Omegaman1971Support Your Local Villain Live - Laugh - Lurk Caches Found: 13026First To Find: 149Sidetracked Cache Finds: 117I finally attempted the Winston Wander series that I had heard so much about, and it did not disappoint. I loved the variety of different containers and camouflage methods used. Most of the GZs were deserted due to the school holidays, but there were still a few muggles to deal with. Thanks to SKI Pair for a great day of caching fun!"Any day caching is a great day, but even better when the Co is a good friend.Down and dirty for this one.

After a coffee with the run regulars, I went for a walk around town, picking up some caches along the way. It was a pleasant day for a wander.Massive thanks go to SKI Pair for placing this one.

Today I set out to track down something AND not get distracted by geocaching. Well that didn’t happen so while I came home empty handed, I did get to find some geocaches.

Okay, so I was supposed to only do one more but couldn’t resist. Loving your caches

I've started work just over the way at the uni this week and today, I decided to explore this path as it's been a few years and use the opportunity to drop a TB.

Tftc SkiPair. A gloomy winter's morning evolved into a marvellous sunny afternoon. Geograndkid was itching to get some caches and who am I to deny the enthusiasm.
So off to Churchill where I had previously only been once to nab a few in the short available then.
A successful 5 km stroll for us today, missing only 1.
 
13-Jun-22
Tried searching for this one twice and even with a hint from the CO came up empty handed. No worries this place is worthy of returning too.

After going for a bike ride today we decided we needed to walk out the muscles so stopped here to check out the university while there are no students are about.
Because I am into native plants I found walking past the gardens very enjoyable as there is some great specimens here.
After a bit of a false reading from the GPS we found it in a likely spot

Great hiding spot, this was the very first cache we found so it took us a bit of hunting to find. Didn't take a pen with us so couldn't log our find. But we did get a photo.

The Sun had come out and living in Baw Baw shire we were not locked down so i decided to head out for a day out of the house and what better way than a drive around your own area picking up caches, Gippsland has some great locations to visit and lots of caches that have not been found in awhile, so with my new caching gear gloves and sanitizer I had a great time touring around the area finding caches and exploring new places. I was expecting something more evil.

Thanks SKI Pair for the cache.

A lovely day today, and even though we are socially distancing and staying at home we took the opportunity to take our grandchildren out for a walk and do a maintenance run on some of our caches.
The original hiding place has rotted almost completely away and the cache has gone missing.
A new cache has been placed and the new coordinates will be posted.

We are enjoying a long awaited caching weekend away. Our research suggest there were some pretty good caches down this way. Today the plan was to hit up Churchill. Wandering our way through Winston, well one of us is hobbling but he's put a brave face on it. Geodogs happy though with all the walks. Quick find for once lol. Tftc

Nice hide tftc

Decided to grab a quick cache after work. My GPS was off as always and it took a bit of wandering round before a typical hiding spot jumped out at me. Initially my phone had me in the middle of the path over the drain. I'm down here starting a new job. Such a change from Canberra. Seems a lovely place though. I'm looking forward to exploring the place. No tb present. Tftc

After finding a suitable parking spot we finally set out on the trail, just our luck it started to rain as we were walking, but one cant just turn around when we have a mission on our hands. Cache was found safe and well in its hiddy hole all happy safe, but there was no tb in it. Tftc
