DNF #2/2 today but thankfully I did manage to record 3 finds, so it wasn’t all ‘doom and gloom’!
THE DAY’S STORY
A fun day of caching spent in the company of Moonshiner Extraordinaire (ME), up from Dublin for a few days, taking in caches located in Glencraig, Seahill, Helen’s Bay, Ballygilbert and Newtownards. When we ‘called it a day’ in Newtownards at around 5:00 pm, ME had managed to bag 25 finds along with 3 DNFs, while I had clocked just 2 finds and 2 DNFs.
The day ended with us both attending the special ‘GIFF 2015 (Newtownards, Co. Down)’ Event organised by sgtzara. But tomorrow is another day with two more ‘local’ events in the offing and a plan to help ME find a whole lot more caches in and around Holywood and its environs before he heads back home!
THIS CACHE
I have to confess that ‘outstanding’ caches in Newtownards have not been at the top of our geocaching ‘to do’ list in the past year or more, so this cache, and its companion ‘Driving Ambition’ caches in the town, have remained ‘unfound’ for us. But today, with ME keen to find more caches in the town, and at the same time enable us to ‘clock’ ones we’ve not yet found, this cache (and the others in the series) became more of a priority!
As for this one in particular, we thankfully managed to park close to the site, on the same side of the road, but sadly, despite a careful search all around where we believe GZ must be, we weren’t able to find any sign of a cache.
Maybe we just missed it but maybe it’s just missing! Not sure?

I had to admit defeat on my last cache of my planned cycle round Ards tonight.
I'm a bit rusty after a break from the antics and it was dark, so they're my two excuses and I'm sticking to them.
I'm sure it is still there from previous finds.
Will need regroup and attack this one again.
