Description
Hidden in GCA
There are varying types of triangles : Equilateral triangle, Isosceles triangle, Scalene Triangle, Acute Triangle and Obtuse Triangle.
If there is a single most important shape in engineering, it is the triangle.
Unlike a rectangle, a triangle cannot be deformed without changing the length of one of its sides or breaking one of its joints. In fact, one of the simplest ways to strengthen a rectangle is to add supports that form triangles at the rectangle's corners or across its diagonal length. A single support between two diagonal corners greatly strengthens a rectangle by turning it into two triangles. Triangulation of material, adds strength by eliminating lateral movement.
In fact, triangles are even used to find caches

Logs
Great parking at GZ for the motorhome and then it was up the hill to GZ where an unsuccessful search was made despite searching everything that fit the clue. While I got busy checking previous logs Mr Beetle wandered a bit further afield and soon found the cache, probably about 10 metres from where our GPS wanted us to look.
Then it was back to the van to put on some more bandaids to add to the ones I had to put on after looking for Robin's Nest. Paper thin skin is one of the disadvantages of getting older!!!
Thanks.
One of the caches we found today to complete a research task.

Disappointingly, nobody got me one for Christmas.
At GZ, I searched twice under everything before moving about 9m away to find the obvious hide.
Thanks!
My favourite triangle I use it a lot at work.
Today it was a quick find.

We had just reached the little group in Mornington when we noticed five more had been put back out on Rosny Hill. Fortunately the moveables were hidden together so led to a quick grab. While one of us headed to the new Augumented Reality cache the other headed to this recently published puzzle. We had no trouble solving this one. After a short scramble up the hill through the wet grass we found ourselves at GZ but no sign of the hide. After a thorough search we expanded our search area and soon located the well hidden cache - our GPS indicated 10m NW of GZ. All was well with cache and container.
Thanks for another hide in this area Old Saint.
After a sizeable weekend where potentially none of us with have wives after it HAHAHAHA
The emails went BANG !!
I thought we were settled inside for the night
But next thing I know we have the hiking shoes back on !
This was great, puzzles are too hard for me so luckily I had some brains around me lol.
Up we go ..... THE SAME HILLWE WERE ON LESS THAN 12 hrs ago !
Thanks OldSaint for the hide

After being out all day and not seeing anything of Mrs Rat all the long weekend I have to go out in the middle of watching Endeavour to grab a FTF on this one.
I talk to GooseandEgg and 1Toolman and we meet up at a good parking place, after that we head up a hill in the bush in the dark for a bit, at the solved coords we start our search, after coming up empty we expand our search and in a few minutes 1Toolman shouts 'Found It'
So we all stand there as we open it up to see if we have been beaten, and it turns out we are not and are FTF on the cache.
Thanks for the cache.
We did this puzzle 'on the fly' in the car after finding a handful of new movables. My high school maths is not as great as it used to be but with a bit of prodding we got it out and were pleased. We'd been very close to here earlier today but made the journey to GZ in the dark safely.
A joint FTF with stainless-steel-rat and 1toolman at 8.10pm.
Thanks OldSaint for the few extra points tonight, very much appreciated.
