The Bonza Aussie Scav Hunt Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By Cached on 06-Apr-05. Waypoint GA0122

I have been drawing this picture for many years and decided to have it created as a pathtag for a Christmas Club. There is nothing more Aussie Christmas than at the beach with Surfboard and ESKY full of food and drink while relaxing

Then the next Scavenger Hunt if we are keeping with Christmas theme might be where solely Christmas Shop which is seasonal

Thanks for the Locationless Cached

2.50pm
I found an Elf off a shelf getting up to cheeky business in a shop in downtown Lismore. There's one each side of this mall in fact. As for the next quest...

There's a few backpackers in our local BlazeAid camp at present and they've been asking about Australian Christmas traditions, so I'm keeping with the Christmas theme, seeing as it's that time of year, BUT ALSO in theme with this cache title the next scavenger hunt item is

A photo of you or your GPS with something Christmasy that is uniquely and very Australian. No plate of prawns or BBQ shot without it being obviously part of a Christmas celebration. Maybe it's a white boomer (the kangaroo variety), or a Santa on a surfboard.

I hope you all have (or did have) a great festive season.

This was an intriguing scavenger hunt, I had to hunt hi and low to come up with an imposter
Or is it Father Christmas here in disguise, please don’t tell anyone we found him, he is working undercover.

The next one for someone to hunt for is one of the Elves that come out to help Santa, I’m sure there will be plenty out there soon
Thanks for a great idea

Found on a Geocaching mission in Melbourne but cannot post the name or the code for this one as it was part of a mystery cache.
The numbers are taller than me though.

I forgot to post the next one to hunt for, and was reminded whilst I was at a Christmas outing where we were being entertained by an impersonator, El-mis Presley. This gave me the idea for the next challenge - to have your photo taken with an impersonator. These days there seem to be more impersonators than actual original artists. The difficulty will be getting them to pose a picture with you. So to prove it is t too hard a challenge I will add my photo as an inventive.

I... I think I have this one... I am not very car minded but this looked like an old land rover so I took a pic and am claiming. Although if it's not series one I will happily retract my claim. It's been so long since this was found though so want to keep it moving again.

Assuming there is no objections to my find the next item to hunt down is a larger than man number. Can be any form of physical number that is taller than a average man. A large street address number. Maybe in a business or industrial area. A sculpture of a number. Just any really large number that is tall. Can be any number.

Good luck all

#GA1233 - 21:45; Spotted this FJ parked in Gibraltar Street, Bungendore while I was on a recent visit. Unfortunately the owner wasn't anywhere in sight, so I couldn't get any details of the provenance, other than the number plate which suggests it is a 1956 model.

Keeping with the motoring theme, 2016 saw the last Land Rover Defender roll off the assembly line. Growing up on a farm, I learned to drive in an old Land Rover, so the next hunt requires the finder to locate a Land Rover Series 1 and get a photograph with themselves and/or their GPSr with said vehicle.

Land Rover entered production in 1948 with what was later termed the Series I. This was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show. It was originally designed for farm and light industrial use, and had a steel box-section chassis, and an aluminum body. Originally the Land Rover was a single model offering, which from 1948 until 1951 used an 80-inch (2,000 mm) wheelbase and a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp (37 kW; 51 PS).

In 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had built were still in use, so finding an old one shouldn't be such a big issue

Cate Campbell - World Champion swimmer.

Last weekend we were lucky to bump into Cate Campbell - World Champion in the 100m freestyle at the 2013 Barcelona World Championships - who was in town (Gatton) for the opening of the new local swimming pool.

Some of her other achievements are:
Was part of the gold medal winning 4x100m freestyle relay team at the London Olympic Games.

With her younger sister Bronte, they were the first Australian siblings to qualify for the same swimming event at an Olympic Games in 2012.

Made her Olympic debut at the age of 16 in 2008.

She very obligingly posed for a photo with us. A truly delightful young lady.

Next challenge - photo of cacher &/or GPS and FJ Holden.

Well done sharnie's tribe

Found one of the two Old Coach Roads in Tassie, this one in the south of the state. No coaches in evidence today though!

Next challenge - a photo of a cacher with GPS and a world champion. The world champion can be real or a statue.

Congratulations geono. on your find.....great shot too

Wahooooooooo!!!! It's only taken 47 weeks but we've finally found a boxing kangaroo flag...not the green and gold one that we were looking for but a boxing kangaroo nonetheless. Found at the Golden Guitar, Tamworth NSW.

NEXT CHALLENGE: Find an "Old Coach Road"....and if there's an old coach in it, well done, but not necessary for the challenge.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Ten out of ten wilco for effort and ingenuity As this has been so long in the logging we reckon you should get a smiley for this and then set the next challenge. Hope the CO agrees

Close: A boxing kangaroo holding an Australian flag...

OK folks...the next challenge is to find a 'Boxing Kangaroo' flag flying on a flag pole or mast. Please upload a photo of your find and include the co-ords of where it was taken.

No photos downloaded from the internet please.....just use a picture of a flag you have discovered when you are out and about.
Good luck everyone!

Geohubby and I are very proud to be able to log this cache now that we have been introduced to GCA locationless caches.

Our daughter and her fiance are heavily committed as volunteer firefighters to the Country Fire Service here in SA. Our daughter joined the Morphett Vale Brigade as a cadet in 1995 and has held the position of 2nd lieutenant in the brigade for a few years now. Her fiance joined in 1992 and is currently captain of the brigade which involves many hours of meetings and administration every week as well as attending call outs 24 hours per day. They both have full time and unrelated careers as well.

Morphett Vale is one of the busiest brigades in the state. When it first evolved in 1944 it was basically a rural brigade but as the city of Adelaide has expanded and the suburbs extended it is now more urban than rural. They attend structure fires, wildfires....many of them in a local national Park (with very steep gorges) and many car accidents as well as the usual (and prolific) malicious arson attacks such as rubbish bin fires and brush fence fires.

They are both very dedicated volunteers and have made a point of ensuring that Morphett Vale brigade is very well trained in all the techniques required to assist the public where required. This training involves using breathing apparatus in hazardous areas, using the 'jaws of life' equipment sometimes needed to extricate accident victims from their vehicles, maintenance of their appliances and equipment and many other tasks they are often required to perform. It is not unusual to attend 2or 3 incidents throughout the night (particularly during weekends and school holidays) and each time any of the three appliances return to the station they have to be cleaned and resupplied before the next call out. Not too much fun at 03.00 hours...and even worse on very cold nights.

The brigade members are often seconded to fires across the country...Sydney (too many times for our unlucky eastern population) Port Lincoln, Kangaroo Island, Canberra etc. etc.

Morphett Vale Brigade is only one of hundreds of volunteer fire brigades throughout the country so many thanks 'Cached' for recognising the effort that these amazing peole put in.

An outstanding locationless

We will give some thought to the next challenge and log it very shortly.

Not one, but two (little) birds sitting on a lamp pole.....

Spotted them as I was walking along a pathway in the Tuggeranong Town Park here in Canberra....even in the heat that we have today.

Next photo.....as a bit of recognition for our volunteer fire fighters, a photo of a volunteer in uniform. No, NOT actually fighting a fire, just in uniform before going off to a job, or next to their fire appliance or even just at his / her depot.

The person can be yourself, your partner or just someone you know who volunteers to give up their time to help others....... If you can add a short story of their experience, that would good as well.

Lets see how we go....

Thanks for this locationless.......

Rated: for Overall Experience

Okay we have that one for a while with no takers so feel free to change it to get things moving.

A very blustery place at the bottom of New Zealand.
next challenge is to take a photo of a bird on a parking meter or lamp post.

Another 'croc' story on the front of the NT News taken outside Wagait Beach Shop/PO

Next challenge should be an easy one - take a photo of yourself and your gps with a sign that has at least ten different destinations that can be seen in the photo! Happy Hunting

A quick start to the day. Straight to the penny jar. Thanks Old Saint

The next challenge is to get a photo of a cacher holder a newspaper where there is an animal story on the front page-preferably the lead story. The photo needs to show the name of the newspaper along with the animal story,your gps and be taken outside a shop.
Have fun

Hi Cached
Took some effort to get the photo of the Huonville Bridge with me, GPS and photo of the bridge way back when all in one shot and as close to the old photo as I could.
The angle of the bridge today was changed from that of the original wooden bridges at Huonville. It now runs straight into Main Rd.
However, in my photo you still see Sleeping Beauty in the background, the Pub etc.
This was as close to the original spot as I could get. Otherwise, due to the changes in the road, one would now be risking life and limb to do so. Still think I'm pretty close though!
Next Challenge:
I was born in 1950, so a pictures of an Australian Penny, made in 1950 - both front and back, is real Australian and will make for a true scavenger hunt.
TFTC and cheers

Oops, got sidetracked, and forgot about setting a new challenge - so......
A photo of a photo - sortof.
In line with the recent trend to take a photo showing a hand holding an old picture of the same scene as the photo, a pic like that but with your GPS in the shot as well as the photo.
the sample attached is not a good example, but shows what I mean, without a gps - I guess you will need the gps in the smae hand unless you have a 2nd person "handy" to take the pic.

Too hard/easy??

Congratulations steptoe on achieveing the palindrome challenge. Like all the coincidinces.

I was really hoping to find this last week on the 21st (ie 21612) but did not have any luck locating a qualifying number plate. However yesterday I was happily working away in Gymea, when I spotted this number plate "ooXXoo" on a car that had been park 15M away most of the morning (only at an angle to me so I did not see the plate till I was moving about).

To make it even more suitable, the Easting on this worked out to be 151-5-151 and the southing minutes were 1.991 (go figure!).
So, yes, there is at least one palindromic plate out there - now for an idea for the next hunt.......

Rated: for Overall Experience

Next Challenge: a vehicle number plate which is a palindrome

The characters in the number plate may be digits, letters or a combination but the string of characters must be a true palindrome.

A photograph of the number plate is the essential requirement for logging a find, GPS in the photo is optional. If it is difficult to get precise coordinates (eg photo taken whilst moving), then a description of the location and approximate coordinates would suffice.

In days gone, a palindrome number plate may have been very difficult to find but today when personalised number plates are more common, the task should be achieveable.

Whilst caching in Toowoomba we came across a 36 blade windmill near the Cobb & Co Museum. There are a number of windmills in the area but this "big fela" dominates.

Great idea - I have spotted quite a few magnificent 36 blade windmills on our recent travels in the NT and across the Barclay ... Can't post a photo for a few days so will log then if no one gets in before me!

Ok, as requested, just an idea to get it moving.....

Find and photograph a windmill. Not a simple 12, 18 or 24 blade windmill, but one of the BIG ones.....i.e. a windmill with 36 blades.

I've chased some windmills in my time caching, and the 36 blade ones are out there, but not as often as the smaller ones.

You asked for ideas, so this is just that.....and no, I haven't got a photo of one ready to go.

I am opening this up to anyone who can think of a good challenge as this has not been found for quite some time so get the thinking hats on and set a new challenge.

Here is another in case that wasn't a good one. It is in NZ. From the photo you can get Small and Big-GA1239, Signs-GA1041 and GC184B7 is hidden there.

There are 3 caches in this photo-They are The Jockey(GC1jwc8), Small and Big (GA1239), And they're off and racing(GA3410).This is at Darwin Racecourse. A good challenge.
The next challenge is also a three in one. You need to log a photo showing a person fishing from a jetty, pier or wharf. There also needs to be a boat and a plane in the picture.Happy hunting

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice one!

These are the initial coordinates for GC2MN96 - Curse of the Three Gnomes, a puzzle cache I have not yet found, although I did find GA1989 - StiGnome, along with his accursed friends!

Here's the streetview and the geotagged Trigg-A-Nomics view of the cache of moveable caches, which also happens to be the next challenge - you have to photograph a "cache of caches" - three or more caches. It could be three GCA moveables together, two GCA moveables at a GC event or even an earthcache plus a traditional plus a GCA virtual!

New challenge - a photo at a geocache location, and the matching google street view of the same place (2 pics)

Ie. You have to find (or refind) a geocache that you can get a street view image of the final location, and post a screen grab of the street view, and essentially the same image of your own.

Would you believe my GPS is my pocket...

(Nah, didin't think so)

OK then, pretty easy one this.

A photo of a cacher, cuddling a Bundy Bear, and holding their GPS.

Alternatively a photo of a cacher beside an oversize Bundaberg Rum bottle, again with theor GPS in hand. There are a couple around the countryside.

Cheers
Bundy

Dazza

I cant really, as its against the rules. It just was an absolute fluke that I had the pic. Hopefully this exchange will spur another cacher on to log a find. Unless the cache owner permits a bit of rule bending.

Cheers
Bundy

Dosn't seem to be a lot happening here. Hey Bundy I'm happy for you to change your log to a find and set a new challenge and get this one moving again.

Lol, Too easy, unfortunately, ruled out for a couple of reasons, no GPS, and there isnt enough finds between now and my last find. Anyhow, I will post it up, My youngest daughter, now caching under her own account as Vamppirate, taken about a month ago at Warwick, while waiting for Kmart to open.

This one has been on my to do list way too long, finally all the planets aligned and I had a sign, a camera, my GPSr and the time to stop and take the photo. this one is located in the township of Paluma in sunny North Queensland, well Paluma isn't that sunny as it's in a rain forest. Thanks for the cache, Cached. Now for the next challenge, how about an adult cacher riding one those coin operated kiddies rides you see in the shopping centres, with GPSr in hand of course. Extra points if you post a video on utube. Good luck.

ANYONE

Ok 2 months is too long, no height restriction, any height above sea level will do.

Surely someone can find a sign!!

Oops sorry bundy missed your note.

A nice easy one for some.

A photo with your gps included standing out the front of a sign that says.

XXX above sea level.

The only catch is the sign must be less than 100 metres.

Good luck

Thats fine by me Themd. Over to you.

Ok there I was early morning walk on the Pier at Lorne and right before my eyes they appeared.

Lorne is a small coastal town in Victoria about 100 km's SW of Melbourne.

Not to uncommon on an overcast morning to see Crepuscular rays in this location.

Try to capture the best I could with the iphone, but as always they look a little further away.

Let me know if you are happy with these Bundy and I'll let devise a scavenge in the mean time.

Rated: for Overall Experience

AS promoised, you can put this one to bed. The bronze statue of a Dingo, at Dingo, on the Capricorn Highway, between Rockhampton and Emerald, in Central Queensland. I pass by it each time I head to or from work. Today, it was back to work. I also have a GC.com cache here, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=f7b87c3e-2683-4dcc-828b-e83964249319 The other cache I mentioned, with multiple examples of animal sculpture, was Wookoo Dragon, west of Maryborough in Queensland. Very recently archived, the park has many animal sculptures, including a stainless steel echidna.

Now for the next task, some Crepuscular Rays please, of course with your GPS in the foreground.

Cheers
Bundy

Foiled! I thought I was in with a chance before work but image uploads aren't available on android.

Interesting next task. A just archived GC cache in Qld would fit the bill nicely, with probably 20 such items in a very small area. But this task isnt going to last long, tomorrow at the latest, a couple of minutes at the earliest.

And does a 40000 year old domesticated animal pass as native?

And yes, where I am thinking of, and passing by tomorrow, is a full bronze statue.

Cheers

Bundy

These kinds of Shopping Trollys make me sad, but they looked like they were having fun swimming in this creek near Parramatta! Why do people feel the need to dump them in water ways? So hard to get out There were two near each other, GPS is only in one shot

NEXT QUEST!

You must locate a statue of a Native Australian animal! No domestic pets, no horses etc. Bronze or Sandstone would be awesome and preferably a whole animal, not just a bust

Good Luck!

Have the laundry trolley - next challenge? Need to add coordinates to the log though.

is it too late for a find on the laundry trolley?
this is still in use - only 2 wheels left, in my own back yard.
(added co-ords - approx only as it is the home yard)

However, keeping the trolley theme, maybe a shopping trolley in the wrong place (as suggested above) but doing more than just sitting in the wrong spot - there are heaps of them around like that and a locationless to match. Maybe you've seen one full of flowers in someone's front garden, or hanging halfway up a wall? Should be plenty of options for everyone that way, without being too easy (hey, I passed a couple dumped on the way to work yesterday on the side of the road, but they were empty and simply sitting there - although they were pre-stacked together so they could be puched away in one hit).
What do ya think - can you find one that's a bit interesting like that?

Rated: for Overall Experience

Any chance of a new quest guys? The trolly is proving nasty to find?

I hoped no one would do this before I got a chance. Taking up the challenge from Team Wibble, today I proceeded to the Coomera Travel Centre and here is a photo of Ronald draped with pretty scarves and holding my GPSr. Please note that the frog on his right hand is wearing a striped headband too. No one even asked me what I was doing.So great fun and an easy find he he. Now for the next challenge, here it is:

Find an old laundry trolley, preferably one used for pot plants or in a garden.

Okay, its not the frilliest of skirts but its the pinkest and frilliest we could find. Goes nicely with the black pants and winstopper polar fleecy jacket, doesn't it?

Next challenge is to find and photograph a Ronald McDonald Statue wearing a scarf.

Rated: for Overall Experience

A trip to the op shop yielded a pink frilly skirt today. We should have a cacher in front of a fountain wearing it holding a GPS soon.

Will this do for the previous challenge? If so, our new challenge is an adult cacher wearing a pink frilly skirt standing in front of a fountain holding their GPS.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Time for somebody to jump in and set a new challenge - although the last wasn't that hard!

Finally, i've been waiting a while for this one, we recently went to Darwin for their fireworks night and thought that i might get the old GPS and camera out for a find. The location of the photo was on Casurina Beach, Darwin on a night where fireworks were going off left right and centre! A wonderful night of fireworks and Mr and Mrs GeoPlesk even got engaged! So all good all round.



The next challenge will be for a cacher to get photographed with their head in (or close enough to) an animals mouth. Probably a statue of a lion would be advised but go for the real thing if your game! Good luck

Had just completed a cache find at Bullocks Flat in the Snowy Mountains and decided it also featured an appropriate rock for this log.

Next challenge: Posing with fairy wings, wand and GPS.

Nice easy first one for me to do considering I have a minor fishing obsession also.

I recently saw Priscilla so the next challenge is - a photo of a cacher and GPS, on a rock, in a frock holding a clock.

Hope this fits the bill! Had to borrow a golf club and gnome, but had the garden and the geokid!
Next challenge - matmob would like to see a geocacher holding a real fish and a GPS, standing in front of some water, and wearing a furry hat.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Couldn't let this one go without a find, especially as we have a scooter and there is a fixed speed camera just round the corner.

Next challenge: a geocacher, a gps, a golf club and a gnome (Geognome??) in a garden

Still NO takers??
Shall I give it until 10/10/07 to change the mission?
What's the prize for a DNF on this one Cached?

Next mission -

A photo of a cacher taking a photo of a speed camera (either fixed or mobile) [Cached did say to be creative!] while riding on a kids non-motorised scooter and holding a GPS.

Bonza alright mate, just a bit hard to hold 3 things & eat & keep that sun out, but managed to make good use of a cap & sunnies so I didn't need 4 hands.

An Aussie scavenger hunt is it then? The next challenge, a photo of a cacher, holding their GPS, while eating a meat pie with sauce, drinking a famous AUSSIE beverage while shading their eyes from the sun.
Can't get more aussie than that.

Time to get this one rolling again. Miss Biggo of Team Biggo on the far left here, pictured with some guy in a suit.

Your next task...
A cacher, GPS, a famous (real life) Australian & a uniform. The uniform can be on you or the famous Aussie. The famous person should be easily recognisable to the average cacher.

When I saw this cache earlier today I was convinced that it was going to be dead easy for me to get the requisite photo. There are kangaroos galore all around where I live, and they are even coming into our front yard at night to eat the remains of our lawn during the drought (see inset of photo for proof of their visits!). Anyway, I set out this evening full of anticipation, but there was not a roo to be seen. Last night there were dozens around. So I had to go to plan B, and the photographer insisted on including the Boonie Army Hat & Socceroos scarf to to top off my ensemble! Despite the pretty pathetic effort with the kangaroo on the flag, I did include the evidence of real life roos - taken on what is left of my front lawn, so I hope that suffices.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Okay, the next task. Since it's coming up to Australia Day, how about a cacher with an Aussie flag and a kangaroo. Lots of options there

Well I'm not standing on the bridge in the photo, but I walked over it a few times on the way to/from caches in the area.

That's the problem with self-photos

OK, to get the ball rolling again, lets change the requirement to a cacher on a bridge.

Simple, but should get you all back in the game.

The choice was entirely yours.

The next challenge is: a cacher in a tutu, with a GPSr, at a survey marker.

(Didn't think those dancing lessons would come in handy for Geocaching, did you?)

Found by The ELTHAM Mob 24-vi-06 at 20:40hours.
When you said "bat" did you mean;
1.) Bats are flying mammals in the order Chiroptera with forelimbs developed as wings.
or
2.) a club used for hitting a ball in various games?
We went with (1)

A pic of Shifter Brains and a sail boat.

The next challenge is: a cacher, a GPS, a bridge and a bat.

This one was just meant to be. A morning soccer game at Margate for Team Malbena so all we needed was something starting with 'M'. We managed to get all three starting with 'Ma' with a matchbox.

I like the use of the caching name so the next challenge will be to find a water craft whoose name starts with the same letter as your caching name. Post a photo if the craft with yourself and your GPS.

Found it! Sure it's a human powered water craft, she can PUSH it can't she?!

Next challenge (assuming noone wants to challenge my interpretation of the previous challenge...)

Take the first letter of your cacher name.

Find an item starting with that letter.

Find a place starting with that letter.

Get a photo of yourself with that item, at that place. Be sure to include the placename in the background (on a sign or building).
eg zactyl with a zebra at Zetland.

we've got the unpowered boat, but no red nose.
How long til' Red Nose Day?

Hello!!!!

Engergizers challenge still stands - a red nose and an unpowered boat!

Next Challenge.... GPS (of course) A red nose (you know the ones, from red nose day, or a clown nose) & most importantly on A Human powered Water craft (Canoe, Kayak, one of those peddle boat thingo's, whatever, just no motors )

Have fun guys

OK, this one's been left for too long, so today I spots a rainbow... quick, grab the GPS & the camera, oh hang on we need something with the date, don't worry the Navman will show the date... OK turn it on... Bugger, batteries flat, oh well, take a photo anyway, the digital camera shows the date, "Snap" no date... fiddle with tiny buttons on back of camera trying to get it to show the date "Snap" still no date, more fiddle... you get the idea. Anyway, by the time we figured out the date Bizzo, the rainbow had gone, so, you'll have to take my word for it, the date of the photo was today. The Pic was taken from close to home, but the co-ordinates are for Plattacat returns, a cache of mine & the end of the rainbow would be closer to those co-ordinates, so I used them. I couldn't use my home Co-ordinates as the battery was flat in the Navman.. Oh well, hope this pic will do, lets get this cache moving again.

Thanks Cached.

As owner of the cache, I will now list another challenge to replace the previous as it has gone unedited and unfound for too long.

Your challenge is to photograph a rainbow with your GPS in the photograph. No photoshop efforts.

To prove that the photo was taken for this challenge, it must show something to identify the date - eg. the newspaper.

Hi All,

This challenge has gone too long unanswered.

Acts2, can you modify it or post a new one?

Thanks

Perhaps a rocking horse may be easier to obtain for me? Cruelty to toys is part of their lot in life

Anyway, in the meanwhile, those watching should add Eye Spy to their lists perhaps.

Come on people this is not that hard. Go to a local riding club. to make it easier you can do it with out being next to a horses crossing sign.
Do some fast talking and the task will be done.

The rules should be different for partic, seen as how he is such a big bloke, he has to go to a rodeo and get on one of the horses there. LOL

How long before a quest is classed as timed out?

I have tried to time access to a horse, but RSPCA are likely to step in if I throw my weight into a saddle - I ain't no jockey sized midget

Ok the next task is A Geocacher wearing a red clown nose siting on a horse next to a horseÂ’s crossing sign holding a GPS.

A quick trip to mums to pick up her clown wig, then on to the sign. A quick lesson to my 7 year old on taking photos and the task was complete.
This would have been easier if hosted on GC.com as that allows you to post the photo to the logs.
Oh well here is a link for the proof and a good laugh.

The next challenge:

A beware of wildlife crossing sign (the sort with a silhouette of an animal), a GPSr, and a cacher wearing a clown wig - in one photo, of course!

Snuva: 'So boys, who wants to go to the top of the mountain wearing a kilt?'

12-year-old slave: 'Sure, I'll do it!'

[One hour later]

Snuva: 'No, really, just because you've lived here your whole life doesn't mean you'll be seen! Only tourists would come up here.'

12-year-old slave: 'I'M GOING TO DIE IN THE COLD! HOW DO THE SCOTS DO IT - INSANE!'

Snuva: 'Shush - you're drawing attention to yourself; I'll buy a round of hot chocolates if you'll just climb up to that tripod thing. And watch that your skirt doesn't fly up! Other boy - you hold my lead and this GPSr - female slave - take the photo quickly and make sure you ge the tripoint in the shot!'

Mission accomplished! Proof available in the forum at http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?p=31921#31921

I have 3 of the 4 items to hand (or close by), and a request for a lend of the fourth from extended family.

Harder than it looksÂ… I hope the reason no one else has logged this yet is not because like me you canÂ’t get a hippo-sized kilt big enough to go round your ample girth. It would be a sad affair if we were ALL to fat to log a findÂ…

C'Mon - can't be that hard can it?

Your first challenge -

A trig point, a GPS, a cacher and a kilt.

One photo!

Photo can be emailed to me at [email protected] if you can't display it here!
