Really great hide! Nice little stop to break up the journey home thanks guys! Lots of fun even when it's a little windy! Thanks for the cache!
Could not log the cache, log book was jammed in tight and could not get it out. But other that that, Great cache
After finding a couple of caches nearby I stopped here on my way past. Took quite a bit for me to spot what I was looking for! TFTC
Arriving at the GZ I was thinking this could be anywhere, with the GPS going crazy. It quickly caught my eye however. Very clever!
Found it while I was camping nearby
It needs a new log as the old one is full and wet

Interesting hide. Needs maintenance as log was wet and mangled. Not in original position as screw is broken. Just nearby off the ground. TFTC.
Interesting find. Found with new "geocachers" K&M. Log needs replacing. TFTC&
GPS had us down the road by several meters, luckily the image in the gallery helped narrow it down. Geokid thought this one was amazing. TFTC
Found at 2:59 PM GAFF1.
We are not keen on "haystack" type caches and were dreading the search when we approached GZ seeing all of the possible hiding spots for a micro. On top of that the GPSr wanted us to go a further 7 metres into the scrub [B)] However our eagle eye spotted something interesting and the cache was grabbed straight away [^]
Thanks Brain.Teaser.

Fantastic cache, was looking slightly in the wrong spot at first but thankfully someones previous log photo helped me along. When I saw the cache I though, "that looks a little...new"
Very clever. Took us a few minutes to locate this one although as Mrs B mentioned the rubbish dumped around here sort of makes you want to get away from the GZ area real fast (and careful where you look too!)

Looked over the otherside for a while, then saw that something was out of place.

TFTC, GPS readings much better now that logging has been completed. Ended up looking in a completely different location this time and found it straight away.
Today we explored Sale and surrounds using geocaching as a guide and picking up a few on the way and this was one of them. A tricky hide, but we sniffed it out!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Had a good look around but couldn't find it. Really concerned about the kids being in an active logging area. Hopefully the logging operation doesn't destroy the cache.
Found whilst travelling home from Seaspray. Good spot and hide. Didnt attempt to remove log as it was jammed pretty tight inside. A paperclip didnt help tftc
We were so close to finding this cache, gave up after hearing Mum squeal like a pig when she nearly stood on a brown snake!!! We quickly retreated into our car to safety. We will attempt again in colder weather.
Very clever hide for this one. GPS bouncing all over the place......was about to give up when I spied it.
Found this one after spending the afternoon watching my teenage daughter shooting clay targets at the sale field and game club deep in the pine forest. Made a mental note to myself not to upset her. Fancy having to ask a teenager who is a crack shot to clean her room? Me neither-so I went geocaching instead! Surprisingly I found it quite quickly. Lovely and quiet here. Great cache worth clever camo. Loved it thanks.
Tftc lucky for us today it wasn't like finding a needle in a haystack !!! Signed the log and moved on to the next one
Out caching with comback.
I was standing right next to the cache, but didn't see it.
then comback spotted it.

The Road to 100 finds: 9/19
Geohubby had to go offshore for a day this weekend so I took the opportunity to cache in and around Sale and reach 100 finds. Unfortunately this was to be the last of my finds today, but at least I got more than halfway
After picking up Geohubby from Longford we made our way to this interesting cache. My Battery was down to 1% and it was just enough to read the hint. We poked around for about 5 minutes, I took a step back and noticed it. It was a great hide and the first find of this type.
Thanks for the cache

A sneaky hide but a ripper all the same. Took a few minutes of us hunting around, but more about the gps to settle (which it didn't really). Thanks Brain.teaser for the challenge.
Well it got the better of me. Had to go back out to this one after work. Howey came on the hunt too and wouldn't ya know it the blind Cacher spotted it first lol. Just goes to show you that we all get cache blindness from time to time. Happy to log this one
When Jimmymaff asks you to help him find a cache you know it must be a doosey. Sure enough after both of us searching for about 20 minutes I spotted something not quite right and with a sigh of relief from the "Great one" there it was. This is a brilliant hide and definitely one of my favourites. TNLN TFTC

Nup. Out on a ride but didn't find this one. Even after I put the right co-ords in the GPS Doh!!!! Next time for sure.
Number 5 for the day. Once parked and near GZ the hunt began. After a good 10 minutes of frantic searching the search area was widened and within seconds the cache was in hand. A crafty hide. No swaps today, TFTH.
A nice early find for this one on our way home. It's a shame that people hide their rubbish in such pretty spots. Mr G. was standing right beside this one and hadn't spotted it. Mrs G almost tripped over him trying to get to this well camo-ed cache.

Called in to check on this one today and saw it was looking quite obvious... moved it a little to make it a bit of a challenge rather than just driving in and saying "There it is!"
New coordinates are:

Happy hunting

I don't how I missed logging this one.
It was good cache hide. I found this after a few minutes of searching.

Yay FTF! As soon as I saw this had been published I put the coords in the GPS, raced to Ben's work and we were off! A quick drive in the geo-mobile and a small search and we were the proud owners of an FTF. Another great cache cache by brain.teaser TFTC.
