Wallsend to Glendale PT13 Elermore Vale, New South Wales, Australia
By cccritter7 & 88jaz88 on 20-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3QWAD

It has come to my attention that this series is creating an impact on the surrounding environment. Geo-trails are forming and weeds are being spread due to the nature of these hides.

The guidelines state: "Geocaches are placed so that plant and animal life are safe from both intentional and unintentional harm. "

As a result, I am archiving this series to avoid further damage to the environment and to use these containers for some more "unique" style hides.

Thank You for all the unreal logs and comments over the past 17 and a half months.

Well this cache was a little trickier to find straight away because we were too scared to put hands between boulders but the cache was soon in hand. Funny how the logs make more sense after you have found it! TNLNSL / TFTC

Not as hard to find as 15 but still took quite a bit of searching.

Took a little while to spot this one and I was intrigued by the 'fury' reference in the clue. Wasn't sure what to expect - then had a good chuckle! TNLNSL / TFTC

I tore the rock wall apart (putting it back afterwards) but no deal?

Ha ha got to give some favourites for this trail and the efforts associated so one might as well be here. Tftc

Grabbed this one to fill up the calendar only just catching up on logging caches

decided to finish off this series today. This guy was a tight fit in his little hidey hole. TFTC.

GPS scrambled under tree cover, hardest find so far, still took no time at all

quick find after finding the fury round friend

Nice looking cache! Love it

My first cache in Australia! Was out exploring and I thought I would log this serie of caches. A nice walk to Glendale, and then a nice run back to Wallsend. All of the caches were an easy find accept the last one that I had to think a few minutes until I could find it. Thanks for this nice serie

Finished the 31 days in August challenge.
now to see how long i can keep it going.

Another emergency cache,
after failing a few others today.

Tricky but found it

Ok so today was a classic example of not doing your homework. I had no idea this was on a cycle so I ended walking the whole thing with my friend.

A few were a bit tricky but we managed to get them all. I had no idea this was here so thank you for introducing me to the cycle way.

TFTC

Managed to trek this all by foot with a fellow geo friend, after the first 4 we realized bicycles would of been much better if we both did our homework before trekking.

A few were a bit hard to get at first but we managed to get all of them in the end.

Overall, a lovely afternoon along the path which we never had known it existed.

TFTC

You sure did serve up an ace fit this cache

Found #13

Part 13 found!

Pleasant walk on a Tuesday arvo. Thanks for the series.

Found by Nanny and Bo on a glorious winter afternoon.
We had came to Newcastle to do caching with Fattyacid.
This was typical of the finds all along this lovely and highly recommended walk/cache experience.
Signed the Log.
Took Nothing and Left Nothing.
Thanks For The Cache.

Only just fit my hand in

#188

Thanks for the cache Cccritter7.

With freezing hands and faces, Cccritter7 and I set off on our great Geocaching adventure. We started with the Toolbox series on the Fernleigh Track, then found the Balls-Out series in the Kahibah Sports complex. After this, a few stand alone caches in Kahibah/Charlestown. We then zoomed down the Pacific Highway on our bikes. After a perilously steep hill in Windale, we searched for the 'Nature Bird' Series in Tingira Heights. It wasn't the greatest time to take these on, as there was some very muddy tracks. After a spot of lunch along the way, we completed the majority of the caches and came down to the shore of Lake Mac. We picked up the Billion Dollar Boardwalk Series, then went on a long ride along the beautiful Lake Mac, ending up at Mega Fun. We then headed to The Leaning Red Gum cache at Glendale. After that we enjoyed a McFlurry at Macca's, before setting off for the Glendale to Wallsend Power Trail. After completing this, we tiredly set off home, exhausted but tired after an awesome day of GeoCaching.

Wes got one!

On a roll now

6474 + 819 = 7293. Found during a brief morning run in the Newcastle area.

Had just enough time to walk this power trail and then get back to the car before having to leave Newcastle. Parked near number 1 and started the walk. Quick find for this one - a careful find as well. It was passing back this way after finishing the PT that I bumped into the Scouts Group again - well done to them !

Thanks again cccritter7 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Really, we have to stop!

[:O)] Team Work. Scouts Australia Competition.

Were off down the hill. Stop, Dad said Stop. We just got going.

[:x]

Overshot this one, but found it never the less. Crossed Fitzy on his way back.

Almost finished It's been fun

Sadly we could not find this one.
We looked for a long time , both on the way up and on the way back down.
Could not find it anywhere and my phone was starting to go flat.
We had to give up and put it down as a DNF.
Just too many rocks to look under.
1 DNF out of 15 is not too bad.

TFTC everyone involved.

Finished the series today. Tftc

Got ir

I couldn't find the required number of rocks, a muggle gave me a bum steer as to which side was the Wallsend side, yet I still found it! 13 down 2 to go.

Super speedy with SuperDog Max on the job with us!

Our 6699th overall find.

Today we completed the series with the three girls. A great day for a ride. Mozzies absolutely everywhere. I think the cache has suffered a small amount of creep.

Thanks cccritter7 for the cache.

Nice walk

TFTC!
=O)

Nice power trail Thanks cccritter

Found at 9:04 AM GAFF3. I could actually see the mozzies coming at me here! So a frenzied search was instigated, and after swiping as many of the lousy pests as I could I had to keep still for a few moments to sign the log book - boy did they have a feast during that moment of torture!
Thanks cccritter7.

I was a bit afraid of snakes on this one

Notice! This area is an outcrop of the 'Belmont Fossil Insect bed' !!! ... If you look carefully, you can see fossillized remains (of mostly plants) in must of the chert-like rocks here! ... Even one of the rocks being used to hide the cache is full of plant fossils!

The premise of this series was that it'd be a really cool little ride and a quick string of caches, today ,for me it was an annoying series plagued, literally by mosquitos and Muggled(?) caches. I don't often complain but have to this time, owner maintenance is required due to several missing caches as already logged by others. And top of my so and so day, the battery went flat real quick and my backups hadn't been charged [:(!]

Reperio at 1930.

After spending the last two weeks in NZ, it was time to revisit this power trail to pick up another cache for the day. Hadn't been along here this late, and I was surprised by how many mozzies there were...especially when I had to stop and sign the log by torchlight.

Gratias cccritter7.

Thanks!

Gotcha!!! TFTC.

Geodog nearly chewed container!!!!

Today I had the opurtunity to get back here and pick up the remaining caches on my bike.

I have to say it wasn't that easy on the bike as I had to unclip, reclip my shoes, put the bike down, pick the bike up, every couple hundred metres or so.

None the less, I had a great time. TFTC's.

A really great power trail for our first - nice scenery, cows, horses, ponies, plenty of caches, and easy hides. Very enjoyable experience for the whole family. Thanks for bringing us on this great walk.

great walk and a nice day. TFTC.

A very nice walk with friends and their 4 daughters. They are going to start Geocaching now have them hooked by this walk. We met cccritter7 during our walk had just replaced cache No.7

A quick find to interrupt our bike ride. Thanks for the hide.

A pleasant walk on a pleasant day. About an hour 40 from the first to the bonus. Thanks.

Found 12:30, we decided to walk this trail to walk off breakfast and kill some time prior to heading out to the HISS, to watch the Melbourne Ice win their third AIHL championship in a row

TNLN, CSI=2, thanks cccritter7.

We started the trail at 10.30am and finished at 1pm. We took the geo-dog Smelly Ellie with us. It was quite an easy walk between caches with Mrs C looking at ALL the rocks along the way. We greatly enjoy powertrails and appreciate the work that goes into placing them. Thanks guys for the exercise and caches.

Nice Cache, Great Cycleway, TFTC

Beauitful day today, go out for a day at Wallsend area, Great easy stroll on nice path from 1 to 15, approx 2km... Enjoyed... easy to find as hide very well, thanks

A caching day with TheMonks.
Took a bit longer to uncover this cache than the previous in the series as it had been well secreted by previous finder.

Getting close to the end and the sun is almost set. Getting a little chilly now.
