Owner check- GZ is still a construction site. I'll put the cache back as soon as the location is accessible again.

GZ has been fenced off for construction and landscaping. The cache will be replaced when the work is finished.

So cool worth going to super creative decently recommend!!!

Dropped trackable Klara The GeoTrack Kangaroo GT76YY picked up from GC8D6VA - The Library Called The Docks after holding it for longer than intended due to Coronavirus restrictions.

What a lovely spot, I can only imagine it would be crawling with muggles in a weekend outside of lockdown.
As it was, just myself having my daily exercise walking around the foreshore, an a pair of fishermen a little further round.
A really great hide, love the simplicity, but blends completely.
Favourite from me for the location and construction.

Found it

Love the cache box

Great fun

Great easy find! Thanks for the fun

A grumpy and tired GZed always makes for finding a quick cache. This was easy prospect but the parking is horrendous here! We found the cache and then as we were retrieving the logbook, GZed dropped his toy in the water which sparked a tantrum. I quickly signed and replaced the cache and then we headed for the steps so I could make my way down the water to try and get it back for him. A boat came through and the wake push his toy further under the wharf but I was able to retrieve it and calm down my sad toddler. What a mission! TFTC!

Well made! Fun to find

Find 250 for me! This spot was a super lovely one before work

When I got to the park, I found about 150 Asian tourists gathered for some reason. They were being addressed by a man with a megaphone.
I figured they were not looking at me, and anyway were never likely to return, so I simply searched like they were not there. It was a quick find, and by the time I had finished, they had all wandered off.

A nice spot to sit and sign the log.

Great spot

What a clever cache. I liked this one.

Genius

In the area for work and managed to find the time to stop by here.

Found. Great spot. Tftc

Found it in my second attempt. There was a juggle on his phone last time I tried to find this cache. But persistence is the key isn’t it?! And what a fabulous camo!!!! Best one yet. Took a trackable with me too . TFTC

Great camo

Dedicated camo! Found

Seasonal warning about swooping magpies is definitely in order

Lovely morning for a ride and a cache. Easy find. TFTC

Cool camo. Found pretty quickly TFTC

My geosense is spot on today! Found in the first place I looked, replaced as found. I must day, I haven't seen camo like this before but it works very well for this location! A beautiful place to come for a picnic. Thanks for bringing me here and for the cache too

Great cache! Took a trackable for the next good cache I find. TFTC!

Swampcreature I found your cache A picnic in the park on 2/3/19, 5:32 pm. This is my find 2300 and find # 11 today. Beautiful spot with an easy cache. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN

Apologies for my tardiness in logging my finds. Found with Deep_99. SL #3922 on streak day #2420 TFTC

quick find with Ris768, thanks Swampcreature for bringing us to this great park.
dropped off two trackables & picked up two new ones

Log 1785 Streak Day 780

Placed trackable OCNDKX in cache, moving it from Riverside GC6AIGM

Fairly quick find between muggles. Nice hide. A camp I have not seen before. A fav from me. Thanx

Third time lucky (tried two other ones first without luck).
This was a nice find. TFTC

Found the cache, forgot to bring the picnic, but enjoyed the water views anyway. TFTC Swampcreature

Short stroll to GZ and then spotted the hint. Good camo. That should keep log dry. Cool spot. TFTC

Well made. Tftc.

Found it - excellent camo as expected as I know the CO - currently his first and only cache. Well done swampcreature!

First find! Great spot and well concealed

Interesting container!!! Nice views too.

TFTC

Great placement in a location I hadn’t been to before.

Found with ziggiau and aubeasty. Then I climbed a tree.

We walked the dog around from Breakfast Point Village Green as she needed a good outing. The path around the water was very enjoyable and I was surprised to still see the Mortlake ferry very much in action. Closer to GZ there were a few young blokes fishing, but I just went for it and came up with the goods. Well rolled the goods out as I didn’t want the fisherfolk to see. Loved the creative container, we’ll done. Signed and replaced and continued on to explore more of the shoreline. Thanks Swampcreature.

First cache this year

It was too hot for a long walk, but luckily it didn’t take us long to find it. TFTC

A quick find this morning in a great location, after a short walk from breakfast nearby. A cool container - it's clear some thought has been put into this one. TFTC!

So near to home and yet so far if you come at the wrong time of day!
Still on the drive home I bought fish and chips - the sign said 'Best fish and chips in the Universe.' It was good but the price detracted from it a bit.

Now to the cache......I liked it a lot!
So much so I'll award it a favourite point.

Nice park with good views, should have bought the fish and chips on the way here.
The cache was a clever construction, well camouflaged in its spot, watertight and easy to access without muggles knowing what you are doing. There were some fishing not far away but where I sat they couldn't see what I was doing.

Great job for your first cache!

Just the one today, late in the day. Took the punt across the river from Putney and parked further away than necessary.

Pretty sure I've been here for a cache or two over the years. But as I walked to GZ two things happened. First I see a family fishing right where I suspect GZ is located. Second I hear a peal of thunder.
Fortunately the two went together badly and the family left, leaving me free to search... oh, is that it?

Interesting camo. Just don't want to drop it.
Took it to a nearby bench in case another muggle or two turn up, and completed signing duties.
Then I discovered the trackable and back for the replace... just before a muggle and his dog entered the park.

A favourite for the camo. Nicely implemented.
Now for the return journey on the punt!

Great reason to walk on a sunny day!

Tftc. A quick illegal park after hours and we made a quick dash to GZ. Quick find, great cache.

Tftc easy find on a lovely afternoon stroll!

Love the hide and the view. Thanks for putting a new cache in the area.

Found it

Great hide with an awesome view, lucky to snarl this position.
Drove the extra mile to pick this one up after a work or craft day as whatever you imagine. Found on an extremely breezy day, thanks swampcreature

The hippy went yippee with the ftf. Nice one can be a boring spot for a hide but the way the container was done will give it a favourite. Tftc tnln

OCW the Bebes to tidy a few caches. Lovely spot for a cache. Nice view. Tftc

After finding caches at Rookwood and Northmead today I saw the new cache notification when I was on my home, I decided on a detour to Rhodes to meet PelDroedGwin after work so we could grab them together.

I really like this park but it’s a while since I’ve been here.

Coords were spot and the view was beautiful, plus a really well crafted cache
