Description
Under an Umbrella
I'm sure most of us have cached in the rain or on a really hot day. Umbrellas come in many many shapes sizes and colours. The aim of this locationless is to show us you Geocaching under an Umbrella. Photos please plus the coords and what Geocache you were doing at the time.
Bonus points (not really) if its an Umbrella Hat like Bruce wore at Niagara Falls :-)

Had to abandon our search for this cache, Mr T got caught in a deluge of rain. Here he is dashing back to the car.

On a shopping trip to the local Bunnings store with our toddler twin grandsons. Started to rain so out came the umbrella, and both boys into a shopping trolley. Bethania, Queensland.

I have cached under an umbrella on many occasions and sometimes gumboots. Sadly my bright purple umbrella has been retired with an equally bright replacement. I was finding a cache recently hidden at Tuncester. Thanks for the umbrella cache 
QUEENSCLIFF VICTORIA
A variable weather day for caching in Queenscliff today. Sunny one minute then showers or even heavy rain. Fortunately this GC13675 Paper Bark was a short walk from the car and I had an umbrella available to use.

Today we had planned on grabbing 6 caches while heading to Devonport to get some more rocks for the garden. But we woke up to a wet horrible day.
It did ease later in the morning but we still took the umbrella in case.
Needed it at two out of the 6 caches.
Here is our grandson at the 3D cache Lost Pencil Hotel GC8QW6P.
thanks.

With family caching in the rain. It was a lot of fun. The cache was Dial before you 6 - a series in the Waikato area.

even though it is a rainy day today, my umbrella picture is from Summer Luckily we had an umbrella in the car and we had our car in South Australia. It was particularly hot and my family thought it very strange when I wanted the umbrella to walk to a cache. They think I am strange geocaching anyway! Cache was Bull and Ridley Grain Harvesting Machines- Historic Engineering Marker #5 GA7727 on 23/2/19. I walked around the city collecting up some caches. Umbrella can come in handy for reaching high caches so not only respite from heat or water!
An early start on Saturday out at Birdsland Reserve.
First order of business was the day1976 event, "A Run In The Park - Birdlands".
Not feeling up to doing the Parkrun afterwards I joined in with buhfuhguh and SteMicMitSar to find the final of "The Two Poem Cache".
It rained intermittently as we made our way to GZ and again whilst we looked for the small container.
Searching amongst boulders and trees whilst holding umbrellas was somewhat difficult but the call finally went up when Steve located the hide.
The attached picture of buhfuhguh and SteMicMitSar was taken by me as we made our way back to the carpark.
(These coordinates are for the Parkrun Event as the cache is a Mystery.)
(No selfie as my phone is a few years old and I was reluctant to hold it out from under the shelter of my umbrella.)

Hi fitzy
For the first time in my life, I used an umbrella to stop getting wet while caching
I found GC88D78 "Fetid Views Across The Narrows," and my log read:
"Hi Porkchops
After help celebrate a friends 70th Birthday at BANGOR today, I was loathe to do any caching 'cos of the wine I'd consumed and it being such rotten weather conditions - windy, rainy and very cold; but a worse than normal winters day in Tassie - but I diverted on the way to Hobart and found this cache
It was the first time I'd ever been caching with an umbrella; but necessary to stay dry
I was fortunate with the find as my GPS took me to "0" immediately - saw the cache almost straight away
Sainted this one at 1640 hours
Took some pics and did not notice any fetidity at all
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint
My FINDS: GCA 4258; GC 3895; TOT 8153"
So, I think I qualify for this cache which was Sainted at 2145 hours
When I posted the same picture on Facebook, I copped heaps from my friends here in Tassie
TFTC and cheers

A wet day and searching for Bridge Banter XIIb - GC3NPB7. As I wrote in my log:
"A wet day for caching. If not for a gate and rocks across the access road, we could have driven almost to GZ. Instead we parked and walked around the gate and along the road sidestepping puddles. We managed to find a trail of mud en-route to the bridge (dug up by pigs?), but we found a better sandier route on the way back, so the first lot of mud can be avoided. But not easily avoided is the slippery muddy slope approaching the bridge. There are also blackberries to contend with. Now my question is, why is the bridge here?
At GZ it was a quick find and the damp cachers were able to return to the car and turn up the heater and fan to dry off. A warm café felt a good move next. TFTC."
