Found it

Thanks

Reperio 07:14Day 4 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I travelled from Batemans Bay to Eden. The biggest factor of our travels today was the wind. Often blowing so hard it was a challenge to both get the log signed and hang onto zip lock bags. The journey along the coast was fantastic. With rain threatening to arrive early the next day, we aimed to get as much done as we could, and so concentrated our effort on ticking off the caches along Bengello Beach. Found most of the caches we searched for, so it was a great day out.Gratias YoubanAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

The wind died down overnight and we woke to a beautiful sunny morning with the barest of a breeze. So it was onto the bikes and out to the Bengello trail to see how far we could get. We ended up making it to the entrance at Moruya Beach with plenty of finds and a couple of DNFs. Coordinates were generally very good, and the hides well set up and in good condition. Towards the end there were some really interesting containers which we appreciated.Riding the trail was not as easy as well-formed pathways but the bush very interesting, broken up by the occasional excursion over to the beach.We made it back to camp by lunch time, both a bit worn by the ride and the rough countryside we at times had to cover to get to GZ. In the later afternoon we headed out again to find a couple of other caches close to camp.A great series we enjoyed, so we will be back in the next few days to work on those remaining.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Youban.**SKI Pair****

Accompanied by ALL7, Nice weather was partly cloudy with little showers, then a little while later, it became fully sunny, we travelled to Broulee to run a series of heaps of caches. Some drove, some walked, and some biked. Some **(WOW)** excellent ones are interesting, look at clever ones on the drifferent types of caches in different ways. Love it. Signed the log by the stamp of us. TFTC

Lets go!!!!!!!We found it!!!!

Staying at Broulee Caravan park, and today we got the bikes down after a long period of not being able to ride. A cool but sunny day doing the Bengello walk.Total Caches Found 16282TFTC Youban

7th of 17 found today.An overnighter at the coast with a bit of traveling required. FFP was mostly patient but toward the end was wandering off trying to see how close she could get to the next cache without a GPSr. This accounts for a number of my embarrassingly high DNF count as I didn't want to have her waiting too long. Was a bit thrown by the hint as it had me looking elsewhere.The cache is in good condition.TFTC Youban and the Willard.

Out for a day of caching on the South Coast with Steeba and The Rats, aiming for a few series and finishing with the 20th Anniversary Earthcache Event.Hot day for a walk, bet we will be wishing for a sea breeze by the end. Let's see howany of this series we can knock over.Cheers

Out for a days caching with steeba and Hoojar. We had a lovely day on the south coast. This was one of many we found throughout the day.TFTC

Headed down the coast for a day mainly to celebrate the Wasp Head event with The Rats and Hoojar but found plenty of caches along the way for a nice day out.TFTC!

Loving these quick finds on an evening bike ride. Thank you

Perfect spot

A day out caching with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Thanks for placing the geocache

Out again today with LittleBoss2 to knock off as many of these as we can. These are new containers to us. Thanks again Youban

Thanks

Nice

This trail could do with some bench seats...I was tempted to sit on some of the fallen logs but thought better of it.

A day of walking along the tracks between Broulee and North Moruya Heads for a whole bunch of caches. Pleasant walk through the forest and only light bush to have to walk through, some really good cool caches in this area. TFTC.

Found with Curloo. Thanks for the hide.

Found with Jondub. TFTC

Can’t believe it took me so long but the hint as very help when I’d read it - TFTC

My little sister found it

Nice hide

Caching down the south coast for a few days. TFTC.
Nice to find this one after missing out once before.

Not true north but approx 5 metres parallel to the path.

A couple of days at the coast.
Cool, but beautiful and sunny; definitely warmer than Canberra.
We made our way down yesterday, stopping along the way for a few adventures and a couple of caches, a pie in Braidwood for lunch then we set up camp in Tomakin for 3 nights.
An awesome place to stay, and right by the river, we have a spectacular sunset (see photos).

Today we tackled this awesome series.
For many years, we used to stay at Mossy Point in the summer and run/ride this beautiful trail. We would make our way to the airport and watch the “cigar” plane take off or land.
Today, we also watched a skydiving plane take off and then paused on our walk to watch the parachutes, skydivers land.
In later years, quite spontaneously, our son flew us in a small 4 seater plane to the Moruya airport, and we picked up a FTF (unexpectedly), just 50 metres from the airport!

Today we were on foot, and it was a long walk.
About this series. It is beautiful and awesome forest/beach trail.
The care in creating the hides is lovely; none of the hides are “hidden”. All out in the open but invisible unless you are truly looking. Most were quick finds, however 2 or 3 took us somewhat longer.
Our name is in the log for all.
We say a big thank you to Youban for this awesome series.
Now onto the bonus final…

Very interesting cache that took us a while to find. Not actually in the true North direction. TFTC

Great one! Thanks

Only had a quick look as I'm in a hurry

Catching up with some very late logs. This was found while staying in the area and grabbing just a few for the day, while out on our bikes.

An easy enough find at GZ. Enjoyed the trail. Grabbed the clue needed.

Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Checked out. Still there . Look around 5 meters north of the sign. A rather large cache. YOUBAN

Couldn't find this on today.
Better luck next time.

??

DNF. We searched much wider than where coords were and found nothing. Think maybe it's been moved or muggled.

No luck

Harder to find than others. TFTC.

Went out today and have replaced the missing cache.

Happy caching.

Nothing I could spot within 5m of the coords, so given the recent DNFs and that the rest of the coords on this trail are pretty much spot on, I have logged a DNF here.

Found number 14 only 13 to go

DNF

We searched and searched and didn't find

I wasnt even aiming to get this cache today.
I was walking past to a cache further down the path when out of the corner of my eye i spotted something. It didn’t turn out to be the cache but when i turned around after checking it out there it was.
Thanks.

TFTC. Another find like the rest. Cheers.

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Found it with Silence49 while on travelling

A few soggy spots to avoid on the ride along here, but by and large an easy ride, thanks for all the cache hides.

Cache in good condition TFTC

Paper was too wet to sign

Found but soggy log, didn’t sign.

This log was also saturated

Found it but log is sodden

Camping at Bateman’s Bay. Excited to see this trail. Jumped into the car, with the geopooch and headed south. What a beautiful walk. Thanks for bringing us here Youban. We’ll be back to finish it another day. Thanks for placing all these caches to find.

I decided I needed another solo geocaching holiday to detox before uni so I thought the Bengello caches (the Bengello Walk and all the other nearby series') were a great excuse for holidaying at Broulee! Bengello is a stunning area, with a great mix of lovely vegetation and awesome ocean views. The weather was hot today but super blue and lovely, and (for the most part) pretty shady! Started walking at 7am (I didn't get a good sleep) from my accommodation and got back at 3:30pm, with 55 caches to boot. Great to spend Valentine's Day spending time around my true love, geocaching!

The caches in the Bengello Walk series were all found within a couple of minutes each, some instantaneously but some after a bit longer (but that's all about luck, I reckon finding speed would be variable for many people). Unfortunately a vast majority of the logs are quite wet, some unusable, so maintenance is required. I noticed that caches with clues for the bonus tended to be more wet than caches without the bonus (if you've found you the series you'll understand this difference). Speaking of clues, I forgot to look for clues in the first seven caches so before I go back to Canberra in a couple of days I'll need to revisit the area to grab the numbers and the bonus, plus attempt two DNFs within very close walking distance. A lovely series with some funky containers. TFTC Youban!

log was way too wet to sign but tftc

My battery died, but we found it with Short_Teas phone!

Signed as BB & BJ!

Gets easier the further you go

Quick find but log is soaking. Attempted signing but it may not stay around too long. Tftc

A quick find. I have done a longer log on number one and 22. TFTC

Colourful rocks here!

Paper very wet , too wet to write on

Got it. Log is wet though

Log was too wet to sign. I drained the water but it might need some extra ?

With ACT residents no being able to travel to an area around the capital including the coast, it was time to plan a trip. There was a good sized group where we were going to base in Moruya for three days. I traveled with Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny. Others were Cosmonaut97, Kitty Katch, Joolay, Barb2e, fitzy_1965 & MinnieK. Most logs were signed Kapital Krunchers. We had a great weekend of lots of caching in fantastic weather. Day two was more caches around Moruya, we were joined by My Windy who was also holidaying on the coast. We started with south of the river with a walk and then down to the heads for the low tide caches. After lunch it was North of the heads and surprisingly there was enough time to finish the Bengello walk and the airport caches.

After walking from Pendragon to the coast track for a third time, we worked out way south back to the airport for these remaining walk caches. One DNF along the way.

Thanks for the cache Youban

A weekend down the coast for our group from Canberra and this was now day 2. Most logs were signed as Capital Crunchers....

Having left the main group for a while, Smittengranny, Albida and I set out to finish this walk and series. Found all but one of the caches. A neat walk that wasn't too taxing at almost the end of our day....and it was great to finish the series.

Thanks for another Youban....

A great group of cachers from Canberra known as the Capital Crunchers have come down to this area for a long weekend of fun and caching. This is Day 2 and we have been blessed with the weather and the multitude of incredible caches .

Sol de Lune, Albida and i have left the main group and are attacking this trail as the group has completed the list of caches that we were targeting today.

Wow now I understand a conversation that I had earlier with dty73.

Thanks for this trail Youban. SL

Thanks

Great find! Enjoying the walk!

Such a wonderful trail of caches TFTC

Thanks

Quick find, good spot

Nic’s first find. TFTC.

Great find

Much quicker find here! Tftc

Found

The cache was found up in the tree. Reading the clue I found a likely spot for it and replaced it back as per the clue. TFTC

I really enjoyed this trail. This walk was on my to do list while in the area for a few days. I got a bit lucky with a few rain free hours which let me get to #14 before having to turn back. Great series and clever once I figured out what I was looking for. TFTC.

No longer BOT... Has grown wings and moved up the tree a bit...

Such an awesome trail. Thanks

Ride or walk - we chose the first option and enjoyed one of the best geo trails we have experienced. Cleverly constructed, well hidden caches with clear mystery numbers kept our focus. We were asked a couple of times by passing muggles if we were OK!!

Thanks Youban for creating this excellent trail.

Wow

Thankyou!

In the area for a few days away pre Christmas, any excuse to geocache really. Took the bike and the geodog and peddled from Tomakin to the numerical start of the trail.

I usually hate micro caches but this trail was fantastic. The creativity of the containers was excellent, coords were great and caches were easy to find when you knew what to look for but well hidden if you weren’t looking.

The clues for the mystery cache were easy to find even if you weren’t looking.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to log the mystery today as it’s closer to the Moruya Heads end. Geodog was running out of steam and I didn’t want to make her do another 6-8km (it was already an 18km return trip).

This is easily the best series I’ve done. Well done Youban.
