We have decided to archive this after it went missing in the flood, birds taking it out of the tree for fun (more than once), and now muggles destroying it. OK they win, we give up.
 
20-Aug-11
Had gz and was looking around for quite a while without luck so decided to
leave. Found log sheet under bridge on side of path also found Geochaching note along path. I would guess by this it has been muggled.(have both pieces if you want then back).
 
20-Aug-11
Didn't find the cache, but I did find a couple of swaps by the tree. I was going to suggest that it may have been muggled, and Delving's log just seems to confirm that.
 
04-Aug-11
went for a quick walk with max the geodog and made the find in between showers

geo-hubby located this one after a bit of a search... TFTC!
 
22-May-11
Found where Boonsfind noted after they found cache exposed on the path, and we replaced it the same.

Cache is possibly not located where intended by Klem's Mob, and Boonsfind's log gives its current location away.

Anyone reading this, don't decode Boonsfind's log, as I did inadvertantly and spoilt our hunt, the cache should be easy found within about 5m of GZ co-ords.

25-Apr-11
Starting to get cheesed off with this one! Third visit STILL unlucky!! First time tried without a GPS. Second time with it but no joy... and then today, even with 'phone a friend' assistance we still couldn't find it!! We had quite specific guidance and really scoured the spot so are wondering if it has been muggled? If not, I guess all we can do is try, try again!!
 
24-Apr-11
exploring this town and approaching this from the top, probably not the easiest path, but shortest , a few muggles walking by so had to pick my moment and grab, then a quick sign and replace before I'm up and outta here.. thanks
Looks like a nice walk too.

21-Nov-10
We had planned to do Platform One on our return from rivers End. However when we arrived at GZ there were muggle kids everywhere so we moved on to give this one a go. geoP made the find, again! The log is damp so we left it out in the sun for a little to help it dry but time was against us so we had to move on.

What a great town to walk around, picking up caches on the way.
Loved the river, flowing but back in it's banks.

Just after you have replaced it - its floated away again!
Same thing happened to me further downstream at "Half Zeros"
Good Luck finding and more sercure location.
 
10-Sep-10
Checked on this one today and it definitely looks like it has taken a big swim down the river. Boy the water came up a long way. We have now replaced it.
 
03-Sep-10
Thought I would check on this cache after last nights floods......

It appears to have relocated itself further down the river, just not quite sure where! Sad

Good clue, though it predisposed me to a slightly different spot, so took a while to locate the cache. Put in a bit of effort on the bars while there!

Quick find with CPWanderer. TFTC.
 
08-Aug-10
Pleasant place to visit, Tricky hide put wrong date on though it wasn't the 9th!

I tried one, then the other, fortunately I'm tall.

Thanks Klem's Mob.

[^] Another great hide in Strath. We approached it from the railway line and then I fell down the embankment much to my wifes amusement (damn jedi powers must have been switched off!). THEN she told me where it would be (after I dusted myself off) from up at the bloody railway bridge.

TFTH but your log needs to be fixed.
 
12-Jun-10
spent a while looking for this one, but we had company and it was all a bit hard with a couple of young kids, so we'll get it next time....

Second attempt at this one. The first time I forgot to note the size and was looking for something bigger. This time noted the size and an easy find. Nice walk to the cache. TFTC. TNLNSL
 
22-May-10
GPS took us to a small creek running each side of path.
Eventually realised cache was where we thought as approaching GZ.
Log although dry will need replacing shortly.
Took sister and brother in law along for their first cache hunt.
They are called "The X-Trailers"
TFTC and taking us along this path.

Unable to sign in
After 1 day out we are hooked .
Look out Australia here we come .

The clue gave it away. The container is well camouflaged but the log is falling apart and the pencil is missing, so it is worth taking a writing implement with you at this stage. Tnlnsl. Tftc.

Been through this town plenty of times, but never been down to this spot, would be nice for a picnic

Wasn't where we expected but glad to have the find. Nice place for lunch and stroll along the river. Had the pleasure of judging a Scottish egg decorating competition on our way out. Another unexpected pleasure resulting from caching.
 
24-Mar-10
Took the walk down the track even tryed out the exercise equiptment on the way not as young as i usted to be
 
21-Mar-10
At last we got to find it, after listening to "lard bucket" band play at the park. My eldest son James is the drummer. We had tried to find this one before, but had no luck - we were within a spit of it!!!! We looked all around but somehow missed it!! ha ha SL & L- uk 5p coin TFTC Great hiding place.....PS Becky chalked up this find yet again.i think she has better eyes than us oldies.

06-Mar-10
We searchd for a few seconds when I looked down and had a brainwave. Found with Mossy95. TFTC!
 
06-Mar-10
Took the longest in the dark for the night. Was going to play on the equiptment but thought its a bit dark and must get home. TFTCSL good hide and the council has even helped to make it a harder hide.
 
03-Mar-10
Found today by Mr & Mrs 1SR at 1430on our discover Sa trip. A nice little place to stretch the legs!! A quick find.
TFTC It was very close to the prementioned bottle of bourbon

23-Feb-10
Although the gps kept bringing me back to the same spot I was unable to locate the cache. The place where the gps told me it should be and a good spot for a cache all that was there was an empty bottle of Jack Daniels Bourbon. I wonder if it has been muggled? Enjoyed a pleasant walk in a nice location without any muggles around.
 
31-Jan-10
didn't find this one but we were stopped from looking by a phone call from one of the kids! we did find a stolen computer though!! handed it in to the police.

As a local who walks here often, did a check to see how it was and I think it's been attacked by muggles as it's missing. Disappointing
