Description

Have you looked for and find Trig Points (also known as a Trigonometric Station)​ on Geocaching Australia?    If so, how many have you managed to find and claim?

If you've managed to find and claim 450 of them, well here is an extra cache for you to go and find as a reward for all those hikes up those hills.    Simply head on out and make the find and then log a find here.    Just remember you must have found at least 450 Trigs.    I'm sure you know where to look to check if you found 450, but just in case.

From the main page of geocachingaustralia.com.au :

  • Click on 'Menu' on the top right hand corner,
  • Click on 'Statistics,
  • Click on  'Statistics - Graphs of Cachers' View Now,

From there select the following from the drop down boxes:

  • Geocaching Australia Only
  • All
  • Cachers by Finds Trigpoints

(Note: Checking the statistics in this manner will include any Trig Points you may have found in NZ) 

Once you've checked the stats to see how many Trig Points you have found, and if you qualify, you can head out to find and log this cache.  

A few tips to help you enjoy the walk:

  • Allow 2 hours.   You can walk to the summit and back in less time, but you have to find the caches, and maybe check the views along the way and certainly from the top,
  • Park at these parking co-ords, S35 22.790 E149 04.620 
  • Find the caches in the numbered sequence,
  • Follow the trail to the summit of Mt Taylor.   The caches will be off the trail 20-40 metres.    After you find the cache, head back to trail the same way.   This way you wont miss any.

I will check claims against this reward, and even though I can't delete your log, I can name and shame you on the page....so please, don't log this cache until you have reached the required number of finds.   

Have fun...while you find yourself a few more smilies........

It was a warm and fun filled day when we as a group tackled Mt Taylor which included Fitzy, MinnieK, Gliss, Aykayam and Tankengine. It nearly killed me actually but it was a good day. Went up the top and over and back down. I forgot to log these so writing a note now and back dating and will check which ones I qualify for.

Found with minniek, fitzy_196, joolay, tankengine and aykayem. I'm sure I don't qualify ... YET! Smile

GCA 2,661. Found during a meander up Mount Taylor today with minniek and a bunch of others.

Having done all but one of the (obvious) caches up here my main aim was to finish the Trig Reward Caches. All were found with no problems and they are in good condition.

As of today I have 562 Trigs.

Have now over 500 trig finds, so I can log this one. I signed the log on 13 January 2018. TFTC Sol de lune.

I can only make a note here as I haven't found enough trigs yet. I will change this when I hit 450. Another 38 needed. I lifted a lot of rocks before I located this one.
 
22-Dec-17
A couple of months later, I have qualified for this one. Now I just have to go back to the top to see if the 500 is there or not.

I came into the area from the north-east side and took the zig-zag path up to the top. Knowing that I had done things the wrong way, I thought I would find the caches closer to the top and get the others another. I hope to be back soon when I qualify for the find.

After a short steep climb Mrs y'stassie reached the top of the ridge and a great view. She checked the nearby pictorial information board to help her locate the prominant features she could see below. Then it was off to hunt for this cache.

A short hunt and the cache was located safely tucked away and safe from the many muggles who stream up the mountain on beautiful days like today.

We have just over 500 trig finds and therefore qualify to log a find on this cache

Thanks for another excellent hide Sol De Lune.

#GA1717 - 15:35; I saw this series published a couple of days ago and decided that I should get out there and give it a try as I now qualified for all 10 of the challenges after a recent caching mission to the NT and back with the CO where we collected more than 100 trigs for the trip across five states and territories which brought my total trig finds to 554. A short sharp climb from the last find and I was now close to the summit. Once at GZ I soon had the cache in hand and log signed, again a *FTF*. Great views in this area.
