GLENMORE LOCH #5 FOREST REDGUM RESERVE Glenmore Park, New South Wales, Australia
By Bushfire on 22-Dec-17. Waypoint GC7G9ZZ

Again due to to ill health and the tree where this cache has been hidden has decided to close up the gap where the cache has been since publication so again time to go.

Our first find today has been a while since we found a cache so very exciting for us ! Was a little wet from the rain we have had.

That took forever to extricate from the mud.

Christmas day caching, out for a stroll to wear off some of the masses of food consumed!

Tftc easy find

Tftc - easy find gps stuffed up tho

Tftc - nice easy find

Now here's what I love about geocaching - discovering lovely natural areas like this, that I would otherwise not have known about. The pliers certainly did come in handy. Thank you very much for bringing me here!
P.s the note about barkers eggs gave me a good laugh - it's an expression I have only ever heard my brother say!

While out on Halloween my Teeny Tiny and I stopped to grab this one.

We need to look for the obvious spots! But we found it!

Geo son was to quick for me out of the car and he made the dash and had the cache in hand even before I got there.
TFTC

But he definitely makes sense found quite quickly. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache

Oops mean the hint makes sense. Stupid voice to text

Gradually heading westward towards the Anzac Event brought me to Forest Redgum Reserve. As I parked the geomobile another vehicle pulled up and someone got out and immediately began checking their phone then headed off in the direction I assumed I was going. Another geocacher?
No I soon walked a different route.

I like the sealed pathways in this reserve. You can walk your geodog in the bush without actually walking in the bush!
Not that geodog is here today but there seems to be plenty of dog walking muggles in this suburb.

The co-ordinates were really good and after standing and thinking for a moment and I found the cache pretty quickly. The inside of the container is a bit damp which doesn't surprise me after all the rain we've had, but the log is dry and easy to sign.

Didn't need the tweezers for extracting but glad to retrieve an unique container, thanks Bushfire

A early rise and drive to get to the Penrith lakes parkrun, then some nice caching on the other side of the Nepean River.

Found it quick good spot

Find 730 at 17:13
Lovely afternoon stroll with the geo-toddler. Quick find in a likely spot, only a nearby natural tool required.
Thanks Bushfire for the cache!

Called by today and on checking the cache it required some TLC so a new log in a new plastic bag has been placed after the container was dried out so will be good for the next finders.

Had a few hours to spare today while we were in Penrith, so I headed to Glenmore Park to grab the replacement caches in the GPP series ... and figured it was timely to have a look at the hides in this series as well.

Wandered up the hill to this one from #6 and had no problems making the find, right where my phone's GPS told me to go ... and no pliers were required. Thanks for the hide Bushfire.

Took me a long while to spot as GZ had me on the pathway and forgot to look at all of the obvious features, not just part of them as I had already done. TFTC

OCW Oldmorty in Glenmore Park on a warm spring day. Luckily there was a TOTT attached so no need to bring your own. TFTC!

OCW young morty8888. After a letterbox cache by the this cache owner we headed off to the blue gum forest to grab a couple more of his caches. Both caches were quickly found. TFTC Bushfire.

found with rm05 and gm10... catching up on logging

Log us damp easy find

In the area today so had a little time to collect a few caches. After a nearby one in the same park we headed to this one. We completed the signing duties and re hid TFTC

Found after widening our search area. OCW BM, TB & MA. TFTC Bushfire

OCW Brewmaker, EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer

Headed west for caching today.

Nicely hidden, took us a while to spot and retrieve it

OCW The Bebes, Brewmaker and EverestHigh on my Birthday. TFTC!

Our gang of 4 headed west to grab some caches. Took some time as we kept checking the wrong side of the path. Finally, after some circumnavigation I spied the hide. Eventually retrieved with the hands of TB. Sneaky one! Cache retreived and replaced quickly. Found with The Bebes, EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer.

This was our last one for the day. After over 40 finds today, it was time to head home. Thanks to all the cachers who placed the hides. TFTC

Found it, a bit wet so could not sign. Hopefully we have left it in a way that it can somewhat dry out. TFTC

Sneaky little hide but found without too much trouble. Tftc

Nice stroll in and little sneaky hide. Found pretty TFTC. Log book pretty wet TFTC

Loved this Cache! Found it without too much trouble.... fortunately my hands are small and girly. I did read the hint, but thought I'd give it a shot without the appropriate tool. The log is soaked after the recent rain, so maintenance is needed. TFTC Bushfire

We stayed in Penrith overnight to target the Glenmore Loch series today. With sunny weather we made our way around the local parks finding the best parking positions to get as close as possible to each cache.
Back in the car, we drove around the corner and made a quick find here after a bit of a fish around.
Thanks Bushfire for the placement.

Ocw oldmorty
Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

#2699 I have been to this park before and the find was very quick didn't need the hint so unsure how that was to be used

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Bushfire. I think

After a DNF at Glenmore Loch #6 Prickles and a very unfortunate puncture in my tyre, I was so happy to get this cache so my day was not completely wasted. Cache retrieved easy enough and log laid out in the sun for 15 minutes to dry out before signing. All good. TFTC Bushfire

Had to wait for muggles walking their dog to pass before pulling out the cache. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Tftc. Took longer to get the cache out of its hide than it did to find it, as it was in at an awkward angle.

Found. Nice hide.

This was found quick and easily.

Spent a few mins on the wrong side of the track but a little investigation of an obvious site and a little fishing revealed all.

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Penrith for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Gateway Lifestyle Nepean Shores Holiday Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Penrith, Regentville, Jamisontown, Emu Plains, Lapstone, and Glenbrook. Will also be keeping an eye out for our final Hidden Creature, the World Turtle, whilst out on the caching trail. This was our 4th find of the day, and 4th find of the holiday.

Parked the geomobile in Sir John Jamison Circuit, then headed off into Forest Redgum Reserve and around to GZ. Quickly found the cache, signed the log, and replaced as found. TFTC Bushfire.

Find #2666

Full log to follow

A good spot for a cache. TFTC

Prefer this one to the other, way less spikey! Lol TFTC

My start to the day I came here and found myself allready soaked from the nearby cache. Didn’t seem to have trouble finding this one. Now back to the car and turn the heater on to dry myself. TFTC

Find number 3978

After her success at the last cache and still having a good 20 minutes Mrs Booo and Booo headed off to the next cache and made another relatively quick find and still had time to spare

Thanks Bushfire for placing this cache.

My second find for the morning as I take a walk around the nearby area for a previous dnf and the placement of some new caches to the area.
I need to find a TOTT to assist in the retrieval, replacing as found once the log was signed. tftc

Out caching with Deep_99 and ContactPete on a Friday night after celebrating Chinese New Year, this one was found after midnight. SL #3474 on streak day #2053 TFTC

Out with Contactpete & Ris768 for a night caching run after some Chinese new year festivities. after finding 6 caches before midnight it was decided we needed one more after midnight to keep streaks alive so we chose this cache & arrived early at the parking spot 23:50 so we sat in the car & chatted while we waited for the clock to strike twelve. then we lept into action made the short walk to the cache & found it after a quick search. was able to retrieve without a tool
Thanks for Placing & Maintaining this cache Bushfire

Log 1331 Streak Day 413

TFTC the hint was helpful. If only I read it before getting to the cache. It all worked out in the end.

#4754 (2 of 3 today)

Went west before tonight's Big Bash game at the SCG.
Decided to target three newer caches around Glenmoore Park. And maybe a previous DNF near the river.

Got all three I went for but bailed on the previous DNF as it was raining slightly and previous experience suggested it would quickly go to mud.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Back to the main trail and away to this cache.
Nice quick find here in a logical spot. Just how I like 'em - well most of the time!

Completed signing duties and replaced.
Now off to a familiar area for my last find.

A quick find this morning before heading up the mountains to abseil Empress falls.
Thanks for the cache.

Quickly found. Signed and replaced. Thanks for placing. Tftc

A good little find today! TFTC

#4444- (That has a nice ring to it...) Out early for a few quick caches with thomo31 before it heats up.
Straight from "prickles", we headed back to the main path and down. Found the obvious spot, then realised how to get it. A nice quick, easy one and we were on our way for thomo31 to do another GCA trig nearby and breakky at McD. Thanks

A quick caching trip to Glenmore Park with WaywardWoman this morning. From Pickles headed along the path to GZ. Worked out where is was and WWs retrieved it without any trouble! Signed log and returned as found. TFTC Bushfire

Come in from the west! A tricky find.

**## Found Cache No. 1753 ##

Headed out to this cache this morning with Snoopy1976 trying to beat the heat of the day. Came prepared with some tools and then spotted the attachment and retrieved cache easily. TFTC

Streak Day #1641 - Found in first place i looked...brought tools with us but we didnt need them. TFTC

We came here after finding PRICKLES and found the access much easier for this one. There was really only one feature at GZ co-ords that needed our attention. A quick search there and the tell tale cache indicator was quickly spotted and the cache was retrieved. We registered our name in the log and replaced all carefully when we had finished.
Thanks Bushfire for this well placed cache.

Hard find, but fun TYFTC

Not the diabolical cache I was expecting. I tried to fashion a "tool" from nearby sticks, but saw the attachment and had the container immediately. TFTC Bushfire.

Toriaz and I were on our way to Hoyts in Penrith to see Hugh Jackman's latest offering, but were a little early. We decided to detour to this cache to pass some time. We had to use our phones, since this was an unplanned caching stop and our GPS was at home. Yet we found the cache easily enough. The real problem was in extracting it from its hiding spot. That took a few minutes and a little patience. We both had a go at it, both on our own and together, but it was Toriaz's smaller fingers that finally wiggled it into the right position so that I could pull it out. Thanks

#5,312

Bikerbuddy & I came down to Penrith to see The Greatest Showman. We left home a little early, so we made a detour into Glenmore Park to look for this cache.

The cache was an easy find close to the path, but extraction was not so easy. Really wished I had my little Monkey Girl with me, her small fingers would have been handy. We got there eventually.

Thanks
