As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

Time for the CO to maintain the cache.

I noticed this cache has a string of DNFs and that the CO has not responded to the [blue]Needs Maintenance[/blue] log. I have temporarily disabled this listing, to give the cache owner an opportunity to repair their cache in accordance to the cache maintenance guidelines. http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

While I feel Geocaching.com can hold this location for a cache owner and block other caches from being placed nearby, it cannot be held forever. In other words… Use it or lose it.

Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the [blue]archive listing[/blue] link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing or replacing this cache, please log a reviewer note on the cache page (not email) within the next 30 days to avoid the cache being archived due to non-communication.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Second try, still no luck.

Had a really good look but no it wasn't meant to be.

After so many Cachers not finding it,it needs to be sorted out by the CO or Archived..ASAP

Thought we might be the lucky ones today,but no it seems to have gone.

No joy. Didn't spend too long here after previous DNF's and muggles galore.

Third time looking.

Looked twice now and no luck for me. Thanks

Had a little look, but as said in description lots of muggles about and people were in their garden by cache.

Had a good fossick. No luck. Will watch.

A few too many people walking around, not found today.

With the new co-ordinates and an urge for fitness I decided to come up here on an early morning bike ride....not the best move in the world, but I made it
Soon had the wee blighter in hand and signed. Nice one, cheers.

chuurrrrrrrr bro town

Thanks Tim for the new coords

Went off to find a cache or 2 after a delightful lunch with fellow cachers. Took a bit of time to find it but got there in the end. A good first attempt. TFTC

We found this relatively easy after reading the logs. We found it 28 metres away from GZ. Really should have the co-ords corrected, but OK to find as long as you allow this amount. Thank you.

The phone went off and I was busy with the night routine with the cachelets. I checked the phone and saw a new cache was published. It was 0.8km away... wait 0.08km away!? 80m away! Mrs TW said "GO". I headed out to GZ and we had talked about placing one here. GZ took me up a drive way and I had a bit of a look but I had to retire to finish off the night routine. I sent CO a message and was put on track. I finished off getting the cachelets off to bed and had 10mins up my sleeve before Mrs TW had to get going to a pilates class. I out the gate and spotted half of TwoSharpe with ThreeSharpe looking. We gave it the 10mins and said TwoSharpe would find it after I left... sure enought. Good work on the FTF. I left it until today as I dropped off Cachelet #1 to a school disco and gave this one another go and found it after about 30secs!!! Oh well. Nice to tick the closest unfound cache off the list. Good work joshw8 on your first placement, as it turns out that's my neighbour!!! I have the following for GZ S43 34.537 E172 37.495

Thanks for the cache.

Yusss Ftf 7:15 after what turned out to be a lengthier than hoped for search. Ably assisted by ThreeSharpe and The Wanglers, although the latter had to skip out just before the find. Happy to joint Ftf if you can get back there you probably touched it! Took coin. Tftc

NB, Co-rds were about 30m out on my device

Hi Tim

No the cache is not in the rock wall it is above.

Cheers.
