First Road Reconstruction Vineyard, New South Wales, Australia
By Morley196 on 21-Jul-12. Waypoint GC3QZJT

I needed 30 cache finds today and tomorrow to hit a certain unofficial Milestone by Friday. For years I have intended to cache my way 'up the Windsor Road'. I decided this afternoon to do as much as I could. All was going well until the rain started, and even though I persevered in it for a while, my innings was called off due to ran. TFTC Morley196

TFTCFirst find of 2024

Mr Minion and I wanted to test out our new bikes today, so headed down to do this trail. Sadly, a lot of the caches are in need of some TLC. Thanks for the cache Morley196 tnln replaced as found sl

Powered along Old Windsor Road with Jennyfromthefarm on a nice sunny day. Only one or two people about and lots of cars passing by oblivious to what we were doing. Lots of interesting history to read about along the way. Lots of interesting history to read about along the way.

Phew no spiders

Thanks for a great trail along Windsor Road. TFTC

No.15 find for the day. Found alongside Geo Buddy, Mystic Seer who came along for the ride and to find some previously missed hides along the bike path. A fairly straight forward find, with CIH, SL. TFTH Thanks to the CO, Morley196 for bringing us to this area. Cheers.

TFTC. First one dry enough to write on.

Nice day for a ride.

TFTC found with Twinkletoes7202

TFTC Had picnic on Hawrkesbury. Jumped out car with geo hubby to walk to Vineyard & finish off the Windsor Rd caches. Lets see how far we get.

easy find removed spiderwebs for you

Tftc, the magnet had disconnected from the inside of the lid. Little bit of glue and it will be all better

TFTC, quick n easy, did my duties and off to the next one on this early morning find.

Having this power trail sure helps to keep a streak going. So it was a few more found and all were easy finds. This one was in good condition with room on the log to sign. TFTC.

#2659 after going to a ANZAC Day dawn service at Lalor Park headed off in this direction while passing remembered that there was a couple of multiple nearby. Decided to walk a bit further had a bit of a look for Vineyard Church but didn't spend too long there so kept on going but with my shoelaces coming undone had to stop at GZ soon had the cache in hand

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache Morley196. Lest We Forget

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Vineyard for a short three day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Avina Caravan Park, and planning on exploring the areas around Vineyard, McGraths Hill, Mulgrave, Windsor, Wilberforce, and Ebenezer. And being the final weekend of the Cache Carnival (ends Monday) we will be looking to maximise our score on the Friends Leaderboard.

After dropping the rest of the family back at the caravan park I decided to do a solo mission to grab some more of the caches along the Windsor Road cache trail, parking the geomobile at the start of Bandon Road and then heading off along the bike path on foot. This was our 26th find of the day, and 39th find of the holiday.

Continuing along the pathway towards Windsor, and another quick find at this one. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found. On to the next one. TFTC Morley196.

Find #3083

TFTC!

Cool hide! TFTC

On a really hot 40-degree afternoon I set out from McGraths Hill, and walked the Windsor Road series from that point all the way to Rouse Hill Town Centre, picking up every cache in range that I could get my hands on.

It took four-ish hours, and I consumed about two liters of liquids (a combination of water and electrolytes), then proceeded to sweat it all out.

Thanks heaps for placing the caches along this trail - as sweltering as it was, t’was a nice glimpse into the relatively quiet northwest before it all falls into the inevitable suburban sprawl. The sun was amazing despite being hot and I had some proper Aztec Camera vibes going the distance as the sun made its way to the horizon.



I initially overshot this by a good few meters, then doubled back and got it all sorted out,

Quick park and grab
Thanks for the cache

Tftc - Waiting for a friend to finish up at a nearby church and decided to do some more of the Windsor road caches.

Companions: None
Weather: Grey winter's morning
Cache condition: Good

TFTC!

I did the WRPT years ago (in large chunks at a time), and for some reason didn't get to this one. It was probably missing at the time. Today I made the find easily. The attachment method inside the container is loose, and it came out with the logs. Looks like it just needs more glue, Morley. SL and headed back to the car to head over towards Mulgrave station for some Blundo Buster caches. TFTC and the series, Morley!

A great day for a bike ride in western Sydney with my granddaughter. Thanks to the COs for all the caches... and to those who helped maintain them.

We left early this morning to get as many caches as we could along this trail. Ended up getting just over 80 so it was a very good day. Thanks for all the caches.

Found by Mary & David at 1830. Definitely our last for the day. Wish we could do your whole series, but we're on our way to the Mega and time won't allow it this time. A FP for the interesting cache notes, the trail, and for our fun and entertainment. Our thanks to Morley196.

Always love caching with this group, a fun day out on this trail chasing planets. Thanks to all COs for the caches.

A fun day of caching with friends around Windsor.

Out with the gang collecting caches along Windsor and Richmond roads. It was a medium long pedal but a great day. Disappointingly we had to replace a few containers along the way but no biggie either since the effort should breath some life back into the trail. TFTC.

Out on a bicycle caching run with geobuddies along both the Richmond and Windsor Rd trails and also grabbing any other caches in-between.
Overall our day was a whooping 10hrs on the bikes and we all enjoyed every pedel of the way.
We found a total of 87 caches today so I apologise for my repeated logs,
Thanks to all the cache owners for providing us with a great day out.
TFTC

I’ve been keen to start on this Power trail for some time now.
Today I set off on a two hour public transport journey to reach the southern end of the trail.
I arrived a little later than I’d hoped due to life getting in the way of caching this morning.

Great history along this trail and a nice walk.

Quick grab tftc

Found it OK. Thanks for adding to our caching experience as we have only just started in this game.

Another quick find, thank.

Needing some exercise I headed out early today and after parking the geomobile headed off to grab these caches along the pathway. Lots of interresting hides and a few DNF's to add to a fun day. After finding each cache and signing the logs all were returned as found.

My apologies for the generic logs.

TFTC Morley196

Out for a bike ride with SeeMyShell this morning.. The track took a while because we got distracted by the two pubs along the way, and probably spent more time in there than riding the bikes ...It is Christmas time after all Most caches were found in good order with 52 finds and 6 DNFs for me today.. Thanks for the caches and adventure!

This promises to be a long day on the heat on foot - walking from Rouse Hill to Windsor - at least it gets me some calorific credit for Christmas!

A quick find. TNLN TFTC

Quick find on overcast day. Thanks for the cache

Been wondering how many a solo cacher could reasonably find in daylight hours. Made an attempt today to celebrate a major life milestone. Started near the South end of the Old Windsor Road 'power trial' and cycle-cached my way North. The initial target was to make 40 but managed to complete that before noon. So continued on to Windsor. 50 finds came up just before Windsor with still a few hours left before needing to get back to the Eastern Suburbs for an engagement. So picked off a few more caches on either side on the ride back to the car. Tally for the day (in 7 hours 45 minutes): 63 finds and 7 DNFs. A big thank you to Morley196 for making this outing possible.

39th find of the day. Nice hide. TFTC

Our first time in this part of the country, and what a great way to see the area and learn about it. Always love a series we can do on our bikes.
A very nice coast downhill to this one. Had to get off the bike, but not far at all.
Enjoying the series and ride on a lovely spring day.

OCW Rodney1210. I had previously completed some of this PT so Rodney did the catching up thing this morning and then we carried on together after that. We walked the track and completed most of it today bar a few DNFs and a few we ran out of time for.

My apologies for the same log over and over. I really appreciate the effort you have gone to create and maintain this PT. Given that we were chasing numbers today, these caches made for quick and easy finds. Thankfully the rain held out and we made it back to the car just as it began to fall.

I look forward to avenging the DNFs once they're active again and completing the last few caches and mystery final. TFTPT!

OCW Coastblue Big day as we tackled the Windsor Power trail. Coastblue had already found a few so I got started early and caught up until she joined me. Overall I found 46 with 7 DNFs and a few we didn't go for as they'd been muggled. Great day out, we managed to avoid the rain and finish before sunset! Cache# 346 TFTC

Log was full. So we added some paper. TFTC

Good info! TFTC!

Loving this epic bike ride... log is full... TFTC

Found this cache as part of a morning's walk to find some more of the caches along the Windsor Road powertrail. TFTC.

Today was the day for the Windsor to Rouse Hill trail.

I started off by parking on Court Street in Windsor, unfolding the push-bike and get on the road. In total I found 67 caches, and 5 non founds. At the end of the day, the GPS showed a total track distance of 18.6 km.

Another good find! Thanks for the cache!

On a walk from Windsor to Rouse Hill today, grabbing caches on the powertrail.
Interesting how times change in the caching world: I tried to hide a pretty similar setup in Queensland couple of years ago but got told off by the reviewer. As an afterthought, it was for all the right reasons and it was time when it seemed the cache placement criteria were tightened. But this one being older and seen fully OK back then does continue to service the odd bypasser who's interested in finding caches.

All good here. TFTC, Morley196!

Another find on this excellent powertrail. Found 70 out of 71 today with Brewmaker on an excellent day out. Please excuse the generic logs.

TFTC

Found it while attempting this power trail with delloro. We managed to grab 70 from 71 today!
A fantastic series Morley196.
