With a string of DNFs, can the CO please check this one?
 
11-Aug-19
No find today Sad
 
29-Jul-19
Stopped by this evening and had a look for this one. It looks like others have been looking in some spots as well, but no logs for a long time to confirm whether it was cachers or others. Given it has been a while since it was found (which is unusual for trads in the area), perhaps this one needs a check by the CO?

Found at 1125hrs on our way out & about, took a few minutes to locate but not too hard in a nice location but being very mindful of all of the houses looking out onto the area. Thanks Ryanmc05

Thanks Ryanmc05 for the cache Smile

Found it - a cute container but log book black - managed to write initials only. Unfortunately cork slipped in so tweezers might be needed next time / so sorry about that.

We like this little parkland area with all the houses and their picket fences looking onto it - reminds us of an English village green [^].
Thanks Ryanmc05.

As the day warmed up, this was a great spot to stop for a sit down in the shade Smile
The heat was keeping most people indoors and I could shuffle seats to me heart's content, until I found the right seat from which to spy the cache Razz

A short walk around this lovely park with my geopup saw a find that was fairly quick but still took a bit of hunting. Thanks for the hunt this afternoon Smile

I think it has been muggled

Cache now replaced...there for all to find!
 
18-Jul-15
Went out for the second time to try find this cache, couldn't find it. Lifted bush branches, poked around and look in gaps between the rocks and no luck. I would ask the owner to check that the cache still exists. I have searched all around GZ. Maybe the coordinates need updating?
 
11-Jul-15
Had a look around for quite awhile and found some really neat hiding spots, but alas, no cache [B)].
Think this one could do with a check by the CO Smile.
Thanks for showing us this place Ryanmc05.

I have nothing against crows, though I got an idea where the cache was hidden before I found it. Took like 3 seconds. Thanks Ryanmc05
 
22-Apr-15
Nice cache name, and nice quick find.
 
A relatively quick find. TFTC.
 
12-Mar-15
After visiting the nearby shopping centre, we decided to grab this one on the way home :c) No crows to be seen. TFTC!!

Yay found it
 
09-Dec-14
Loved the camo, as we were writing the log it decided to rain on us, so a sprint back to the geomobile was needed!! Thanks for the cache!! Very Happy
 
16-Nov-14
Felt like I had rocks in my head when I couldn't find it at first! New coords are spot on

Cache was found in the first place I looked. Simple.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.
 
12-Nov-14
Freddo found this one as I was walking 22m further on. Go figure. Hmmm, plenty of coordinates below this log if you need them!

Clear skies to Ryanmc05 from TeamAstro.
 
08-Nov-14
Darknstormy and i were eager to get out the house and get some local caches Smile

First off we were in the wrong area and we knew that there couldn't be a cache here, so we read some logs and found some more appropriate coordinates and the cache was ours Smile

Thanks for the cache Ryanmc05 Very Happy
 
08-Nov-14
Furrangel and I decided to get out of the house tonight and grab a few caches that were new in the area to us.

This one lead us around and around ending in areas that really couldn't house a cache..
A quick sit down are read the logs and we found a set of coords that lead us stright to the cache.. 20 odd metres away...

Thanks for the cache Ryanmc05 Very Happy

Coords posted above will get you to the right area... you will get the idea Very Happy
 
27-Oct-14
Tonight we head out to grab a few caches and as we wait for squeaky to get ready we completed some of the local caches, posted coords had us near a very nosey neighbour, these need updating asap so no other cachers look suspicious. TFTC
 
27-Oct-14
These current co-ords need updating as the ones from the listing had us over near a garden bed in front of a house. The muggle watched from her window. Using the co-ords locus cache provided put us in what we thought was the more logical area.
 
27-Oct-14
Found with Locus co words. Found with 3LG on s nights caching
 
19-Oct-14
clever hide tftc
 
10-Oct-14
Fortunately I'd seen this kind of hide before, so with the amended co-ordinates I was able to make a pretty quick find on a lovely spring day. Thanks Ryanmc05
 
05-Oct-14
Nice camo
 
02-Oct-14
Nice quick find using locus' co-ords.
I'm hoping the CO will update co-ords to these as it will stop future searchers from having to spend too much time looking and may stop the nice cache from being muggled.
Thanks for the cache Ryanmc05 and Keep on Caching.

Please don't stone the Crows, they have enough problems without getting stoned. No coach at the moment, no full back and the captain has been injured all year. Please no stones. Sticks and stones will break their bones. Anyway, I did find a stone which was useful and a message in a bottle which I left my mark. Unfortunately I pushed the cork in a little bit to much which scared me as I couldn't retrieve it. I went bach to the car and managed to fix it up for the next seeker. Thanks Ryanmc05 for the adventure.
 
29-Sep-14
Found after keying in locus' coordinates
 
24-Sep-14
A quickish find, after I punched in locus' coordinates.
Thanks for the tricky hide Ryanmc05 [^]

Find #857

We gave this a go on Sunday but didn't spend too much time on it once we realised the coordinates we had in the GPSr were out. With the updated ones programmed into it today it was an easy find. TNLNSL TFTC

A joint silver today for KingQuad on this one!
With 2 screaming geokids at home refusing to nap, and a lonesome sigh from the icache device, everyone was packed into the car and navigating to this one
I pulled up to find an empty park, no less than a minute later locus cache came buzzing in. The coords put me 20+ metres off the mark but with some quick thinking we were looking in the right spot until something didn't look right
Bingo!
Signed at 2.22pm

I was sitting at home when this cache came out however I made a lengthy phone call before Brodie dog and I were ready to leave and loaded a flat tyre into the car to take it to be repaired nearby to GZ, so didn't expect to get FTF but a joint silver with Mrs KingsQuad was a lovely bonus Cool
When I arrived at GZ, KingsQuad were already there but hadn't yet found the cache. Surprised
Turned out, GZ had us in a grass area with no real potential hides so we spread our search further out.
Mrs KingsQuad made the find Cool while I took some rough coords that may be a tad closer than the originals.

FTF @ 14:00
At home working on a website when this notification came through. Only a few minutes by car so off I went.

Coords had me towards the houses at the northern side but logic sent me back to the circle.

Setting here is similar to Happy Birthday Dad, less than a km away. Hope there aren't too many prying eyes!
