An easy find, although I had to stand around a bit as lots of muggles passed before I could hide it again. Log close to completely full and rubber seal on cache starting to degrade; might enjoy some TLC. TFTC!

Urgently needs a new lid (or ideally a new container). Hiding place has something quite gross in it, suggest not putting it back in quite the same place (also: be careful about putting your hands in there…)

Lovely place, but after the recent rain, I’m glad I wasn’t driving here! Some colleagues and I from a voluntary organisation are having a couple of “away days” in a house up the road, so I thought I’d spend my lunch break coming out and finding this cache. Glad I did! TFTC.

Been meaning to find this one for ages! Finally found the time this lunch break. Log very full, needs replacement. TFTC!

Congratulations to mbtkz on FTF (haven’t seen your logs on the other four yet, but I assume that you wanted to get this one onto the site promptly so that other knew you’d made it!). Well done!

Thanks, Sapphirites (and congratulations on the FTF!): I’ve updated the puzzle sheet so that it recommends ensuring that the “fit to page” box is not ticked, and I’ll send you a message containing the number that you should have seen when you visited this cache. Happy hunting!

The following log was originally posted elsewhere:
After my visit the other day, I went home, read some of the logs, and thought about this cache. Boards? Boards are something that people worry about when they’re not Batman. A cache that’s placed in the middle of dead space? That’s not a problem Batman would have. I can be Batman, sure. I AM BATMAN!
So today, I finished work, changed into a set of loose clothing (that I could comfortably climb in and wouldn’t mind having to swim in if I had to), rallied my coworker and fellow ‘cacher kateevery to act as my eyes-on-land – and my photographer – and set out to the bridge.
The boards on the side I opted to start my expedition from were a little more-troublesome – stretching farther out over the water – than the one I’d taken on before, but that hardly mattered: today, I was Batman. A grab and a leap, and I was on the other side. Next came the tough bit – the crossing: no Bat-Belt; no Batarang… but I still had my pure Batmanosity. Leaping up and bracing myself against the beams, I began shuffling across. Just as I began to tire, kateevery – my very own Robin – called out, “just four more steps”, exactly the motivation I needed to complete my crossing and grab the cache.
Totally great location. Totally Batman expedition. Totally adding this cache to my favourites.
EDIT: I’ve now written a blog post about the experience – http://www.scatmania.org/2014/05/18/batman-geocaching/

Never knew this place existed! Nice wall, and a nice easy find. Baggie torn and log slightly damp. TFTC!

Added “KIPLING”, a travel bug, to this cache.

Ha! I agree – the boards are irrelevant!
I got within a few metres of the cache through some creative climbing, but couldn’t get close enough to reach it. I’m pretty sure that I could manage it with some ropes and a belayer, but I’m not as young as I used to be and I think I’ll instead attempt this cache in the way that the owner intended. Nice location: I look forward to logging it someday!

I cycle right by here virtually every day, but every time I think to look this way it’s late afternoon and the muggles are out in force. Today, though, I left for work a little earlier than normal and so managed to get here before the place was crawling with them. Lid of the cache was very tight, but got there in the end. TFTC!

Found while (optimistically) looking at what it would take to log the nearby non-virtual cache GC13WZQ (I’m now convinced that the “correct” way to log that one is the only one). Amazing to see the remains of such a spectacular old swing bridge: I took a nice photo but I can’t share it here because to do so would answer one of the challenge questions! TFT(V)C!

Wonderful cache in what is also one of my favourite of Oxford’s parks. I spent a long time counting the kangaroos before I was sure I’d got it right!

Found while our for a walk with fleeblewidget and her baby. No pen, so took a photo of the cache in my hand. TFTC!
