We thought we'd look while in the neighbourhood and a PAF told us we were checking all the right places. After giving us the flat out description we found nothing and decided that we weren't finding anything here today. TFTC!
No luck, part of the gate is destroyed so not sure if it might have been taken?

Out for an easy ride and to collect a few caches on the way.
No muggles resting near GZ today and the cache was quickly found.
Thanks.

Out for a bit of a bike ride and decided to stop for a few caches on the way.
Was only able to have a brief look as the flood gates were closed and there was a constant presence from cyclists resting here before returning back along the cycle path.
Will look again at a quieter time.

Was worried that there would be a large drain at the 'flood gates' but it was a straightforward find. TFTC

There was a bit of a gap between the last cache and this one, so we got a bit of steady riding in. I spotted this one quickly, as I glanced over the area.

Found it 
loving the bike track series. We are amazed we have found a number of caches as we drive on the m7 all the time. Once again it was a race to GZ. Easy find, TFTC the_coyote_73

Easy find, TFTC the_coyote_73 We were riding the M7 today to give Toriaz a chance to practise using her clip-in pedals on her new bike. This cache proved to be very easy for us. Toriaz was in front of me on the track and had found the cache before I had even pulled up properly. In fact, she was still just getting her bearings when she noticed that cache. This seemed to bode well for the next few caches. Thanks
Relatively quick find in a nice peaceful spot. We signed the log then sat against the fence and ate our lunch- the halfway point for our journey today. Thanks for another great cache.
Thanks for this small one, thanks to the low-cut of the green around this gate fastly found... T4TC
Parked at Jedda Rd & walked to gz to make a quick find. Having completed the other caches nearby, we're glad to have a smiley here too, it's more appeasing to our ocd. Tftc xo

Working today less than 300mts from this one had to go for the walk. It has all been nicely mowed at gz helped make a quick find .TFTC
Quick find with geograndson.tftc

Easy find on a quiet Easter Monday boarding down the bike track. Flood gates were closed, no surprise there due to the amount of rain over the long weekend. TFTC!
Never knew there were flood gates here and guess what? They were in use today! What a cool coincidence! Happy days. Thanks for the cache the_coyote_73!
Found on a nice and sunny day, after a week of LOTS of rain. No surprise that the flood gates were closed.
Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
I was driving by, so I stopped and did a search sans the GPSr and lo and behold it was a quick find. Thanks.
An after work drive, followed by a wet walk, with the flood gates were appropriately closed.
I knew where it had to be, but it took a few moments to spot.
TFTC.

Saw this published, not wanting to miss the chance of a FTF being so close, went on the bike in 30deg, managed a FTF and a long ride at the same time. Thanks The Coyote 73.
