I headed over to try my luck with the new cache that had recently been published without success but did manage to find this one. I understand that in its current form the hide is different and less controversial than the original. I may well be the only person who ever finds this because it is now archived and so most cachers won't even know it exists and is still able to be found.
Thank-you to Sparra0907 for placing this geocache

This cache is still there and back on track, well hidden and waiting to be found by cachers with good observational skills. Cheers.
Working near here today then saw the kids playground and to start with no children around but even though I thought I was early 7.45 am after a look around with no luck children turned up and being a single male cacheing today wandering around with a I phone .. Not a good look these days so was happy to get out of here and find another more suitable place to go cacheing.. May try again when I have kids with me or on a wet 5 am visit maybe???
Maintenance has now been done on this cache and it's back up and running and ready to be found again. Thanks & cheers. Sparra0907 the CO.

Got it today. Cammo totally gone, cant find it, all exposed. Musta been good cammo. Fooled me twice before but not today.
Having come up DNF on this where FTF was still up for grabs I have been meaning to come back to it as its only 900m from my casual weekend job but a multitude of this has prevented me, this avo after getting an early mark from work I popped up, I went around and around, the coords kept jumping around, just as I was about to once again give up something caught my attention, how could I have missed that? The camo was very loose and I didn't even realise that I had dislodged it till I came past again, well I assume I dislodged it? I need and extraction tool which I had with me and soon after my name was on the log.

No luck at this one for us today. Struggled to get the GPS to settle, everywhere seemed to be 7m from GZ. We cut our search short as muggles in there house across the road were starting to get suspicious... One on the reasons we don't like cache near children's play equipment. Thanks to sparra0907 for the challenge.
Out for the second time looking for this elusive cache. With two of us looking, still no luck. We have spent a considerable amount of time looking for this sucker. A hint would be nice although I don't think we'll be back.
Another dnf for us after a good look..... Second attempt. This one is my nemesis 
Day two of the Mega and I had my two boys tagging along today for some caching fun. Another great day to be out and about. We found a few caches early in the day before attending the event, then we headed back out again to grab a few more later in the afternoon.
With the number of DNF's here I wasn't sure if we would be lucky enough to finbd this one but our perseverance paid off and after some time searching the little bugger was found and the log signed.
Thanks for the hide.

Found with neighbourino @ 4:45pm. Few of the neighbours opposite the park were watching still very discreet though.

Have had my eye on this for last couple of days and have been reading previous attempts...and thought why not try to find our first FTF. When my phone finally settled down we had no luck afyer searching for over half an hour I have decided that this is exceptionally well camouflaged and deserves more than level 3 difficulty., so gave it a rest. The ground are recently whippersnipped and mulched...not sure if that has any bearing on this hideaway. Found a lovely caterpillar whi was grateful we didn't pull his house apart
45 mins and nothing, local council workers even helped in the search - we are done good luck to who ever finds it

While I was on my way to pickup Mark for our caching adventure for the night, I stopped off at this one to see what all the fuss is about, I did think about having a look when it was first published but in the end I didn't go.
I arrived at 4:00pm to see a firmiliar body poking around at GZ, I headed over and had a chat with Joey, then the search began, a few minutes later I said to Joey " I have got it " and the blank log was revealed.
I signed it in first position but Joey elected not to sign at this stage, I replaced the hide and we both continued on with our journey.
I'm not sure what to say about the hide as it will probably be frowned upon by a lot of people as it didn't look natural to me, you will need to very gentle with the camouflage, once a few people get there hands on it, it may start to fall apart, but the key is to be gentle, at the moment though, it is well hidden even though it is in your face and looking back at you.

Had a really good search with rokmum this morning. Spent a good hour looking to no avail. Gps jumping all over until finally settling in a spot that was a good 5m radius clearing. No luck here either.
Another 30 minutes of fruitless searching.
Either I'm cache blind or the cache has been muggled or the coords are way out. Regardless, I'll sit back now and wait for someone to simply walk up to GZ, look around and then walk straight to the cache. That's often how it happens.

I saw this cache published last night but despite being only 10 minutes from home, decided against going out for it. I'd had a particularly tiring day and was in no mood to move out of my chair.
This morning I saw that there were still no logs on it and so I decided to go over and try my luck. My GPS put me in the middle of a cleared area. I expanded my search radius, ultimately out to 20m but although I found many possible hiding places for a micro, only managed to turn up pieces of broken glass. I then theorised that perhaps the CO used a phone and so tried mine. That put GZ even further from the likely spots almost to the edge of the grass. After around 30 minutes of searching and with more children arriving to use the playground, I called it quits.
A micro under trees and no hint doesn't make for a pleasant caching experience.
