No traffic, plenty of parking nearby and a quick find (great piece of camo, but it didn't trick me for long) and
another cache nearby - nice Sunday morning.

It was the last day that my grandson was staying with me and he wanted to do some more caching and, of course, I wasn't going to refuse that request
. Congratulations on your 800th placement, Glyn. A mighty effort.
Cheers for the cache.

Out to fill in a calendar day and headed off to get this one. Had a little trouble finding parking nearby but soon rocked up to GZ and spotted 3 possiblities, first try was the charm

TFTCBig congrats on the number of hides (and the number has increased since placement) We have found about 600 of your caches so still lots to go. No worries with the find and onto another one of yours.
Needed a quick cache find today so decided to check this one out. We soon discovered another great bit of camo from the master. One of the many things we have come to enjoy with Glyn caches is the ever so slight use of understatement in the descriptions.
Congratulations on reaching this milestone hide. A check on GSAK shows we have found 435 of them - will need to up our game. Thanks for your huge contribution to our stats, and to our enjoyment of this 'game.'

Congratulations Glyn on your 800th. cache, I am looking forward with some trepidation I might add to your next 800. However this one proved to be an easy find, which is a little unusual considering most of your caches require a great deal of head scratching and muttering under one's breath.
Congrats on 800 hides, you are certainly the most prolific hider of caches I have found, and according to the stats on geocaching.com.au I have found more of yours than anyone else. Worse part is I am still 100 behind.

Walked up after finding 'Pud's Old Hide' close by. Managed to spot this hide quite easily and enjoyed a pleasant stroll along the grassy tract of land in the sunshine as well. Another awesome piece of work from the master of camo. Congrats on your 800 hides and a huge thanks for all the great (and sometimes devious) caches you have put out. Another favourite. TFTC.
Phone buzzed whilst having breakfast with the cat...two new published caches, and SO close to home, and Glyn's 800th....how could I not?? With the Tim half already left for work, I made the call to take the car today and dash out. On arrival the traffic was pretty solid so parked around the corner and somehow made it across the busy road - not too many cars wanting to slow and let me pass. Upon arrival it was an instant find and an empty log, wooohooo FTF 
Congratulations Glyn on your 800th hide, its been frustrating, satisfying and challenging finding them (not all of them by far)...look forward to many more

Heard the phone bleep while I was getting ready for work. Didn't pay much attention as is usually just some App that needs updating. However just before leaving for work I had a look.
2 caches very close to work, didn't hold out much hope though for the FTF it was already 20 minutes since publishing and it would take me 20 more to get there (couldn't have gone any faster though, even if I had looked at emails earlier, but it isn't often that I am eager to drive to work).
Sure enough I'd been beaten by not 1 but 2 cachers, Kirstim found it about the time I was leaving home.
Still that's my cache for today done, and there's anther handy one not far away for tomorrow.
Congrats on your 800th hide Glyn and a big thank you!!! You've certainly made my caching experience enjoyable (and frustrating at times). TFTC

ROS had just returned home from the early morning trip to the city and checked on some emails. This email noification had been out for about 20 minutes however it was decided to go and have a look. The 8.00 o'clock morning traffic was worse than usual so it did take some time to get to GZ. Crossing the road was also another mission with the large amount of traffic. Once at GZ the well disquised cache container was soon found. Headed away from GZ to sign the log due to the amount of cars queued up with nothing better to do than to obserse the strange activity. Just got beaten to the FTF by KirsTim by 10 minutes 
. Congratulations on your 800th hide Glyn. Keep them coming.
