Basil's Light Cipher Red Hill, Australian Capital Territory, Australia
By Agent Basil on 19-Jan-17. Waypoint GA9552

I have been going out each day for exercise, finding either a cache, or a WP for an AL; resisting finding them all at once. Hard that, when walking past them . For some time, I had been avoiding finding some local caches, in case there was a lockdown, 'banking' them, so to speak. Well I am now raiding the 'bank'. The others I have cycled to, staying in a five km range. It's a week though since I started the car and to avoid a flat battery I took the car out for a drive and parked at the base of Red Hill and then walked up, through the bush, for exercise. Lots of wattle and hardenbergia in bloom. I passed a couple of young guys working away in the bushland, and I wondered what they were up to. Thinking more about it, I suspect they were making jumps for bikes.
I had no problem spotting the cache on arrival. The cache and log are good. I found some extra covering to hide it better. Then I headed off towards the road, logging the trig in passing. I walked down the road back to my car, ignoring a couple of other caches that I passed. They can be another outing. Several other people walking up here for exercise as well, and a few bikes on the road.
Thanks for help with this one, and TFTC Agent Basil.

Out with Just a cacher for a cache maintenance run and we decided to grab a cache or two while we were out and about.

A quick find here today.

Thanks for the cache Agent Basil.

I went for a walk with Black Bunny in the freezing cold and found a few caches.

Thanks, Basil!

During an after work caching session, I was happy to collect a few GAs including a puzzle or two. Nice caches.

Thanks

Top views from GZ. Never been here before so thanks for showing me another great spot in the ACT.

lovely shady spot to have a seat. TFTC

GCA 1578. Found this one this afternoon after attending the nearby Event.

Always enjoy a run up Red Hill. I had solved this one a while ago so knew where GZ was. A simple short walk in once we parked in a familiar spot. Nice Puzzle !

TFTC !!

922. I was scrolling through the easy puzzles working them out as I went and then this one.

Blank. Blink. Blink. Still blank.

Left it alone and came back a few days later to solve it as quickly as it should have been in the first place. Grey cells are really struggling by the looks.

Absolute favourite cache of the day because of the Basil Special view.

TFTC AB and the saber.

A nice short but hot wander to this one with some droopy winged magpies watching on while I signed the log book.
Thanks AB for the "Light" cipher. Kinda glad it wasn't full strength!!!!

Toot toot - a quick jaunt down to Red Hill to collect some caches. TFTC Agent Basil!

Found on a very early morning GCA run before going to the movies on a hot summer day. After using a method that I've used before, the coordinates were obtained reasonably quickly. Once we parked in the right position, it was a very short and familiar walk to GZ, for a very quick find. Lovely views from around here, especially in the morning! TNLNSL. TFTC AB!

Found on a Saturday morning cache run following ParkRun at LBG. I am busy for the rest of the weekend so headed out to pick up some points for the SSH. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache - ants nearly ate me alive!

#GA1213 - 15:00; I saw this one pop up earlier in the day when it was published, so I set to work on a solution. I managed to wrangle a reasonable set of coords, but the checker didn't like them. Eventually contacted the CO, who confirmed I was on the right track, so I tried again and voila, managed to conjure a more agreeable set of coords. This was the second stop for the afternoon and when I located the cache, I found a nice clean logbook for a surprise *FTF*. I ran into Sol de lune who was just arriving as I was leaving, so I'd made it in the knick of time. Nice cache in a nice location. TFTC Agent Basil

With a trip down south imminent, I wanted to head out and grab this today. Arrived at the parking area...only to see LuckyL10n on his way back from GZ. No great problem with that...just glad to make the find.

A cipher that I know a little bit about, so getting the details after the little hiccup and before a road trip, was a neat bonus.

Thanks Basil...I thought the barb wire at GZ was a nice touch.
