Despite my best efforts, this hide has gotton absolutley saturated and almost washed away. It may be best to pull it in.
What a beautiful spot. We found it in the dark to the sound of tens of fish jumping. They were attracted to the torch light. A large frog jumped into Mrs Chippyroo's leg! TFTC
We were a little uncertain about this one after reading the description as it sounded rather confusing, but we decided to give it a go anyway. We found the first waypoint and it soon became clear to us where the final cache hiding place was. We quickly made our way across the river and headed towards GZ and soon had the cache in hand.

Reading the description was a lot more daunting than the actual hide!
Arrived at WP1 only to find half the container. Phoned TheCashMan, and then saw the rest of the container (with the coords for GZ) in the grass while talking to him.
Wandered off to GZ, only to find water had penetrated the container in the recent rains.
GZ looks a lot prettier from Google Earth! Rather grubby and debris-strewn after the rains.
Dried it out as well as possible.
Left some toys. TNSL TFTC

Found this one with The-Don whilst on the Daft Invader tour of the Hunter.
Finally had a chance to get back and grab this one today.
This was an experience as it was my first flood proof container.
Another excellent container in a nice location.
It would be interesting to know how long that bridge has been there.
Thanks darth trader

Rated: for Overall Experience
With one of the geekology trio been claimed as sniffer dog due to his great way of being able to sniff out the finds quickly while the rest of use were mounting the powerbox. The smell was atroutious and nearly killed sniff with his advanced nose. The cache container was a bit of a laugh too and a great cache allround. The drive to get to the thing was the worst bit after driving around aberglassyn for an hour trying to find the correct road that didnt block us off. Patience paid off with 2 other woodies bunking out and going home. TFTC
Called into WP1 today whilst doing the rounds at work.
The smell of death was in the air, I think Darth Trader may have slayed someone with his light sabre.
I wasn't game to have a look what the smell was, just in case it was a body.
The next cacher can claim that FTF.
Didn't have time to find the cache today but I shall return.
Pick up a Darth Trader path tag from WP1.
Thanks

Visting from the USA and took newbies out for the first time to do some caching. They are hooked now. Nice country area for a cache. TFTC!!
#51 Found first waypoint quickly and spent about 15 minutes finding the excellent Cache. Picked up geocoin and LN SL TFTC
*FTF* number two for the round about trip home from work today. Found both WP quickly and really enjoyed the walk to GZ and a great container.
Thanks.
Thanks.
