Spent some time hunting for the cache but couldnt find anything the monsters found a stick on a string but no log

A reasonably quick find here after the event today, and before heading off to another event in Stoke where RG1972 was displaying some of her awesome cake decorating.I just had to wait out a punter with their dog before going in for a look. Nope, that one is a bit too shrubby. That one is a bit too tree-y. So I tried the one in between and there it was.A bit late for the streak promotion this was designed for, and I doubt if I will ever get a streak much over 2 weeks. But that is ok. Happy for the smiley today.TFTC Sidewaze

After inspecting the gz area, I had my eye on 2 candidates that I would place under the category of the hint. A pretty bare one and a much more leafy one. After inspecting both I eventually figured out which one was holding the cache, can you beleaf it!? Tftc for this one!

Could not find but I am a beginner

Didnt find it cause the hint was a bit confusing

Thanks

Found on my second attempt (my first effort was a bit half hearted) but no problem this morning. Thanks Sidewaze!!

we tried to find this one in tha dark to no avail so back today in the rain for a quick find tftc

Found by Sharon. TFTC

yay we found it . Our first ever one. A little hard to find but so fun

Hunted for a while. Bit hard under canopy getting co-ords. Very pleased to have found it! Thanks for a great hide!

My first ever one couldn't find it so I will have to try again later

Short rummage around in the bushes. Turns out we were well off but many lands make light work. Signed logbook. Tiny, this one.

After dropping off some people at the Airport I made my way here to grab an Adlab cache in Isel Park and this one which wasn't far away. Took me a while to spot. TFTC

Yay!

Frisbee golf fun find

I'm up in my old locale for a day or two. After a very pleasant breakfast at the market and some last minute Christmas shopping, I had time to go and find a few caches. A familiar area from one of my own archived caches. A bit of a search around three or four nearby hint objects. Very happy to finally spot the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Found it! Ruben's favorite colour. Look deep within the small shrub

Well camouflaged, but got it.

Had to just look round. TFC.

I spent ages here in the rain searching for this earlier today. But the sun was out now and I had found a few others in this series in the interim and the GPS had me a similar distance away from them all so I decided to stop and have another look on the way back home. Hey presto - spotted it in seconds this time. Now home to try and complete some of the other things on my list. TFTC # 20,469

Gone missing

Out and about today picking up some of the more recently published caches.The GPS wasn't being very cooperative here so it became a matter of just looking and at the right moment from the right angle I spotted it.Thank you Sidewaze.

This cache was attempted some time ago with limited time which resulted in a fail. Today with the kids back to school and plenty of time it didn't take long to track this little guy. We're not streaking these and slowly counting them down. Thank you Sidewaze

Well thats well hidden. No luck this time. Ill be back

Great little hide found by Devin, tftc!

I called by on my way home from town to keep the streak going.
It took a while to spot.

Good camaflarge TFC

Took a bit of searching but approaching from the right side and angle it could be a quick one as the colour stands out.
Thanks Sidewaze for adding so many new caches in the area!

A quick find thankfully on a quiet morning. Another smiley on the map. TFTC Sidewaze

Found pretty quick really good find. Might tweezers to get cache out. Thanks for the cache

With so many branches to check for that little item, it took a wee while, but as we spread out, Andy spotted a glint and soon had cache in hand. Log signed off and replaced where found and another of our list. Time to head up the hill for the next one. tftc

Found by Mrs S on her way home from Saxons - and at the place she had first looked on her first visit when she must have been just at the wrong angle. Today it took longer to sign the log and return it than it took to find the cache. The delights of caching
Thanks.

andy.gail and I split the possibilities into three, but didn't find the little cache until we expanded even beyond that. TFTC.

What a challenge this cache was. It was a team effort.
Checked all the places i could find. In the end, we went to the last place where we didn't check.
Guess what the cache was in our hands in minutes
Thank you for the cache and the fun we had finding this one
(Should have check that area the first time)

Spotted the cache fairly quickly to keep my streak going. TFTC

Tricky find. Tftc

Not on a streak, but this one was close to home so I spent a few fruitless minutes looking in the wrong shrub before widening my search and spotting the cache. TFTC Sidewaze.

It took ages searching just about to give up one last search hay presto found the little bigger.Thanks Sidewaze for placing this cache

Found

Nice find

Spotted it quickly with the light from my torch from the other side of the tree, took a bit longer to find it again when on the right side and even longer to find the lid to reattach the rest of the container after signing. Thanks Sidewaze

Good find in an interesting area.

Published

As GK was snowed off his job he was planning a day at home, he was teasing me that he was going to light the fire and spend the morning having a snooze (as if). So as I was heading out the door on my way to work these new caches were published. So that was the end of GK having a cosy morning as he was out the door like a rat up a drainpipe.
I headed to work hoping to get a phone call to say our {FTF} streak was continuing for another month, and sure enough it does.

GK had made a couple of finds in Richmond and headed to Stoke to sort out some roofing for one of his jobs and as he was passing this area he stopped to see if he could find this one too. He checked out the hint items and once on the right angle he spotted the cache. Then he discovered another blank log book which he added our name to.
Thanks for placing this cache and thank you for the smiley
