I needed 30 cache finds today and tomorrow to hit a certain unofficial Milestone by Friday. For years I have intended to cache my way 'up the Windsor Road'. I decided this afternoon to do as much as I could. All was going well until the rain started, and even though I persevered in it for a while, my innings was called off due to ran. TFTC Morley196

Mr Minion and I wanted to test out our new bikes today, so headed down to do this trail. Sadly, a lot of the caches are in need of some TLC. Thanks for the cache Morley196 tnln replaced as found sl

Quick Park and grab with Billio

Found with brocafkids

The fourth find on a hike from Rouse ill to Vineyard. The cache container is very 'tired' and could do with replacement. The log will need replacing.

Must have missed this couple when I did the power trail before. Good to come check on the route, it’s a major cycle artery, thankyou

Found it - log to follow

Found it! Damn this is some old looking paper! Matchs my brown ink! TFTC - Mr Moocoo

TFTC. A nice quick find after being disappointed I couldn’t do one of the ALabs due to flooding. What a busy road.

Spotted on approach. Luckily the log was dry so we could sign, interesting how the rust from the tin has stained the paper though! Happy International Geocaching Day.

Out for a geocaching trip with the geo-sister (huntale) while down on holidays. Managed half what we wanted to do on the bikes will do the other half on another trip. Tftc

Thanks. Found

TFTC, early morning find, less muggles and before the summer heat kicks in.

Easy find

Quick find tftc

Found with bedlem2 & kazzacosmo

Found with Irvine123

Checked and changed log. Good to go.

New log, all in place

need to replace Log

Out with Trodectus to grab some caches for the mystery at the museum challenge. Walked from previous cache. Quickly located cache, log was very wet but managed to be signed and returned. TFTC

13th find with Coybear2000 while out getting some caches for the afternoon. We managed 16 finds, 3 DNFs and one that we couldn't attempt due to muggles. We parked in a nearby side street and walked along Windsor Rd. To save time we signed as CB2M and TD. The states of the caches were variable; some containers were missing lids, some logs were damp and one was even mush. It was a long walk with light rain at times, but we enjoyed it. TFTC.

Today I headed out to Dural for the Amateur Radio NSW (HAM Radio) bi-monthly Trash & Treasure sale at Quarry Road and, after a fun filled morning of HAM radio junk scrounging and a nice BBQ lunch with lots of friendly chit chat, it was time to get caching and collect enough caches to enable us to complete the Mystery at the Museum cache challenge with the collected jewels safely returned to the vault. I had packed the folding bike into the geomobile and planned a "ride & grab" caching raid along the Windsor Road cache trail, and maybe a few extras around the Rouse Hill area, to give us the needed minimum of 23 finds. This was the 2nd of 27 finds, and 4 DNF's, for the day.

Riding the bike along the bike path form the Rouse Hill House & Farm Visitor Centre this was the next one along the pathway, and it was another quick find. The log was too wet & slimy to sign, so I took a photo of it instead, and then it was off riding along the trail to the next one. TFTC Morley196.

Find #3312

TFTC with Pulloa. Rusted and saturated... unable to sign

Found, but could not log as it was waterlogged. Found with BrodyT2010

Out with the family. Log is waterlogged could not sign.

Yes we got it. So water logged no way can we sign

Found with rozway Reggiejohn and bedlam2

A bit wet

Just picking up another few caches along this trail to keep the streak going. The selected ones were not hard to find and the paper left to add to the log was signed before being replaced as found. TFTC.

WE go for a cache search. Is beautiful, the sun burns. Thanks for this cache. The logbook is full.

Greetings from Czech Republic.

TFTC!

On a really hot 40-degree afternoon I set out from McGraths Hill, and walked the Windsor Road series from that point all the way to Rouse Hill Town Centre, picking up every cache in range that I could get my hands on.

It took four-ish hours, and I consumed about two liters of liquids (a combination of water and electrolytes), then proceeded to sweat it all out.

Thanks heaps for placing the caches along this trail - as sweltering as it was, t’was a nice glimpse into the relatively quiet northwest before it all falls into the inevitable suburban sprawl. The sun was amazing despite being hot and I had some proper Aztec Camera vibes going the distance as the sun made its way to the horizon.



Found! It was at this point that I started feeling a strange draw towards the rustic rolling hills of a place I don’t remember ever being in. Maybe my brain finally got cooked in all that head? Maybe I just need to keep walking?

A great day for a bike ride in western Sydney with my granddaughter. Thanks to the COs for all the caches... and to those who helped maintain them.

We left early this morning to get as many caches as we could along this trail. Ended up getting just over 80 so it was a very good day. Thanks for all the caches.

Always love caching with this group, a fun day out on this trail chasing planets. Thanks to all COs for the caches.

Out with the gang collecting caches along Windsor and Richmond roads. It was a medium long pedal but a great day. Disappointingly we had to replace a few containers along the way but no biggie either since the effort should breath some life back into the trail. TFTC.

A fun day of caching with friends around Windsor.
OCWF&F SL TFTH

Out on a bicycle caching run with geobuddies along both the Richmond and Windsor Rd trails and also grabbing any other caches in-between.
Overall our day was a whooping 10hrs on the bikes and we all enjoyed every pedel of the way.
We found a total of 87 caches today so I apologise for my repeated logs,
Thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with a great day out.
TFTC

I’ve been keen to start on this Power trail for some time now.
Today I set off on a two hour public transport journey to reach the southern end of the trail.
I arrived a little later than I’d hoped due to life getting in the way of caching this morning.

Great history along this trail and a nice walk.

I overshot this one until I saw the hint

First cache of the day is as good as coffee Quick find. TFTC

Needing some exercise I headed out early today and after parking the geomobile headed off to grab these caches along the pathway. Lots of interresting hides and a few DNF's to add to a fun day. After finding each cache and signing the logs all were returned as found.

My apologies for the generic logs.

Out for a bike ride with SeeMyShell this morning.. The track took a while because we got distracted by the two pubs along the way, and probably spent more time in there than riding the bikes ...It is Christmas time after all Most caches were found in good order with 52 finds and 6 DNFs for me today.. Thanks for the caches and adventure!

TFTC
Out Caching with EatSleepCacheRepeat on bikes all hides were quickly found, with the exception of a couple of DNFs
Cheers

A quick find on what promises to be a long day on the heat on foot - at least it gets me some calorific credit for Christmas!

Damn that’s a strong magnet! TNLN TFTC

Found on a wet day out in Rouse Hill. One hell of a magnet! TFTC

found it tftc

Been wondering how many a solo cacher could reasonably find in daylight hours. Made an attempt today to celebrate a major life milestone. Started near the South end of the Old Windsor Road 'power trial' and cycle-cached my way North. The initial target was to make 40 but managed to complete that before noon. So continued on to Windsor. 50 finds came up just before Windsor with still a few hours left before needing to get back to the Eastern Suburbs for an engagement. So picked off a few more caches on either side on the ride back to the car. Tally for the day (in 7 hours 45 minutes): 63 finds and 7 DNFs. A big thank you to Morley196 for making this outing possible.

Our first time in this part of the country, and what a great way to see the area and learn about it. Always love a series we can do on our bikes.
Fumbled a bit here, but found it when we looked in the other obvious spot.
TFTC

Today was supposed to be a mash of fitness and caching so I went and picked up one of those O Bikes, threw it in the back of car and headed for Rouse Hill.
TFT All the Caches I found. I only got through 8 before I stood face to face with a red bellied black snake and that was where my day ended.

OCW Coastblue Big day as we tackled the Windsor Power trail. Coastblue had already found a few so I got started early and caught up until she joined me. Overall I found 46 with 7 DNFs and a few we didn't go for as they'd been muggled. Great day out, we managed to avoid the rain and finish before sunset! Cache# 333

Yes, very attractive. TFTC

You do have to use muscles here - TFTC!

That's one tough magnet... TFTC

Super magnet power!!

Obvious hint and a quick find make for easy numbers! TFTC!

Today was the day for the Windsor to Rouse Hill trail.

I started off by parking on Court Street in Windsor, unfolding the push-bike and get on the road. In total I found 67 caches, and 5 non founds. At the end of the day, the GPS showed a total track distance of 18.6 km.

Another good find! Thanks for the cache!

I parked in the entry to Rouse Hill Farm very early this morning, way before there was any action around, and walked the short distance along the cycleway to this cache.
I was surprised at the number of walkers and runners that passed me in both directions as it was so early, still it was a nice morning.
A quick check of the area matching the hint produced a well concealed cache. It was extremely wet inside and the log was hard to sign but I did manage to leave my mark.

I visited some TBs and replaced the cache as found then headed back to the geomobile and then onward towards Scheyville.
