Logs
I cannot see any information that suggests to me that steps have been taken to resolve the issue/s associated with this placement - one or more of the following applies:
- Cache Owner unable to maintain cache
- No response from the cache owner.
- No cache to find or log to sign.
- It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.
- Cache has been abandoned by cache owner/cache in disrepair
As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to also prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the next 28 days, just contact a reviewer (by email and include GC number in cache name) and, assuming it still meets the current guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.
If there are components or remnants of the cache and you haven't already done so, please return to the GZ and collect the cache (or remnants). We don't want to litter our environment with Geotrash.
Should you wish to replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

[u]MAINTENAINCE REQUIRED?[/u]
[blue]I notice from one or more recent log entries that this cache [u]appears[/u] to be in need of owner intervention. Therefore, I am temporarily disabling it so as to stop it showing up on search lists and to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.
Prompt attention by cache owners to any log that indicates anything could be amiss will be greatly appreciated by all seekers. The guideline advises; "if you can't check/fix it straight away then Disable it till you can." see here http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance and here's how; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235
Please respond to this situation by 1st March to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness. If you require more time, please be sure to post a "Write Note" log (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.
And don't forget, once you have addressed the issue, post both an "Owner Maintenance" log, see here; http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404 and an "Enable Listing" log, see here; https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 to get your cache up and running again.[/blue]

Doesn't look like cazza is going to do any maintenance. Better let this one go then.

Our group searched around here for at least 15 minutes. Even with 7 of us looking, we weren't successful. Our thanks anyway to cazza_thats_me.
A hot and windy day with not much instruction so it was a quick DNF here today and our 3rd DNF for the day.
DNF a micro? Found hundreds of Christmas Beatles searched several trees and bushes, feel the garden is going to get trampled
DNF at 11:16 AM. We spent ages looking, even got some guidance from the CO, but could not find anything. We were just trampling the garden bed in the end.
I have searched for this a couple of times now and I knew it had to be easier than I was making it. This time I trusted the gps, and started thinking like a geocache. It turned up. TFTC
This was the second time I looked for this. I must be making it harder than it is. Will go back another day.
The skateboard ramp, which was well populated today and is not far from GZ, is fortunately screened from GZ by bushes, making it safe to grab the cache, sign the log and replace the cache with no notice taken by the skateboarders and onlookers. TFTC.
Found. Had to shelter nearby when a rain shower came over and a muggle stopped to put on her coat. It was elusive for a short while until my geo brain clicked into gear. TFTC
Well after something like a 3 month break from caching, I decided to have a go at this one as it seemed to be within my current capabilities. You could tell I am rusty, and with trying to avoid a couple of groups of muggles, this one took me way longer to find than it should have, but in the finish I had it in my hot little hand. As I have been housebound for some time, I am glad these new caches keep appearing nearby so that I can keep doing this great activity . TFTC
Just noticed that the new lights are completed and that the park has been reopened.
Another cold blustery day keeping muggles inside. Quick find and a quick walk back home.

The sports park is temporarily closed for maintenance work and all gates are locked.
