Sadly, due to lumberjacks at play I have to archive this one. Hopefully anew one nearby will soon be available.
Happy caching!

Hi

I'm sorry, but your recent move has brought your cache too close to the Traditional Cache of "Maid of Sker" http://coord.info/GC1W3D8 and will need to be moved. Please read the following item on cache saturation http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachesaturation


I've disabled this listing for the time being, could you please move it to a new location that fits within the saturation guidelines. Once that is done you may enable the cache.

The rain had cleared and we decided to take our Geo dog who sufferers motion sickness out again this weekend for the " lets get use to the car rides" Caching is always a fun thing to do and I looked for cache's that had some fun places to walk or relax. I saw the 8 fav and just looked at what I thought was the best possible choice. My geo sense must have been working as I saw it almost instantly. Excellent cache Smile
Thank you.
Sharon and Douglas

Well for the first time this morning I walked straight up to the cache and made an easy find. Either i came at the right angle or have my eye in for your camo. Tftc nottinghammers

Although it took me a little while to get across the main street and through the traffic from another nearby cache I was soon pulling up in a parking spot that indicated the cache was just a few m straight ahead.

The only problem I had was there was a muggle sitting on the chair right in front of me looking out straight across the park right where I wanted to go and look for the cache. I did sit for a minute taking a look at the cache details and the guy got up and started to walk away Smile

So I got out of the car, just as another couple of guys walked up to there car nearby. So I took a walk around the park and found that they were soon gone as well. As I neared GZ, I spotted something that looked good but had just a little bit of a difference to the other bits nearby. Soon enough cache was in hand and the log was gaining my name before moving on across the highway.

I had headed to Nerang to find a few caches and started in town. We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and coffee and found that the RSL was undergoing major renovations and so decided that we would head elsewhere. On the way we stopped off to check this one out. I think this is the third cache that I have looked for in this park now.

I strolled over and poked, prodded and peered and then I spotted a likely hide and then realised that this was a Nottinghamers cache and decided that it would be the right spot.

A well crafted container. worth a fav point

A Saturday afternoon driving around grabbing a few caches between doing a little shopping and some other stuff. Big Grin
A quick find as I spotted it on approach, I did not approach the normal way. Razz
Thanks for the cache.

A nicely hidden cache and the camo is tops as well. SL TFTC
 
02-Feb-14
It was cool and shady and I liked seeing the historical Nerang building nearby. There was lots of bird life about today too.
Thanks for the cache.
 
27-Jan-14
Nice hide. TFTC

Another good creation,this one was a little easier to find

A quick find on the way back from grabbing some lunch. Clever hide making use of the surroundings. TFTC. SL.

Found while randomly caching our way north to Cairns. Pulled of the road for a break and found this park. Hmmm... great little cache with a twist, thanks
 
02-Jan-14
With todays nice weather and the family all off doing their own things, I decided to head out on my own for some wandering of the Gold Coast.

In my travels, I decided to come and collect this one as this seemed to be the only one in this area that wasn't covered in muggles.

Parked nearby then wandered over for a quick retrieval. Loved the camo on this one and it will sure keep the muggles away.

Thanks for the find Nottinghamers Smile
 
02-Jan-14
I was out and about at 5am this morning to have a walk around and discover some local caches. This was number 5. I had an idea of what I was looking for before arriving at GZ and lucky for me that idea was fairly accurate. The camo should keep the muggles away for a very long time, providing future finders continue to be discreet. TFTC Nottinghamers
 
22-Dec-13
8928 caches found

quick find as across the road was the local markets


Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Nottinghamers for the hunt today
 
20-Dec-13
There were quite a few muggles eating their dinner at the park so we were relieved when the cache was further on where there weren't any. Went with instinct and made a quick find. Love this hide. TFTC Nottinghamers, a fav point awarded.
 
16-Dec-13
Out on a Manic Monday with teamdfl Big Grin It had been an epic day, full of craziness, and a long walk, and a thunderstorm, but we were still on the go after 10 hours Razz She'd done this one already but wanted me to see it, so we followed on from a nearby paddle steamer Razz At GZ it was a pretty quick find, and I was impressed with the hide. Nicely done, and a favourite point from me. TFTC, Nottinghamers.
 
14-Dec-13
Found on a trip to Brisbane with the Fergclan. Quite busy today as carols by candlelight is on tonight. A very clever cache indeed.

Enjoyable cache. Many thanks. TFTC! Smile
 
01-Dec-13
On the way to finding my 2600th cache today and just needed a few to make it to that number. I thought that this one would be an easy stop, how wrong I was! I didn't know that they have markets here on a Sunday. So there went all the close by car parks...... that was until we got lucky and someone pulled out of a car park right in front of the cache. YAY! I quickly pulled Spangle into the vacant lot and jumped out to find the cache. At GZ I looked in a few spots and then noticed something a little odd.... hmmmm, I wonder? On closer inspection I noticed the very sneaky cache. Nice hide Smile

Thanks for the cache Nottinghamers Big Grin
 
23-Nov-13
A few people in the main part of the park. A few people strolling by, but not too bad. Far enough off the path not to be seen by a passerby really. Narrowed down GZ and soon found another most excellent cache. Nobody looking when grabbed it. Another favourite point your way Smile
 
16-Nov-13
Another impressive cache from Nottinghamers, thanks! Smile
 
23-Sep-13
I'm happy to award another favourite point for another cleverly constructed, made for it's location, geocache container. Nottinghamer caches never disappoint. Having been away in Canberra when this cache was published it was on my TO DO list for when I came home. So glad I found it today and can add my FP and my signature on the log. [^][^] Visited some trackables for miles.
 
22-Sep-13
Another nifty construction from the Nottinghamers. After working out which tree we should be hugging we both zoned in on the hidey hole and spied it at the same time. Excellent. TFTC.
 
21-Sep-13
I remember a different cache here and thought at first we must be in the wrong place but no......it was a surprisingly quick find for us but we're not complaining Big Grin TFTC
 
21-Sep-13
Quite surprised when we arrived here as we had found a cache near hear a while back, hmmm, must be archived now I think.

All good though, as the new cache is a Nottinghamers one, so when we arrived at GZ, had a pretty good inkling what to look for!! and it was spotted rather quickly!!

Great little hide again Nottinghamers.
 
21-Sep-13
It didn't take too long to spot something a little out of place but what a great container! Well done and TFTC!
 
20-Sep-13
What a great well disguised little hide. Always love your caches. Thanks for the cache Nottinghamers Smile
 
18-Sep-13
Geo Wife and I headed out together again today, after dropping our son to work experience in Bundall, and looked forward to some nice new caches around the area.

It was a lovely day and a perfect opportunity to grab caches leading up to our 1000th cache that I hope to get on my birthday coming up soon.

We had been to this park a few times for various caches and enjoyed it so it was nice to see that it could still fit another one in.

The GZ seemed obvious but my GPS was jumping about a bit so it took me away.

Geo Wife stuck at it and persistance paid off as she spotted the well hidden cache.

Another nice crafty hide which Nottinghamers and becoming experts at.

Thanks Nottinghamers TFTC SL

How cool, another awesome purpose made cache container by Nottinghamers. Always a pleasure to find cache hides like this one. I headed out this morning for another cache and thought while I was out I have to come by and find this one.
Not a single soul around other then the abundance of bird life. A maggie attack a week ago still has me wishing I had eyes in the back of my head. A short stroll down to GZ from the vacant car park had me searching a likely spot. I soon had the cool container in hand and another Nottinghamers cache signed.

this was my first find on a Saturday drive out to find some caches and maybe get a FTF.
I really love Nottinghamers' caches and this one was another fun find.
Nobody much around at the time because it was overcast so I had space and freedom to look for the cache. Gets a favourite point from me for the excellent construction of the cache and the placement.
 
14-Sep-13
I think that I was the third person to find this today but the first to log here.
This was my fourth Nottinghamers cache for the afternoon. I realised that I hadn't done the pylon series! A quick find thankfully as it was starting to get dark. Thanks Nottinghamers.
 
14-Sep-13
Always watching now for new Nottinghammer caches,on to this one in a flash and picked up a Bristracker path tag which had been left there .TFTC.Nottinghammers.
 
13-Sep-13
*FTF* Full log to follow. Joint with Poynts95 and Sportacuss. I will say this for now... Great hide, will give a fav point. Didn't see the alert until 23.30 hrs, 2 hours after it had came out, amazed it was not found ( logged at least ) thought it was worth the trip, and it was. Thanks Nottinghamers, another ripper and a night find for the FTF. Cheers.
 
13-Sep-13
Congrats to the FTFinders - well done to find a Nottinghamers cache at night.
 
13-Sep-13
Good old Snottyhammers for using up a space freed by the archiving of a former cache. That is a great way to keep the game going. I would not have gone out late at night on my own but sounds like the FTF team were on the ball last night. Will be able to get this one on my next jaunt to Nerang.
 
13-Sep-13
A bit of a detour on the way home from work to track down this new cache.

The 13th of September was another blank day in my caching calendar so it was good to be able to fill in another blank. That is now 329 of 366 days filled in.

Another great bit of camo Nottinghamers. Thanks for the cache.
