TFTC!

totally awesome

Checked the bomb this morning and found it to be working perfectly. Some cachers are getting a bit nervous about being blown to smithereens. Nah, just a leeetle surprise .lift the canister to reach the terminals

We are on a road trip from the NSW/Vic border to Mandurah for a wedding and have spent the last three days caching around Albany and we are now heading to Augusta for the night via DenmarkI dont think the bomb had been reset properly from the last cacher and I tried to reset it as per the instructions but Im not sure that I did it correctly. Great cache and no wonder it has so many favourite points. A little further along the track, I ran into the CO and alerted him to the issue regarding resetting this one.

What an amazing case we died but loved it. Thank very much

Awesome cache but I died

GeowifeE blew us up while I was on the phone. Found on our trip from Hervey Bay QLD to WA Goes Big 2024.

Day #5. My last minute WAGB adventure continues today! Road tripping again. Ive now met up with Posums in Albany and we are off today on the much anticipated roymerc trail. Fun times ahead.Lets just say SWAT wont be calling my number anytime soon . What a fun experience. Fortunately no authorities were notified of our detonations. Cache log signed and another favourite for sure.A big thanks goes to roymerc for taking the time to add A Disarming Bomb to the geocaching map for us all to find and enjoy.----------------------------------------------------------Wow! The fun just never stops.Have you logged your will attend for Victoria's first ever Block Party? (Think Mega but even more special!)Join us on 22-23 March 2025 in Sunbury to celebrate 25 years of geocaching by logging your will attend at [**GCAP417**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).

I came over to WA last year for WAGB 23 and had such a great time so I decided to come back over again for this years events in Augusta.So after all of the planning with dates worked out my work decided that I could only have one week off so flying over was my only option.So I flew into to Perth and my first stop will be Busselton for 2 nights.It has been 47 years since I was in this part of WA and Im really looking forward to the re visit.Im making my way down the coast and picking out caches that look interesting to me.After spending a bit of time in Bunbury it was back to the Geo Rent a Car to continue along the coast and I then made it to Busselton.Day 4 of the trip.After caching around Busselton, Dunsbourgh and Cape Naturaliste I reached Albany for 3 nights.Caught up with Roaming Howie last night and a plan was hatched to head to Denmark today (the one in WA not the country) to tackle most of roymerc caches and any others that pop up.Made our way into here and I watched Roaming Howie blow himself twice which gave me much pleasure.We finally diffused the bomb and added our name to the log.Another fav to add to the list.Thanks roymerc TFTC

Find number 13800 at 1:57:45PM on Saturday the 7 September 2024We're on our way to WA Goes Big, travelling from Croydon (Melbourne, Victoria) with a caravan in tow and making a leisurely caching holiday across the Nullarbor and back.Today we're travelling a little down the road to Denmark to spend a day or two grabbing some of the roymerc caches around the area.The misses laughed, I laughed but the fact that we just blew each other up was OK because now we have another smilie **Thanks for placing this cache roymerc**---*WOW, so much happening here in Victoria*Dont forget to log your will attend for Victorias first ever Block Party in March 2025, the [**The Sunbury Event**](https://coord.info/GCAP417).Theres also all those lists of amazing geocaches at [Geocaching Victorias List webpage]( https://geocachingvictoria.com.au/information/great-caching-lists), go check them out.

Found it super cool tftc

I'm not sure bomb disarming is my thing, geez, sure did give me an experience, twice! Awesome cache and experience!Today was Gnowangerup down towards Denmark day. Leaving Gnowangerup it was a day of caching towards the select caches picked out. The roymerc caches had been highly recommended and called me for a visit. Sure was pleased we went, the quality and fun was worth the trip and experience of visiting them. Denmark has always been a favourite place of mine, so it's great to revisit and enjoy this beautiful area with it stunning scenery and a few nice walks. Dinner picked up in Denmark, it was out of town for a free camp. Nice quiet place by a creek, surrounded by power trails and a mild night quite good for a walk in the moonlight to collect a few. Quite unusual to hear so many birds at night, the magpies singing quite late. I've never heard them quite like they were here, nice though. Thanks for your cache.

We had a lot of laughs here. Losing fingers and someone also had an eye out. This is another famous must-do cache. We scratched our heads and went for the red herring too. Thank you again for another legendary cache.

I love the creative caches. I did blow myself up. TFTC SL

best one yet!

Found this with my grandson (Jamesknowlson) back when he found this for the first time. Setting up our own geocache account now, and he is helping us get off to a start by logging a few caches we found when over with him in AUS. These roymerc caches were simply incredible! Such a shame we didnt have longer to explore more. Thanks for your hard work, Roy!

Such a fun cache number one on my list of caches so far

That is awesome. Unfortunately I blew myself up and Junior cacher was horrified..

Oops we found the bomb blew one of us up but then on the second try managed to diffuse without any dramas . Love big caches (micros drive us nuts) if we had more time in Denmark wed be caching all day thanks for making yours so much fun!! TFTC

Ahahah so cool !! Genius in fact !! The Hilight of my journey in Denmark was doing Roymerc caches!! Thank you so much you are brilliant!!

It appears we more than qualify for the title of Corporal Muggins.. we even managed to blow ourselves up again resetting the bomb. Kids must love this cache, we did. TFTC roymerc, FP

Fortunately, our back-training in the Australian bomb squad and missile disarming team was able to be put to good use today along with our sniffer dogs and caching sniffer noses. We can report that all is safe here once again with the bomb disarmed and lets hope ASIO never reads this log!Thanks roymerc. That was a real hard starter! Adding a FP. Domsky

Great cache and had to bush bash a little bit but sadly couldnt disarm it TFTC highly recommend it for anyone near the area

Eloise and Georgie

Very scary. Nice scenery.

Its quite scary but once detonated its not that scary anymore - Ziggy 7y

Tftc

Another clever roymerc that just keeps surprising us! What a fun day out with so many clever and fun geos to be found! So spoilt for choice! Again, we were scratching our heads for a few minutes until we got it! Thank you romerc for placing and maintaining A Disarming Bomb for us and others to find and enjoy! Fave point added for your cleverness and fun! You are a genius!

OMG this is worth another fav point, Its too late to attempt WOW now so I guess I will need to return with family on tow sooner rather than later.You got usSo many caches, so little time, which do we chooseCanetoads and cockroach on holidays in the West TMac61 and Bliss BabyTFTC

Well we have made it to our final one that we can achieve today. It put the smile back on our dial, that missing the nearby WOW one took off. We parked in a slightly dodgy spot that has clearly been used before, by tennis players, even if it wasn't cachers. I was grateful for the comfort stop although my guess is that there is normally a lock on the door. We walked to GZ; for a change I even had appropriate shoes on. OMG this was so cool! Spotting it from a distance, RFC was soon at the right spot and started strong on solving. It startled us both a couple of times and well deserves all its fav points. Is been a fun day and i'm looking forward to dinner at the brewery as a way of winding down from the intentness of the day. tftc.

Terzo giorno nella bella Denmark. Giornata dedicata principalmente a questi magnifici manufatti, le cui lodi sono giunte a noi da innumerevole distanza. E le aspettative non sono state tradite, anzi!! Da modesto bricoleur ho creato diverse scatole con meccanismi a molla per rendere complicata l'apertura e pensavo di trarre qualche ispirazione per nuove invenzioni. Mi sono sentito piccolo piccolo vedendo cotanta magnificenza che mai potr raggiungere.Per fortuna di PF ne abbiamo abbastanza da elargire ad ognuno dei manufatti che abbiamo scoperto questa mattina. Complimenti!L'apertura ha richiesto qualche attimo di titubanza e un attimo di paura da parte di BA!Ciao e grazie. Secondo PF. #10869Third day in beautiful Denmark. A day dedicated mainly to these magnificent artefacts whose praises had reached us from far away. Our expectations were not betrayed, on the contrary!! A modest DIYer myself, I've created several wooden caches with spring mechanisms to make opening challenging and I was hoping to get some new ideas from roymerc. Seeing such magnificence, I felt dwarfed: I will never be able to reach these DIY heights!Luckily, we have enough Favs to lavish on each of the artifacts we discovered this morning. Our compliments!The opening required a few moments of hesitation and a moment of fear on BA's part!Hello and thanks. Second Fav. #10869

We died

Well what a blast! Yes it exploded haha. That was fun and we admire the work that goes into making and maintaining caches like this. Another fav pt. Tftc

Found it TFTC Found in good condition. No ribbons that we could see anywhere. So we bush bash our way to it. Unfortunately we were exploded . Good fun tricky for geo hubby big hand to reset it but all ready for the next disposal expert

Clever mission. Sadly we blew up before we disarmed it.

Nice one

First find. Kids are hooked

Boom

Great one for the kids, we all definitely got a fright when the bomb exploded. Tftc

Awesome

Sadly the bomb mechanism doesnt work any more but looks so cool in the forest

??

This cache was so much fun!! Thank you

TFTC. Took the Tennis club road initially but found the right track shortly after. We took a sneaky exit via the tennis court road. Very good cache!

Tftc!

I managed to disarm the bomb without alarm but when putting it back saw how the bomb works. Thank you for the excitement and fun, tftc and favo!

Love it

Unfortunately the bomb hadnt been rearmed for us, so we had to do it ourselves. Kind of reverse engineering it haha. Still fun to do, thanks roymerc.

That was great fun. Thanks!

Well that was a surprise! I wondered why AnyMules had a silly grin on his face - soon found out why! Love the thought that went into this!TFTC roymerc. Found on 28 Sep 2023 at 10:32. Find # 2754

Mr Parko was a little cautious with this and didn't get the desired effect at first. Very cool cache indeed. Thanks roymerc

Quick find once we stumbled through the bush for a bit. I think the adults were more impressed than the 6 year old. It wasn't armed but hopefully we have left it how it should be. TFTC

What a well made cache here, had a bit of a laugh but really enjoy how it all worked and the effort that had gone into it

In WA for 3 days, so I decided to hire a car and head south from Perth and drive around the wheat belt and back up the coast line. Day 2, after staying in Albany for the evening I headed off towards Busselton, first stop was Denmark to try and find all of the BYOB and a few other before making my way along the back roads finding a few caches along the way before caching around Busselton in the evening.

Thanks for the cache

Cool

Found with Dozenmater,TFTC

TFTC- found with rainygirl74

Fun

We had an afternoon free from work so decided to head out to find a few more of the wonderful roymerc geocaches. This was our last one for the day and like all the others, did not disappoint.

A favorite point for the effort in creating and maintaining this excellent adventure!

Thanks for find #4659

Booom!..again just great work here..cache and log in excellent condition but we did not make it..tftc

Great cache even though we might have been a little blown up on the first attempt. tftc

Awesome walk through the forest.. TFTC

So awesome! Of all your great caches I HAD to have a crack at this one and it didn't disappoint! Thank you for all you do for the caching community, roymerc!

Found a while ago but we couldn’t figure out how to set it off but today we went back and it worked and it actually made us jump thanks again for the cache The Bakers

Found it. Was so looking forward to finding this but was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t working. It would of been such a great cache to find if working.

Found it!

Checked cache and found that one of the activating cables had got snagged. Released that and bomb is working again, but no guarantee for how long. However I think I can fix it 'in situ'. So when I can find time I will front up with suitable tools and a folding stool and effect repairs. Just don't hold your breath.

Great little setup!

Arrived to find the bomb in peices. The information was later passed to the bomb master. This is another amazing cache.

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke für den Cache. Gracias por el caché. Bedankt voor de cache. Kiitos kätköstä. Zikomo posungira. Terima kasih untuk cache. Hvala cache. Köszönöm a cache. Nga mihi mo te keteroki. Dankie vir die kas.

SA’s Leap Year Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024. Can’t wait!!

I’ve just been told the bomb is broken. Offline until I can get around to inspecting the damage.

Loved it.

TFTC I think some of the ribbons have broken or fallen off but we still found it.

Found it
On holiday in Denmark and getting some smileys on the map.
Awesome cache, we'll done.

Easy to find but scared us

We got blown up! Send another bomb disposal unit! And tell them to watch out for spider webs! The yellow ribbons are orange now
We had lots of fun! It was very creative!

This was so much fun. We got blown all the way up! We couldn't see any yellow ribbons as noted in the description. We loved this cache. Made our day. Love & thanks!!

Probably one of my favourite caches so far!! Definitely should have worn enclosed shoes Super creative and well hidden. Kudos!

Fantastic! Love your caches

TFTC. Love your caches as they are always fun and challenging at the same time. Of course we managed to blow ourselves up but lived to tell the tale. Lucky we had a spare pair of undies A favourite point from us

Fantastic cache! Ingenious, creative and lots of fun. Thanks so much.

Walked through spiders for this!! Great hide and fantastic cache! Thanks

Bombs away. Thanks - great fun!

Amazing!

After a few years away from WA I decided to return and visit family living in the south west.

It had always been a goal of mine to visit Roy Merc territory and today I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to be here amongst some of the great caches offered.

I will spend NYE and NYD roaming the area collecting RoyMerc caches. It is why I decided to head down this way.

Another ingenious piece of work!! I thoroughly enjoyed “blowing myself up” and living to tell the tale.

This geocaching holiday has been an utter delight thanks to you Roymerc.

TFTC TAD

Found it! Great fun!

This was awesome TFTC

In my four years of caching this is probably my favourite. I loved it. Ron you have done it again. TFTC it is amazing

Amazing! Frightened the life out of the kids

tftc

That was fun. Unfortunately I blew us up

Worked it out just a bit late!

What a fun find. when planning the road trip this was a must find cache and it lived up to expectations. Thanks for your efforts with putting this together and maintaining it.

Out with DishwasherAirlines doing WA’s best caches. This is WA’s most faved cache so was on my geo-bucket list. Love it. We got it right first time and so after signing the log we detonated it for fun. My find number 519.

Found it! Cool! We made it explode for fun!

The most fun cache I've ever seen

We found our way in to the bomb and started to diffuse it. So far…. So good. We fell gif the bait and wasted a lil time, but that was ok because we could breathe, lol. Ready to run we started again. As luck would have it we disarmed the bomb without it going off. More breathing!! As we were resetting it that’s when it went off!! A fave point from me. It’s a rippa!!

We arrived in Albany last night and decided we would head to Denmark today. This cache was on our list. It went off as we were resetting it. A great place for a well constructed cache. Tftc
