Struggled to find this one. Checked two tree areas...not sure if this one is still here?
I'm pretty sure we found it. The coords were a bit off but the scenery was stunning. TFTC
Log is very wet. Also, there's no number in the lid. That's why I thought this might not be it.
Found it. Yay for Small Pooka. My phone had me almost going to the wrong place.
Headed out to Cornwall park today with a soon to be non-muggle friend and Alice Lunar, the day was just too nice not to go caching and this was near to our friends house. We got out of the car and headed to GZ after a bit of a rummage I soon had the cache in hand. A lovely view from up here and really interesting trees. TFTC #353
Found since I disabled it so hoping it's still there. If any future finders can send me a message with info on where they found it, whether the clue number is still inside, or even a photo, that would be great. Thanks!
This was a challenge to find for my daughter and i. Was not exactly where my coordinates led me to. Bought in my partner to help with this one.
Climbed all over that tree but to no avail. Even had other geocachers there too but they couldn't find it either.
Met up with motorbike fanatics and searched what we considered all the likely spots with no success. Lots of balancing involved. Will pop it on my watch list and hope it had indeed gone missing in action and that it wasn't my lack of looking. Rumour has it Peter Rabbit may have been the perpetrator.
Sitting at gz looking out...very nice spot quiet despite the hectic but happy bustle below. True to form gz produced a rabbit..and 5 very nosey sheep..great cache..quite rural feeling and a little challenging 
This little smiley was nicely tucked away and took a little bit of searching to find. Not a single muggle on the near by tracked blinked an eye in our direction. - great day out. TFTC
Attended an event today hosted by fellow Brits mbtkz, after the event we headed to this park to grab the nearby Lean on Me cache. We grabbed this cache on the way back to the car.
I was searching a little higher but thankfully it was found quickly and we could sign the log.
Thanks for the cache

Part 3 complete, after "mountain climbing" according to my 3 year old, we soon had the cache in hand - not before he spent some good time chasing the bunnys [^]
3 non-finds on one day. Cache still there? We also spotted all the other cachers, it was a busy day.
Lol, 2nd cache in a row to muggle other cachers ... only in da big smoke!? Despite all the eyes, this one stumped us...might need more carrots, but they are a high commodity with so many bunnies about. Wow- really is da bunny big smoke!
Saw some people hanging round the tree so might be the cachers before us? We decided to go look for other caches and come back later. When we came back we also had no luck with it. Maybe the bunnies took it? It was getting dark so may come back for it next time
Got distracted by the rabbit hotel tree. Lovely to see rabbits even with so many people around. Found the right spot. Thanks.
Perfect spot for Bunnitropolis. I'd like to live there if I was a bunny! TFTC McArgister.
Took a complete circumnavigation, but got there in the end. Nice afternoon for a stroll in the park. Summer is on its way again. TFTC.
Easy find almost slipped replacing the cache then my top got caught on a branch and I nearly exposed myself haha tftc
Could the next finder please note whether they found the original container (a back screw-top micro) or the temporary replacement (a black film canister). There is a chance that both are still there at GZ. If you find the original and you're willing and able to, I'd really appreciate a photo sent to me of where you re-hid it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I was in Cornwall Park this afternoon with merlot58 for the Lean on Me Challenge and we decided to work on the Smiley Hunt caches while we were there. It didn't bode well that the CO couldn't find his own cache a few days ago, but that didn't stop us from having a good look! Unfortunately we left empty handed also!
Couldn't find my own cache when trying to replace the logbook!!! Could the next finder (hopefully it's not gone) please either pop in another thin roll of paper or snap a photo of where it is and send it to me??? Thanks!
Found it after one of us fell and got a little muddy. Slippery when wet here. TFTC
First stop in Cornwall park, did a half circle around before we found the goods. Onto the next, thanks
Final find of the day, nephew wanted to do 5 because he'll be 5 on his next birthday.
Grandma found it, but nephew was able to retrieve it (just!).

Lots and lots of places to search so it took lots and lots of time. The farmer drove in a big herd of sheep while I was at it. TFTC.
Found as part of team Stik-a-crane now logging under my own name. I was there to make the find but want to create a map and history of my own unique kind.
After getting our second FTF earlier this morning and starting the day on 190 we were on a mission to pass the 200 finds (only been caching for 4 months too) -decided one tree hill was the place to go today and with just 2 more needed and the daylight fading (and gates being locked in an hour!!) we headed for this one - also helped us complete the series and gain all numbers needed - quick find #199 just one more!!
Found by the failing charge of Ed's phone, could be time to pack in caching for the day and retire to a cafe. TFTC
Found the cache in the open so have placed it in a less obvious, but still easy to find if you're looking, place.
And big bunnies they must be. Poos the same size as the sheep's. This is find 2/5! A stunningly poor result and as we pulled ourselves around the tree we were thinking it might be another fail and then Hooray! Thank you last Cacher for making us smile. Tucked securely but fully visible for those searching. Hope we've returned the favour. NINO TFTC
Yes jandalfan it was real obvious - Unfortunately we searched the hard places first.
Lovely spot - great views. Too small for my latest TB to nest in. Off to the next likely contender - thanks for luring me here with this cache. 
The cache rolled down the hill as it slipped out of my hands! All good.. Back safe and sound in its hiding spot...
Looking in the wrong place at first but eventually found it. Thanks. Sorry for the late log.
No luck...
Going to the top for the virtual cache and then back for another look. Any extra hints anyone can give me?

No bunnies about in these holes today. Heaps of muggles tho but with kids running and climbing everywhere you can get away with lots. Tftc! 
Finally found this cache after having my hands down plenty of wrong holes, I finally found the right one!!! TFTC
