Wallsend to Glendale PT15 Glendale, New South Wales, Australia
By cccritter7 & 88jaz88 on 20-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3QWAG

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.

Set out today to finish what we started...at the Glendale end. 1 GPSr settled right over the spot, but of course they're always out, so we ignored the obvious and looked around the spot instead! Eventually the cache was found. No slithering surprises today, thank goodness! TNLNSL / TFTC

We started backwards. This was tricky to find.

Quick find - first of a brown snake curled up under a rock. Nearly caused me to have matching coloured pants! Then found the cache container ever so quickly & cautiously. BE CAREFUL HERE - ideal spot for slithering surprises! SL / TFTC

Lucky last. Now time for a milkshake

Quick find tftc

Hardest to find searched thru logs..... Turns out I lifted some rocks then walked away from it..... Took another few mins to find

nice and easy very quick find

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

Retraced geofriends footsteps,
No surprise he missed it...

quick find for the 12th day of geocaching in august. TFTC

YES 15!!!! We finally got here... oh no we have to walk back!!

This one was a little more difficult but we eventually got there.

Thanks for the series, 15 in under 2 hours, you gave me my personal best!

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.

One down

Found #15.

Part 15 found!

Pleasant walk on a Tuesday arvo. Thanks for the series.
Enjoyed the sit-down to find it.

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.

Last one done

#186

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.

Few young muggles about. Had to wait a while, then got searching, but to no avail.

6476 + 819 = 7295. 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 - like the hint. Now off to the Puzzle GZ !

Thanks again cccritter7 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

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

More great side tracks. Mum again.

[:x]

Last know GZ. Kids were mucking around on the tracks, didn't realize we were on top of GZ.

Fairly straight forward here guys, thanks

Scooby Doo said i had to put this one down as a favourite.
WHY ?
Because it is the last one

And we saw a lizard.

I think we deserve a GOLD MEDAL ( instead of a gold rock )

The cache took us a little while to find because there were a few gold rocks.
But then we read the hints again and found it quickly.

Thank you to everyone involved in hiding these caches.
It was set in a beautiful location on a lovely well maintained walking / riding path.

THANKS everyone involved

Finished the series today. Tftc

Good start on track

First Cache . Rummaging around not knowing what to look for, made for a great day. TFTC

Left from what side? Which yellow rock! Oh, that one....15 down all done, now for the extra cache....

Super speedy with SuperDog Max on the job with us!

Our 6697th overall find.

Today we completed the series with the three girls. A great day for a ride. While Shell gave the kids a bit of a bite to eat the mozzies also dined on all the girls. I made the find.

Thanks cccritter7 for the cache.

Nice walk

Nice track, TFTC!
=O)

Nice PT cccritter a couple missing along the way but over all very enjoyable thanks for the effort you put into getting this one up and running

Found at 9:12 AM GAFF1. A satisfying feeling that I have got to nearly the end and finally left those pesky mozzies behind. Now to try and work out the final with 3 numbers missing
Thanks cccritter7.

Finally

Finally

It was strange to see a family of grey kangaroos this far west of Mt Sugarloaf-- I'd only ever seen swamp wallabies in the area.

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 [:(!]

Nice little path for a stroll.

Quick find, TFTC

Reperio at 1850.

Well after spreading this series out over the past couple of months picking up one cache at a time...this was the last of the preliminary caches before heading off to the final one tomorrow. This was a nice little spot to have a mini power trail.

Gratias cccritter7.

Gotcha!!!
Now to sit and calculate final GZ.
TFTC.

Last one. Now have the c-ords for the Mystery cache but will have to come back another day to grab it as we run out of time.TFTC.

Great little hide!!!

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 12:40, 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, Found this one in the Dark will return for the Mystery Cache another day
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 the end... easy to find as hide very well, thanks

Nice day for a walk to do this series TFTC

Off to the final.
SL TFTC

We visited this area after talking to fellow caches in Maitland. TFTC.Cheers

Been a while since I trotted out the bike but you don't forget, TFTC cccritter7!!

This morning we rounded up a few loose caches then after lunch decided to this series as it was such a nice day for it.
Thanks cccritter7

A caching day with TheMonks.
The final cache is found and we now have all the info for the mystery cache. On we go for the final walk and search.
TNLNSL TFTC

Mystery cache found. Now just have to wait for it to be published so we can log it.

Thanks, cccritter7, this has been an enjoyable series, and a great event for families with kids. Well done.

Hi guys ! Thanks for the feedback on the powertrail. The final cache listing is on its way as the reviewer wanted to know if all the caches that were involved in the final cache were published. Thanks

Yeah! We've done it and collected all the numbers along the way.
We worked out that the final, special cache container was a little way futher on so we decided, in the dying light, to head the 3+km's back to the car and drive around to the final/special cache.
Can we ask why the final/special cache hasn't been published? Hard to log a find when there's no published cache (we noticed that about 4-5 others have signed the log in the final/special cache. Please get it published to that we can log it.
A few minutes before reaching this 15th cache we passed a couple walking their two foxies. They were heading towards Wallsend. On our way back to our car we passed them heading back towards the Glendale end. As we approached the final/special cache we passed them again ... said hi again. They must have wondered what we were up to... LOL
Anyway, we'd like to thank you for bringing us to this great walk. We had an awesome walk and got a lot of great exercise. Don't need to go for a walk when we get home after this great walk.
Left an alphabet stencil in the final/special cache.

Number 15 of the Newcastle power trail, well this is it we have completed the series and grabbed all the info we need to proceed to the bonus cache. We had a lovely time strolling through here and grabbing all the caches as we went. The series was a great idea and we appreciate the effort cccritter7 and 88jaz88 put into getting it up and running. We now have all the info we need to get the final bonus cache so that will be our next stop. TFTC

Well we finally finished this caches. Only took an hour. Time to stroll all the way back to the car. 16 caches tonight was good enough for us thanks guys for the series. Cant wait for the final cache to appear. I'll keep a look out so I May be able to beat team unibolt this time

All done. Number 15 found
