Nano Troll Kellyville, New South Wales, Australia
By soccerpride on 16-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MFAN

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 28 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Gave this one a cursory look but found nothing obvious that previous DNF cachers might have missed. Perhaps time to let this one go?

Not found since February, no response from CO to maintainable requests for an extended duration, probably time to let this one go?

Surprise surprise another dnf.

Checked both sides of both ends but no 'luck', so would not come back until CO has definitely checked and made sure it is in play. Couldn't see anything like the usual troll micro.

Can the CO please check on this cache?

I had crawled right up under the bridge, PAF and still no luck. I'm wondering with the torrential rains we had a couple of months back if it has been washed away? Seeing as it hasn't been found since Feb it maybe time for a CO check.

Lots of spiders and webs - didn't venture in too far to dig around for this one

Great cashe lots of fun very easy and very small

Best one so far it was great I can not believe how small it was thanks

Headed down the thin black line again to the North Western Suburbs of the Big Smoke. Vie Ryde then out to Rouse Hill, Windsor, Annangrove etc again this morning to try my luck and find some caches I missed last trip and have some fun. Crawled in quick retrieval. Great cache. TFTC

You lost me at spiders.. Will bring a tougher geo friend next time!

Looked around and spotted from one side using the torch.

You have got to be kidding me!!

Made the grab while getting very dirty and tangled in cobwebs on the way.

Super tough to get, high difficulty.

Thanks for the cache!

First ever cache found!

First ever cache. A rather large large spider got a little too friendly during my search .......

This one was physically very difficult but quickly found. It was a bit of a squeeze for me but I didn’t want to send in YGAT as she is also reasonably tall and was too well attired today anyway.

Even though my GPSr was pointing to one side, my instincts suggested the opposite, so I concentrated my efforts there and soon spotted the tiny object. I emerged with my hair full of cobwebs and goodness knows what else.

The log is pretty much dry but a little powdery, though we didn't have any trouble signing it.

Nice hide, thanks soccerpride.

I’m glad it was dry today, it would not be prudent to attempt this one in wet weather. Thanks for the cache soccerpride.

Day 10 of "31 Days of Geocaching"

3rd cache for the day ... well we were going to head home, however, after finding the first two so quickly we thought we'd try again. Sent GeoDaughter in with iPhone torch in hand and she soon came up with CIH !!!

TFTC soccerpride !!! BTW, log is getting full and will need replacing soon.

Nice little hide - tricky to get your hands on though! Wouldn't want to try this in the peak period of rain we've had lately. SL / TFTC

Have to get dirty on this one.

Glad I had hubby searching on this one! I was not going near this one! Send in the kids! Perfect for the little ones!

Dropping GC7C01 nearby for movable cache so geoson 3 and I took the chance to find this one. It was getting dark and luckily he had a torch app to help us. Lots of cobwebs around but he found it. Nice cache, great location and quiet just on dusk.

This was found on our "Hurry up and get pprass to 9,999 caches" caching weekend.
-Thanks soccerpride, this could have dragged on and probably has more dnf's to it's name I'm sure
Cheers from Browngang.

Found at 9:04 AM on our "Get to 9,999 cache finds before the Myriads and Milestones event on 21 April" with Browngang. This was a GAFF5 find.
That is one tough spot to hide a nano. We could easily have been here for a long, long time if it wasn't for Chris and his agility.
Thanks soccerpride.

Thanks soccer pride, climbed in and came out with a smilley. SL TFTC

Finally got to this one with some cloths that could get dirty. And better still make an instant find, must have approached at the right angle TFTC soccerpride

Found it. At first I couldnt and gave up, but as this is close to my house I returned an hour later and found. I think it was because I was afraid I would find mr huntsman or something. Anyway great cache, except for all the mossie bites.

Yep, this one does require some effort to retrieve. Signed the log while I was there then squirmed out again. Thanks for the hunt soccerpride.

Tftc quick find after getting down an dirty.

A bit of contortionism needed, but once you can see GZ, there aren't too many places for it to be. TFTC

Great find. One of the harder ones. Still here regardless of torrential rain in the area

This one has sat on the "just outside the radius" radar for too long. Today, needing a calendar find I dropped by this mozzie infested creek and, not being dressed in work clothes, was able to make a bit of a search without getting wet. Tried one side and then the other and spotted the beast. A fair bit of rust attached now and the log is a little on the damp side.
Signed and took five minutes to get it back in the container as the mozzies attacked. Got it back in place.
Nice to sign off this one!
Thanks.

Now i know what im looking for i will be back

You would need to be a small troll to live under here. I started out on the wrong side of the bridge and spotted a big Huntsman Spider on the underside of timber beam, so I was out of there quickly. Went to the other side and crawled under, now where would you hide that cache. Ah ha there you are!
TFTC
Cheers

Found within seconds! All in a name

Tftc

Adding a pic

Geomum says to geodad under you go dont come out until you have cache in hand i did every one was happy in the end,tftc.

DNF[:(!]

Ok have a good idea where to look, but with the rain the water was running a little to much for a cold spring swim so will return on a warmer day for the paddle.

4th day on holiday around Sydney. Really enjoying the good weather and fun caches. Soon had this one located although ended up pretty dirty. SL TFTC

Being the shortest Chook went for this one PLUS me and places likely to house spiders do not mix! TFTC

Chook and I were joined once again by Christine Vista and headed out to the Rouse Hill area for some serious caching. We drove to a little reserve just off Pryce Court, parked and headed down a little pathway to GZ. After reading the previous logs we knew where this would be and after a bit of recon we realised that this was a task that could only be completed by Chook. Just like a dwarf tunnelling merrily under the Misty Mountains, Chook disappeared for a bit and then Christine Vista and I saw her hand re-appear in triumph holding the cache aloft.

Knew where I was meant to be but it was just too hard to search. I'll be back with the more nimble member of the team to try Team Webguy's method.

Sent holyman54 for this one.. I was too tall his first nano, loved it!! TFTC

Found with cybermew3 unfortunately as I am shorter I retrieved the cache... Tftc

12:56pm
I said to the boy, "BOY, begone with ye, do not reappear until cache is in hand!!"

Was not long before a hand appeared from under the bridge, cache in hand. I signed the log and handed it back, and I wandered back to the car.

A few minutes later, I received an SMS.... Can I come out now??

Cheers

sevabo took me here then I was looking around up and down for this cache about half an hour then I asked sevabo where it was but still couldnt find it then I gave it up and will come back here one day so I hope the cache is still in hide somewhere here! TFTH

Having found the cache many moons ago but not quite able to retrieve it, I was finally was with someone not so vertically unchallenged, SL TFTC.

Came back and found this now it was fixed, Thanks.

TFTC.

Fixed

Despite spending half an hour under the bridge my eldest kept missing this one. We shall return.

The log has been replaced.Happy caching!

New log scroll required, current log completely full!

I've gotta say, its pretty tricky to access this cache once you pass a certain height!!! Somehow I managed to squeeze under the bridge without getting wet and managed to grab the cache (I'm ~173cm / 5'8"). Thankfully no sign of the giant spider today *phew*. Signed in the last spot on the scroll =) TFTC!

Didn't think my old bones could get into those type of places anymore,
but get there they did, just. It was well hidden. TFTC.
Note:- Log is full, might be able to squeeze on one more claim only.

Glad I had the Geoteen with me, I am 6'4" and would never have been able to get this without him.

Good hide. SL TFTC

We knew we were in for some fun from soccerpride after doing his cache called "smalls stroll" now being that it had been raining for 3 days straight the what I suppose would have been a very quite & small flowing stream, ended up being a very fast flowing river. My geohusband who is 6 foot 2" was not looking forward to this one & removed the shoes & socks to get his feet wet, after some very difficult body positions (with geowife saying stay there I have to get a photo & geohusband replying your kidding right!) the cache was in hand, very nice hide, geowife enjoyed laughing at geohusband....TFTC really TFTC!!!

Almost a DNF untill I finally got my act together and seemed to recover from my sleep in. TFTC. Thanks soccerpride!

The name gave it away straight away. Thanks for the cache, soccerpride!

NickoHeap and I got under the bridge with a lot of spider webs getting in our hair, but no hitchhiking spiders that I noticed. NickoHeap located the cache in what seemed the only logical place for it, so this wasn't a difficult search as I imgined it might be. Thanks

NickoHeaps eagle eyes were on the job again. While he and the geohubby crawled around under, Garks and I looked closer to the top of the bridge. We struck out. But they got it for the team! TFTC

Being a tall person certainly doesn't help when looking for this cache =( I managed to crouch low enough to shine my torch under the western side of the bridge, but instead of spotting a cachem, I come face to face with a DAMN HUGE SPIDER @_@ After making a hasty retreat, I decided that this is a job for someone with stronger nerves than mine!! Will be back in the future with either A) help, or B) long sleave shirt + other protective clothing + better torch ;x

We came in off Cattai Creek Dr, and had a pleasant walk to GZ, after some body contortions I had the cache in hand, and not a spider anywhere...

A cunning spot to place it soccerpride, feel the force..

Nice quick grab. Close parking made it a nice easy one. TFTC

Cache Hunt 238; GAFF3; Weather, Evening, night; Helpers, None. Cache condition, Good. Finds for the day, 4/7 - STATUS - Found.
Drive down to gz and parked in what looked like visitor parking for the houses around here. A lonely muggle kid on his bike was circling around near the bridge as I walked towards gz. I stood around a bit waiting for the gps to tune in, and soon kid went inside. I checked hint and the answer then came to me. Torch in hand, I looked straight at the cache, now to get it. SL while being hidden and placed back. TFTC.

Hardest part of this one was waiting out all the suspicious muggle kids on scooters, that kept going past, eventually they gave up and the cache was mine Thanks for the cache.

Parked car at the other end of the street so we walked along the back of the house only to find that you could park at either side of GZ.
Sent Geo boys in for the hunt and told them not to come up until you find it.
MattKwashere come up with the goods and we did the paper work and got out of there fast.
SL TFTC
10 out of 10 for me today.

Relogging my old finds.

Found this one after we let a few muggles ride off on their bikes. Great hide nice easy find. TFTC

This one was quickly found on a morning just as the rain started to fall.

If I had not brought along the right gear it may have been more difficult!!

Tks .... soccerpride .... GazMag

I parked close by and found the obvious GZ in an instant.

But where was the 'Nano Troll' hiding?

In the end, of course, there are only so many places that a little troll can hide . . .

Mini cache container was just fine and the log scroll was dry. TNLNSL.

Arrived home and had to toss all my clothes into the washing machine, before Mrs. pjmpjm saw them . . .

Lots of fun, though!

Many thanks to soccerpride.

Nice Stroll for this nano Troll. SL TFTC 2nd to find. Congrats to Geohubby wrightspot for first FTF.

[black] Ho Ho Ho[/black] [brown] Bronze for us [/brown] Accompanied with sevabo, Another new publish I told sister to come with me for the drive the car... Lovely area and found nano troll - he is very calm. Signed the log.

Hey no need walking stick easy stroll to GZ, found it with Everlasting. Thanks for bringing us here

Ahhhh a "Nano Troll". From my perspective the worste combination of caching affects possible !!!... grrrrr
Thankfully the cache was fairly quickly found, so all is forgiven although I doubt that some of my physiology will be as forgiving tomorrow. [B)]
So, thanks for the challenge Soccerpride. Mission accomplished. I couldn't leave this on my "not found" list for long.
