Owner does not appear interested in maintaining this cache with all the DNFs. Consider archiving.

logging as found as visited with a cacher who had previosly found it but it is now gone.
yes this was another DNF. BUT now logging as found as visited with a cacher who had previosly found it but it is now gone.
Night caching, unsuccessfully. Hunted under everything I could see, without success. Perhaps daylight may be better time.
Not a fan of caches in playgrounds but managed to get this one free of kids and after a bit of hunting tracked down the cache.
Found with MisComBoBulator.

We got so frustrated we came back to this one because we wanted to say that we had found something.
Very well maintained cache that I found this evening. Nice hiding hole but I had to wait for some muggles to leave tftc
Cache not missing as previous logged said, quick find while with daughter at park
Found the Velcro during the day but it didn't have the cache. It's missing!
Out picking up a few odd caches round Woburn this evening. A lot of muggles in close proximity here so had to be careful. Luckily found without anyone looking. Tftc!
Well hidden. I removed the wet cotton swabs as they were fogging up the box.
We found it without much trouble tucked away in it’s hidey-hole and rescued the TBs. TFTC
#193 bit of a reach around but wet day so no muggles to observe me kneeling in the muddy grass on a chilly bag! Logbook nice and dry. Thanks for straightforward cache to add towards the Mary Hyde challenge TFTC
I've lost count of the number of times I've passed here and driven on because of nearby muggles or just a general sense of disquiet. Today I'd been chained to the desk all day and was getting itchy feet. The family were all still out at various activities and events so I took my chance. The area was very quiet after dark and I could slip in for an easy find without a problem. All in good order.

Nice quick find during a wet walk with the kids and the geohound. My young daughter very kindly volunteered to follow the hint, which saved me from looking strange in this location. Fun hide, thanks for bringing us here!
Got it today on our second visit. Too many muggles last time! Easy find today. Bit damp in container but log in good shape. TFTC
It's our 4th today...we're on a roll! Had to take care with placing it back, as a few muggles turned up
Wow this one definitely wouldn't be allowed in the Isle of Man or UK. But it was very quiet around here today, so after having a play on most of the toys we finally found the container. SL and replaced as found.
Found as part of our "2016 Pensioners' Road Trip"
Many thanks to kated274 for setting this cache and greetings from the Isle of Man.
Cache number 4979
I have to admit to feeling a bit weird about the thought of searching around in a kids play area by myself, so I took my daughter with me to keep me company and help with the hunt.
I asked her to look in a very likely area and she said it wasn't there. In the end, while she was swinging on the swings, I located it in exactly the area I originally asked her to look.
Thank you

Decided that a Saturday evening (after the lotto draw) was the best time to come out and find this one.... no ghouls around tonight either - Bonus
Found after a bit of a search, dropped off Star Wars cards, picked up path tag. Good spot, though felt a bit awkward by myself in a playground. Thanks for the cache!
Nicely done and I wasn't sure that I should enter, but did after reading other logs. TFTC!
This took us quite some time but it turned up in the most likely place...a 200 ml sistema, definitely a cache, thanks kated274
I was passing by this afternoon and noticed the playground was empty, and seized on the opportunity for a look. Found it ok after locating the hiding spot. Found the 200m version. TFTC
I have been wanting to bag this for a long time but it is not a good location for an older male by himself to hang around. Today I was with my granddaughter so was finally able to look for this cache.
I quickly found a black eclipse container on the ground. It was not magnetic and did not have any velcro attached. I hid it as best I could on the ground, hoping that the maintenance contractors do not disturb it.
The log was empty which surprised me as others had reported finding it. I signed the log.
I considered reporting this as "Needs Maintenance" but from experience I know that such reports are not included in "Found" totals. If the CO reads this maybe some maintenance?
Edit...... I have just read the description and the logs and suspect that what I (and a previous searcher) found was not the cache.

Found what I thought was it a eclipse mint box cameo covered with and what looked like a log
No pen with me to write so took a photo
But this doesn't seem to match the description so not sure it's the right one???

Half found it, saw the Velcro where it must have been attached to "under" but container is no longer there
Not our favourite place to search as feel dodgy being in a playground with no kids. A quick find tftc
Saw evidence of Velcro -was container struck to this? Could not find container under.
That as a nice surprise as we were innocently enjoying this cute playground, happy all round!!
Had to hurry because when we got it a kid ran over to see what the commotion was. Probably could've been stealthier.
A cold Sunday afternoon with few muggles around, and no-one in the playground meant this was a quick find. Took the Swiss Flag TB (no sign of Blazer the Bigfoot TB). Tftc.
I still had a few minutes to kill before attending the nearby event so I decided to try finding this cache. It took me a couple of minutes to find it; luckily the facility was not in use and I had the place to myself.
Found on an after dinner outing with Kjwx and geohound Coca. GZ was deserted but it still took us a few minutes to find the cache. Dropped Swiss Flag TB. TFTC
An interesting wee playground which luckily for me was deserted when I visited. Was amused to spot the velcro still in place from a previous short lived hide here (which is not a hint b.t.w.), I think this hide will fare a bit better.

Tested out a new iPhone at thee wifi here for justanurse and this was the closed cache to test the geocaching app on. Tftc
Yay found it! Have been to this one before but far too busy to even try to look. Quiet here today. Picked up Hot Wheels travel bug.
Stopped by after school with a couple of my kids for cover. Took the geocoin and swapped in a stripey car travel bug.
Thanks for hiding this cache.

A nighttime walk to this cache - we didn´t find a TB in there, but we dropped off one, coming from Germany . TFTC - and greetings from Germany to the owner.
