Description

My first GA cache

I have been finding GA caches, so I figured it's about time I hid one, and here it is. It should be an easy find. It's in the Callum Brae Nature Reserve. Take a walk while you are here. Enjoy.

I looked for somewhere I could cycle to for some exercise today, and it was late afternoon when I set off, so I picked a closer destination. I have been doing maintenance gradually on my caches in cycling distance during the covid-19 crisis. I have never done any maintenance on my GA caches (mainly because I trust GA cachers more than some GC cachers to actually have found the cache and signed the log), but decided to add those caches close enough to my cycle outings as well. Today I checked on this and another in Callum Brae Nature Reserve. Plus found a moveable here. Then I cycled off to check on one of my GC caches, and to find a WP for a GC multicache.
I could see this cache clearly from a distance as it was uncovered. The cache and log were good, with still plenty of room for signatures. I left the cache in its hide hidden behind a wall of bark.

Found with Stangetrousers and CBRchic on a great day wandering around Callum Brae. We came out to get the ACT 1000 Club series and picked up a bunch of GA caches at the same time. This was the first find for the day. Cache was in good condition. Thanks for the cache Smile

Found while on a massive but very lovely walk around Callum Brae. Once we got to GZ, it was a very quick find in the expected position. All too easy! TNLNSL. TFTC Goldenwattle! Clan Cerberus

F(H)ound It! - @%2:40pm

Well I've been finding a few GCAs too and its nice to find one from GW.
I knocked off early (POETS day Big Grin) and went for a walk in CB to find a few recent GCA puzzles and this one.
Something was making a knocking noise inside a hollow tree near GZ, I waited and watched but never discovered what was responsible. It was a bit spooky Anxious . Thanks for the cache, Goldenwattle.

Double dragonZone point week was a good time to head out for this one. Have certainly been in here a few times over the years, but I haven't actually found many caches during those visits. WhistleWhistle
