Hi halez1993,
The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.
If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Needed to turn a frown upsidedown today. There also needs to be a new difficulty level for pre and post distillery tour, especially this kind
Thank you for the cache!
Thank you for the cache!
Found number 4 Very nice spot. Took a few tree searches but we got the right one eventually. A leg up helped. TFTC - JTZ
Some quotes from yesterdays adventure;
"You are not a monkey" - Daughter
"Old people should not climb trees" - Grand-daughter
"You are 15 yrs too old to climb trees" - Daughter
Followed logs from previous finders YOF's GPS spot on, Nature provides step up etc.
All looked good, step up, hold branch, reach for cache ............
Branch broke, backside and belly weight angled away from tree, rest of body followed all the way to the ground.
All good, sort of, nothing broken except the branch.
Nothing bruised except pride.
My family thank you halez1993 for the laughs, I am sure they will be there with cameras next time.
I SHALL RETURN

I SHALL RETURN
Today our plan was to do the caches close to the inner part of town, I really don't feel we achieved this but we did find all of the caches that we attempted.
I looked at the distance that was needed to walk to complete this series and was unsure if I could manage it, but I headed off with hubby with the intention that he would continue on and I would return to the car if needed. According to the map there really was no choice, I had reached the point of no return when I decided that I would like to return to the car.
The trail was very easy walking which was fantastic, there was plenty to help keep me occupied with the bird life and the scenery. Cache #4 was an issue with us being unable to locate it with the listed co-ords, we read back on previous logs and found a set of co-ords posted by another cacher, these worked a treat. We could have done without the bats as they flew overhead as we disturbed them. Thankfully the cache that was in their sleeping area was found quickly.
With no #3 we resorted to a PAF to help us out here. Perhaps this number could be placed in the hints to help people out as the bonus cache cannot be completed without it.

Had to look at previous comments to find it. The map is a little off. But found it eventually!
TFTC. Found after reading others comments. Thanks for the 'step up' nature as we weren't quite tall enough.
Coordinates a bit off but with a quick consult to the comments we found it. Good clue from the comments, “nature gave us a step”.
Found with Tiamet and my wife.
After swamp walk 1 and 2 this was the most logical next cache based on the walking tracks so we headed towards the GZ.
The mosquitos were abundant during our visit and we spent a bit of time searching for the cache but had to refer to previous visit logs which gave us a nudge in the right direction and we soon had the cache in hand.

Took a while. Reading previous logs helped. youngoldfella, who was FTF listed some alternate coordinates which may help.

Found after reading some logs! Coords a tiny bit off as mentioned. Very fun hide.
Map was slightly off but found it with the clue "nature gave us a step". Near the seat.
(FTF) at 1205hours today. My GPSr indicated S24 51.876 E152 22.098.
Follow your and if you are on grass and not at a tree try mine.
This one was in plain sight when I approached it and can be seen as you walk towards the host tree from the path. I have placed it around the back of the branch facing the water but still in the same spot. You can not reach it from the ground unless you are over 2200cm. Nature has provided a step up for us. Thanks for adopting these 6. TFTC halez1993
