Picnic at the Pat Glenelg North, South Australia, Australia
By Team Ransid on 17-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1XCED

This cache has gone missing.

Couldn't find this one. Lovely spot though.

TFTC

Can not find looked high and low nothing to be found

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Nothing doing!

Looked for 15mins ..no joy. Nice spot by the Pat though

Tried my best but could not find may have been out of my reach, muggles may have been watching from the house opposite so i aborted my mission

This one beat us. Will try again

I "found" this cache a few years ago, by that I mean I spotted it, but being a bit below average height and on my own, could not retrieve it. Today I returned with my much taller daughter but the cache spot was bare and despite a bit of a search we left empty handed. Reading logs it seems that the original cache has been replaced by a nano which is not what I was looking for!! Another day maybe.

What a good spot, took some thinking but finally the penny dropped. TFTC

Took the clue the wrong way,was a hard thing to find, eventually sat and thought, then found it.

Found the ultra small nano with help of geokid #2 and wrote in the log....but is this the real cache? TFTC

Looked for a while in the dark but couldn't find used a torch in all the grooves and holes saw heaps of spiders and webs but no cache

Had a reasonably good look with no luck.

Found yesterday but forgot to log. Shakey loves to find these ones. Was a glorious day on the path. TFTC

Searched high and low and reached into all the corners, but no find for ThePacGirl and I. TFTH.

A quick find - whilst watching the skies - for passing showers.

With a spare 24 hours in Adelaide I grabbed a hire car and went caching. What else was I to do!

Sadly I did not find this cache. It may well be there, I only allowed myself a short search in order to keep moving.

Next time!

Tftc.the spiders were bigger

Found nano last for the night luck had brave geo friends to retrieve as I don't like spiders

2489. A quick grab while in Adelaide from Canberra visiting some relatives. After dropping the girls off at Harbour Town, I found myself with some caching time. This one made the list and I grabbed it between showers. I think it took me longer to retrieve and replace to log than it did to find it.. TFTC.

Found a cache but is it the cache!??

WHADDA WE WANT?? BURN NANOS!! WHEN DO WANNIT?? NOW!!
WHADDA WE WANT?? BURN NANOS!! WHEN DO WANNIT?? NOW!!

TFTC T_Ransid.

Muggle partner had to go to Warradale for what ended up being quite a few hours, so what better way for me to fill in time while wiating than to grab a few caches
While I stopped at 24, I only found 20 but still a great day locus caching on a very wet, blustery day!
My apologies today but I was not in my caching car as a result of a last minute decision to go with muggle partner, so I had no logs or containers to be able to do any maintenance

Pretty sure this isn't the original cache as there was only one other log in the logbook however I did find a cache here and SL so am claiming a smiley
I water skied in here, about 36 years ago when the milk carton regatta was still being held.

TNLN. SL. TFTC team ransid

Although I checked fairly thoroughly, could not find. I put in place a temp nano in an easy to get location, as befits a D/T 1.5 cache.

CO if you really must put it high increase difficulty to match, and be sure it can be reached by virtually any average height adult ~176 Cm.

If cache is still there remove my nano, and contact me so I can change my found to DNF.

Found it ... sort off. I checked here and there and was unable to find it. If it is there it is beyond the reach of the average height person.

So I put in a temp easy to get too cache. Nano, just sit and relax and you will soon have it.

Will make a maint post as well, so CO is notified and he/she can come check.

Like the last person I think the cache might be missing

Arrived to see 2 others looking around and I assumed they weren't muggles.

With three pairs of eyes looking this one still went unfound - even with one sitting on the others shoulders.

Could the CO please confirm that this one is still there

After feeling around in the dark and getting nowhere got the torch out and spied it instantly. thx Team Ransid for the hide.

Lovely strolling around Glenelg to-day picking up a few caches. An easy find, though a shorter person may have had a bit of a struggle!! Thanks team ransid

Yep a bit of a stretch

Found a few days ago on a run of 14 geocaches. Great spot. TFTC.

#3948. The picnic place was quiet today. Nicely located close by a bus stop, from where we got the ride to continue our journey of exploration. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Joey and Mama-lips had enjoyed Sunday caching ... we have never walked around the Pat before and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Had to hang out at this spot for a long time waiting for muggle family to move ... kids were ready to go but not mum and dad ...
While we waited Joey had fun looking at shells and tried skimming stones...
Muggles finally went and we moved in quickly and had cache in hand.
A beautiful spot, thankyou.

We came we found and we sheltered from the rain

Turns out I was looking in the right place, just the wrong corner! Tftc

After a DNF a long time ago we finally got back to the spot and made a quick find in the dark

Thanks for the cache Team Ransid

Stepped out tonight to do a few caches with Darknstormy thanks team ransid

Found in the first place I looked. Thanks!

Sneaky, took me a little while, TFTC!

Quick find. TFTC

#626

5th of 12 finds between 23/01/2013 and 26/01/2013 on a trip to Adelaide to see family and some of the 2013 Santos Tour Down Under.

I found this cache at 15:01 on a TDU-watching free day on which I explored Adelaide's beaches. I started with Henley Beach, I then went to Glenelg before finishing the day with a visit to West Beach.

Greetings from Brisbane, QLD

Mr Tardis parked near GZ and his GPSr wasn't being very co-operative and was crashing when it was turned on. Never matter, I used the force and found the cache hiding in the second place I looked.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Team Ransid.

found at 1220hrs after a short search (No GPS required for this one) utilising one of our new tools to retrieve it. Really nice day after spending the morning at the beach. TNLNSL TFTC

Had to wait for the nearby workers to move away, then went in and made a quick find. TFTC!

What a stunning location! I'm a visitor to Adelaide and if it was not for GC I would never have come here! Wow. TFTC

A quick grab and go on the way to Glenelg, nice place for a BBQ

TFTC,
Cheers and Happy Hunting,
Southern Cross Caching

Heading to Glenelg and parked a few metres away fom this one to check out where we were going.
Realised there was a cache a stones throw away and went and got it.

Found it

We took a set of steps to this one as we could see it last time but way out of reach. This time we didn't need them, someone has sensibly put it a little lower, still a little stretch, but achieveable. Thanx

First one I ever found!

easy find. nice park. tftc.

Nice quick find with Schnail. My height was advantageous for this one! TFTC

1st for year

Nice quick find. Helps to have someone tall to retrieve. Happy new year!

This brings back memories of sailing on the Stinky pat, then being sick for a week after. Nice smart hide

We've headed towards this cache 3 times over 3 days! Today was the 1st time though that we could attempt it! Finally a moment without picnic food and muggles! Easily spotted cache.

Dropped in today while staying up the road at Adelaide Shores. Previously from Adelaide (now Townsville) I had attempted this one over a year ago but too many muffles. Today the place was empty and the prize was found in no time.

Cheers and happy caching.

For a spot of night caching... is a good one. SL. Tftc

a quick find with mj1355. sl. tftc

Easy find.. Enjoyed the tall genes that run in my family ! Happy hunting team TFTC

I had no problem retreiving the container, I just had to use the available things.

Found on our road- and airtrip through Australia from Darwin to Adeladie and further on to Brisbane and Gladstone.
We had to introduce some lokals in the macig world of geocaching, before we were able to log this one.
Thanks for the cache from Sweden.

Found It!
No one around today so it was an easy find!
TFTC

"You may need to stretch" is an understatement. I returned to the car and found a long handled window washer and that did the trick. Logged my visit and returned it the same way. TFTC

Thank goodness I had ordered some caching tools before my trip to SA. Made all the difference between a “found but could not retrieve” and a “find and log”.

The cache is much too high (wonder if it has been moved higher than it is supposed to...) so there was no way to retrieve it until 3 jolly gentlemen arrived to drink their cold beer at the end of the day in this very nice spot. I asked them if they knew about geocaching, they didn't so I explained the basic and asked the tallest one if he could tiptoe and grab the cache. There was much laughter, they offered me a beer but I said no thank you, I am already late for dinner. They wished me luck in my research and I left them to enjoy their evening. Great meeting them!

Couldn't retrieve the cache to sign the log, will return with Inspector Gadget! Lovely setting, model yachts were racing on the Pat.

Quick find on the way home from skatepark

I would have to grow a few feet taller to reach this one. Took pic of Cache and will email to cache owner.

Nice effort, well made cache!

Nice place for having a picnic, when temperatures are higher than now! Thx for the nice cache, found 2gether with Konk_KE.
Greetings from 2 germans!

Nice find on a windy day in winter. Stretching was no problem and muggel traffic was very low. Tftc

Worked out how to get to it and had a stretch. Had to take a detour along the walking path as the council was repairing a portion of it. Good hide SL TNLN Thanks for the hide!!!

Could see it but no stretch would be able to get it. Muggle in car staring at us. Wouldn't leave. So another time. Thanx

Found this one but I'll need help to retrieve it. I'll be back.

Nice quick find and sign.

Gotta lay some bricks to increase my height... Easy find TFTC!!

TFTC

Tftc, nice area, bridge glowing nicely

Number four find!! Easy cache ^_^

This one was spotted easily, but retrieving it was a bit of a different matter. Eventually the taller of the two of us managed it. TFTC

Tall person needed: )

:p

Quick find in the dark

Quick find with Uncle Hagrid

26 finds and 3 DNFs in what turned out to be a great caching day with Tassieboy.

Left a calling card.

TFTC

I had tried to find this one in the past when the cache wasn't there, great that it has finally been replaced.

A quick easy find this time.

Thanks for the cache ransid

Had to wait a while for a old lady and her 2 dogs looking through the rubbish bins for cans and bottles to recycle. Other than that it was a nice easy find. TFTC SL

Thanks for the cache. Nice hiding spot.

Found it. My very first find. Only started this yesterday with my partner and daughter, so much fun. TFTC - had to look up what that meant haha. Thank you!

A quick find in a calm spot along the Pat. Thanks team ransid.

Ive been here looking for this none before and it wasnt there- today it was and i found it .tftc team rancid.

Another quick find while night caching with SXP TFTC, TMJ

Quick find by TMJ. Good hide.

This cache has now been replaced - happy hunting

We will attempt to put a new container in place soon.

Definitely not here!
