Woot woot woot!

Found it

Travelling with iluvtrekking from our home state of WA on a SA caching foray. Staying in Aldinga for a few days and ranging from there to grab some finds. Scored another beautiful day after a couple of chilly ones. Love these country roads - our type of caching. Thanks for the hide LNCU

Travelling home from Victor Harbor, we decided to visit some friends in Aldinga on the way. That meant we had a bit of time to kill, so we ticked off a few more of the 40 caches. TFTC equipe de cinq

Another cache find on our 2022 South Australian Adventure and another very chilly, wet day. Just perfect for geocaching. A quick driveby, all good here TFTS.

We are enjoying our time travelling SA. Fantastic towns, ruins, beaches and cliffs & wine. Thanks to all the COs for taking us on this geo-guided tour.

Found some duct tape before finding this one TFTC.

Hi equipe de cinq, I found Forty Winks #31 today. I am on my way between the Goulburn Valley in Victoria to McLaren Vale in South Australia. Collecting a few smilies on the way.

Many thanks equipe de cinq for providing and maintaining this game piece for our enjoyment.

What a day we have had today. The first thing that happened right before my eyes all my maps just disappeared from the GPS, nothing we did would bring them back. Finally after several phone calls trying to fix the problem we ended up on the phone to Garmin who declared that the GPS was terminal. We will be without a GPS for a couple of weeks so it is caching with the phone, yuk. Today we needed to say no to a few of the Forty Winks caches that we had targeted.
The phone has an app on it that monitor’s my heart and I am not allowed to be more than 2 meters from the phone, the terrain was beyond me, if hubby had gone for the caches he would have needed to use the phone, the next thing would be a phone call wondering if everything was OK.
All the caches that we found today were in good condition and the majority of co-ords are spot on. Our finds were a mix of trads, multi and puzzles.

our again on my weekly cake and cache day with mum. headed back to complete the series.
enjoyed a nice pub meal at the AH at Aldinga.
cache in good shape and easy to find

Found with NiciDanielle and Zoe the Geodog. Nope never mind, there are some variations to the theme. Still an easy find though! TFTC

Today we went out to start working through the 40 winks series starting with the Zero!. The day started out warm and muggy and ended with us being very very wet. Dropped and Swapped some trackables along the way. All Caches were in great condition and were found with Cachehunter and Zoe the Geodog. TFTC.

Good cache thanks out with tricache hot day

Today I went caching with Poisin55 and Chubly09. We set out to complete the '0' of the 40 winks series of caches by bike and completed it successfully with no DNFs. the 40 is almost finished by us now except for the top of the '4' which the others didn't come prepared for as some long pants and gaiters would be needed and one DNF that is yet to be resolved on the '4' so there are a few left for another time. It was a bit of a hot day for it but it many smileys were gained and Chubly09 hit his 50th milestone and I hit my 200th. TFTC equipe de cinq

Out to find the zero. TFTH

Out for an afternoon of caching. Really enjoyed working through the forty winks series here! Most were quick finds with the help of the hints. Tftc!

Doing this series with ilook4geo today with a good find rate. The only ones we did not bother with were a few which required walking along a track where the grass was very long and could have been hiding who knows what. All the others were nice quick and easy finds and both names were soon stamped somewhere on each log. Thank you to equipe de cinq for placing this series of caches.

Enjoyed the caching along with goingplaces2 today. We had a mostly successful time, retrieved each container, signed the log and replaced all as found. TFTC.

Too easy.

Another quick find Tftc. Would love to go to Antarctica but not sure about the voyage to get there.

Quick easy find tftc

Chasing numbers for a serious milestone so today set my sights on a series I've long wanted to do but never got around to, the 40 Winks series. Found 37 and replaced 4 which were almost certainly missing.
Thanks to equipe de cinq for putting out this cache for me to find

Out and about geocaching today, while staying in Willunga from Brisbane. Decided to cache art, '40'. Due to the number of caches in this series I am doing a generic cache. Thoroughly enjoyed doing these caches, even those ones that had to be walked. TFTC equipe de cinq

Spending a few days in Wallunga as part of our trip to SA after borders were opened up to NSW and QLD. Today was the day to find the 40 Winks and a few extra caches near by. Many thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining these caches and enhancing our enjoyment of caching.

I would love to visit Antarctica. We were talking about it at the event earlier today.

TFTC and series.

On a mission to finish the 40 before while I am still 40! Wanted to finish it today with my Geodaughter and we succeeded. YAY!


We had some yapping dogs watch us every step of the way for this one. Otherwise, quick find by Geodaughter in a likely spot. TFTC

The main drag was really quite busy this afternoon and so weaving in and out of traffic required our full attention. Mrs Woodyrothwell and I were working together as a crack team to ensure we were safe.

I would look at the satellite view of the next cache and determine the best place to park. I would then survey all the traffic and safely pull out and drive to the next cache making sure not to look at the phone. During all this debacle, Mrs Woodyrothwell was doing her part by making sure Instagram was still online. tftc

Lots of fun to be out on a glorious day finding caches. TFTC

So this was a fairly full-on solo geocaching day for me today, and I wanted to make the most of the terrific weather that had the right temperature, sun out and blue sky. The plan was to head south to tackle some of the power trails / series, and for the most part, that was achieved. My day started at Seaford, and then it was a run along the creek finding the *Real Aliens* series. I then diverted towards the ocean, to find a nemesis oldie and enjoy a run along Moana's cliffs. A selection of the *Cats and Dogs* series were detoured past, before a break at Aldinga's bakery. Next was the *Forty Winks* series, and then back towards the ocean to enjoy a few caches at Sellicks Beach. It was getting to late afternoon by the time I drove through Myponga, and targeted a few hiking geocaches around there, and back towards Sellicks Hill. By this time, it was dark, and so made my way home, having utilised this great weather as best as I could.

I'm normally not the fan of power trails, especially doing these solo, but whether it was the weather, or obvious cache hides, I actually quite enjoyed driving around these, and the nearby airport made it even more enjoyable. I managed to find these caches in two waves (early afternoon, and towards the evening), with a few DNFs in amongst the series. This was the second phase of driving this series, and with it being dark after the sun had set, I pretty well had these roads to myself.

The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks equipe de cinq for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

Good find.

I decided to bump up my finds for 29th Feb, seeing as it doesn't come around often, so I headed down south from my home town and spent a day meandering around these areas and just enjoying the day.
Great weather, nice countryside and good caches. Thanks to all the owners, sorry but this is a blanket log.
Lots of scratches from the caches under the ever present bushes, lots of ants, lots of other things which made noises in the bush. I probably should be doing all this in winter - but that is no challenge
Some caches may have specific logs if they need attention, otherwise they were all found in good condition.Thanks for your caches and making my day an adventure.

31st Wink found.

31. Visiting for the tour down under 2020 passing through Meadows today. Enjoying the challenge of local caches. Thankyou for the cache series and the adventure , cheers.
Apologies for the generic logs.

Another quick find. Spider built its home nearby

Nice easy find on a busy road. TFTC

Simple grab there

Returned today after completing one half of this series earlier this year. Most were easy hides but a few caught me off guard. TFTC
