RiffRaff did miss mowing the lawns...ah what a shame! ha TFTC
