I am archiving this cache due to the unfortunate lack of action taken to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, ~Tango~, requesting additional time.Despite ample opportunities provided for the Cache Owner to respond, their silence leads me to the conclusion that the cache has been abandoned.In such cases, archived caches will not be unarchived, and as a result, this location is now open for the placement of a new cache by another interested party.Thanks,BalayangCommunity Reviewer - Australia

##Cache Maintenance Required please.##This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs. The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on. When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided. If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Thank youBalayangCommunity Reviewer -Australia

Reviewer attention clearly required here

Maintenance needed. This geocache hasn’t been found since June 2022 with multiple DNF.

Unfortunately this was a DNF for us also which is a pity after such a interesting walk admiring all the historic buildings.

Found the buildings and numbers but no luck with cache

Followed the clues, found the coordinates but did not find cache

I attempted to find on a trip to the west from South Australia.

I last visited and cached in this area around three years ago, but there have been plenty of new caches of interest to me since then, so I thought a return visit was in order.

After camping at the Porongorups last night, I made my way to Albany, hunting out a few target caches.

Unfortunately I was unable to find this cache.

Thanks anyway ~Tango~.

TFTC with Never2old

Day Three of our Albany road trip collecting a few smilies along the way . Since we decided to play it safe and hopefully covid free in our own state. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining their caches for others to find , tftc

Had this solved for ages and was finally had the chance to pick it up. TFTC

Found during our trip down to Albany for WAGB 2021. Cheers ~Tango~!

This is my 564 find.
Thank you ~Tango~ for you placing and maintaining this cache.

Really enjoyed this one!

Arrived in Albany just after lunch for WA Goes Big. The Machman and I dropped past here. Quick find once at GZ. TFTC

Sneaky buggers

Found it some photos in log have nothing to do with the cache at all smh

Tftc

Tftc, love the puzzle solved with geokid from the comfort of a home computer but a smiling face on location

I solved this puzzle using a more modern method over a year ago. Unfortunately we were never able to pick up the cache as our travel plans changed due to covid. Finally visiting Albany today, I was excited to pick up the final. TFTC tangowithcupcake

This was a fun puzzle that I enjoyed collecting the information for, a favourite. A quick find at GZ with hardly anyone around. Thank you for the cache tangowithcupcake!

Joint find with Jdogandpuppy

Very nice geocache! We enjoyed looking for hints on the old walls in Albany Rayen & Claudio

Was a good walk

This one was a little tricky to figure out but after a little help from @jamesknowlson I was soon on my way to where the coordinates were leading me. Was hidden well and easy to find. TFTC tangowithcupcake

There’s not much paint left on the tin but it’s lasted this long so it must be somewhere people don’t look. There was no problem getting prime parking position this afternoon. Thanks.

Cool Geocache to make you take notice of the buildings you walk past every day. tftc

Found on a little caching trip with VespistOz.

TFTC

Wow! We can count - just takes us old.ladiea a bit longer.

After a scoot around yesterday evening while all was quite, we had a look at the photos and checked out the old buildings along the Terrace.
Such Olde world charm.
After doing some number crunching, last night, we came up with some co-ords, though a little hesitant about the placement of gz, but we were happy to come up trumps with the cache in hand for a smiley here today.
A fav point for the history )

Thanks for this awesome cache. It was so much fun. Definitely a favourite. Joint find with nerinonickers.

What awesome buildings Albany has. Architecture at its finest. Thank you for a very enjoyable walk. Joint find with stus*crew...

Hi there ~Tango~.

We found your cache **"London to Edinburgh via Stirling"** at 12:03:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 23925).

We're staying in Albany for a few days, and today we decided to attempt a few caches around the Port and town area.. We found 5 caches & DNF'd 0.

Thanks for placing this cache here. Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around 3m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thank you ~Tango~ for adding to our adventure.

Regards

Ian & Penny

Found while visiting Albany on my Christmas road trip.
I enjoyed the walk from London to Edinburgh, and back, and then back again, collecting all the clues.
I stopped and had a break to solve the final coordinates before I realised I hadn't collected YZ. It took me another full walk to London and back before I realised I had been literally right next to it where I'd stopped before!
I couldn't find the cache at the final coordinates on my first attempt. But after double checking and checking the hint I came back early the next morning when it was much quieter and soon found it this time.
Thanks for a great cache.

This one was done with the nieces who really enjoyed solving the clues. TFTH.

Completed puzzle and made a quick find TFTH

We did the hard work for this one using street view. It took forever. We would have done it by just walking the street while down here.
The cache coordinates were good and we found the cache easily.
Thanks for the interesting cache idea.

YES!
After wanting to get around to doing this cache since I upgraded to premium I finally set off this morning on a bike ride caching trip with this one on my list. This was the last find of the day and took a little while. After the penny dropped with the name (which took wayyy to long) we seemed to be racking up numbers rather quickly. Always love the suspense when you go to the cords you worked out praying there is a cache there. A massive sigh of relief when we saw the little cache hidden all snug.

TFTC

Enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Cosi Cafe before zooming in on this one. TFTC tangowithcupcake

Last time we were in Albany we ran out of time to do this one as intended, but since then we had used some modern technology to help us with our calculations We got stuck on one but the location was narrowed down considerably! After having a pub lunch not far from here we decided to go take a look see & whattya know, we pulled up right next to the correct location (according to the hint). Jase was able to retrieve the logbook & add our names before continuing on to see what else we could find around here

TFTC & the fun puzzle tangowithcupcake

Did this at night while waiting for a friend on the bus. Great cache.

Suscoe was having an Albany day today.
The morning started out warm and muggy but by late afternoon some cloud rolled in and it looked misty across the hills and bay.
We had a delightful time wandering the streets and roads of the Albany area finding a range of caches and taking in the old town, the harbour redevelopment and the nearby countryside.
It is certainly a pretty town and we met a few friendly folks on our travels.
Thanks to tangowithcupcake for this really interesting look at the historical buildings.
We made the journey from London to Edinburgh via Stirling without too many hiccups.
Then we sat admiring the harbour while we did the sums.
Cache found promptly at GZ.
A favourite for all the right reasons.
What great old buildings.

TFTC

So much fun! Tftc

Tftc good fun

Enjoyed this one. Thanks Tango, for all your work.

Found eventually TFTC

I managed to get all the numbers I needed before it got too dark. Checked into my hotel and then made the short walk to the cache. It was fully dark by the time I got to the cache but my phone light gave enough illumination for me to spot the container. Thanks for this interesting and informative cache tangowithcupcake.

Quite a long trip but it is there!

Loved this wander through the historic part of Albany, taking special notice of the buildings. Deserves a favourite. TFTC

Tftc on a weekend run

Tftc found on a over night trip to albany

A great multicache especially for kids! Thanks for entertaining us on a walk through albany. Now to head to the markets for some coffee and donuts! Thanks for the effort that went into making this cache!

Great cache, loved the challenge. Kids had a blast! Tftc.

Really enjoyed this cache. Love the old buildings and the history they hold. Answers were found fairly easy the hardest part was getting the muggle husband to drive up this street a couple times so I could get the answers. Cache located easily and is in good condition. Tftc.

Some of the buildings have changed a little bit in character, but this only added to the puzzle of working it all out. Justjessie did this one after hours after a great meal nearby. TFTC

Found with O319 on our trip to WA. TFTC! Enjoyed a stroll around after dinner looking at all thd buildings. Quick find at GZ.

Tftc. That was excellent.

Here from outta town for a gig at Ent Cent last night and grabbing a few random GCs where I can. Fun little puzzle to get me out looking around this mornin. TFTC!

Bit of detective work with the Sneaky Dragons paid off. Good fun walking the streets admiring the buildings.

Very interesting about this one - long way - finally signed the log with some help!!! Thanks to ~Tango~ [^]

TFTC! Found on a long weekend tripwire Cravo10 to Albany to celebrate WA caching 15th birthday bash at the Gilcreek scout group.

Special thanks to tango for hosting and all of the local cachers for their hospitality and new caches. Thanks

Long weekend event down in Albany. Stayed a few nights at the Gilcreek scout camp. Found a few different types and cleared the map with a few more smiles. TFTH TFTC

Have been meaning to do this one for a while, loved walking up and back to get the numbers and were not sure if we had correct co-ords or not but decided to give it a go anyways! Took us a bit but scoped it out after broadening our search! Great cache with a lot of effort put in to create deserves a favorite from us! Tftc!

Finshed at last!! We have been chipping away at this cache for the last couple of visits to Albany. We return to day to claim or smile. A fantastic cache ~Tango~ a favourites point from us.

I set about finding this cache a few days ago, but failed miserably due to the 'smart phone' being such a useless item for displaying pictures in daylight

So I headed back to camp and 'cheated'

A certain online company who's name begins in G,
has wonderful photos and information available online to provide all the info about traveling from London to Edinburgh that you could ever need

Today I was back on Stirling on the bike.
Me coords for this caches hiding spot had a confidence factor of 11 out of 10.
A previous finder's piccy satisfied me that me coords were the right ones

So from the bike I headed to a spot that I had virtually visited already [:o]
And there in the first place I looked,
I found the cache

TFTC and a bit of history to boot [^]
Easy find on a Sunday morning !!
But I can't help feeling that there is something fishy about this cache [:o]

Another Awesome Albany cache! Picked this one up after a delicious dinner at Rustlers and the need to burn off a few calories! TFTC!

Loved this puzzle. I'm notorious for forgetting my pen on early morning salks/searches. Photo attached and will return with pen! Tfth and the walk.

That is for the find

Easy found on our way across Albany. Greetings from Switzerland Magirus

Was awesome looking at all the beautiful buildings this end of town. Enjoyed this cache.

Nice stroll through town to find these buildings, then had a little search for the cache at the GZ

Finally got around to doing this one. Nice walk out and about on a nice Saturday afternoon with Wandering Weston's.

This has been on my radar for ages and finally got around to doing it with 35degreesSouth! Thanks for the cache!

Nice puzzle - thankyou

Oh dear, have fallen behind on my logging, again. Found this one on my last Albany trip. Having gone up and down this street innumberable times, I thought it was about time to find this cache. Have to admit I found it using unorthadox means though. Thanks for the cache ~Tango~

Headed out early to grab some of the caches around Albany township before the muggles were out and about.

This was a bit of a bonus as it was found in company with the CO. A great street of lovely heritage buildings well worthy of a closer look.
Thanks for the cache and the Albany tour Tango.

Found TFTC

Got a little stuck on the way but persistence prevailed thanks for the hide

Find 13 of 30 on a road trip from Denmark to Albany and surrounds.
Mrs. O., for a change, liked the look of this puzzle. She solved it as a desk-based exercise before our trip down. Our GZ didn't seem to add up when we arrived though, so we had to do some rapid re-calculations and came up with a better one which we had passed on foot earlier on today. At this second GZ a quick find was made.
TFTC ~Tango~!

found with crank1, whitepaws9 and laker63
Thanks

Caching day with my partner on our own way.
It was fun for me and last day for today back to Caravan Park
Found it
Thanks Tango

Found it nicely.
Thanks Tango for the hunting and cache.

Thank you to my geopartner who assisted in locating some of these buildings as most have had a face life recently.

Very public. Good treasure map but

Still there after theANZAC celebrations. Thanks for making me take a closer look at all the buildings in Stirling Tc.

Day one of our week in Albany and spent most of the day walking around the centre of town before a mid afternoon rest and then a leisurely drive around the harbour picking up a few caches and doing some recon for the next few days

We really enjoy this type of cache as it gets you to really look at the buildings and understand some of the history and architecture. This cache was no different and we had a great time traveling from London to Edinburgh with a stop in Glasgow on the way. We fell into a bit of a trap in Glasgow but worked that out and had some final co-ords for GZ which proved to be OK.

Thanks for the cache tangowithcupcake [^] - a favourite point for an enjoyable discovery of Albany (despite all the scaffolding )

Found it. This was an easy but fun find, catching a piece of albanys past along the way

Cool!!! Love these clue search caches! Found it with Hally4

This was quite an entertaining cache. We located some facades easily and others presented more of a challenge. We walked the area three or four times before we managed to gain all the information we needed. We were even asked by one of the local workman if we needed any help as he was concerned we were lost! From there the calculations were made and we were on our way to GZ where we made a quick find thanks to the clue. Few muggles about so retrieval and return was quite simple.
Thanks for the effort and time that has gone into creating this cache, even down to the name. A very worthwhile activity that took us round the historical buildings in the area and encouraged us to examine it more closely. Our modern shopping complexes just don't seem to have the soul that this area does.

[Blue]# 10601 Found on the WA leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
We had all day today to find a few more caches while staying in Albany for a few days.
Lots of clues for this one and once I had the info it was a hasty dash to GZ.
Hardly any muggles around and a good safe hide again.
Thanks for the cache again tangowithcupcake,

Great idea good fun 2nd puzzle we have solved

While in Albany visiting my daughter, son in law and the kids we found time to take this walk along the forshore and discover some of the old buildings in Albany. Really enjoyed this short and made the very quick find at the end. Checked out the PO cache at the same time. This morning it was topped of with coffee and cake opposite the WA University while enjoying at looking at some of the local art work.
Thanks for the cache tangowithcupcake and the event.

The first full day in Albany with BettyBoo3747. The weather was a bit indifferent, soaking and baking us at various times, but always warmish.
We went up and down many hills that we were very glad we weren't on the deadly treadlies!
We had actually solved this one at home, but walked up and down the street and checked out all the old facades anyway.
Interesting spot for GZ - we were glad it was a Sunday morning and so fairly quiet.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 5834. Robmc and I arrived in Albany late yesterday so today is our first full day trying to locate caches in strange weather. One moment rain, the next moment sunshine. I could be home in Melbourne for this weather.....

The first of your caches for me - I am sure there will be many more to come. This one was solved before we came over here but I love this old street (I have been here many years ago). A stroll past all the diggings and off to GZ we go. A nice quick find of a rather blatant hide. I like those!!

Thanks tangowithcupcake
