This geocache went missing. Not able to provide regular maintainance sorry so am archiving.

CO states this was missing 1 yr ago with no further communication

Cache has gone missing

Either; A - I've lost the knack after my long absence. Or B - this cache is gone. I'll keep an eye on the logs and come back later.

despite having found this earlier but leaving it to be signed on a dot day, - today it wasn't to be found cache creep maybe??

Quick find

Interesting spot to put a cache. co ords were slightly out for us and I wouldn't call it tucked away. Another day trip to palmy and surrounding areas to try and clean up all the green dots we still have left on our map. Log signed as b&p.Tftc

As it was school hours and in view of the description I suspected this might be a no go.
Managed a very quick look without success but once female students appeared in the distance it was outta there quick before someone reported a lone male snooping around.

Found after a search. Co-ords were very close, I should have stuck with them instead of assuming where it would be. Thanks for the cache!

Very early start to the day, 4.30am wake up and leaving the house just after 6.30 fill the tank pick up sunju and we are off, our main goal today was to grab some multi's and ? caches that we both hadnt found, and a couple of standard ones finishing up around 5.30pm it made a very long day, we walked what felt like many kms getting lost/answers. - this was a nice quick find that was also a second attempt tftc

Found it

Took a little while to spot the cache, but saw it eventually.
Thanks.

Tried finding this cache once in the dark and once in daylight with the phone GPS but couldn't get it to settle on a particular spot. Searching the area didn't reveal the cache on either occasion, however decided to give it another go tonight using the Garmin GPS. Zeroed in on a particular area but still didn't spot the cache so sent a text to a previous finder to try and get a better idea of the hiding spot... and sure enough a second look before the response came back finally revealed the cache. TFTC and another dot-day eliminated.

Took a while..but find it !

Found after the very enjoyable Winter Warmer III event. Who should I meet here but tmann421, Just-Lookin and EK.spygirl. Good to see you all. Briefly a small gathering here! TFTC.

Another nice find with Just-Lookin & EK.spygirl.
Found after the Winter Warmer Event today.
We soon had the container found here.
Nice to bump into edvern here!
SL TFTC

Having just attended the Winter Warmer III Event with tmann421 and EK.spygirl, we collected a few more caches while heading home. Bumped into edvern here and had a chat before heading onto the next one.

Out and about today with tmann421 and Just-Lookin. We attended the Winter Warmer III and collected some caches as well. Had lots of fun. TFTC

I had to wait for a muggle to leave the car park to carry on looking for the cache, he must of thought I was strange. I found it pretty quickly then signed the log and headed off then realised at the end of the street I had left my cell phone behind by the cache so quickly returned I was so pleased it was still there and it was school holidays. TFTC

Another one

Found it!

second one found today - let's find some more!

Got it

Found another one! I like leaving the muggle world behind

PENZ conference 2016

Phone kept directing us onto private property. Not a good one for little kids

I was in town for work and after getting what I needed to do done decided to spend a little time grabbing a couple of caches before heading out for the evening. Parked nice and close and quickly found this cache before heading off for another part of town for a walk. TFTC.

Couldn't find the one down the road so stopped here for a nice quick park n grab. TFTC

We parked close by and again had to wait for the muggles to go,then in and wrote the log and re-concealed.TFTC!

We qualify as lifelong learners and we connected with some curriculum here (a bit of literacy, numeracy and technology) for a quick find. All was quiet while we were in the vicinity but it will be very busy once school's out. TFTC

Had to postpone my search until the coast was clear, then it took me a while to find the cache which was fairly obvious in the end - I had been looking in all the wrong places.
Thanks for the cache and hope you all have a great conference.

Quick find no doubt made a lot easier with update coordinates which are now correct. TFTC

Coordinates changed from:
S 40° 20.700 E 175° 36.433

Coordinates changed to:
S 40° 20.704 E 175° 36.442

Distance from original: 48.3 feet or 14.7 meters.
Thanks for the help updating our coordinates

Published

Joint [FTF] with loopysue and sunju. We couldn't find the other cache just published. Had a look here, the co-ordinates were pointing into the school grounds. Found cache at S 40 20.704 E 175 36.442. Thanks for the cache.

Did anyone take some better co-ords please?
Thanks popmac. That should help.

A quick dash by Popmac, Loopysue and myself to see who could find this first. A wide search in a flurry of activity. Popmac had this in his hand very quickly. The co-ordinates were out. Once logged (and the FTF clearly should go to Popmac as he actually found it .. I did actually help by providing a tool to get the log out as it did not want to co-operate lol) we all dashed back to the other one in North Street to make a wider search presuming the co ords would be out there as well. This was a good safe place to hide a cache with easy parking off the road and away from muggles - at least while school is in session. TFTC

Joint first to find with Popmac and Sunju
Co-ordinates were out like the others but was awesome hunting with two others all trying to find it. Like has been said Popmac found both of them and we just added out names as we were all there at the same time.
