Good thing I had my bike helmet on as I did exactly what the hint says not to. Found just before my back gave out. TFTC!!
A quick find and sign.
No trains, no muggles, almost no cars, just a pleasant (if windy) day to be out caching.
Thanks.

I started out at the wrong altitude, but that was soon rectified.
Thanks for the cache choppersrule-gang.

Dernière journée en Tasmanie. On profite d'une balade sur le bord de la rivière pour faire nos dernières découvertes avant de partir pour Sydney. On trouve celle-ci par terre ... on la remet plus haut.

#132 - 17:15; Started these at the wrong end and missed the middle one this trip. Bronte14 and I will need to return to complete the walk.
This hide took a little time to find but it set me up well looking for the next two.
Good hide found and logged at 0740hrs
TFTC and cheers

The last in this short series and this one took the longest to locate! It took a short systematic search before the container appeared. Thanks choppersrule
This may have been a good train spotting location in days gone by but there appears to be minimal, if any, activity by Thomas and his Friends these days. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. It was easier today as there wasn't a muggle to be seen. the cache and its contents were in good condition. TFTC choppersrule.
Walking on train tracks bring about a unique memory; I feel fairly fortunate that there were nary a muggle around to watch me traipsing around for this series. Having forgotten to pack my GPSr in for this trip, this was a great confidence booster despite the inaccuracy of phone caching. TFTC.
Found a long time ago. Just realised my phone has not logged it.
Thanks for giving another reason to visit the Inveresk precinct.

Had to do a bit of climbing to get to this one, as I was on the board walk, otherwise a quick easy find, TFTC
Nice quick find and a nice walk on our 'We haven't been out in a while, the local caches are building up, quantity not quality' trip! TFTC
In the area so we thought we'd have a look for this one even though we have logged it previously. Last time we were here we found it on the ground so this was our first proper hunt.
Quick find in it's new container. TFTC

I had to literally drag wilco away. I was worried about him hitting his head (again). This one can go on the watchlist for now.
Found this cache with a member of the choppers rules gang
A nice hide, and I can understand why it could be missed easily.
Thanks for the cache and the walk choppers rules

After success with "Train spotter too" and "Train spotter" we were disappointed not to find this cache.
Having parked near by I sent in sb8 who had found the other two in this series. After returning empty handered I sent him back for another look just in case,

A quick find but had to make a bit of a detour to retrieve cache and sign log.

Had a really good look, or should I say looked for a while, but didn't find it. Thought being a magnetic it should be reasonably easy, only so many metal bits to attach it too. But noooo! We'll have to come back another day.
Well, this one had us fooled. When we saw GZ we thought it'd be a quick find. Not so. We checked every nook and cranny for quite a distance either side of GZ without success until the smaller half of nutwood casually picked up a piece of apparent rubbish blowing along the ground and so found the cache.
A brilliant, random hide but I suspect that it's not how the CO intended it to be!
We securely replaced the cache somewhere about where we suspect it should have been but it might pay for the CO to check, just in case we got it wrong.

First of 4 caches that I did from my parking spot this morning.
This is a great walkway but the cahe hides along here are such that you can do them without detection from muggles above.
Thanks

First attempt failed when rain interrupted the hunt. Today was overcast but at least wasn't raining. The Niche market had lovely stuff too.
Had to get one for international geocaching day. Beautiful day for a walk along the North Esk. Unfortunately didn't have a pen to sign the log.
Easy find especially after finding the first two of this series. TFTC - still need to find the other one close by that is doing my head in...
Found on a lovely winter's day. Parked nearby and made a quick find. Didn't have time before a lunch date to look for the others in the area. We'll be back.
Cloudy day and GPS was indicating the middle of a gravelly area. Remembering the pattern of nearby caches I located this one easily. TFTC
Damn. Beaten to the FTF by Tassie trekkers again! By 3mins. Well done Tassietrekkers. See you on the next FTF. Tftc.
Woo Hoo *FTF* @ 20:05hrs. Night caching again, great fun thanks choppersrule-gang.
