Botany Bay By Bike #6 Sandringham, New South Wales, Australia
By The Hancock Clan on 03-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2B5CD

Found after looking around at GZ thought I must check somewhere else, yes there is was, the log was wet. Thanks to The Hancock Clan.

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.

Log wet so we didn't sign it. We also couldn't fine the tool but had a screw driver in the car. Thanks for hiding it.

opening tool jammed, good disguise

Nice spot although we could not open this! tftc

Lovely little path. Great for a ride, although we drove. Caution: muggles.

Couldn't get it open but well hidden

TFTC very clever JetKat found with Bethden

The opening tool is jammed. Lu
cky I had a screw driver in the car.

Found it with Bethden

Found with geocabching daughter. Lovely spot.

Looked through the car to find an implement to open it

Once opened realised it came with its own implement

On location for work today so I decided to grab a few caches while down here #1 for today!

Greetings from Alabama USA! TFTC! Added to favs.

Not what i expected. Good fun. Tftc. Found with karly lily matty and Pippa

Found if after 30 mins. We used a car key to undo to screws. Overall a great geocache!

Great cache hard to find

Found with Bluewattle, luckily we had our special tools of the trade, TFTC

Found with Snickersallan, improvised using another special geo tool

Attempting the whole ride today - and the Sutherland Cycleways one too. Wasn't sure how this one fit in with the rest of the Botany Bay By Bike Caches, though when arriving, it was made evident that this is itself another pathway or ride I suppose.

Now this, this cache was a favourite! such a clever disguise! Loved it a lot!

Thanks Hancock Clan ^_^

Success on a return visit!

Brought my own tool just in case.

TFTC

Boy oh boy you Hancocks really did give me a tricky day today. Not a muggle in sight, perfect opportunity for hunting, but I couldn't get this one either. Maybe I should have stuck to the walking today.

Checked on this one today armed with a replacement tool but decided the old one was fine; I had no trouble opening it. Just don't tighten it too much for the next finder please

Very cleaver. Easy find with screwdriver intact TFTC.

Good hide. Nice views of the salt marsh. Credit to my partner for the find. Tftc

Found it but need tools

Found it! You DO need a screwdriver. Previous finder did the cache up to tight to use improvised screwdriver (car keys)

Lucky my car key is square and flat. Signed log and safely back in its place. Down south to see an old friend and so I'm taking time to revel in the local caches. TFTC

I didn't prepare for todays geocaching tour. But the simple novepty item on my keyring was just what I needed to open this cache.
Thanks.

The included tool is broken- you can still do it if you bring your own screwdriver

Nice hide. Good continuation of Shire Cycleways as an add onto come over the river! TFTC. No screwdriver so no signature this time.

Today we came back with the right tools and opened the treasure chest. Three letters down, three to go!

Left a trashy.

Yeah first for a day of birthday caching happy birthday RBK86

Awesome find! Hint is important!

Have a screwdriver handy

Bit of struggle to open it but we did!

Dirty job

Found but not signed.... Yet!

In light of recent logs, please note that you do not need to bring your own tools to open the cache. If you fiddle with the container you should find what is required to gain entry!

Tftc
Absolute Genius
Hint is great

Nice cache, found with Ana-Kormas, came back for the second time today, the first time we couldn't open it, so we came back with a screwdriver TFTC

Tftc
Great hiding spot
U need a screwdriver
Clue is very important

Found it and the travel bug. Moved it to a near location.

Yay!!!

Found it after a year of searching, it looks like it should be there but really there is no power source !

Crawshaw and iveski found
Did a travel bug swap tftc

Great hide. Love the creativity. Found a trackable. Not registered for this location. Its on the move again

First class urban camouflage - really enjoyed finding this one. TFTC.

Finally found it after like weeks of looking!!

white where we first looked but didn't think it was a cache! clever

Found with my geobros Salem and Concorde on a trip to the city. Quick easy find congrats to Concorde for spotting this one tftc.

Totally out classed at this stop with Rios claiming the find well before WC and I (too much socialising not enough looking lol TFTC

Found with my geomates Salem and Rios on a trip to the city. Quick easy find this one was tftc.

Found with Beckatoza. No tools required. Very very creative

Found with Irvanky. Loved it

Thank god for the hint on this one!!

Another great find with ADI awesome

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

This cache was the one and only cache that I have logged a DNF on twice! Both times with Muggle Nik.
This time, while pk1965 and I were doing night caches, we had powerful torches... and as we searched under the structure, the cache reflected back with positivity! I had a HUGE *facepalm* moment ! Should have found this earlier!

Nice camo, THC! We got the code and set off to find the bonus cache!
TFTC!
FP for making me scratch my head, at GZ, twice before finding cache!

This was our first find on the weekend! Great fun for everyone, very well placed, thanks for the challenge!!!

Lucky I am not too big! and there was no-one above me! TFTC

Clever hide, though as a non-native of Australia, all I can think of is those snakes I've read about when I crawl around in areas like these.

Yeah found this one third time around. A huge thankyou to the hancock clan for updating hint. When I saw the update I knew I had seen it before on previous trip but didnt think anything of it.. Fantastic hide. Funny thing is this was the first cache of this type I had come across and on my way home south of sydney I stopped to do another cache. it was the same. I knew as soon as I saw it. TFTC

Wow, some bright spark created this one. Awesome camo.
Perhaps it might be considered to up the difficulty and/or terraine for old blokes only as some nimbleness is required.
Thanks Hancock Clan

Looked for ages

Checked on this one again after the previous log and can confirm it's still exactly where it should be. We've updated the hint for those that are struggling

Second time looking for this one. Please can owners check to see if its still there.

GPS was a bit jumpy but we nevertheless searched everywhere likely with no luck

Looked left, looked right, looked up, looked down.
Looked disappointed. Will return

Went and checked on this one. It's still exactly where we left it

Looked everywhere for this cache. Im sure I was in the right place. Would u mind checking this one.

Have been there for 4 times.
Bad GPS reception also doesn't help. I've been looking around and under everything but still can't find it.

Stopped by and checked on this one today. All was good however the cache had suffered a little from "cache creep". We replaced it where it should be and in light of the previous log updated the terrain rating half a star

Caching buddy: Muggle Nik

On our first attempt, I was almost a newbie. I think I was still in my learning phase.
On this second attempt, I felt more confident. At ground zero, I thought I knew what to look for.
Then every time I went to the grassy area, my jeans would catch spikes. There were spiders all around. I couldn't help but wonder how this terrain could be 1.5 !
We looked everywhere. Muggle Nik did not want to give up. I had to log this DNF for the second time and it is sad

I shall be back!
TFTCM btw

Memorable moment: An old woman came out of no where and asked if we speak english #HorrorMovies. She then asked Nik what was written on a piece of paper (some name and number). When Nik said Frank, she said "No man live there. No man live there."
They had this back and forth for 2 minutes and then Nik said, "maybe Francis". She felt satisfied and then stumbled away. We both stared after her and though the same thing: "what if it was dark and she had come at us? #JustLikeInTheMovies

Return visit after a DNF when it went missing before. Credit goes to Anne who ventured further than I did and found the clever hide. TFTC Hancocks.

Quick find with Justjessie, TFTC.

Found with O319. TFTC

Another imaginative container and a nice twist on accessing the log book. No muggles in the rain today so I had plenty of opportunity to search and find it at 10:30am.
TNLN
thanks The Hancock Clan

Looked under. Looked everywhere. Nothing looked like a cache to us
need better hint. Wish I had found this one. So far all the Botany Bay by Bike were beautiful camos.
Hopefully will be back!

Nice change to the other caches along Botany Bay. I left most of my geotools home to lighten the load for the long trip from the States So many thanks for providing the tool necessary to extract the log. TFTC!

That was the best, found it before we really found it.

Wonderful hide

Filling in another gap in the Botany Bay by bike series. I liked the innovative container. TFTC.

After a failed attempt at this one last week geokid and I visited predawn for another go this time with the assistance of Jabiru62. Thankfully Jabiru62 was better prepared than I and the log was soon signed and rehidden.
Another great cache from the Hancock Clan

The early bird gets the worm........ or the cache in this case!

TFTC The Hancock Clan – and for making the seek interesting!

nice new cache, very clever ..gave me a real buzz

I always love a cache from the Hancock Clan - such creativity took us a little bit if searching to locate the cache, managed to dirty up my jeans on the first stop of the day: The log wouldn't come through the small hole - not sure if that was your intention so had to do things the hard way. Can prob increase difficulty rating if this is the way it's going to be! Thankfully log extraction tool became a mutlifunction tool with a little bit of thinking. Thanks for a great cache

Ps for those with kids if you keep waking from Scott park to the cache, then continue over the bridge into the field there are a few horses which keep my kids entertained

Replaced the cache today & moved to a new 'hide'...

Replaced the cache today with a totally different concept to before due to numerous mugglings and moved to a new 'hide'

Looks like this one's definitely gone walkies. We'll replace it very soon

Can you please check on this one, last five logs have been DNF's

Read the recent logs and decided to only give this one a quick look on the way past. 30 painstaking minutes later I gave up and moved on.

couldn't find it either

Search under rocks even the ones featured on photos. Wonder if it there?

Cannot find it.

Same as previous cacher - knew what I was looking for and where but no luck. Checked it all twice and then time ran out. Better luck next time.

I searched high and low, I even knew what I was looking for and aprox where, by seeing the pics from others, I would of thought this was going to be straight forward. I'm going to keep my eye on this one and see if anyone else has any problems or finds it, before I return.

Gps 3m out but found pretty quickly after checking previous logs. Freezing cold day, can't wait to get back into car! !! Brrrrr

Coordinates seemed a few meters out but found it soon enough without getting my feet wet!

Great Bike Ride! Had Fun!!

Pretty easy one TFTC
