Found it

Thanks

Reperio 07:04Day 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

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 16278TFTC Youban

Quick easy find, TFTC.

Nice

5th 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. A very quick find but the cache, because the log was very wet, showed the issue with gel pens to log with.TFTC Youban and the Janis Ian.

Easy find

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!

Fun quick find. TFTC! Log book is a bit wet, but still readable and writable.

It was easy

Very good, very easy for beginner geocachers, however this geocache is also quite water damaged too

Found

Thanks it was a good 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

Cool location and box!

The first Geo trail led me astray along with my GPS the second Geo trail didn't.

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

Kids brought their cousins for first find!

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…

Thanks

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

This was a quick find, in a nice park to enjoy our ride for the day. Grabbed the clue needed.

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

An easy one to find. Wet log. TFTC.

Really enjoyed this trail and appreciate all the effort the CO has put into hiding interesting and creative containers. All the coords were pretty much spot on which helped in this bush setting.

All attempted were found and logs signed with the exception of one DNF logged separately. Unsurprisingly some of the logs were damp but still able to be signed. TFTC and the series Youban

Easy find

Number 17 found 16 left to go

Off to the south coast of NSW for a week.
Doing a few of these with the gkids. Found all but one of those that we did. Nice.

Yay

Yay

Back for the second day - walking the rest of the Bengello walk with the geopooch and finishing off the rest of the caches. Lovely walk amongst the bush and back along the beach again. TFTC

Took a while and actually wasn’t on the ring side of the path

Good cache, fun to find

My daughter found this easily. Log is a bit damp but with so much rain, I'm not surprised!

Thanks for hiding

TFTC Yay. Happy to have found my first on this trail. Wish I had 2 wheels not 2 feet but enjoying the walk immensely.

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!

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. The first day we met up with others at the botanic garden before caching through the coastal region north of Moruya. We even attempted some first finds in the afternoon, but were beaten by Tankengine who seems always to get the jump on them. The day ended with Dinner at the golf club with Tankengine, Dty73 & Youban.

As we headed around to the car park for the more remote coastal caches this afternoon, we stopped at these Bengello walk caches by those who had not already done them.

Thanks for the cache Youban

An invasion by a group of ACT cachers to Moruya area to grab (quite) a few caches.

Now onto some of the Bengello Walk caches series and those we found today were found without issue. Log were duly signed and we were off for the next in the series. Will be back before heading home to grab the rest.

Thanks Youban....enjoyed all the effort that has gone into the caches.

I am down the coast for a weekend of caching with a great mob from Canberra. My apologies for generic logs but today we found 60 caches and are now all sitting around chatting.
It was a challenging but incredibly successful day. Huge thanks to all the COS for the placement and maintenance of these caches. All logs were signed either with individual names or as Capital Crunchers.

Found during a family weekend away. Signed as capital crunchers. TFTC.

On a trip to the coast with a group from Canberra. Caches signed as Capital Crunchers or (CC). Tftc

Great container! Thanks
