We might have to rethink our adventure today. Well have to drive around to as many as we can. Its too slippery. But thats ok. Something is better than nothing! TFTC!
Thanks for an awesome power trail. Really enjoying the walk along the pipeline. TFTC
It's so cool to be the first one signing a new log book. Being a water engineer, walking along this enormous pipeline is just like a dream. Thanks for combining my two favourite activities, geocaching and water engineering.
Replaced the wet logbook with a new one, which has now been double bagged to hopefully keep it dry. Also cleaned & dried the inside of the container and replaced the pencil. Happy caching everyone
Jennyfromthefarm and I had been talking about doing this series for a while. Today we headed out on a warm sunny winters day. We meet at #1 then decided it was better to park a car at the start and end, so drove the second car to the end and worked our way in reverse on this series.
Thanks for placing this series, we really enjoyed and found this with ease.
#1, 2 and 3 were all sitting in their hiding spot with the caching label exposed and obvious. We have hid again better.

OCW discobob3 today and we met and parked at number 1 but while sitting in the car I looked at the distance and said let’s leave a car at each end which I’m very glad we did.
It was a decent walk with some varied terrain and three offshoot adventures to find other caches that weren’t very far off the trail.
Thankyou for placing and maintaining these caches along the pipeline. It was a worthwhile trip today to do it all in one go and we were happy to report each cache was found in good condition.
The walk took us approximately three hours at a relaxed pace.

We are using this series for one of Mrs Gaztek’s knee replacement recovery walks. We attended a nice Bold and Beautiful swimmer gathering in Manly earlier then came up here and parked just below the reservoir. The plan is to head as far as #8 stopping at the even caches and return doing the odd ones.
So #2 was our first stop and here we learned the pattern for the rest of our walk. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Out visiting a colleague today (which ended up falling through) in the area so to the opportunity to start this pipeline trail. As a water engineer myself it was great to walk amongst this stellar piece of infrastructure. Tftc vk2df, a great series!
I am here visiting my family. I found this cache in the series. First find of the day was today.
Nice easy find to start with.
Thanks.

#24 MTB 21/01/2023 Gordon to Manly via the pipeline. Thanks for the brilliant trail vk2df #1836
Muggle mowing lawn nearby but waited for him to turn around and made the quick find.
Log felt a bit damper than others in the series, nothing to worry about yet though...

All the 4Rods and the geodog ventured out to find this series today. After a few caches little geodog found the going too hot and had to rest. Team 4Rods then had to split up as geodog needed attention. When the series started publishing we decided that we would find all the caches in the power trail in one go. We loved loved the crafted cache containers. Excellent work. Loved the series, and it gets a FP from us. (apologies for the 1 generic log)
Thanks team vk2df.
Thanks team vk2df.
Second find of the day. The gps cords were nice and accurate and took me straight to the cache. TFTC
I had my MTB with me, but owing to my extreme unfitness I also made use of shank’s pony at times.
Second visit to this series. Like the last find it was damp inside the container but thankfully not inside the ziplock bag. So removed the pencil from that bag as they are frequently the cause of holes.
Signed, placed - at an appropriate moment - and away.

Together with Brewmaker I walked along the pipeline for quite a few caches. It was an enjoyable walk and each cache was a good find. Given the pipeline runs all the way to Pymble I expect quite a few more caches to be published!

OCW Its_Dozzie grabbing this Pipeline series. A pleasant stroll from one end to the other. We left the Brewmobile at one end and then drove in the Dozzie Jeep to #1 to start our journey. All hides were easily found and in good condition. Thanks for the series and TFTC
Having been out and finding #13 and #14, we could as well continue to look for the two first in the series, which we had not found before.
Heavy rain is getting closer so my slow walk is getting faster. Just reached this one before a shower. Thanks for a good hide.
I really have no idea which day it is. Long weekends do this.. (and that's my excuse). So vk2df - please disregard the selection of finding dates I penned into the logbooks... sigh. I discover that today is actually 5 October - which is when I found Pipelines #1,2,3.
At that stage, the heavens opened and the hilly path on which I was wading, became a roaring torrent and, soaked through, I splashed back to my parked vehicle like the wimp I am.
I had no idea this pipeline was here. Interesting. I found these three hides backwards - but finding is finding.
And, of course on my homeward journey I had to stop in a favourite shopping area (now under no risk of being covidly depleted of goodies by felonious out-of-towners). Coffee from the cafe there was amazing. And I carted home a reuben sandwich for my lunch - sooooooo goood.
Thank you vk2df for this enjoyable swim. I'll be back for the next 4 soon.. (and another reuben).

Quite easy once you have found one of the pipe line ones, it’s close to the big block
I was going to bring geodog for a walk along the pipeline as he's done other sections of it but as it was rainy I left him at home to guard the house. That was lucky as it was very wet and slippery along this section of the walk. Local dog walkers didn't seem to notice though as I passed a couple of woofers along this section.
Once I reached GZ I found it was really wet around the base of the pipeline. Luckily I could just reach the cache without standing in the water. This spot is quite over looked by the nearby houses. It was clear when I found the cache but as I passed on the return walk several were out packing their cars only a few metres from GZ. Lucky timing!

Humming the Johnny Cash tune "I Walk the Line" I set out to walk the pipeline on a lovely spring afternoon. After parking the geomobile in Wyarama Street the journey commenced with Pipeline 1 through to 7 and after 5000 steps I was back at the geomobile. Job done in 75 mins. Not many muggles this afternoon, 1dog walker, 2 joggers, 4 bike riders and 1 walker, me. I'm glad that I had a walking pole, not only helped with the walking but also with the cache retrieval.
Thanks for placing this cache and thanks for this series vk2df which is up to your usual high standard.

What's in the Pipeline? I found #1 then #2. Looking forward to the next instalment. TFTC vk2df
