Found by Team Bennett

My first contour cache. Been wanting to see this engineering marvel for years. Worth the wait tftc

Loving this

Thanks for the nice find

Easy find. Log is almost full. Placed logs in a zip lock bag and added a few sheets of paper. So this cache should be good for awhile. Great day for walk up in the hills. I think this is my fav bushland so far. So peaceful up here. TFTC

Making our way through your series, we arrived at this one to make a nice quick find. We added our names to your log book and returned your cache back to where it lives. TFTC Allied Pranksters Crew.

A good walk up here and I enjoyed to peace and quiet and the bush. A quick find for us. TYFTC APC.

Easy, welcomed easy one, were headN home, which is walkN distance but were pooped TFTC

Good one to find in a beautiful location. Fairly easy access off the track. TFTC

Beautiful walk. Thanks for placing.

Could use a new log soon.

A group of young lads walking with beers crossed me on the other side of the channel here having a great time, waited for the to wander off after our chat before I jumped up. TFTC!

Nude75cruiser and myself came back to sign the log from a couple of weeks ago when we forgot our pen. TFTC

Nudecruiser75 and I forgot out pen, so didn't get to sign the log! Will have to come again to sign the log.

Great hide, thanks

Only half of our team today!
A nice afternoon walk with my Son... I forgot how hilly this part of Kelmscott is, especially climbing part of the pipeline, it gets steep!!

Last find before the darkness and mozzies set in, and we still had to clamber back down the hill. Thanks for the adventure!

Tftc ^^

Top of the world, hi mum!

Out caching with Lazarus_68 for the afternoon. We started on the C=C=C series and a few other in the area. I managed to take a few photos of the wild flowers along the way. The cache was found OK but the lid was not secured when we found it. The contents were all good. Secured the container lid before replacing.

Out caching in the hills with hhheddy. TFTC!

Another find with 21 teenagers charging ahead yelling each moment how far away??? They really got into the caching and again the track is perfect and the best fun was had. Wild flowers galore and a clear path for all. Gets the heart up but must be done!!! Thanks Steve for maintaining this beautiful caching trail!!!! And to the original hidders you know I love the pipes

Geokid loved this one

Good hide

Found this one right near home on a lovely day's adventuring with KellyAwwesome. My first cache in this series and i can't wait to see what the rest has in store for us. TFTC

Easy find, beautiful views TFTC

Late log. A quick duck off the path and this one was found without difficulty. TFTC Allied Pranksters Crew and Barnzy12.

A fun day with BBRD climbing the pipeline hill near my new home in the city!
Saw a fantastic sunset and did some poi spinning before trekking back down in the dark.
My first find for this series, TFTC!

Quick find TFTH

We have't been caching for a few weeks and with the weather so nice we decided to get out and make a start on this series. As the weather is warming up (finally) we will have to retreat out of the bush and restrict caching to urban areas over the summer. Nice quick find. Last one for us this morning as geo-dog is getting tired, so decided to head back and pick a few others not in this series on the way out SL TFTC and bringing us to the area. A very different view of the city than we are used too.

Tftc

Found AP 204 C=C=C 04. Cache is dry and healthy. TNLN SL TFTH Barnzy12.

Thanks for the hide!

tra logging coz fra is exhausted from his big day out with KrabiBoy and bigTcup while i was working and I also believed this was beyond my capabilities lol. Great day was had with 16kms and 20,000 steps clocked up. Thanks to all involved in placing and maintaining this series. Apologies for the c & p log.

22nd find of the day here. Short walk up the correct path for quick find.

Our caching adventure (team Krabiboy, fratra and me) completing the C=C=C series with a few side caches. TFTC

I've been wanting to do this series for a long time, and after seeing some photos on the facebook page, decided to make it happen.

I teamed up with fratra and bigTcup to come and grab our smilies. We parked three cars along the way to make things easier and set off from #23.

fratra made the short walk from the track to this one.

TFTC Barnzy12.

Barnzy12, I found your cache AP 204 C=C=C 04 on 18/04/2016 at 10:00 AM.
This is my find #2499 and find #22 today.

SpatialRiq, Jinta29 and I made plans to tackle this series before the rumors we had heard came true that it maybe archived (1 year later logging them it turned out not to happen as they have been adopted out)

I don’t know what I was really expecting but it was not the extreme variety of terrain and how long the day was from start to finish.

Walking the pipe covered all results, from completely clear and low to the ground to so high up a fall may hurt or at least put you on the ground with no way back up, overgrown drains that saw us on our knees crawling (well me anyway) to walking on the edge of steep slopes as the bush was too thick to push through.

Verdict: Freaking amazing! What a blast !

Forgive the generic log, I have since lost any trail notes that I did take as it is now just under a year ago (359 days) since I had the adventure.

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

After a bit of talk about this series on Facebook a couple of weeks ago AlliedOz, SpatialRiq and I hatched a plan to head off and grab these smileys We grabbed all of the active caches in the series and a couple of others nearby . A great day out and I can thoroughly recommend it as a WA must do series. A 7.5 hour epic that will have us bragging for some time to come!

Barnzy12 - jinta29 found your cache AP 204 C=C=C 04 on 8/04/2016, 6:25 PM. This is my find #5146 and find #20 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Have you logged your WILL ATTEND for WA GOES BIG in 2016[?]
I have and am looking forward to seeing lots of other cachers in Pinjarra on the WA Day long weekend.
Log your will attend at GC5YAGP!

Organised to tackle this series a few weeks back with Jinta29 and AlliedOz, so with much excitement we met up around 7:30am and got underway.

Did #23 to #1 plus several nearby caches, then after lunch headed South picking up a couple in Roleystone then did the remaining #29 to #40.

Great weather, great company and truly a great series that has it all. Stunning views, some challenging terrain and we learn a bit of history. Yet another part of Perth that, if it weren't for geocaching, I would have never know about or seen.

24th First find of the day. Ended up with 52 finds all up. TFTC.

AP 204 C=C=C 04 was transferred from Allied Pranksters to user Barnzy12

I was keen to head out to the C=C=C series this weekend and try to knock them all off. After finding #1 and 2 a few months back I decided to tackle the rest in sections. I parked the car at the gate on Turner Rd, and walked up to start at #6 and work my way back to #3.

This one took a little bit of searching, but I got there! Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters!

Hi there Allied Pranksters - We found AP 204 C=C=C 04 today - our find # 3657. I have been waiting for a cooler day to come this way and today was forecast for 30 degrees, so I decided to come and play. The cache was found quickly and the container and log are both in good condition. SL. Thanks to Allied Pranksters for the cache.

Nice

A nice walk along the path here birds still singing tftc

TFHTC

The dog and the family loved the walk to find some in this series. A great way to spend a couple of hours.

Crazy place to bring the dog for a walk and I wouldn't have done it if there were not a few caches to find. Glad I came though.

TFTC! Out with Numbers Man to complete a small stretch of the CCC series. Weather was perfect for this morning section which we completed in two hours with a total of 7 finds and 5 DNFs. Thanks AP

Thanks AP and Keego and Chill for combined having the idea to put a cache here. Its such a pretty place! I headed up the hill from Darling Range Regional Park looking for Cache number 3. I was knackered peddling or at least trying to after that but the view was amazing!

Thanks for the cache, and off down the hill for some fun and a breather.

A lovely morning for a walk in the hills. I did a couple of this series last year and am back to grab a few more. Another quick find in the obvious spot after following the geotrail.
TFTC Allied Pranksters

Good cache tftc

Doing a few now and agin Fave each day ez find t4tc The channel has got water in it after the rain. Bring rubber shoes or use the side track

We decided to stick to the side track for the next couple, and it was me who found this one in an obvious spot. Not far to go now ... TFTC AP

This trip had been on the radar for some time.
Ooh-Yeh and and I had a false start a few months ago when the weather was against us. Now there was Jasenjanine, Ooh-Yeh, and myself set to make the journey.
The weather was "PERFECT" , and I mean ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. No rain for a couple of days. The meant for dry scrub, and dry pipe. And a pefect strike rate for our finds today
We headed off at 7.20 in the morning, and started at number 40.
Many yarns and stories shared along the way with only one minor spill on the pipe.
A fantsastic day out which I strongly reccomend to all.
We were fortunate enough to have the CO drop us at the start, and run us between the middle section. Thanks so much for this.
A quick find again, only a few to go.

Thanks for a fantastic series Allied Pranksters,

Kyzabra and I had made a plan last September 2013 to tackle this series and at that time the heavens had opened up and dumped its load so it was then into recon mode to scope out how to tackle this one and grab a few close ones while waiting for the rain to stop .
We then spoke to the CO who kindly offered to pick us up drop us of at the given points just needed our dates to line up .
Well today was our day and the team was put together Kyzabra , Jasenjanine and myself armed with all the necessary requirements for a full day out the weather was at its best not a cloud in the sky. We arrived at the CO house early who kindly dropped us off at the starting point and collect us at the next point which was great as there is no real parking close by.
The views are incredible with the day being so perfect which made up for all the prickle bushes ,scratches and sore limbs that was accrued though out the day
We walked on top of the pipe and in the col-vent the whole way, only one slip on the pipe by Jase whilst trying to grab something on his way down was a blackberry bush all I can say was OUCH but alas no injury .
Many stories were told as we made away along the pipe and the caches were come up very quick just needed the time to find them some were quick a couple had us scratching our heads as three GPS's would not settle and giving out mixed readings but in the end all were found log signed and maintenance completed .
Thanks for the series AP

Nice easy one! With a few roos and a hoard of magpies! Thanks

Quick easy find, and good coords. Thanks.

So I thought that today would be the perfect day to tackle the C=C=C 01-23 series of caches with fine weather forecast. But this day had everything - completely clear skies, full sun and then dark clouds followed by torrential showers! But I didn't think that rain was forecast? This was a great adventure. I saw scores of kangaroos, a gazillion biting ants, many beautiful butterflies, one dugite snake, one bobtail lizard and one freshly dead dog. The bush is super thick right now making it very hard to trek along some parts. Miraculously, I managed to find 23 out of 23 of this series that I attempted! Looking forward to returning to Roleystone to continue the journey soon. TFTC Allied Pranksters

Been thinking about doing the C-C-C series for a while and thought it would be good to do it with dad (froggy1948) since he had worked on this channel back in his hey day.

We parked near #1 and headed towards Canning Mills road collecting the caches as we went for our first section. It was a nice clear cool day and the views of the city at the start are great. Flowers are out in full at this time of year. Got some nice stories from dad about the channel as we went too. Found dad's first evidence of work on the channel near cache #6 (didn't find that cache today tho!). Forgot to take a pic of it too, so will be back to find #6 and take a photo We made it to Canning Mills road 2.5 hours later with cache #13 in hand and glad to finish that section of the trek.

With a little bit of energy left in us we thought we can do another section and take advantage of a cool day. We drove to Contour Rd and headed towards Canning Mills again. Boy did this second section take some work. When AP mentioned "If you like thick bush, steep hills, balancing on a pipe, great views, ... , ants that attack if you stand still" then this is the bit he was talking about. Cache 23 to 20 is very hilly, Between Cache 20 and 16 we were covered in ants. and many times you have to fight the over grown prickly bush trying to stick to some kind of path. By the time we got to #14 near Canning Mills we were stuffed.

Thouroughly enjoyed today's outing and looking forward to the next lot closer to Canning Dam. A great effort AP for putting these caches out.

TFTHs

a good one

An easy finding.
Kookaburras have just started calling each other.
The Australian bush is always a nice walk.

Still on this series, getting a wet a**e at the moment as I wasn't planning to do any caching this afternoon and it IS July!! Found the Sistema and signed the log. Time to dry the specs and move on.

Quick find on a great day for caching in the bush

[:(!] After picking up the geocar that had been in for a service so I had the afternoon free to do some caching, parked the geocar as close as possible to 3M30A (AP 206 C=C=C 06) and walked in from there, on arrived at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

Out for a day of caching with Chwiliwr and decided to do some more of this series. Started here and made a quick find.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.

One of the 24 caches we found today whilst walking the c =c= c trail between Contour Road and Mills Road.

Thanks for the caches and a chance to wander down memory lane - this was my childhood playground in the 1960's and 70's

Quick find here when I spotted something blue right where my GPSr indicated that the cache would be. SL. TNLN. TFTH Allied Pranksters.

TFTC:)

Did 10km of my 12km jog. [:(!] Found the cache exactly where the GPS said it would be, but struggled, big time, at 06. Managed to jar my ankle going for 02. But had a great time getting the ones I did. [^] A bit hot to start with, but eventually cooled down after I left 06. Wife picked me up for the last 2km, as the ankle was not good. [B)]. Thanks Allied Pranksters, I will get 06 at a later date.

The pipe was hot today Jumping on and off the pipe for the finds was a test, but TFTC.

Finally had a chance to tackle the first leg of this series today after looking at it longingly for months but being unwilling to go by myself. I'm in awe of the work which must have gone into creating this series. I brought along two geo-newbies, they signed the logs in preparation for registering tonight.

I'm pretty sure it was this point when I said "pipe? what pipe?". Of course then we found said pipe and had our first pipe walk. Being a hot day the pipe was hot also which made getting on and then off to look for the caches along the way was an adventure in itself. The terrain alongside the pipe was easy but the grass looked perfect for snakes so we decided to stay well clear of them.

TFTS AP

Out to finish the pipe series with SPN WRC today.
Couldn't ask for better weather today after the disaster of the other week.
Good chance today to sit back and appreciated the engineering marvel of this pipe.
No problems finding the remaining caches.
Thanks again to Allied Pranksters for bringing us to this little unknown piece of history..
TFTC

Out on a mission to finish the pipe line hike with AndrewSWRT. Much better weather today, and a much easier route than last weeks trip. No problems finding the remaining caches. Thanks for a great series put together.

TFTC

Teamed up with Mr ILuvTrekking and Mr Richlink for another geocaching day. Mrs ILuvTrekking and Mrs Richlink dropped us off at the beginning of the series. The view from the hills were fantastic and we had prefect whether to conquer this series- not too hot and plenty of challenges along the way. Some of the floral was starting to bloom and we enjoyed the colours of the flowers.

I had a few spills and falls along the way that had me breathless at times and a few war wounds to share with others.

I throughly enjoyed myself! Thank you Mr. Richlink and MR. ILuvTrekking for this another great Geo caching day and thank you Allied Prankster for the great series.

Mrs iluvtrekking and I transported our two men and Mr Jacobscrew to the starting point of the series at 0830. We had arranged to meet them after they completed #23 to join them for lunch and to top up their water and snack supplies for the remainder of the trek. The series started off easily enough for the first half dozen caches then gradually the terrain increased in difficulty requiring the negotiating of the pipeline itself, while clambering over trees that had fallen across the pipeline and the concrete supports.
At #19 while two of the cachers were at ground level they came in contact with a very nervous dugite, with the third cacher scrambling out of its way by climbing the nearest tree! Back on the pipeline the guys had thoughts of boots with magnets in the soles coming in handy and wondering if these were going to be the next addtion to the caching gear. Well the magnetic boots would have come in handy to save Mr Jacobscew losing his footing and slipping from the pipeline at #22. iluvtrekking and richlink watched aghast and expected the worst but were relieved to see him land on his back with his backpack as protection, between two large rocks instead of splayed across them. After getting his breathe back, shaking off the bruised hip and wrenched ankle, it was back to the rest of the series. After replenishing their reserves with a well earned lunch break the three were determined to continue the series and knocked back our offer of a ride to #24. Although they thought they were past the worst of the terrain they were to later realise there was much more in store for them. A very pleasant surprise was picking up a joint FTF at #33 which gave them the incentive to surge onward to complete the final 7 caches in the series. Not one DNF!!
The guys did a fabulous job of completing all 40 caches in extreme terrain within 9 hours and they have no doubt it was their combined team work that got them through.
Thanks Allied Pranksters for another excellent series, apologies for the repeated log. Now, what have you got for them next?!!

Mr iluvtrekking joined forces with Mr richlink and Mr JacobsCrew to conquer this wonderful series. It was not without incident and excitement but they completed the entire series without a DNF or serious injury, although Mr JacobsCrew may take issue with that. Thanks Allied Prankters, a great series, the men will be talking about this day for a long time to come.

Out today with the Geoson and introducing two friends to Geocaching. Loved this series and recommend doing the walk. Just make sure you have good shoes, long strides, and plenty of water.... Watch the ants in a few spots, they attack in the millions... We started from Mills Rd East and headed to Roleystone, The last part was the hardest with the legs starting to slow up a bit..... Thanks very much for the series, great to enjoy a bit of history...

Another quick find, with the nice friendly terrain continuing. Only one left now, but the GPS is saying 'batteries low'! Hope they hold out for just this last one!
Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters.

Out and about with trevkevred on a beautiful sunday morning to find some ccc's and some birds. And another easy find hmmmmm

Out with Me&B on a lovely Sunday morning. The co-ords had changed but I think the original ones would have been closer for me. Still it was a nice quick find. THTH Allied Pranksters.

Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 05.932 E 116° 01.720

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 05.929 E 116° 01.723

Distance from original: 23.9 feet or 7.3 meters.

Updated co-ords...

Out and about with Keego hunting C=C=C and Birds. Not wishing to jump in at the deep end I started with the easier ones I hope. Followed the track alongside the contour channel from 01 to 05 and made deviation to grab the caches. From 05 to 06 it was downhill in a big way but there was a nice big pipe to walk on. Took little steps as the morning dew was still on the pipe and we did not want to take a swan dive into the rocks and bush. After finding 06 and with no more time available we started back up the pipe to the track.

Most enjoyable morning walk we Keego in our beautiful Darling Range.

Thanks Allied Pranksters Crew.

Lovely walk. TFTC.

Bindel_ texted me last night asking if I was interested in doing some of this series 23 to 1. We picked some others up along the way. We were dropped off with bindel_'s car waiting for us at the other end.

Arrived at this ad bindel_ just kept walking. Lol never mind I found it anyway logging us both a very quick find!

Thanks for an awesome series

Needed some fresh air and sunshine and wanted to get my heart rate up a bit - this looked like the perfect series! Blob was keen to be my companion for the day. 23 to 1 was all I was keen to tackle in my current condition. We dropped my car at the Mills Rd truck arrester bed and my brother kindly gave us a lift to Contour Rd.

No more pipes! (I did really love them, but they were so tiring, very glad we only started at 23!) Blob found this one quickly as I carried on the path towards the car.

We decided to do one more for the day, and then head back for the car, great series thanks

A difficult find. We were just about to give up like our fellow cachers this morning, but then went back for one last look. It's not near the trees with the bark stripped off them.

Spent a fair bit of time looking for this one and were just about to give up anyway when the mobile phone rang. It was our son looking for a lift home from work as he was sick, so end of Geocaching for us today!!

We were really enjoying this series, (might need a clue with this one though), so hopefully will get back to it really soon!!

Thanks Allied Pranksters!!!

“Thick bush, steep hills, balancing on a pipe, great views, getting wet and cold, ants that attack” - with a sales pitch like this how could I resist attempting this series. It would be too easy to drive and attack it in sections so I decided I would attempt to do the whole series on foot in one day. I dropped a car at the arrester bed on Mills Rd then got my better half to drop me off at the end of the series at Canning Dam. I set off at around 9:30am and a few minutes later had the first cache in hand, not only that it had a nice blank logbook. My run of FTF’s continued until C=C=C 36 when AusTrackers came to the cache from the other direction. Always nice to meet other cachers and put a face to a name. They found the cache but graciously shared the FTF honours. They warned me that the going from this point on was more difficult and off I went. Met Chwiliwr not long after and after a brief greeting carried on. Soon afterwards I made a small diversion (small in distance not in effort!) to pick up the cache Jurassic Jaunt. When I got to Croyden Rd I wasn’t sure if I’d still be able to follow the channel/pipe due to private property so decided to follow the road to the next cache. A bit of a dull slog and then I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get to #27 without a big circuit walk. Thankfully when I was only a couple of hundred metres from the cache one of the residents were working in their front yard so I got permission to cut across their property to access the cache. I had planned to follow the pipe from here but the veg was too thick so I cut back down to Croyden Rd (and lost my sunnies in the process!). the three caches west of the Brookton Hwy went well but then again I wasn’t sure if I could get through so backtracked to the Brookton Hwy and followed the roads before picking up the channel again at #23. The next section was my favourite for the day (even the hill up to what I think was #21). All went well until the final few caches when I had a couple of DNF’s – a bit disappointing as I had hoped to complete the series. Found the final cache at 4:30pm on the dot. A good series (apart from the Croyden Rd bit). Most coords good or if not caches were in obvious spots for the most part. Certainly an enjoyable walk.

After the fruitless search a couple of caches back I wasn't in the right frame of mind for this cache. Probably didn't give it enough time but a DNF all the same.

Came down with KB to attempt series from #27 to #1.....drove up to #27, then did 26 to 24 walked back to car, then drove to contour rd to walk rest of the series.
As we pulled up to GZ we could see a 4wheel drive on side of road and by the time we walked up to GZ we met up with James of jacaro44.....had a chat, found cache and decided to join up for rest of trek
The next section from #23 to #13 was definitely my favourite....the memory of turning around to see KB and James trudging up the pipe behind me is one that will stay with me for a long time.
KB and I were a bit tentative on pipes at first, but soon realised it was the most efficient way to move and by the time we finished we were bounding along like mountain goats.
Thanks Allied Pranksters this is what caching is about.... adventure, exercise and good company (and lots of smileys)....and a heartfelt thank you to the better looking half of jacaro44 for giving us a lift back to KB's car.

In the warmth and comfort of my office last night, we noticed this seies of caches for the first time. Despite the COs' warnings of above average terrain issues, it was clear that as water runs down hill that it would be the smart direction to travel while knocking over these caches.
The intrepid group of MDV, JB and Jacaro44 continued moving from #27 towards #1 Great weather, good company, and caches that are not "playing hard to get"
TFTC Allied Pranksters

I respect your right to choose your difficulty ratings and was impressed with your fair representation and excellent description of what was required for this series. Whether we were just tired from many hours of geocaching or whether this cache proved trickier than you imagined, it was higher than a difficulty 2 cache for us today. On the borderline of calling it quits, Mickeydv found the cache in a place we were sure we'd all looked! Now, where did that cache appear from? Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters.

So far - so good !!

Heading to #4 and am reaching the brow of my first hill and my first view of
the dreaded "PIPE" !!!

A short diversion off the track to make a Q and E find.

Suprised to see a blank log in this one? So a *FTF* at 10am.

TFTC.
