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

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.

Thanks for placing ask these caches Morley196.

Found without a problem. OCW discobob3 TFTC

Thanks for a great trail along Windsor Road. TFTC

No.19 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.

Trying to get to 400 before NY. TFTC

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

Cache in good condition TFTC

With only a short time available today for caching, it was decided to pick up a few more of this power trail to keep the streak going. This was a nice easy find, the log was signed, all was replaced. TFTC.

Parked on side of road for this one

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 23rd find of the day, and 36th 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.

TFTC!

Today I go on in this series. Thanks for this cache.

Greetings from Czech Republic.

TFTC! On a run to 300... One to go!

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.



This one wasn’t as crazy as I thought it was going to be - which, given the absolute roaster that it was, turned out just fine for me.

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.

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.

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.

Tftc

Great info, TFTC

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. It must be 35 plus today! Silly day for a lunchtime walk. TNLN TFTC

Another gap in this trail filled. No idea why I missed it before! A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

Small tree now big tree but coords are good.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.

35th find of the day ... 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.
Overshot this one and had to walk Bach a few metres for a straightforward find.
The road seems to be getting busier, but still good riding.

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# 350 TFTC

GR8. We managed to maintain the perfect record for this cache. However, the GPS was a bit out, and it took us a few minutes to find it. TFTC

Fortunately it hadn't been raining - TFTC!

Love the slush... TFTC!!

Out night caching with Pitman Clan and AWTYOW. TFTC

Pitman Clan found this one while me and Dwight Shrute yelled encouraging instructions from the car... I'm not sure sure appreciated our assistance though! TFTC

Found. Another one I took for the team,

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!

Today is the day we decided to head west on the train to head towards the windsor rd power trail.

This was nicely hidden out of sight.

Found the cache today when out with contactpete and cry05 doing the Windsor rd trail. TFTC

Good spot. Tx

On a walk from Windsor to Rouse Hill today, grabbing caches on the powertrail.
My smartiephone compass pointed here to a slightly different location than where the container actually was found. Given how good the coords had been in the earlier caches, I followed the compass first but came out empty-handed. It was time to ditch technology and resort to good old caching sense...
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.

Cache note - Good condition. However muddy conditions

Took a while to locate the right spot, and almost gave up, but I got it. TFTC!

Well this is the day. I have been planned for a few weeks. I have borrowed a bike, helmet and puncher kit. But there is nothing I can do with my 52 year old leg that have not been on a bike for years. I have about 60 on the list for today a ride of about 28 km from Windsor to Rouse Hill and back. Thanks Morley196 for going to the trouble of placing all the cache with on the local history. Well done.
From all the caches I found I only found one clue for the mystery the was for the letter 5. I will need help to complete the mystery. TFTC.

#240 Tenth find of the day caching around Vineyard. Nice easy find after a short search. TFTC

Very muddy but cache intact. Tftc SL

Out and about in the area today finding caches.
After finding the nearby challenge cache and few trads on the way I am ready to tackle a section on the power trail.
All caches were quick finds, co-ords awesome and so could keep the heart rate up walking the line. [^]
I managed about 37 of them in total. Walking nearly 15km in the process (out and back to the car)
Past the half way point now. Heading west for a few now.
Thanks for the cache.

#3018 - Caution - muddy access. Quick find eventually! Many thanks to the cache owner ***Morley196*** for establishing and maintain this cache, along with this bike path series.
