I like it Another one off the list TNLNSL TFTC/TFTH/TFBUH Know-Mads [^]Fourth time back to find this one...think the clue might need updating as we didn't find this one that easy! There are many places you think it could be hidden but reach under and you will eventually find it! TFTC
Searched and searched, took longer then it should have. Did a quick check of the area but missed it. Persisted and found!!
Thankfully, quickly located after my two previous finds that had taken way too long (how long it too long for a D5?). No muggles around. Obvious spot. Cute little park. Plastic bag is torn. TFTC
As the hint says, it's easy. First place I looked-almost. Love these strip parks behind the houses. Inverloch has a few to explore.
Not sure if we made it harder than it needed to be but for a small cache it was a big area
11/06/2016 - 2.25pm - No. 595 - 1st for the day. With dgfb33 & YouCanDoIt2. I had checked for nearest, shortest or best caches to get last night before bed & this one was on the list. Pouring rain & cold kept me in bed first thing so we had an after lunch start as the three of us wanted to get a cache & a chance for a souvenir today. Collected YCDI2 & headed out along the coast road. Direction machines got us to where we needed to be & off we went on foot to make a nice quick find. Log signed & returned to it's hide. Managed to get there & back without the weather getting us wet although it was quite nippy! Thanks for the cache.
Interestingly on our way back along the coast road ... windscreen kept getting dirty which required washers & wipers & we deduced sea spray ... while I didn't have a camera in my hand I happened to see a heap of spray come up above cliff height not far from where we were passing in one of the spots where cliff is really close to the road. Haven't ever seen that happen before! No wonder spray was muddy if it was hitting the cliff just beside the road! Hmmm ... it reminded me of a recurring nightmare of ocean over the road & having to drive through it to get where we needed to go ... I shall now file that thought ...!

it was decided that DGFB33, Ceebee and I would go out today and try for a cache. The cache needed to meet 2 requirements, firstly it should not be too far away and secondly it should not be a big walk. This was not so difficult for me as I have lots of caches left to find in reasonably close proximity. For Ceebee and DGFB this was more problematic as they have found many many more than me in the area. Anyway, we struck it lucky that we found one that met all the criteria and that none of us had found yet, so we waited for a patch of blue sky and armed with gumboots (in case we decided to do more than one cache in this awful weather) and headed out, parking as close as we could to this one to meet the second requirement of a short walk. We were surprised by the icy blast of wind as we got out of the car, and despite GZ being in what looks like a normally a fairly sheltered location, today this was not the case. The cold wind was howling around us, and some who did not have coats on found it extremely unpleasant. Ceebee quickly had the cache in hand and with log signed, it was replaced as we hurriedly made our way back to the car to get out of the chilly breeze (gale), and with black clouds still keeping their distance (just). We got back into the car and decided that one cache for the day was all any of us were comfortable getting, and so we made our way home again. We headed back along the coast road and were very surprised to see the high tide hitting the base of the cliffs and huge plumes of spray blowing up above the road level. We were glad to get back home in front of the fire. TFTC
Still at the caravan park at Inverloch so set off today to grab some local caches and this was one we found. Made the find much harder than it needed to be but found and signed the log. TFTC
Not sure if we were just missing the obvious, but searched high and low and couldn't find this one
**FTF** Woo hoo! We got first to find. This particular spot is somewhere we had thought of hiding a cache but were obviously too slow. Well done and thanks for bringing us back to this park.
Damn so close but the Paulsons beat me to it lol missed first to find by 10 minutes!, thanks for cache
