Upgraded the hide in the hope that it doesn't get muggled again. Difficulty rating increased slightly due to the new hide. Thanks to those who posted DNFs to alert me to the need for a check. Just sorry it wasn't avaliable for the Mega but used a hide method I found on one of the Mega FTF series.
Found the hook I'm guessing it was originally located on at the location in the hint but no sign of the cache itself, guess it could be anywhere along the lane
Last one for me today. The cache is no longer hanging, it's resting on the middle horizontal beam, behind a vertical one, looks safe enough currently but could easily fall off.Glad to tick a lot of Mosgiel caches off!
was just lying on the floorLast one for the day, before heading back to Dunedin to hear a talk. Wandered up the lane and MrMagoo72 soon put his hands on the cache. No longer hanging, but all good inside. TFTC.
Found with MacBayMeri today after a couple of hours of caching in the area. TFTC.
A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.
Ms_KR and I are heading to Invercargill for a tramping club 75th jubilee, so we left a bit early in hope that the weather would be fine, so we could get a bit of caching in. So far it has been good, fingers crossed for the rest of the time away.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.

Found in the dark of night when mushrooms grow. Don't walk down the driveway by like we did hahaha
Found with Sunflowers26 on a day out in the Mosgiel area, grabbing caches I had on my list for a while. Our last one for the day as we were getting hungry and tired. I don't think this one is hidden as intended as it was hidden in a very different way to the cache description and a bit away from the posted coordinates - might be worth a check. Otherwise, no dramas at all. Cheers!
These lanes are so handy for access and geocaching. Happy to sign the log. Thanks for the cache grapea.

Going by the hint, this cache had meant to be hanging in hide but gathering from all the old logs going back a few years the bison had been found sitting on the timber albeit 10mt off co'ods. A wery full log slip got signed but you won't find any evidence of the doe eyed noob geo touring the Dunnas caches they drive their car up to. *Drive up to mailbox, stick phone outta car window, log cache, drive to next P&G*. Being a micro there won't be a pen in this cache. I hadn't had much to do with Mollywood, having cached the Strath Taieri up to the Northern line - there were too many missing caches in Mosgiel to bother caching the largest saturation of unfound caches from home district at that time. Yep, these walkways are handy for walking from one street to the other. Returned cache as found. *Labyrinth **15pt** trad **160pt***. TFTC
Cache 1150 Nice little stroll between streets here cache was a super quick find, this is definitely an old log so many names ️️️ love seeing log books like this, cache is in good shape (though is no longer “hanging”) T4TC
I had looked for this one previously but felt conspicuous being taller than the fences so didn’t stay long. Had indiboo with me today and we made a quick find here. That’s all the Mosgiel caches found for me for now.
Thanks for the cache, grapea

I had some time to fill in before my flight back home this morning. I filled this up by going for a walk along the Silver Stream and exploring a few areas of Mosgiel I haven't visited before.

Had a few minutes before I had to jump on a plane back home. Dropped a friend off at home so just wondering around the area.
This one had my scratching my head for a while. GPS was jumpy but I finally found the right end of the post.

As we were heading this way continued on from Arthur’s tarn. We were spotted at GZ by a cat in an overlooking tree who protested to our presence. TFTC #345
Found this one sitting on the fence, but replaced it where we thought it should be. Nice little hide TFTC
Biking back from the Silverstream Mrs D demanded to explore this pathway. Mr D found the reason why. Then off again to bike the pathway under the motorway (which hasn't yet got a cache on it - better get to work grapea!). A lovely gradient all the way up the old road back to Sunnyvale and a long cold drink at the cafe.
It took me a bit longer to find it than expected even though it was where I expected it to be. I didn't know that this lane existed.
Walking down the path my progress was suddenly blocked by two trailers that someone had parked right in the middle. Finding this annoying, I made my way around them, only to be confronted with a wooden trellis built across the path, stretching almost all the way across from wall to wall.
"Who are these people," I thought grouchily, "who act as if they own the place?". Grumble, grumble.
Then, it suddenly occurred to me they actually did. In the dark, I had missed the walkway and had gone down the neighbouring properties' driveway. Whoopsie.

7 day challenge brought me out to this cache and this was a nice and easy find. TFTC
Almost forgot 23rd July was a no find day (dot day). Lucky I have left some easy ones to find. Quick find in the dark.
Love the idea of lane caches, even on a wet afternoon. Tftc smiley and jewel
Easy find in the drizzle. Not much of a day for caching but we need the jewels for the Mystery at the Museum. TFTC
Found on 15/07/2019.
It's the school holidays so I've got some spare time to catch up with a backlog of new(ish) caches...
A nice quick park and grab.
