This one has had its day. Cache is missing and area looks to be used for other purposes
Very interesting couple of waypoints but unfortunately like others had found the end cache appears to be missing at the GZ
Interesting buildings.Love these multies a lot of fun.Dropped off Speed Racer Retreived Speed Racer.
Made wp1 harder than it needed to be. Enjoyed this cache and wandering around the buildings at wp1 while MrKN played soccer nearby. Very easy parking at all locations. Thanks for the nice multi.
I decided to cycle from home since this area is so busy for stopping.Crikey that wind was strong and cold. Got all the clues correct first up for a change. TFTH TNLN.
Called by on a maintenance check. All is well at WP2 and cache found in position and in good condition.
First cache . Great fun .Thanks a lot
Note that at second waypoint clues need updating - aim is no longer displayed ! and perhaps lamp post should be power pole !!

It was nice to have a stroll around here, I always drive through and never take the time. TFTC Cheers Bevyb
Note to self, "always read the cache page carefully to avoid wandering into private property." A pleasant lady soon advised that the museum was closed. After that I read the page and had no further problems, nice multi. TFTC.
Just passing by - we passed this way twice daily from home to work for a long time! first time we stopped! Cache was open, wet & slightly scattered but as I didn't have the precise hint, I just tidied it up & took note that there were no trackables, which matches inventory so none missing. However, I think I've put cache in a slightly different place. Quite a bit of rubbish ends up there.
A quick multi, not so keen on the final hide during the day time, felt a bit dodgy, cheers.
Finally managed to take time out to stop and find this one after driving past on numerous occasions. A great wee hidey-hole in a busy area.
Picked up High-Five TB

No.2 of 4 caches today, and second attempt at this one. Once again GPS pointed us at area with the right "significant feature" but no cache present. Read hints again and found another "significant feature" only 20 metres away and soon had cache in hand. TNLN. TFTC !
I usually avoid multis if I'm going for a bigger number of caches in a day, but this one was short and quick. Number 2 of 6 and one DNF.
TFTC!

Easy find on a cracker of a day.
Took Wellington Boots TB to keep it on the move (it's been here a month already).

No probs with first 2 waypoints, searched the area around gz thoroughly but no sign of cache. GPS had us at correct location ( verified with the hint ) but no joy. Possibly muggled ?
Nice stroll around Belfast, didn't even know there was a Museum there ! Thanks.

This was a great cache to do today even if it was raining,I had lots of fun doing the clues, and working out the final waypoint, I got there in the end,,I have dropped off a TB #586655 Wellington Boots...cheers and many thanks
Parked the car and walked the whole thing which I am sure was the best option. Had the same experience as Navigull, guy pulling back the curtain and glaring at me as I wrote down the info but I just ignored him and carried on.
Very well chosen final, rather amazing really.

Someone hanging out washing at first waypoint, didn't seem bothered by us writing down info. Cache was a reasonably straightforward find (quite a few muggles driving up and down the drive).
I called in here around 9:00 a.m. I sssume i was supposed to read a sign but the curtains parted and a guy really glared at me so I beat a retreat. I guess it was not the day they welcomed visitors.
916 Ran round this one as I had my "driver" waiting in the car at the petrol station. Easy find. TNLN
I felt decidedly dodgy finding&logging this at night!
+RadioNut's coin. Thanks.

Interesting multi we discovered on our journeys. Didn't end up where we thought we would however still an easy find.
Took the Geocoin
Cheers!

I was heading back south after dropping a couple of team members in Cheviot and had enough time for a few caches. Must admit that after easily finding the WPS I had to resort to the clue to find the cache (I'm going to blame it on being short of time ). Did my bit for CITO. TFTC

Gee it's a busy road on a Saturday morning! Walked up an down and found the cache pretty easily. No exchange made. Cheers Gav [952]
Did this one with Satchimo cat.
Stuffed up the co-ords and had to re-do first two waypoints.
Then beat Satchimo Cat to the cache through trickery and deception - signed the log and returned it before he realised that we'd (MD junior and I) looked in a different spot and done the cache.

1191. That was an interesting wee multi that made us stop and learn about something that we had previously just driven by. Some day we might even get a look into the museum. Thanks for searching out and then setting up another interesting cache.

TGIF for an FTF. Had to use full hint as the GPS was 20m away but no matter. Had to be sneaky due to muggles nearby. Nice one Hello Mrs. + fart bombs, - geocoin
