For the DNFs since my last check, I note that most have fairly low cache finds. This one can be tricky for the newer cacher, and relatively easy for the more experienced cacher.Try not to be discouraged, as it is a learning experience. I have countless DNFs, only to come back a while later, months in some cases, with more experience and find it almost effortlessly.One cache in my early days, took about 6 attempts, over several months. It was a leafy camouflaged cache in a leafy bush, even once found, if you blink there was a good chance you 'lost' it again. This was not an effortless cache, even now that know where to look it can take a moment to find it.A few general hints.1. Keep in mind the size of the cache as you look. A nano is about the size of the end of the small finger of an adult. Yep, tiny, tiny.2. When getting close, 5m say, to a GZ, put the phone / GPS down, stop and just look. Knowing the size can help work out where might a cache be. Whats at GZ? A bush, a gate, a fence, pile of rocks, tree(s), sign, wall.In this case there is a fence, what is the construction? Where might a nano hide, out of sight of muggles (non-cachers) gaze as they walk past.3. Cache names will often be a clue as to where to look, Tight fit indeed.Also for the newer cacher, many nanos are magnetic.
After searching for a little time a second look in the obvious place came up with the treasure. A busy road. So busy people pass by and don't notice us
A quick find after missing a nearby one. Just getting dark and walking the slow way back to my hotel. Thanks.
Once again, circuiting around the suburb with Nubbutpro, walking and caching. Might have to stop by the bakery later for a bite AGAIN. This is the ninth of many for our walk. No need for TOTT when you have fingers like me! (Also the willingness and courage to delve into every crevice possible). TFTC! #97
Caching around the area we arrived at this cache, with me and Glacial1 searching every nick and cranny we could find, this cache being the size nano. It wasnt long after we found the cache hiding in a comfy place. TFTC
At long last!!!Nasty nanos, who came up with the idea? Lock them up and throw away the key, and burn down all the nano factories!
Checked, sill there, it was a little pushed up from where it should have been. Moved it back down to where it should be.Once again please put caches back exactly as you find them, not higher, not lower, not in a 'better' spot.That said its fairly easy to accidentally push it up if wearing gloves, this is a bare finger sort of cache.

I think I went to look for this one a while ago but it started raining and I abandoned my search. This evening I returned, determined, and yes, with tweezers in hand- but I couldn’t find the bugger.
Cache was slightly out of place and is now back where it should be.
Please remember to put all caches back exactly where it was so everyone gets the same experience ... and so a CO can find them quickly and not have to go looking themselves, but mostly the first point.

Quick find here today, not sure if the cache was where it should be as it was easily visible and accessible? Needed TOTT to get the log out!

Did some urban caching today with naughtybunny. Could work out the location easy enough and happy to have found this in no time. Normally a busy road here during peak hour. TNLN. Cheers.
Day 2 of my Adelaide adventure with my sister jendavo01, lots to see and several caches found. So a great day fir a geocacher. Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining their for others to find .
Checked, cache is in place, plenty of log space for future finds. All is good if a little tight.
Very sneaky spot. Only TOT I required for this was iPhone on a selfie stick so I could check spots easily between breaks in traffic. TFTC.
#184 Luckily, we found the cache lying on the footpath. No idea where it was supposed to go, so have placed it somewhere near the coords where it's pretty easy to find it. The CO might need to check and move to the correct hiding spot. TFTC!

Caching with geohubby cachehunter after work. Argh a nano. Time for a nano rant.....
Bloody Nanos! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and may those who hide Nanos be cursed to look for them for all eternity.

Found with NiciDanielle. So funny story about this cache. I've worked for Weber for about 7 months now and only just in the last month discovered that there was a cache right on the doorstep. Took a bit to find and some steel as the first time I reached in I thought I felt something furry. Then your mind plays tricks and you're thinking "I've just touched an egg sack", and that weird shuddery thing happens. Turns out it was probably just the container as the second time I went in with a TOTT and only found the container, which was a Bloody Nano! Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, praise be to those who shun the heathen nano spawn and eternal damnation to those who wallow in their false glory. TFTC right out front of my work I'd say come visit me sometime but you can't get in to my floor.
After the nearby event i came over to tidy this one up.
Checked a few spots and then bingo.

I took a nice walk through leafy Rose Park in the glorious sunshine. All caches found without too many troubles.
Thanks for the cache Knightyme.

I was discouraged by all the. DNF logs but decided to give this one a go. I really overthought things too, but in the end I simplified my thinking and made the find. My second challenge was the fact that I only had my stamp on hand. Oh no. Luckily through some professional stamp manoeuvres I was able to get most of my name on the log. (In one square too!) it’ll say something like “ushwalke” but I’m still proud of my stamp skills. TFTC!
Very nicely done, had to put our thinking caps on and came up with the goods. TFTC
Maybe it was pushed in further. It seemed like it needed us to pull away a lot of stuff on someone's property to find it.
Did a check and the cache is still there, it was not quite where it should be, so has been re-positioned ready to be found again.
Please replace all caches as found, not further in or further out, or "that more interesting place" Allow all cachers to have the identical experience. Thanks.
Besides as the description says moving this cache to a more 'interesting' place would also mean this cache would be inside the perimeter of another cache. It is not called tight fit for nothing. lol

Had a quick look for a minute but felt far too conspicuous to keep going for long.
Thanks for the cache!

Thanks knightyme for this tiny cache. Felt conspicuous looking in all the wrong places first, on such a busy road.
Need to come back another time when it’s quieter
Traffic is banked up. Too many muggles in their cars

Found after attending the nearby event in a bid to get to 2000 caches before the year's end. TFTC
The chicken put her (claws?) on this one after a short search together. Thanks for the cache
This tiny tiny cache took a bit of finessing to wiggle out of its hiding spot! First time not feeling too worried about sticking my fingers up obviously spider webby poles so I'll call that a milestone! TFTC! Sabo + JJ
Got some hints from previous logs, and with a geo-husband who's much more adventurous then I am, especially when people mention spiders, cache was soon in hand. Phew. TFTC
New log, and I have rudely put my name in the FTF spot.
I’ve often wondered “why 161?”. It’s not a round number of feet either.
Thanks for the challenge and maintenance in this dense cluster of caches, Knightyme.

Went for a maintenance run. Replaced the container and log. All ready for to be found.
Thought this was going to be our first DNF for the night, but after putting the caching goggles on, success!
Log is now full TFTC!
Ps - no climbing necessary

Didn't want to climb anywhere, besides, when is this road
I will return another day. Keep smiling

I had to unexpectedly drop muggle son into the city for work as they had called him in and wanted him there ASAP So much for his day off! [|)][xx(]
Still it gave Rex and I a reason to be out and about and exercising[^] as we joined hundreds of people at Victoria Park[?]
We maintained our social distance[^] although many didn't[xx(]
Saw some gorgeous police greys heading our way so I grabbed Rex' collar while a little Shitzu/Maltese type dog decided to chase the greys and bark at their heels
A female officer had to ask what type of dog Rex is and then a male officer told me to 'bring the dog with you' when I get back to volunteering I'm sure that'll be fun, too
Slowly Rex and I made our way back home, enjoying a glorious day of sunshine even if it did smell like lavender scented sanitiser because every cache we found was sanistised as well as my hands were [^]
Got to love a day with 0 DNFs and 12 cache finds although maybe 11 finds would have been more appropriate on the 11th of the month
The only tight fit today was getting the cache undone did that, SL and replaced[^]
Now to go wander some open spaces
