Thanks to help of BoogieRogue it looks like the cache has definitely gone.
Second try but still no luck. Not a nice area for searching with all the rubbish.
So revolting with all the rubbish & our Nav system was all over the place so we gave up!

Im planning on improving this cache location and how it is hidden, it will still have the same name though.
There is a bit of rubbish lying around, but you can use it for CITO practice I guess.

A lovely series showcasing these great little parks. A little surprised to find this container just sitting in the bush. It's very nice to have geocaching bring me into this Bush Near The Beach but it's a shame to have geocachers tramping this bush while they're hunting. A bit of camo keeps a container hidden but it also helps geocachers find what they are there for. I have added some local camouflage to make this easier to spot. Sounds funny but you know it makes sense. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
I gave up at first, but the i came back later and focused more then I saw it, good challenge team??
OCW PelDroedGwin, we found half of this series before his football match and continued after the game.
I liked the cryptic hint on this one and once I'd worked it out I spent too long searching a nearby object that matched perfectly.
After a few circles it was spotted in plain sight

OCW the Bebes. This could have taken a while but managed to spot it quite quickly. Tftc
Very difficult with a lot of bush and lantana around and no clue. Searched for ages but also too much rubbish. TFTC
Another DNF which with the help of the updated coordinates we now managed to find.
Just got bit confused by the name of the cache, which may be a bit misleading.

Decided to head back to Freshwater for more of the *Bush Near The Beach* series. Problem is the next few in the series numerically have a series of DNFs. So decided to bypass them and start at *#9*.
No problems finding three and then two more in a different series.
After heading off for some retail therapy I finished the day with an unexpected First2Find.

Returned to the BNTB series today with the family's chief puzzle solver, after the dust had settled from Saturday's crazy FTF frenzy, to have another go at the five caches that we had DNFed on the Saturday visits. Had noted that many of the caches in the series have now had their coordinates updated, so we were hopeful of some finds today. This was the 1st of 4 finds, and 1 DNF, for today.
Arrived at a very familiar GZ, having already made three visits here, and was amazed to locate the cache in one of the first spots we looked. Can't believe none of us spotted it on any of those previous visits, as I know I walked right past it on numerous occasions while searching the area, but just happy to find it today. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC OrienteeringCJH and FlappyBirds.

OCW marj01. The mission being to check out the fifteen new caches in the BNTB series. We noticed from reading the previous logs that the coords for a number of the caches were out, in some instances up to 25 metres. Not to be daunted we set out before sunrise and after grabbing a warm up cache on the way we up and running. Thankfully we were able to stop the run of dnf's here as the cords were spot on. TFTC
Decided to attempt all the caches in the series that was released recently. Thanks to a previous log, I soon had the eyes looking down to see the cache sitting in plain sight. TFTC!
Three caches with coordinate changes up to 13m is a fairly significant change to get accurate coordinates.
From the [guidelines.](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx?expand=1#coordinates)
Listings must contain accurate GPS coordinates. You must visit the geocache site and obtain all the coordinates with a GPS device. GPS usage is an integral and essential element of both hiding and finding geocaches and must be demonstrated for all cache submissions.
Please ensure that you get accurate coordinates prior to submitting the cache in future.

No. 3 today.
After yesterdays fail here with vk2df FlappyBirds gave me another hint and cache was found instantly. Cannot believe we missed that yesterday. #269 TFTC TNLNSL

Looking for a joint find with vk2df but came out empty handed. Even after CO gave us a hint we couldn't find it. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for bringing us here
Went out in the morning to find the caches in this new series, with the aim for at least a few FTFs. However, after having no luck at the five first ones, we gave up.
