Description

One last puzzle for the SSS games....and no, the cache is not at the posted co-ords, but parking close by them will be a good idea.

To find the cache, whcih will be at S35 21.ABC E149 08.DEF, simply convert the letters of my clan into their numerical value, and then solve this equation:

S35 21.(1st letter -2) (3rd letter -10) (last letter -11)

E149 08. (4th letter) (1st letter + 2nd letter) (4th letter -1)

Not that hard really.....now use the checker to confirm and head out and find the cache.

Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers in the Callum Brae Reserve. A nice area to wander around. Puzzle was solved prior to arriving on the big isle so nice to be able to now get the smiley. TFTP

An easy find with a GC cache nearby. The good news is that the blackberries have been trimmed and poisoned. TFTC Very Happy

After finding the nearby cache, Autumn in the Brae, I walked my bike across country to this one. Lots of blackberries here; most tasty but dryish (more a mouthful of tasty seeds), so not worth picking. I picked lots of blackberries a few days ago elsewhere for bottling. It must have been a moister location, because they were juicer. I made a quick find of the cache. TFTC Sol de lune.

Have moved the posted co-ords so they are not sitting within private property.

Should all be good now.
 
We have had a second request to archive this cache because it is on private land.

"message: To whom it may concern, GA9392 titled "Down In The Brae" (S35° 21.218' E149° 8.591') in Symonston, ACT, is located on private land. I reported this in February 2017 but noticed that has remained open on your website. Because the property boundary can be confusing at this location, I have placed a number of private property signs on the fence line so there can be no doubt what is private and public land. On the location map, the area shaded green is public land whereas the unshaded area is private land."

I understand this is a wp for a puzzle and have explained that to the landholder.

Pls. contact me via email or the forums and I'll pass on the details of the landholder so it can be discussed.

Thanks SDL !!

GCA 1590. Found during a quick lunchtime run with minniek.

Had a few to make up for for the Xmas in July game so out we came to grab a couple of puzzle caches and some moveables. Managed to solve the puzzle and after a quick walk in the cache was in hand.

TFTC !!

Down this side of town with Black Bunny when we decided to grab a cache or two.

A quick find and thanks for another cache Sol.

Down near the Brae with Just a cacher today so dropped in to grab a cache or two much to the displeasure of the geohounds who had to remain in the car.

A quick find here today. Thanks for another cache Sol.

As I was in the area, I decided to wander over and check on this one. A quick find of now a rather familiar type of container.
Thanks Sdl for the cache and the fun.

Found on a massive but lovely walk through Callum Brae. Firstly, I'd just like to share my agreement that this spot is definately not on private property - what the heck was that about! This was a very easy solve before heading out this morning. After a huge walk, we could barely walk to this one, but luckily once we got there, it was a very quick find. You can't really make a hard hide out of such large containers! TNLNSL. TFTC SdL! Clan Cerberus

Not that I needed too, but I went out and checked the area, and the cache is NOT on any private property.

Attached are photo's showing the north, south, east and west aspects, and the cache is in no way on private property.

Cache on.....it's just one of about 25 caches I have in the this reserve.

F(H)ound It! - @3:15pm

Yep, the puzzle, it wasn't too hard.
I did not see the previous note from CraigRat but I can confirm that GZ is well inside Callum Brae and easily accessable and not on private property.
Another beaut container. Disturbed a couple of skippies nearby. Thanks for the cache, Sol de Lune.
 
Support has recieved a report that this cache is on private land (not sure if final or initial co-ords)

Can the owner please move or alter the listing so that people do not need to access private property.

Thanks

CraigRat

#GA1242 - 10:25; On my way to collect the CO for a caching mission to reclaim lost territory to the north and after refuelling the geomobile for the trip, stopped for this cache after a solve first up this morning. Parked in a familiar spot and made my way through familiar territory to GZ where I made a quick find, having only been beaten to the punch by the wily fox. Log signed, I was off to collect a few more as I made my way to the CO's den. TFTC Sol de lune Very HappyClan Cerberus

Slight problem with formula but CO sorted that. I was in the area though I'm not sure I will get points for this. To make up, CO thoughtfully provided ripe snacks at GZ. Will be hard to extract in a years time. Oh, did I mention FTF at 8:10 ish ????

Ready to go.....
