Windy park Skye, Victoria, Australia
By Tatty on 30-May-11. Waypoint GC2X11Y

The last three we have tried to locate have just had the zip tie in place? Not sure if item has been taken?

Yes, seems it has gone yet again! Unfortunately not much point replacing yet again, as I've replaced it a few times now (just not posted it online, as no one else has noticed it was missing).
Sorry guys!

Out with n0w0rries so he could get jus 15 years unloved challange completed.

I arrived before him and gathered the required infornation. My initial calc for gz was clearly wrong so I reworked the numbers. I had just completed this when n0w0rries arrived. He quickly gathered the data and correlated the results. Off we trotted to gz.

We spent a lot of time searching around and double checking the information but no cache was apparant. An email was sent to co with coords to see if we were correct.

We moved on to the next cache with a sad face.

Counted, calculated, searched.
Failed

at last !!! after arriving at the stage locations I gathered all information needed to find GZ. After a little bit of work I had the GZ located and cache in hand.. Thank you Tatty for this cache... was a fun one to find and enjoyed a nice bike ride around the estate... with the cache back in its hiding spot I rode off

Replacement cache in place, good to go!

Missing in action, need to bring replacement cache back

Awesome multi cache. My first multi and I really enjoyed the extra challenge of counting the wind mill blades as it was really windy and spinning fast. LOL

Good hide. Took us a while.

Found as part of our "at least one cache a day challenge", We worked out the information at each way point and continued to an empty gz, log book was signed and took off for the next.
Thanks Tatty for the cache,
Regards The Coffee's.

Loved this great multi in a ripper little park. TNLNSL

Our geo dogs first cache! TFTC.

Nice simple trackable in this quite new looking park. First cache our new geodog participated in! Left voodoo doll travel bug

rdo today driving past stopped in for walk around park nice and easy thanks

Worked out the coordinates and off I went, spent 20 mins looking around and under the most likely place that the GPS took me with no luck. Will try again when I have more time.

Thanks for taking me to this cool little park! Even late in the evening, there was still lots of people around. Gathered all the data, which led me to a likely looking spot, but no sign of cache. Will try again when cloud cover is not so bad, maybe it was my GPS playing up.

Found in company with my mate Slink1 on an impromptu afternoon caching. SL TFTC.

on the way back from a friends place Dunko and I stopped off to complete this short multi
all stages inplace and completed without issue.

Sorry only just noticed the DNF. Checked, no new road at GZ

We were able to grab all the info required and attempted to make our way to GZ but it seems a new street has been built where the cache should be.

Thanks anyway

This park was very pleasant today with only a small amount of wind which made finding wpt2 a bit tricky. Just as we were about to give up the wind stopped and we were able to continue. After a few more POI's we were able to find the cache, where we left our mark and took the Jeep TB. TFTC Tatty & crew.

Great little park, thanks for the cache,

Left a nice red pen. Took a geocoin to help it on its way

Left a nice red pen. Took one of the geocoins. TFTC!

Gave this one a quick tidy up as we were in the street anyway, removed some rusty items and added some toys.

There were quite a few muggles around on this sunny afternoon but thankfully the info was easy to get and none of them were at GZ. Made an easy enough find and left 2 Geocoins from Darwin.

Found with Roostaman on a big day out caching around the area.Thankfully it was to cold for Muggles this morning, we collected the numbers and headed for GZ, the grass was all frozen today, we had no trouble finding this one.

Found with Rebel Acts on another nice day for a caching run around the area.
Today the grass and the flora were all frozen which kept the muggles away.
The trek to GZ was a nice and easy stroll. TNLNSL TFTC,
Roostaman.

I think I need to update my maps! I wound my way through the last few streets without the aid of the GPS and found this pleasant little park. It was deserted today, and not windy, but a little wet with a light shower towards the end of my wandering. Thanks Tatty for the cache. That was an interesting object in the middle of the park!

My usual Monday night caching run was delayed due to the recent Christmas festivities so I was able to squeeze a cache run in on the following Wednesday Night. As I was finishing Parallel Universes (GC38VRA I bumped into Littlemerpip and we decided to catch up later in the evening and hit a few caches to the south. We came across this one and as we were driving in I said "I've been here before" I had but I had never logged this one so I'll log it today although I had done it some months ago. Oh well, a nice park to visit twict. Thanks Tatty for the second time!!

Out on a run with Trailrunning this evening, he had this as unfound but got distinct feelings of deja vu as I navigated to the park. When Google maps ran out of roads he just kept going and turned to park at the initial coords perfectly. So I did this one by mysekf, gathered the clues at the compact way points, did the maths and wandered to the secluded GZ where the find was made quickly. Opened the log to find Trailrunning had found this a few months ago but hadn't recorded it. Thanks to Tatty for this one, a great little multi.

2nd multi of the day to finally log some local caches. This was great fun with kiddypiddy 11, who was the solver of problems and finder of the cache today. 3.30pm, i thought this would be much busier. Very fun easy cache for us today...thanks tatty!

Continuing trying to find a cache a day for as long as we can this was the one for today. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were glad it was mid week as we think this could be a popular location on a weekend but today even the arches were empty. At stage two we were happy the park did not live up to its name as had it been windy it may have been harder to collect the information. We soon had all the answers and had worked out where GZ should be. With good co ordinates the cache was located quickly and we added our name to the log.
With all the rain we have had we thought there would be more water here.
Thanks Tatty for the cache

Found while on a caching run with trailrunning and his geokids. Nice and easy find.had to jump the fence to get to GZ though as we were on the wrong side. TNLNSL and TFTC:)

I eventually found my way through the maze of streets and courts, since my maps are not current enough for this estate. I recall being here late one night with C@H - he was setting waypoints for a future cache placement.
I came here today with my girls and we all played for about an hour. Met lots of local mugglets and they all rode around the paths on scooters and bikes together.
We collected the clues in-between swings and slides, and made our way to GZ.
I pointed my daughter in the direction of the MOP, and she could hardly contain her excitement when she spotted the large container. Traded a few girly trinkets.
TFTC Tatty.

House is booming around here..
Nice easy multi
Great spot
Its windy today..

Took me some time to find access to cache as
my GPS failed in this new housing development.
Really nice area and a very appealing park.
Collected all clues, made mistakes, but finally
found the cache.

You sure picked the perfect name to name the cache.

It was a cold and windy day when I chose to try for this cache. I gathered the answers, calculated GZ and spent 5 - 10 minutes searching for the cache, but all without success. I retreated to the warmth of my car where I was able to check my figures.

I turned out that I had missed subtracting 1 from E. Once this was sorted, I headed to my new GZ, about 20 metres away from my original location. This time the cache was quickly found and logged. Thanks Tatty for a walk in the park, and the cache.

Find # 592 Found @ 1500Hrs

After a false start of mucking up the numbers then redoing the numbers i got a set of numbers that looked better so i made a PAF call to conferm that i was right.

Found in the first place i looked after the false start.

Found @ 2:20pm, find # 913.

When I arrived at the post coords I was able to get the required info easily, but there was a family at the playground so I thought I would get the rest of the numbers from a distance which I was able to do except the last ones, so I was able to make my way to the sign without any trouble, I had just worked out the coords for GZ and had a look where it was when I noticed about 5 kids on scooters heading to where I was wanting to search so I waited a while and started to walk over there, checked out the scenary and finally they left, after that I was able to make a quick find.
Thanks to Tatty for this cache.

We found this cache today at 11:10am as the 4th of 36 on our Mornington Train Whistle Blowing Tour. This was a nice little multi although it was only slightly windy here today. Thanks from D & H B-A.

I was at work just down the raod when the alert went off. I contacted C@H and he was already on his way. The road works really held me up but still arrived to find C@H on site gathering the numbers. We gathered the reast together and C@H explained how he had planned to also put a cache here so was spewing when he saw the location of this one. We fininshed getting the numbers and C@H said he had a good idea of where the hide would be. He was spot on. A joint FTF with C@H. Thanks for the hide. Great park too I must bring the kids to when the weather is a bit warmer.

"NOOOO" was my first scream as this cache got published.As soon as I hit the google map link on my phone and noticed it placed the cache right next to where I had planned to place a cache. I drove down to GZ as I battled through the road works. Got there late and started to gather numbers, Soon Quasar3671 arrived and joined me. We finished the numbers and without even using the formula I said I bet you I know where this is, exactly where I was going to place a cache, it has been 9 months since I did the cache page, back then I was still waiting for them to finish building the park. Well if you snooze you loose. Needless to say the cache was found exactly where I expected. Joint *FTF* with Quasar3671. TFTC
