Amazing first find quite easy forgot my pen so couldn't write a date on the back or my name but still had a great time looking for it
### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.It certainly needs to be checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating, or the posted coordinates.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by ShannonPC and to take it off the playing board to prevent further inconvenience to our Geocaching Community.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been taken by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will conclude that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition and waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer
Please check this position owner. There appears to be NO cache here! Looked for ages! Thanks.
No luck on this one. While dodgin tha lawmen an scalin cliffs there were no luck, at all.
DNF: not under tree and it was raining looked so hard and my mum didnt help me cause of the rain.
Weve tried to approach this one from a few different angles, but there was alway a very steep hill or private property in the way. Today we found a way to get to it and had a quick find.Thanks for the cache ShannonPC!

Nice quick find with aadi_is_the_best! We started walking along the marsh from Bilton reserve but realised quite quickly there was a better way... The cache itself is indeed quite damp but the little log in the small pouch was dry enough to sign ) TFTC!
As per previous logs, GZ as found was well off the mark; about 12m SE from there. Thankfully the new little log was nice and dry

Beautiful sparkling autumn day. not a breath of wind, and no muggles ! GZ (apparently) quickly reached, but found the cache 17 metres away, and in poor waterlogged condition. Used our geocaching kit of tools to empty and dry out the container, put saturated log book in a bag. Don't open this one USE THE LITTLE NEW LOG SHEET WHICH WE HAVE PROVIDED. Try not to destroy the little bag it is in, and reseal carefully to keep it dry. Thanks for the cache ShannonPC, but it does need some maintenance.
This was a tough one wasn't anywere near were it said it was, it was about 10 metres away. The log book was soaked and the box had slugs in it.
Wasn't anywhere near the location on GPS, about 15 meters away. log book was soaked and had slugs on it. It was a bit overgrown hiding in the grass.
Cache found with water in it.
Log book soaking wet.
Cache right on boundary of private property and reserve - should be moved to other side of cleared area towards the water. if placed there finders will not venture onto private property. There is no fence to delineate where the private property starts.

Great walk to a contested area.
Found after a search. Cache had water in it and the log book is soppy wet, but still managed to sign with a pencil.
Maintenance required and it should be moved to the lower side of the track onto the public reserve.

Rubbish. Hint of no use. Past posts say co-od’s are wrong. Got scratched to bits for nothing.
Not at the listed coordinates. Definitely harder than 1.5. Hint not overly helpful. Recent activity helped.
Needs maintenance, there's water inside and the log is drenched.

Found today with sgk3lly.
Logbook has been a little damp and mouldy, but is drying out.
Cache was empty apart from log book, but we added a swap.

our phone Gps was all over the place so we ended up just searching blindly around the area and soon come up with the cache. Everything in excellent dry condition
We may or may not have inadvertently driven onto private property to get this one.
By torch light it took longer than it should have to find.

A quick find when I got there due to it being out I the middle off the grass.
Replaced it with a bit of a hide.
In good condition.

Wow this was an easy find after the last one! We hid it a bit better than we found it so it doesn’t get muggled. TFTC.
on 8 June this year after grabbing a few hides about this area i overlooked this one so back i came to it today to go grabski.
After near on being mobbed by Geese and Ducks for food which i had none to speak of ha ha i made my way up to this hide.
A quick find and sign (with nice views over the bay and of the mountain on a still day with glassy waters) at 12:19 on Monday 14 June 2021. The Public holiday meant for ever so "slightly quieter" traffic conditions... LOL, wait till late in the day when all those that got away for the Long Weekend come back [:o] I'm glad to call it a day early [^]

While caching in the area we found your cache along the way.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

I followed driving instructions much to my amusement. Found a suitable place to park above and headed down to gz.
Must say I wonder why gz was as open as it is. This would certainly be fun for an owner to keep a weather eye on things. Grinning at the thought I happily signed and replaced the cache though.

Well this wasn't uncomfortable at all, drove in park and found the cache and got out OMG
I am back to weekly caching now and apart from long walks almost back to normal, one thing that hasn't changed it my late logs, sorry about that.
Thanks for the cache.

We approached this cache from above, perhaps not the right way and we did feel like we had intruded but we were quick. As we walked down I pointed and said it will be there. No GPS required, it was there!
Thanks ShannonPC
Thanks ShannonPC
Found with Mazzalinc101, her third find. Good day, great walk and fantastic location. Thanks for the hide.
Out with the family exploring caches around Austin's Ferry and Claremont today. Took the wrong way initially, then nearly fell in the Derwent before finding the right track. At GZ, felt like we were being watched but we luckily made a quick find. TFTC
Found on a cycle trip around Claremont, breeze coming up now and cooling off. Great views and company. TNLNSL
A welcome walk from the limit of the geo-cycle access, it was good to get a few minutes our of the saddle! We found another treasure on the way and are attempting to contact the owner of a lost mobile phone!
When we arrived in the car park, very many ducks and geese came towards us - guess they thought that we had food. We located the track and after a short walk, we got to GZ. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks ShannonPC for the cache and for bringing us to this pleasant location.
Out and about while the weather was looking good. We decided to venture this way to grab a few caches that have been published since our last visit to the area.
Not sure if we went the correct way for this one as we felt we were around private land. Male membsec stayed with the car while Lady membsec searched for the cache. Hint: don't read the hint! Eventually found the beast.
