3 today, did this pipeline cache last, just before dark. We will be back for the rest soon.TFTC, 227
Visited the cache today and cleaned out the container, then replaced the wet logbook & pencil with new log sheets & pencil in their own separate internal container, so hopefully that will keep the log dry regardless of moisture within the outer themed container. Happy caching everyone
This was pushed in quite far but easy grab. Tipped out the water but still was able to sign the soggy logbook, cheers for the hide
Be careful, there is a lot of broken glass around this one. Thanks for an awesome power trail. Really enjoying the walk along the pipeline. TFTC
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.

Another one off the pipe line track log is dry on a beautiful sunny day TFTC
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.
Back across the road from #5 to here and then just one left for today. 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.

#23 MTB 21/01/2023 Gordon to Manly via the pipeline. Thanks for the brilliant trail vk2df #1835
Lots of broken glass at GZ so be careful but no problem with cache itself.
Thanks for another pipeline cache!

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.
Third one of today. Spotted it while pedalling up the hill, hid it slightly better so it can’t be seen off the trail. TFTC
Second visit to this series. Third find and had to wait ages - passing school kids and a dogwalker who went down and then back.
Finally had the area to myself and found it where expected.
Signed, replaced and away. Now to get info for a nearby puzzle.

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

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!

A nice easy find our first of the day augurs well for the rest of the list we’ve made.
The clouds are looking very threatening so I parked nearby and ducked up the track to this cache. 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).

Now this game is all about numbers, and this week it’s been very important and difficult to keep the numbers right.
I have a personal challenge to get to 10 finds per calendar date and getting that right this week is also important as I’m so close to that milestone.
Then the Queen gave us a day off!!
That meant comp tennis was cancelled but it also meant I could get the find I required today and make up any numbers needed for my upcoming milestone!
The only problem is the Queen didn’t organise the weather very nicely for outdoor activities today, still a hardened geocacher doesn’t worry about that so here I am. First find of the day.
Parked the geomobile in the nearest side street and began my walk along the pipeline. The hint didn't mean anything to me but I soon found the cache, signed the log, replaced it and continued my walk in the reverse series number order.

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.

We were just about to leave the house for our regular afternoon walk, when the computer signalled three new caches within walking distance from home. Changed direction for our walk, and went for a couple of FTFs. This was the third one.
