Container definitely buggered but the bag is still great. Quickest find so far tftc

We left a friend for the gnome. The box is really broken, put it back together as best as we could.

Gnome is still here protecting the cache!

We made the very unsteady decent down from the channel to find this cache, a thankfully easier find for the day. TFTC!

With the heat starting to set in we decided this would be our last one for the day. We arrive at gz and this one had us searching for about five minutes before Leega hit on the right spot. We signed your log and returned your cache back as we found it. Its always nice to do a welfare check on one that hasnt been found for awhile and glad to say all is good with this one. TFTC Allied Pranksters Crew.

Found with axell33 as we make our way back down the hill. We made the cross cut to the lower track so we could get this one from the right side of the channel. A lot of work went on a long time ago up here and even as hot as it is today and the climb has been a bit unfun but it is a great place to enjoy the bush and the views.and it was a quick search before our find! Thanks for the cache here Crew.

Gnome left in 2021 is still there, protecting the cache. TFTC

TFTC, good condition. A little overgrown so some hands and knees required

I really didn't want any DNFs on this series, but after a long search, a break for lunch, and another, slower search, I had to give in with regret

Thanks

We did not take the little gnome child as we are not responsible geocachers. Instead left little gnome for the next resposible gnome-parents to find

Nice quick find. Thanks

Find thanks (:

Nice hide here TFTC

A bit late logging this cache but found it all the same!
A fabulous day with my family on my 46th birthday

Tftc

Found... box broken open .. needs repIar

Bit of an easy hide! Awesome joker card inside, left a foreign coin as we have on tonnes of this trail

Hi there Barnzy12 - with few chores for today I decided that the caches above Kelmscott town were in order. Like almost all of the caches up here, this was a quick find and the cache and the log are in good condition - SL. Thanks to Barnzy12 for this cache - our find #5075

Took longer than it should have after geodogs dragged me down the incline! Took marvel disc. Left gold joker

Find number 4 on our rainy adventure. TFTC

Well hidden cache! I began some CITO here by removing a fair bit of broken glass, be aware of more around the place. TFTC.

Back for my second leg of this spectacular series offering views, spectacular views and even greater views.

For some reason this one felt a little different to the others. Didn't take too long to make the find.

TFTC Allied Prankster Crew and Barnzy12.

Found it. Steep incline

Quick find TFTH

Trekking the ccc started at Canning Mills road and heading north with CLevett50. Tftc

Great morning finding Caches with Geoaddict84. Find #10

Not sure why we couldn't find, HPS not helping.. Maybe another day.

Tftc. Nice hide.

1st section of our caching adventure and the 15th find for the day. TFTC

tra logging coz fra is exhausted from his big day out with KrabiBoy and bigTcup while i was working and I also believed this was beyond my capabilities lol. Great day was had with 16kms and 20,000 steps clocked up. Thanks to all involved in placing and maintaining this series. Apologies for the c & p log.

15th find of the day here and time to admire the view.

I've been wanting to do this series for a long time, and after seeing some photos on the facebook page, decided to make it happen.

I teamed up with fratra and bigTcup to come and grab our smilies. We parked three cars along the way to make things easier and set off from #23.

Nice view from around here!

TFTC Barnzy12.

Barnzy12, I found your cache AP 210 C=C=C 10 on 18/04/2016 at 9:13 AM.
This is my find #2492 and find #15 today.

SpatialRiq, Jinta29 and I made plans to tackle this series before the rumors we had heard came true that it maybe archived (1 year later logging them it turned out not to happen as they have been adopted out)

I don’t know what I was really expecting but it was not the extreme variety of terrain and how long the day was from start to finish.

Walking the pipe covered all results, from completely clear and low to the ground to so high up a fall may hurt or at least put you on the ground with no way back up, overgrown drains that saw us on our knees crawling (well me anyway) to walking on the edge of steep slopes as the bush was too thick to push through.

Verdict: Freaking amazing! What a blast !

Forgive the generic log, I have since lost any trail notes that I did take as it is now just under a year ago (359 days) since I had the adventure.

AlliedOz aka The Jokers

After a bit of talk about this series on Facebook a couple of weeks ago AlliedOz, SpatialRiq and I hatched a plan to head off and grab these smileys We grabbed all of the active caches in the series and a couple of others nearby . A great day out and I can thoroughly recommend it as a WA must do series. A 7.5 hour epic that will have us bragging for some time to come!

Barnzy12 - jinta29 found your cache AP 210 C=C=C 10 on 8/04/2016, 6:23 PM. This is my find #5140 and find #14 today. The cache is in good shape and we replaced it as found. Thanks for placing this and bringing us to this spot!

Have you logged your WILL ATTEND for WA GOES BIG in 2016[?]
I have and am looking forward to seeing lots of other cachers in Pinjarra on the WA Day long weekend.
Log your will attend at GC5YAGP!

Organised to tackle this series a few weeks back with Jinta29 and AlliedOz, so with much excitement we met up around 7:30am and got underway.

Did #23 to #1 plus several nearby caches, then after lunch headed South picking up a couple in Roleystone then did the remaining #29 to #40.

Great weather, great company and truly a great series that has it all. Stunning views, some challenging terrain and we learn a bit of history. Yet another part of Perth that, if it weren't for geocaching, I would have never know about or seen.

17th find of the day. Ended up with 52 finds all up. TFTC.

AP 210 C=C=C 10 was transferred from Allied Pranksters to user Barnzy12

I was keen to head out to the C=C=C series this weekend and try to knock them all off. After finding #1 and 2 a few months back I decided to tackle the rest in sections. I parked the car at the gate on Turner Rd, and after tackling #6 - #3 I went on to the section from #7 onwards.

As I passed #9 I found myself on the wrong track with no way to cross so I decided to skip ahead and find this one first. While looking for this cache a couple with a dog passed overhead so I took some time to appreciate the view. I finally found the cache by spotting a touch of blue plastic!

Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters!

Awesome

We followed the right track this time for a quick find tftc

Out with Bunycorp.. Tftf

Out caching with the Nosey Parkers. A great walk for the dog and the kids.

Found during a dad/lad hike. All good.

TFTC! Out with Numbers Man to complete a small stretch of the CCC series. Weather was perfect for this morning section which we completed in two hours with a total of 7 finds and 5 DNFs. Thanks AP

Fathers day fun Grabbed my father in law, brother in law, son and lilly the dog. Was going to just have a quick look at a few but they all loved it and we made it all the way to Turner rd. 4km of fathers day laughs and caching perfection Thanks for the series

Good hide TFTC

Should be on the low rd t4tc Find # 400 yukai !!

Heading down the hill a bit to this GZ, it was Mr OOH YEH again who spotted this one in a place that i had dismissed only seconds earlier [:o)]. With the finish line in sight, and a great view to admire, we decided to sit on the rocks for a quick lunch stop. TFTC AP

This trip had been on the radar for some time.
Ooh-Yeh and and I had a false start a few months ago when the weather was against us. Now there was Jasenjanine, Ooh-Yeh, and myself set to make the journey.
The weather was "PERFECT" , and I mean ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. No rain for a couple of days. The meant for dry scrub, and dry pipe. And a pefect strike rate for our finds today
We headed off at 7.20 in the morning, and started at number 40.
Many yarns and stories shared along the way with only one minor spill on the pipe.
A fantsastic day out which I strongly reccomend to all.
We were fortunate enough to have the CO drop us at the start, and run us between the middle section. Thanks so much for this

Thanks for a fantastic series Allied Pranksters,

Kyzabra and I had made a plan last September 2013 to tackle this series and at that time the heavens had opened up and dumped its load so it was then into recon mode to scope out how to tackle this one and grab a few close ones while waiting for the rain to stop .
We then spoke to the CO who kindly offered to pick us up drop us of at the given points just needed our dates to line up .
Well today was our day and the team was put together Kyzabra , Jasenjanine and myself armed with all the necessary requirements for a full day out the weather was at its best not a cloud in the sky. We arrived at the CO house early who kindly dropped us off at the starting point and collect us at the next point which was great as there is no real parking close by.
The views are incredible with the day being so perfect which made up for all the prickle bushes ,scratches and sore limbs that was accrued though out the day
We walked on top of the pipe and in the col-vent the whole way, only one slip on the pipe by Jase whilst trying to grab something on his way down was a blackberry bush all I can say was OUCH but alas no injury .
Many stories were told as we made away along the pipe and the caches were come up very quick just needed the time to find them some were quick a couple had us scratching our heads as three GPS's would not settle and giving out mixed readings but in the end all were found log signed and maintenance completed .
Thanks for the series AP

So I thought that today would be the perfect day to tackle the C=C=C 01-23 series of caches with fine weather forecast. But this day had everything - completely clear skies, full sun and then dark clouds followed by torrential showers! But I didn't think that rain was forecast? This was a great adventure. I saw scores of kangaroos, a gazillion biting ants, many beautiful butterflies, one dugite snake, one bobtail lizard and one freshly dead dog. The bush is super thick right now making it very hard to trek along some parts. Miraculously, I managed to find 23 out of 23 of this series that I attempted! Looking forward to returning to Roleystone to continue the journey soon. TFTC Allied Pranksters

Been thinking about doing the C-C-C series for a while and thought it would be good to do it with dad (froggy1948) since he had worked on this channel back in his hey day.

We parked near #1 and headed towards Canning Mills road collecting the caches as we went for our first section. It was a nice clear cool day and the views of the city at the start are great. Flowers are out in full at this time of year. Got some nice stories from dad about the channel as we went too. Found dad's first evidence of work on the channel near cache #6 (didn't find that cache today tho!). Forgot to take a pic of it too, so will be back to find #6 and take a photo We made it to Canning Mills road 2.5 hours later with cache #13 in hand and glad to finish that section of the trek.

With a little bit of energy left in us we thought we can do another section and take advantage of a cool day. We drove to Contour Rd and headed towards Canning Mills again. Boy did this second section take some work. When AP mentioned "If you like thick bush, steep hills, balancing on a pipe, great views, ... , ants that attack if you stand still" then this is the bit he was talking about. Cache 23 to 20 is very hilly, Between Cache 20 and 16 we were covered in ants. and many times you have to fight the over grown prickly bush trying to stick to some kind of path. By the time we got to #14 near Canning Mills we were stuffed.

Thouroughly enjoyed today's outing and looking forward to the next lot closer to Canning Dam. A great effort AP for putting these caches out.

TFTHs

found it

Spectacular views from all along the viaduct but they were getting more open as we walked. Great day for waling too.

Pleasant walk along the old channel to find what we could of this series. Prickle bush is a bit tricky but we got most. TFTC

[:(!] After picking up the geocar that had been in for a service so I had the afternoon free to do some caching, parked the geocar as close as possible to 3M30A (AP 206 C=C=C 06) and walked in from there, on arrived at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

it was a great day outside and Itskate and i decided to go for a little bush walk, well i was a little perswasive
we had a great day out and Kate slept on the way home.

Today's mission was to complete the two legs of the C=C=C series between Turner Road and Contour Road. So, I parked on Canning Mills Road close to C=C=C 14 and tackled C=C=C 14 to 23 first, then backtracked and did C=C=C 13 to 07. The mission was accomplished, and I also grabbed Papa was a Roley-Stone as a bonus!

10! Another little jog! Took a few minutes to find this one.

One of the 24 caches we found today whilst walking the c =c= c trail between Contour Road and Mills Road.

Thanks for the caches and a chance to wander down memory lane - this was my childhood playground in the 1960's and 70's

A straight forward find when we were getting rather hot. TFTC

Finally had a chance to tackle the first leg of this series today after looking at it longingly for months but being unwilling to go by myself. I'm in awe of the work which must have gone into creating this series. I brought along two geo-newbies, they signed the logs in preparation for registering tonight.

We were all a bit hot and bothered by this point and so another easy find was appreciated.

TFTS AP

Out to finish the pipe series with SPN WRC today.
Couldn't ask for better weather today after the disaster of the other week.
Good chance today to sit back and appreciated the engineering marvel of this pipe.
No problems finding the remaining caches.
Thanks again to Allied Pranksters for bringing us to this little unknown piece of history..
TFTC

Out on a mission to finish the pipe line hike with AndrewSWRT. Much better weather today, and a much easier route than last weeks trip. No problems finding the remaining caches. Thanks for a great series put together.

Teamed up with Mr ILuvTrekking and Mr Richlink for another geocaching day. Mrs ILuvTrekking and Mrs Richlink dropped us off at the beginning of the series. The view from the hills were fantastic and we had prefect whether to conquer this series- not too hot and plenty of challenges along the way. Some of the floral was starting to bloom and we enjoyed the colours of the flowers.

I had a few spills and falls along the way that had me breathless at times and a few war wounds to share with others.

I throughly enjoyed myself! Thank you Mr. Richlink and MR. ILuvTrekking for this another great Geo caching day and thank you Allied Prankster for the great series.

Mrs iluvtrekking and I transported our two men and Mr Jacobscrew to the starting point of the series at 0830. We had arranged to meet them after they completed #23 to join them for lunch and to top up their water and snack supplies for the remainder of the trek. The series started off easily enough for the first half dozen caches then gradually the terrain increased in difficulty requiring the negotiating of the pipeline itself, while clambering over trees that had fallen across the pipeline and the concrete supports.
At #19 while two of the cachers were at ground level they came in contact with a very nervous dugite, with the third cacher scrambling out of its way by climbing the nearest tree! Back on the pipeline the guys had thoughts of boots with magnets in the soles coming in handy and wondering if these were going to be the next addtion to the caching gear. Well the magnetic boots would have come in handy to save Mr Jacobscew losing his footing and slipping from the pipeline at #22. iluvtrekking and richlink watched aghast and expected the worst but were relieved to see him land on his back with his backpack as protection, between two large rocks instead of splayed across them. After getting his breathe back, shaking off the bruised hip and wrenched ankle, it was back to the rest of the series. After replenishing their reserves with a well earned lunch break the three were determined to continue the series and knocked back our offer of a ride to #24. Although they thought they were past the worst of the terrain they were to later realise there was much more in store for them. A very pleasant surprise was picking up a joint FTF at #33 which gave them the incentive to surge onward to complete the final 7 caches in the series. Not one DNF!!
The guys did a fabulous job of completing all 40 caches in extreme terrain within 9 hours and they have no doubt it was their combined team work that got them through.
Thanks Allied Pranksters for another excellent series, apologies for the repeated log. Now, what have you got for them next?!!

Mr iluvtrekking joined forces with Mr richlink and Mr JacobsCrew to conquer this wonderful series. It was not without incident and excitement but they completed the entire series without a DNF or serious injury, although Mr JacobsCrew may take issue with that. Thanks Allied Prankters, an epic series, the men will be talking about this day for a long time to come.

Out today with the Geoson and introducing two friends to Geocaching. Loved this series and recommend doing the walk. Just make sure you have good shoes, long strides, and plenty of water.... Watch the ants in a few spots, they attack in the millions... We started from Mills Rd East and headed to Roleystone, The last part was the hardest with the legs starting to slow up a bit..... Thanks very much for the series, great to enjoy a bit of history...

Met up with Me&B and Trevkevred at CCC13, left my car there and drove with them back to this one, to start from CCC7 and work back to 13.
We are getting through this section quicker that we thought - good sat fix, nice sized containers and logical hiding spots all making for quick finds - just getting in and out of the channel causing a bit of angst for the shorter legs in the team.
Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters.

We (a very excited little B and I) picked up trevkevred from the station and urch from the other side of the hill to tackle this part of the series as the awesome foursome this is a lovely area to walk in and looks like it is being appreciated by muggle bushwalkers as well. A lovely sunny winter's day to be out and about. The views from up here are beautiful.
I did wish to have some longer legs though!
TFTH

Caching with Me&B and Urch on a lovely day. The tracks are clear, good views and fairly flat terrain. The problem for Me&B and I was the sliding into the channel and the worst getting out at the other side. It was ok for urch, she has long legs. On this occasion by the time we got to GZ she had found the cache! Nice quick find and off to the next one. TFTH Allied Pranksters.

Pretty much got home early and thought I might tackle the C=C=C 13 - 07 and Papa was a Roleystone. Ended up running in the dark with my headlamp.

Out and about with Keego hunting C=C=C. Not wishing to jump in at the deep end I started with the easier ones I hope. Park on Canning Mills road near ‘Sun Makes Light’ then followed the contour channel from 13 to 07. An enjoyable walk with great views to the west. Generally these caches were more difficult to find than 01-06. Be on your guard between 10 and 11 as you are being observed.

Thanks Allied Pranksters Crew.

TFTC. Lovely day for a walk.

Due to the fading light this had to be our last one for the day, great views from here today was a lovely winters day perfect for climbing up hills. Thanks for this great series.

Bindel_ texted me last night asking if I was interested in doing some of this series 23 to 1. We picked some others up along the way. We were dropped off with bindel_'s car waiting for us at the other end.

We kept on walking to have another short find.

Thanks for an awesome series

Thanks Allied Pranksters, this is a great area!! Another quick find!

Needed some fresh air and sunshine and wanted to get my heart rate up a bit - this looked like the perfect series! Blob was keen to be my companion for the day. 23 to 1 was all I was keen to tackle in my current condition. We dropped my car at the Mills Rd truck arrester bed and my brother kindly gave us a lift to Contour Rd.

This section the view was just amazing. As were blobs energy levels - he just keeps finding these caches!

In company with MDV & JB we managed to make short work of this cache. Missed logging it last night as the memory was still recovering from an above average days exertion! Loved it. Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters

“Thick bush, steep hills, balancing on a pipe, great views, getting wet and cold, ants that attack” - with a sales pitch like this how could I resist attempting this series. It would be too easy to drive and attack it in sections so I decided I would attempt to do the whole series on foot in one day. I dropped a car at the arrester bed on Mills Rd then got my better half to drop me off at the end of the series at Canning Dam. I set off at around 9:30am and a few minutes later had the first cache in hand, not only that it had a nice blank logbook. My run of FTF’s continued until C=C=C 36 when AusTrackers came to the cache from the other direction. Always nice to meet other cachers and put a face to a name. They found the cache but graciously shared the FTF honours. They warned me that the going from this point on was more difficult and off I went. Met Chwiliwr not long after and after a brief greeting carried on. Soon afterwards I made a small diversion (small in distance not in effort!) to pick up the cache Jurassic Jaunt. When I got to Croyden Rd I wasn’t sure if I’d still be able to follow the channel/pipe due to private property so decided to follow the road to the next cache. A bit of a dull slog and then I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get to #27 without a big circuit walk. Thankfully when I was only a couple of hundred metres from the cache one of the residents were working in their front yard so I got permission to cut across their property to access the cache. I had planned to follow the pipe from here but the veg was too thick so I cut back down to Croyden Rd (and lost my sunnies in the process!). the three caches west of the Brookton Hwy went well but then again I wasn’t sure if I could get through so backtracked to the Brookton Hwy and followed the roads before picking up the channel again at #23. The next section was my favourite for the day (even the hill up to what I think was #21). All went well until the final few caches when I had a couple of DNF’s – a bit disappointing as I had hoped to complete the series. Found the final cache at 4:30pm on the dot. A good series (apart from the Croyden Rd bit). Most coords good or if not caches were in obvious spots for the most part. Certainly an enjoyable walk.

Came down with KB to attempt series from #27 to #1.....drove up to #27, then did 26 to 24 walked back to car, then drove to contour rd to walk rest of the series.
As we pulled up to GZ we could see a 4wheel drive on side of road and by the time we walked up to GZ we met up with James of jacaro44.....had a chat, found cache and decided to join up for rest of trek
The next section from #23 to #13 was definitely my favourite....the memory of turning around to see KB and James trudging up the pipe behind me is one that will stay with me for a long time.
KB and I were a bit tentative on pipes at first, but soon realised it was the most efficient way to move and by the time we finished we were bounding along like mountain goats.
Thanks Allied Pranksters this is what caching is about.... adventure, exercise and good company (and lots of smileys)....and a heartfelt thank you to the better looking half of jacaro44 for giving us a lift back to KB's car.

3 pairs of eyes searching for a sistema; the cache was soon signed and we were back on the journey. Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters.

(Chwiliwr team catch up log)

After Chwiliwr compled work today we came up to do a bit more of the CCC series. Found the cache without problems after staying low when leaving the last find and only had a very short slope to negotiate to GZ.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.

*FTF*

The combination of the drainage ditches and odd bits of track have so far resulted in there being a relatively straight forward route to GZ, this one was no exception and aprt from a littte ducking and diving to reach the cache was no problem.
