Botany Bay By Bike #2 Brighton-Le-Sands, New South Wales, Australia
By The Hancock Clan on 03-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2B5C1

We've decided it's time to let these ones go. Too much maintenance & downsizing containers etc to just plain micros is below our standard of hide, and besides some of the vegetation in places is getting damaged. We will be removing the containers and any trackables shortly. Thanks to all those that have found them.

Found today with no pen. Safe but damp. Yes there is a TB in it still.

Quick grab on the way home.... Dropped off TB. Cache safe but damp. TFTC.

Found it. Something needed repairs on the cache. Made repairs as best as possible. Signed log. Tnln. Tftc.

Had to wait for muggles but then quick trip down the bank soon had cavhe in hand

Came back today with Jendid and her baby grandson. Too much overgrowth and erosion. Co, would you pls relocate the cache to avoid damage to natural vegetation pls?

Nice quick find with Bluewattle, TFTC

Found with Snickersallan, bit of a challenge for us today

Attempting the whole ride today - and the Sutherland Cycleways one too. Loved this one! What a great, simple idea! Will be using that in the future!

Thanks Hancock Clan ^_^

Was staying at a nearby hotel and needed to get a cache to keep up my daily cache, so targeted this one. I actually found it yesterday fairly easily. I spied something that looked promising before I climbed down the bank and I was relieved to find it was indeed the cache.

But the log was so sodden no logs could be made out or added, so I took the liberty of removing it and adding a new log in a plastic bag. Perhaps if future loggers replace the log in the bag and seal it, it might not go the way of the previous log!

Thanks Hancock clan for the cache and the series!

Thanks AngelG27 for replacing the log today. I also stopped by later & added the necessary clue to find the final

Some days you just need to stop for a cache on your way home.....

Nice easy find, log is sodden and unsignable.

6241 Caches Found

Rumbled down the thin black line again late last night through the Big Smoke towards Botany Bay hoping to pick up a few caches in the Rockdale, Arncliffe and Brighton Le Sands districts in the cool of the evening. Thanks to all who made my evening memorable, Thanks for the adventure


Thanks for the great cache The Hancock Clan(8D)

Very clever hide. Dropping off a trackable so he can watch the planes fly by.

Log book is sopping wet.

Hunted up and down the bank to no avail.

This morning seemed like great excuse for a bike ride to attempt to complete this series and obtain the clues that i had forgotten to get the first time around. Great to ride along this pathway TFTC

I keep a rain check for this one... After some serious cactus spikes got into my legs I called it a day.

My first cache!!!! How exciting!

Cache found

Easy to find. Beautilful spot, thanks.

A nice stash, thanks for the show. Regards says Moorhelmi

The kids found this one, I was searching in all the wrong places. TFTC!

fell Down the bank =( but still found the cache so it's all worth it in the end

23/07/14. 12:07 PM. Cache #1726. Last of 4 caches today, and my second of this BBBB series. It's highlighted on the GC website as a beginner cache, but it took me quite a while to find. Reading past logs helped me look at the right level, where I finally got my Aha moment. Sneaky one, Hancocks. TFTC }:)

Tftc

Iveski + Crawshaw

First ive seen like this hehe
Thank goodness the back was so steep middle of the day had us a little exposed

Found on a windy Friday afternoon stroll. A quick scramble and soon had CIH. Took a small ladybird peg and left a vintage 1964 Australian Penny in it's place. TFTC.

F yeah baby I found it!

Found another one lovely day.

Geokids found this one! Thanks will come back to finish these ones...fantastic location. We forgot how nice botany bay can be.

Returned to day with a definite resolve to find. Found in about 3 minutes. Nice hide. Visited a TB. This completes the Botany Bay Bike series for me. TN Left a small peg and a few craft items as the cache was rather empty. Thanks for the series The Hancock Clan...enjoyed the experience .

Yayay omw to number 3

Cache found with a slightly damp log.. ADI.. You tell me to be stealthy.. TFTC

Found on Saturday, 14 June 2014
GC Buddy: PK1965
Cache condition: good
Log condition: good

A quick park and grab...
I spotted the cache while Pappa p searched the yard... or bank! I found a cracked and discarded phone, which was probably discarded by some illegal dealers... which I picked up, took home and opened up to investigate a phone's parts!
Pappa P found a golf stick which looked intact!

TFTC

Definitely spent too much time looking down! Great cache

Came back this morning wrote in log book, left geocoin OCE95K and flames money clip from Canada. Happy mothers day to all the mums out there.

Found it, but besides having no pen there were too many muggles around to be able to write in the log, we are staying nearby, will have to come back in the morning and try and write in the log then, BTW your shoes may get dirty. TFTC

Finally found this fella. Thanks for the cache.

A short trip down the bank and the cache was in hand. Lovely spot. TFTC

Had to get up early for a walk on such a beautiful morning. Really nice cache, well made. Thankd

Very lovely place.. I wish I have a bike..

Beautiful afternoon for a bike ride.

Oh no! I think I was way too confident that this cache would be easy pickings. With the sun setting fast couldn't make the find. It's okay. Next time hopefully!

Yebo , bus no 303 brought me here to walk the grande parade and to grab this cache
Good to listen to the birds and waves !
After those heavy rains the bank is a bit slippery to approach the cache

second find for the day on a geocaching expedition with my GeoBro who had the nous for this one! I was totally coming from the wrong angle - it just pays to have a second pair of eyes and a second brain, otherwise I don't think I would have got this. Nice hide, Hancocks, TFTC

Well done Hancock Clan. TFTC

Certainly helps looking from a different angle

Quick find.

Moving slightly

Stopped by and checked on this one today. Decided to move it slightly

Nice hide. Thanks for the cache.

Awesome 4th time lucky with geo sis .... shes hooked.

After some time of searching finally we got there

TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

First cache find.made the rookie mistake of forgetting a pencil. Great little find. Left contents for next person tftc

Quick find with Justjessie, TFTC.

Found with O319. TFTC

This one was easy enough with no muggles about to interfere in the drizzly rain. Signed log at 12:30pm and continued the long walk.

thanks The Hancock Clan

I tried this one once before with no luck, but today I spotted it in a few moments. Kawasaki TB visiting. TFTC.

What a great and tricky cache! Not what I was expecting, was lucky to spot it from the right angle Great view of planes taking off from here!! Picked up the Geocache Junkie thermometer TB and dropped off Ned Kelly TB - hopefully someone can move him on to the US. Tftc!

My first geocache in Australia; hopefully not my last. I dropped off a nice geocoin from Germany. TFTC and go'day!

Goodness me! Even when armed with the new toy I still couldn't find this! must have been poking around a good 20 minutes and looked awfully strange to passing muggles but still nothing! Not having much luck today... thanks Hancock Clan for the walk - will have to try again another weekend.

Came for a visit and to move on "make it so" trackable

31 days of geocaching now complete! Feeling pretty proud that me, the geotoddler and geopreschooler achieved the challenge. Thanks for another clever cache Hancock Clan and for motivating me to get out walking again today. TB still there.

Thankful for the cover........ although felt a little suspicious emerging from the bushes !

TFTC!

This was my last one in Sydney.
Thanks to all cachers placing boxes out there.
I had a great time and I will come back!!!

Took a little while to find this one as the muggle population was rapidly increasing.

Dropped off American Flag Travel Bug. It has a mission to visit America I think.
Taking it to Perth would slow it down so leaving it here to see if any local cachers can move it on to the local departure lounge.

After the last two I was expecting much of the same. The weeds are a bit rampant down there. Lots of obvious hidey holes, and rocks which was not to be. Nice hide, found within minutes. Mrs Luna Maya has one similar cache to this but with a smaller container.

Thanks guys...

Oh saw the pathtag, but had nothing on me to exchange for it. car was too far away!

Next time I am over I will exchange with a LM pathtag if it is still there.

Thanks guys........on on!

A quick diversion on the way to the airport. My first of this series. Nice hide.

Dutch family on vacation... travelling from Melbourne to Cairns. Visiting as many caches as possible on the way... Thanks for this one. TFTC.

Before heading off to home tried this one. seem to have a little trouble with my GPS it seems to get within 15 mtrs and I have to turn it off and on again to get itto move closer to GZ.But it did work and got close and finally saw GZ.

Thanks Acko

TFTC!

Took mouse TB. Will bring it for a trip. Good cache for TB.

Following the evident cachers-track still it took a second to find this
one - good hide! TFTC - we left the TB: mouse on safari here, and hope
it has a good further trip.

A very nice hide, this had me scratching my head for awhile well done. Tftc

CacheKarma is with me today - found it straight away. Nice hide though!

The geo-men stayed on the grass watching the A380 taking off while the girls went to find the cache. We were puzzled for a while scraping through that wretched wandering jew but just as we were about to give up, we found it. A very clever hide. We left our pathtag and a small frog. What a beautiful day to be out riding around Botany Bay. Thanks for the cache, Hancock Clan.

After dropping my son at the airport for an early morning flight, I decided to tackle some of the caches in this series.

I failed in the dark and rain at #1 but had success here. Once the rain stopped it was light enough to attempt this one and, although bamboozled at first, I soon found the cleverly concealed cache.

SL, TFTC The Hancock Clan.

Found on an after dark raid with SB69 and geowife. TNLNSL TFTC

Tricky cache but great hide tftc

My my what a tricky hide ended up almost brain in myself on a few tree! A good eye is definitely a very good option here TFTC!

That's a cool spot

Fun cache TFTC

Sore head after bumping on over head branch. Log wet, no pen. My first solo find. TNLN.

1:51 pm Quick and easy, especially after #1. Clever hide. Log was a bit soggy, though, and it was a good thing I brought along my own pen. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Hanging!

Good hide

Was looking down then read last log and pulled thirsting and found it

Clever

second time lucky..first time I wasted time getting down and dirty! try eye level.

Plenty of cover thank goodness. Was wondering how I was going to do this without being sprung as there are so many muggles.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Found it, got 2,3,4,5,6,7 just need 1 and the bonus is mine lol.

Last of five finds for the day, which is pretty good for us (with two geokids and a geobaby in tow). There was a couple sitting in their folding chairs under a tree directly opposite GZ, just watching the world go by - don't know what they made of our behaviour. Geohusband is pretty good at spotting nifty hides like this one.

Had a meeting over at Yagoona in the morning which wrapped up about 12:30, with the next meeting being 2pm near the airport it wasn't worth going back to the Chatswood office. So drove down to sit on the shores of Botany Bay to watch the planes come and go while having lunch. Of course I decided to park opposite a cache, so after a roll and being pestered by seagulls I went down the slope to find the cache. A lot quieter here on weekdays, and I was able to find it after a quick search with nobody around. Grabbed one of the travel bugs then off to the meeting. Thanks to The Hancock Clan.

Targetted this one last night but was muggled off by a couple of elderly gentlemen who had clearly decided this was a great place to hide from the missus ... And who could blame them on such a great night. After hanging around for a while, decided to come back later after hunting for a few more caches. An hour later and the gents were still hanging around so I decided to call it an evening. Dropped by again this morning and was able to score the smilie. Felt a bit odd hanging around underneath the undergrowth, with quite a few walkers going past, but all ended well. Dropped off two TBs - Ratman and Travel Bug Dog Tag (8-ball). TFTC!

Santa's son....Hmm I love it... Real sneaky.... Nice view of the bay...tnlt

This was nicely hidden so took a little while to see. The biggest problem around here was parking and waiting for walkers to pass. Took a TB, thanks for a good hide.

Found with marcobartoli on our Sydney vacation Thanks for the cash
