Geocache Description:

A really short, simple and fun night cache..

Starting where two trails cross you will find yourself in a quiet (sometimes very cold) park at night, its dark here, so ensure that you have a torch that is juiced up, a super bright torch isn't necessary, a servo torch could well get you by for this cache.

The reflectors are not visible from the start point / cross roads here however if you move a very short distance two of them will come into sight.

So..
Flip a coin and head off down any one of the 4 trails.. If you've gone more than 100m and haven't seen them, then return to the start and try a different path.

At your first reflector now?

Can you see another reflector? you need to get yourself in a position where one is behind (or slightly above/below) the other. This imaginary line will extend either side of the pair, however if you are behind the pair there will be a significant distance vertically between the pair. (and the other pair wont be in sight)

Horizontal Alignment is the key, move yourself around until the reflector pair appear as one
As can be seen above the cacher depicted on the left has discovered this place. The cacher on the right below is in the wrong spot, he would see a significant gap between the two reflectors.

If you've done this now walk along a line either towards or away from these two reflectors until when looking over one shoulder or the other you can also line up the other two reflectors in the same manner.

Once you've found a place where all 4 are visible you will notice that there is a sweet spot where you can get 2 of them to line up one above the other vertically, and also have the other pair aligned in the same manner.

x marks the spot

Be careful however as stepping back even one more step from this position will see you crashing into the object which houses the metal GZ's coordinates plate..

Entering these coordinates into your trusty GPS you will discover that your a short walk away from the elusive GZ.

At GZ you will discover a small clip lock container with playing cards, a pencil and some other random bits and pieces which escape the confines of my memory.. Looking under the lid you will also discover a number, Take note of this, it'll be useful in the not too distant future..
Please note in your log if vegetation growth or reflector damage is effecting this cache.
