If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Whent to find this today but found GZ was now under construction.

Did not find this one but think the work in progress may have foiled us. A concrete culvert has been installed to replace the previous wooden bridge (which was awaiting removal from the site).
A great hint meant I found this in the first place I looked. Luckily it was not a bumper flow today. Clear skies.
Found this one though co-ords were a bit out. Thought we had written it down wrong and went to look for another one. On way back checked again and there it was! SL TNLN TFTC
Found, Cache was lying on the ground, returned to on top of one of the horizontal support beams. not enough time to locate the chain as people were approaching
The cache was not had to find seeing as it was just lying on the ground. SL and returned the cache back to its origonal spot.
TFTC nice hide when i found it it was laying on the ground maby because some repairs were made to the bridge a few days eariler

Reperio at 1520. Parked nearby and wandered over to the apparent GZ, but since the coords don't point to anywhere in particular, I wandered over to the most logical hiding spot and found the cache there with no problems.
Nice walking trail.

Managed to get my hands on this one after a drawn out battle with the Trolls, luckily I had the elvish army to back me up while I retrieved the prize,

No problems. My time spent imitating a troll was much shorter this time around.Thanks for replacing it.
The coords are 18m out but if you follow the clue you'll soon have the cache in hand. TFTC
Found it on second visit as coordinates initially left in the middle of the grassy bit. Needed to follow the clue and it all made sense.
My gps led me to a nearby field, but the "think like a troll"
brought me to the right spot and it was easy to find.
Nice spot!

Finally found it!!!!
Have looked for this one many time (whilst it was missing).
Whilst walking the Geodog (who love the leach free area nearby) late on a Sunday afternoon, no muggles around, so I took another quick look. BINGO!
Thank you to the Cash Man for replacing.

My GPS indicated it was about 19 meters off, so I re calibrated the compass, still no better. The cache was found where I expected it to be.
Less muggles about today had to wait for a guy and his dog to move on
then quickly found and signed log TFTC

I have had this on my watch list for some time and grabed it as soon as a new container was placed before it goes missing again

Called in to check the cache and it is long gone. I have left a replacement container for future finders.
Found chain but no cache.
Accidently squeezed a redback spider because I thought it might have been a nano....don't know who got the bigger shock - me or the redback!

we think we found the chain but no cache which was a bummer cause we were so looking forward to finding it. would have been our third find of a day. hope it is replaced soon
Have now made 3 visits over the last 3 months and have found the chain but no cache.
Dropped by today and found the chain even gave it a tug but there is no cache in sight.
Found the chain.... but there was nothing attatched Uh oh! Picture sent to cache owner.
Sorry SteelRat, with the park awash with water, we didn't want to tempt fate with too much searching where we thought it would be, blubb, blubb....although we did try....
Found this one after sailing on lake. Like a Troll we found the hint useful as the co-ordinates were out by about 17m. Watch out for muggles in this area with dog walkers, skateboarders, are everywhere here. TFTC.

Found this after going in the wrong side first. Got to GZ and it was exposed, but that wasn't the problem, I could not get the log out it was wedged in tighter than The Cash Man's wallet. I had to remove the back page to allow it to get back in. Thanks for taking me to the spot SteelRat.

Coords a bit out but found with the help of the clue. I am sure I looked rad gnarly to the nearby skateboarders, battling trolls. But I managed to retrieve the cache.
Forget the idea of a troll! I felt more like Monty Python having to answer three questions to pass (Holy Grail).
A really nice part of the world and a lovely walk with the dog.

Great hide! Took me more time to put the log back than it did to get it out. Quick find on a stinker in January.
As far as knowing web sites I'm lucky to log into this one.
But I enjoy the hunt.

A short walk from the car park through the quiet park had us at GZ. Cache located and log signed.

After the car event up the road we parked in the back parking area to keep a low profile.

This is a great idea for a cache - but I wish the websites could be listed on here rather than in the logbook as we didn't have anything to write them down on and we were having to be quick to complete the log before any muggles came along. We found the cache quite easily and soon had it in hand. The log is still quite damp and is starting to fall apart due to the damp. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this cache
good hiding place
someone found it today as well, they left the pen cap on the bridge!

Found quickly as the mst likely spot turned out to be the right location. The paper was jammed in the container so pliers were needed to remove the pen and then the log. There is also some minor water damage starting to occur to the log. A smaller log and a bag may be needed at some point in the future. TFTC SteelRat. [C287]
My GPS was way off so it took a while to find without having the tips. It is quite a nice area, we came in from a different location to where you suggested. It is quite moist and there was no log book except a bit of paper. I'd suggest if anyone goes there they take a Zip bag and a book/paper.
The clue was more helpful than the coordinates which were a bit off, but that seems to have been the case all day. Probably something to do with the hot weather.
Had problems extracting the log from the container, it may have got wet and swollened.

While in the area, we went after this cache. Geodaughter with the eagle eyes got there first. Neo geocousins were a close second. TFTC and left requested website information.
Although I guess tradition says don't log a find unless you've signed the log.....we found the cache but couldn't get the log out!! Those huge log sheets are jammed in tight. I know it probably wasn't so tight when they were put in there, but with swelling and everyone using fancy stickers nowadays, those logsheets are too fat now. Nice park though and I can see why the troll choose there to exact his frustrating toll.
Mousewiz and I walked on over to this cache with Pesky who saw it first from the far side. This had to be a tag team effort in getting the log out. Quickly had it sewn up and back to the event. TFTC
walked to this one from the event - should have put our geoscouting website in the log but scoutboy signed for me (so maybe he did...)

Didn't actually find the cache, however I needed somewhere near to the GC1ZAX7 Event to leave a Travelbug, and with everything neaerby being Micros, here was as good as any...
Found last night with dodgy123, tricky one to get out, packed in rather tight, needed tweezers to get out.
Good hide, found it just then on my second attempt... co ords were out a little, first attempt had me thinking it was in a small pocket of bush nearby.
Was unable to extract the log to sign it for lack of tools. Will go back some time with tweezers and sign the log.
edit: went back tonight with tools and was able to extract and sign the log

Found that GZ was actually in an open grassed area about 20m from where I thought the cache would be. Anyhow, after a bit of searching using the clues we found the cache. Most time was spent extracting and returning the log without wrecking it. TN, LN of course, but thanks to the SteelRat for a good hide.
A quick find just in time to be late for lunch! The things we do. Sometimes non-geo-family just don't see the need!? TFTC
We were on our way to lunch when Wing6Rider suggested we try this one first. As usual the cache find took preference and we were late for lunch. Nice hide.

Found this one today, the hardest bit was negotiating our way to the cache due to the waterlogged ground. There is no way this one will get washed away.
Thanks SteelRat for the cache.

Found with Eynowd, Gabbadabbadoo, and Xtumech during a trip to Newcastle. Kids made the find with us pointing in the right direction.
Had a wonderful time afterwards wandering through the park reading the educational signs.

This was our first night cache and doesn't that make a bit of difference without daylight. Dropped young Tamykian and friends off at ice skating and off we went. GPS and torch in hand (fully armed) and we were not leaving until we found this one, as I had a few DNF in daylight hours today. We did have a positive outcome and signed log and returned it back to its hide.

A relatively quick find after visiting my ailing grandfather in Belmont Hospital.
Luckily we had Gabbadabbadoo with us, who retrieved and replaced the cache for us.

What a great idea for a cache. I copied down a number of web sites that looked interesting and left my favourite site. I hope others enjoy the cache and web site as much as I did
I love the location of your cache. I have found several of these and they are always awesome.
So many people walk past them and so many people are unaware!!!

rained yesterday which meant for less muggles.
but this also meant that there was water. finally got a good rock ledge to look. i couldnt see anything, went to stand up and bumped my head on it. TFTC

TNLN. Sorry only read requirements for website when got to cache so weren't prepared!!
Our first find. A good place to start. Busy cache, three people had been there yesterday.
Rated: for Overall Experience
Found this cache on our first day of caching - possibly could do with a bigger container. Big fat troll fingers may have trouble getting pen and log out and back in.
I'm starting to think I'm hot s#*t at this geocaching caper: I didn't read all the logs, nor looked at the photos (till after), nor take my gps 'cause "I've been here millions of times, I know where the bridge is!"
Proceeded to the wrong bridge, had to take the stroll to an area I had not been to before (lovely spot) and discovered a NEW bridge! Go figure!
Thanks for the effort setting the cache up.

Found it! This was a fairly quick find. No Muggles passing by for a few minutes allowed me to have a good look around and there it was. I like it when I find a cache that someone has put a bit of effort into. Well done. As for my FYI, try www.vixy.net It allows you to rip youtube videos to AVI files.

A pleasant if not quick walk to GZ from the nearby highway after the GPS had somehow been fooled by a nearby channel where I originally tried to access the cache. Nice spot here though it was a little damp in here today. Thanks for the cache
Found it OK had to wait for a few dogs to walk their masters. I believe the Scots have a saying "You canna sit on a thistle" well you cant lean on it with your hand either as I found out.
We were up in the area on other unrelated business but we just couldn’t let this chance to go caching pass us by. Not having all of the details with us, being totally unprepared, we first pulled up by the waters edge and were unable to get to GZ. After reassessing the situation we headed back out onto the main road and parked near the skatepark where we should nave gone in the first place. TomTom navigation devices don’t always get it right, as we just found out.
From our new location the cache was quickly in hand and we had a really fun time discovering our errors.
Thanks for the pleasant diversion to our trip SteelRat.
