I'm sorry I have taken so long to disable this cache! Due to work commitments I am no longer living in the Albury region, I will endeavour to either archive or transfer the ownership to another cacher. Once again I'm very sorry I havn't gotten to the earlier, I havnt even had access to Internet to update the cache!

Out and about with Daz and the Geokids, we had attempted this one previously only to find it had been muggled. Today we found the cache, but no log, so we added some paper in.
The kids had a ball getting dizzy!!
TFTC.
 
30-Aug-14
Nice day to take the kids to the park. Once some muggles had cleared off the play equipment the kids went and played. Once I had sent the kids spinning I had this one in hand quickly however there was no log. Returned the cache to its hiding place.

Found this little cache after failing at 3 others, made us feel accomplished enough to call it a day!
 
16-Aug-14
Finally every time I drove by this one there were little muggles so after dropping the geoboss at work I tried this again it was early and cold so no little muggles. Found quickly and SL before a bunch of fitness muggles headed my way. TFTC

Thanx good find after a couple of tough ones.
 
02-Aug-14
Just as I arrived at the site, a family of muggles arrived and took over the very piece of equipment I needed to access. I waited and waited and finally I approached them and asked tall Mr Muggle if he could read up and grab it for me. The log was lying on the soft fall as the container had not clipped shut firmly enough after the last cacher. I have introduced a new family into caching! The young lad was ready to go home and get his iPad and start straight away looking for his own treasures. TFTC

Found with the help of a tool on a Saturday evening. I used to play netball across the road over 30 years ago. A nice? memory on my quick trip to Albury. TFTC.

Simple find.

A couple of hours spare meant a leisurely little jaunt out for a couple of caches today. Heading into town from Lavy ensured that this one would be the first attempt for the day.
When I arrived nearby GZ there was one muggle about, enjoying the park with her young one, but far enough away from where I needed to be searching. She appeared to be busy talking on her phone, so as a ruse I figured that I would do the same, except I was ''talking" on my GPS.
A likely hiding spot was determined, but the difficulty would be in retrieving the hide in what is a very open and challenging position. Hopefully the parade of muggles going here, there and everywhere surrounding GZ would be concentrating on what they were doing and not taking any notice of me.
SL at 2pm. No dramas with the search and replaced as found. I was a bit concerned that my replacement of the cache may not of been 100% secure, but I have noticed that it has been found since so all must of been good.
Excellent place for a hide, especially for the kiddy winks. TFTC (Geo)cash.

I headed out to Glen Park today to watch the other half play her soccer game so I thought I'd swing by and see if I could get a smiley here. Arriving at GZ a group of kids and adults were occupying the greater area of the park, with two young girls using the dizzy swing. I left for the game having no time to wait around.

I returned after the game to find the park empty so I made the short walk over to GZ and found the cache easily, and within reach of my 6'2" frame.

Nicely placed! TFTC! Smile

Quick grab at a stretch while kids played on the dizzy swing. Geomum might have even had a go on the swing with geonephew. Forgot how much it hurts being crammed into the side of the swing! Thanks for bringing us to a playground we hadn't stopped at previously.
 
19-Jul-14
Kids had a great time at the park. Thanks for the cache.

Easy but dark

Awesome cache
 
12-Jul-14
Kind of found this one. Kids wanted to do a night cache on the way home from dinner so we thought this one would be a quick easy one. We swung into the carpark to see a small group of people in the general vicinity. "Cachers or kids?' we wondered. Once our headlights shone on them they took off like rabbits. The police swung in 30 seconds behind us in pursuit, so we had our answer.

Once the park settled down, we had a look around and could easily see it, but alas was out of reach without some serious gymnastics. Gave us an amusing evening anyway.

# 6520. Heading to Albury on this cold winter's day with Robmc to do some chores. Decided to pick up a few caches along the way.

We were first in the new container and it sure was way up high. What Rob didn't mention in his log was that he did try to sit on the swing and it shot away from under him so that he ended up in the dust. That's one way to make yourself noticed in a playground while trying to be discrete. Oh well, you live and learn.

Thanks (Geo)cash
 
07-Jul-14
No luck finding this one today. Looked in the most obvious spot whilst the kids had a play but couldn't see it.
Will have to return
 
07-Jul-14
Was muggled. New one in place !
 
07-Jul-14
Needed to pop up to Albury to do a bit of shopping with BettyBoo3747, found a bit of extra time to grab a few caches on the way.
I may have been tall enough to reach the cache, but I was way too big to sit on the swings! Who was the killjoy who designed such a narrow swing anyway? Smile
Thanks, Robmc.

We pulled up to this one not long after the sun had gone down and were lucky enough to get a short break in the rain. Mrs Jacko could remember playing in this park when she was young and we spent a few minutes helping her relive those years with me swinging her around for just a little longer and a little faster than she would of liked Smile
TFTC.

Went yesterday afternoon but there was no way with a continuous stream of little muggles. Decided it had to be a night time find. Found the cache this morning at 6.30am. SL TFTC Smile

Was out and about town so thought I'd swing round and grab this one.
Was very much a regular at this park when I was a much younger tacker as I lived only 5 min walk away. Back then it was known as the steamroller park because of the main feature that used to be here but removed many many years ago.
Also spent much time on the dizzy swing, how we never broke bones I never know.
A cache to bring back the blast from the past memories. Smile

TFTC, Cheers.
