Loaded Bases! Glenmore Park, New South Wales, Australia
By bisygisy on 27-Oct-12. Waypoint GC3VYB1

No shrub

Couldnt locate the cache two days ago as questions A and D could have different outcomes depending on how you count these. Reached out to CO for clarification as my other answers spot on. Was driving past The Northern Road today, hence a quick detour never mind todays temperature being 42 degrees C.SLTNLN with TBs Canadian Flag, Pittiplatsc, Corona Express Cruise Ship, Bierkrug, USA Bear, Technology Tag and Manon Ozzieland in tow. Gotta offload these TBs sooner.

#12836 12:50A drive around the Penrith are to pick up some of the many caches that show up on my map .TFTC

Found it lots to of searching and lots of thinking but super fun

OCW frazeydaze on the way to Blackheath for the weekend. After collecting the information we headed over to gz where after a few minutes it was CIH withgoodcoordsandthehint. TFTC bisygisy.

Caching with oldmorty on the way to Blackheath.
Neaded to change one of the numbers to get some more likely coords.
Well done oldmorty for getting in there.
Thanks to bisygisy for the multi.

Good duo find

We are on another short (four day) caching holiday in Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, staying for three nights in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains. Planning to collect some of the solved GFA puzzle caches around Luddenham and Wallacia, then visiting the Blue Mountains from Springwood to Wentworth Falls (over two days) for numerous Adventure Labs and other targeted caches.

We had no trouble getting the required information for a to d, but couldn't find the information for e and f. The inspection cover over by the trees near the motorway had no weight indication that we could find, and no protection rails, so we gave it up and moved on to better prospects.

Needed a quick find today for the Fill the Calendar cache. This one fitted the bill nicely. TFTC.

I arrived at the Event and was advised Crash was off looking for this. I ran off in his direction quick smart and found him rooting around in the rocks. After a lengthy search and a lot of pine needle removal we were still none the wiser. Whilst Crash went for a PAF I widened the search and came up trumps. The hint was a bit misleading as the cache may have moved and is not near a shrub.

Managed to pick up most of the clues before the nearby event this afternoon. Took a stroll to GZ in light drizzle and started my search. Thankfully PPE turned up to help as my PAF was not very helpful . Eventually PPE found the container and we added our names to the log.
TFTC bisygisy

Did the counting and then the calcs. Though the inspection cover WP confused us, as we found a few of them around the park with different numbers of protection rails. Off to GZ where we found it well covered by natural flora. Put a rock over the camo for extra camo. TFTC

It was baseball league day. Fortunately the baseball muggles showed as much interest in what I was doing, as I did in their activities. Collected all required data calculated GZ. Easy find at a more secluded GZ. This cache brings up my 6000 milestone. I'm giving it a favourite point. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC bisygisy

Buried under a lot of leaf litter as it has not been found in a while but luckily one of the first few spots I checked. I loved the walk around the lakes and sporting complex. TFTC

We were out this afternoon with ilook4geo and picking up some caches around the Glenmore Park area. Needed some help to get the numbers sorted but managed to find the container OK after hunting with others attending the event nearby. Thanks go to bisygisy for placing this cache to be found on a hot but relatively muggle free day.

This was one of the caches we found today with goingplaces2. Logs were all signed and caches were replaced as they were found. TFTC.

Found while attending an event nearby thanks bisygisy for placing & maintaining this cache

Log 2234 Streak Day 1122

I was out here in country Sydney for the January Event so thought I should collect some caches here in Glenmore Park while I'm here.
The fields certainly look green and lush here, which surprised me what with the drought and all the bushfire smoke.
It wasn't even as hot here as I expected!

With a bit of networking at the event we managed to sort out our numbers and come up with a possible GZ. A short walk then a really long search and I eventually uncovered the cache. The drought certainly has provided lots of extra camo here for this cache.

TFTC # 3808

After some help working out what I was looking at, made the find.TFTC.

17 October 2019
This is find number: 3713
Streak Day: 1400

Found today, my 2nd visit trying to find the correct info. An easy find once at gz today. Thanks

Thanks to bisygisy for placing and maintaining this cache.

TFTC

Found at 13:53.
The nearest cache to home, but for some reason i struggled with this one. Had the the right location the first time but kept double guessing the number of things sending me on a goose chase.
I spent more time this round searching the original spot and soon had the cache in hand for find #600!
Cache in good condition, hidden very well under the leaf litter.
Thanks!

Two years ago, when we were still on our caching L plates, we collected the data and DNFed. We returned today, more experienced and also with a new etrex, which is much more accurate than our old one. A very good spot for a cache. Nicely out of sight and well protected from the weather and muggles. A FP. TFTC

Second visit in two days to Glenmore Park area with the primary objective of completing a mystery and a multi I started but didn't have time to finish yesterday.
Tally for the day: 20 finds, 2 DNFs and 2 CRPs ("cycled right past"s)
- - -
This was the multi that I wanted to complete today. In falling light, I gathered the clues yesterday but it became way too dark to go searching (and I didn't have lamps on my bike). Overnight, a quick email and CO indicated that provided my coords were in a certain landmark, it is correct. A quick check on Google Earth suggests the coords indeed were good.
Today, rolled up to GZ, stopped for a quick snack *in situ* then started searching. It only took two minutes to find a container in good condition. Although I did wonder what else might be hiding in there - seems to be perfect winter hideaways for slithery types.
TFTC bisygisy

Nice quick multi for the day tftc

I think our calculatons were a little off on this but once we arrived at GZ used geo sense and wasnt long before CIH.

#3975 (1 of 3 today)

Decided to head out west this afternoon. There are two previous DNFs to avenge and one previous find that has been archived and relisted.
So thought I could clear them out. Found all three!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
I'd met the CO at a recent event, and discussion had turned to this cache.
I'd not found it and he was good enough to confirm that I had the right GZ, and gave me a hint to work with.

Started searching. So many possible spots - just glad there were no muggles to be seen. And then I spotted a hint of a container. Nice spot.

Opened it to confirm that I was the first to find in over 6 months - unloved days for me.
Took a short distance to complete signing duties and then back for the replace.

Now off to my next target.

I have placed a new question until I make it down there to review. Therefore I am re-enabling the cache.

Apparently first question needs re-working as the sign is missing. Will try to get to it this soon.

This has been on my to-do list for ages. I even had the sheet printed out ready. Today I decided to head to Glenmore Park to look for a couple of other caches, and as school wasn't out yet, headed here. Parked car and with sheet and pen in hand, started to wander to answer the questions. One of them had me puzzled, so I decided to answer how I thought and see if I ended up in the right place. Another I was unsure of, so I thought this could take some time if I had to substitute some answers. However the original answers proved to be correct and I soon had cache in hand. Signed log and returned as found. Did some birdwatching on the way back to the car. There are always Purple Swamphens around here and today didn't disappoint. TFTC

I had to meet the geo-widow in Penrith this afternoon, which gave me the chance to do a few caches that had sprung up in the area since my last visit ... and also to seek atonement for a couple of DNFs I'd had then. This was one of those that I had missed out on last time ... but today, it took only a minute or so for me to spot the hide, plus a couple of minutes more to extract the tight fitting cache from its hidey hole.

Thanks for placing this multi bisygisy, I enjoyed it very much ... and also for quickly confirming, when I asked, that my calculations for GZ last time were spot on.

Liked this one. Found waypoints and a quick find at gz. Nice day for a walk around here. Fav point.Tftc

My geo-widow had a specialist's appointment in Penrith this morning and afterwards, she did her thing (ie shopping), while ventured into Glenmore Park, an area I've tended to shy away from on previous visits because I keep getting lost in the maze of streets there, in search of a few caches.

I enjoy doing multis but because the weather wasn't that great today, I was going to pass this one this time around. But having walked across the fields to grab a nearby trad, I figured I might as well find the answers I needed on this one while I was heading back to the car. No problems with the questions except that I found I had to retrace my steps to where I'd been previously to get the answer to the last two. Back in the car, I did the necessary calculations and came up with the location of GZ (about 300m from where I was parked) before heading off in search of some fractured phrases.

A while later, I was passing quite close to where I had figured GZ to be, so took the opportunity to have a quick look around. Unfortunately, though, I was unable to spot the cache, so it will now have to wait for a return visit on a better day weatherwise ... but it also gives me a chance to recheck my calculations since the GZ I came up with was a little remote from where I would expect GZ of a themed multi to be. In the words of Gen Macarthur, "I shall return!"

Alnic39 was in the area and I asked nicely if a cache check for me could be done. All is good here. Cache still in place.

No luck. Pretty sure we were in the right place at the end but no luck finding cache b

We enjoyed the walk around the park. Unfortunately could not find the cache in the end. Bad luck.

Got it! Attempt number 2 with geokids. Heavy muggle hour at certain times but far enough away from fields. TFTC!

I was in the area for another geo-hobby so I stopped by. Did a cache check and I could see the cache without removing any of the camouflage material. Placed some more. All good to go.

Found an empty yellow container close to where we think it should be. Hope it hasn't gone missing

No yellow in the cache, therefore definitely not the cache. It is well hidden and I have my doubts it has gone walkabout so soon.

If a number of people are telling you the questions are ambiguous - ie not just me - then they are. Saying they aren't doesn't change that.
You have effectively admitted they are deliberately so by saying it is in the interpretation.

There's nothing wrong in being sneaky in the wording (many puzzles depend on it), but perhaps to stop people wasting some of their time going on wild goose chases, a Geochecker for GZ would be a nice service for future finders.

Did a cache check today. Hiding spot seems to have gone. Couldn't understand how as there were no tell tale sign of earth works. Had my spare cache in my hands and even though the cache is now slightly bigger it fitted nicely. Please make sure you place the ground cover back so the cache is nicely hidden.

The questions are not ambiguous. They were asked like that on purpose. If you read them correctly and answer them correctly you will get the exact co-ordinates. The previous finder has got it all wrong. Since when do opinions of others count as they may have made the same error. I may of created the ambiguity on purpose but if you are careful there isn't any.

Decided to head west this afternoon to grab some caches out Glenwood Park way.
Didn't find them all - missed a multi - but six solid finds, including avenging two previous DNFs.

Can't complain.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
And here is the DNF - over an hour of my life I'm not getting back!

As others have noted, at least two of the clues are ambiguous. From the wording I'm pretty sure I picked the right ones (one makes little difference and the other was clearly the wrong spot).

Nevertheless, after a reasonably pleasant stroll - ground was very soggy in places - I still wasn't totally happy with the location I calculated, but searched as close as I could get.
A number of possible hides but after 30 minutes nothing spotted.

Gave it up. I'll try for a previous DNF next - probably easier!

good place

#374 worked out a choice of 2 co-ordinates as wasn't sure about one of the stops, tried the first but realised that it couldn't be correct so then went to the second and had a short search and spotted the cache in the 3rd place I looked. Took away and signed then had to wait for a lady and her 4 little dogs to go past before I could replace. Thanks for the cache

found with blacktownman and goemonster10

found with blacktownman and goemonster10

Found no bug

Good hide. 8D

We found it.

My first ever geocache I found!

Met up with snoopy to gain an August souvenir. As we were wandering around in the dark we couldn't help but wonder why the CO wouldn't place waypoint markers for some if the questions . Regardless we still managed to find it after confirming some of the answers with a PAF. SL #1535 on streak #761 TFTC

Streak Day #390 - Met up with ris768 to do our daily cache and whilst i was waiting, i picked this one so we could get our souvenir, it was very cold and some of the clues required may need to be reviewed as a couple of them were not so clear, and we played the guessing game, anyhoo made the find and SL. TFTC

Clues are all OK. I verified with finders today and I feel clues are fine. It's all in the exact interpretation.

3 days but I found it! log book is a little mouldy but other then that what a hunt!

Visited this cache this morning, still where it is supposed to be. Intact and hidden safely away.

Yellow lid is surplus nothing to do with this cache.

Happy Hunting!

Couldn't find the cache but found a lot of rubbish and a yellow lid, concerned it may have been damaged? We were around the rocks

Decided this morning to get of and about , then the Boss rang and offered 2 tickets to the races, all expenses paid, accommodation, meals and all the grog. We just told him we going caching instead, sorry.. Then he said it's raining, we said the horses smell in the rain. So here we are.
Went around collected information, extended our search and soon found the cache. Not travellers. Lots of birds about. TFTC

I gathered the information a week ago but was not sure I had the correct numbers as I felt I may have misinterpreted a couple of the clues. I checked with the CO who kindly confirmed that I had the coordinates for GZ and today I re-visited the pleasant park to pick up the cache. It was found after a bit of a search, there are quite a few likely hiding spots.

The log book is a bit damp but is still quite signable.

Thanks bisygisy for this excellent multi. It gets a favourite point from me.

A simple multi that had me double checking my answers before walking back to a spot I was looking for a clue

Feeling guilty that this one is soooo very close to home and it wasn't yet a smilie face, the most junior T-rex and I set out to rectify the situation.

Ticking off the clues as we went, done, done, done.... where the heck is the inspection cover!?! A quick PAF to the CO and a helpful council worker (who was mowing the waist tall grass nearby) later we had it too.

Over to the GZ poke, poke, poke.... gotcha!

Can't believe we walk past this almost everyday, I always though it would be a good spot to hide a cache!

Swapped a big pile of love for a pokemon and a dino (what else do T-Rex's like to eat? oops! I mean collect...)

TFTC

Omg omg FIRST GEOCACHE FIND ahh, through the spider webs, through the annoying watching kids, i have succeeding in finding it, big thank yoU to lthurston188 for help wit the find.

Going on a journey always has its prizes, i left mine, so Finders Keepers :p TFTC

Tftc - tricky to find at first

Tftc! Good multi. Took a while to find the cache as it wasn't where i was expecting but found it in the end. got drenched in the rain though

Nice multi cache. Saw Muggles at 10 pm - tftc

A nice easy multicache. Finished in approx 20 minutes, TFTC.

Geochild found with jamie from jamie&jenna. They took geocoin.

Fun one

Just checking on the guy as I normally do while in Sydney and dropping off a couple of travellers from down south.
The cache was uncovered but all seemed to be in order so returned and covered as it was meant to be.

Thanks for the cache! A fun Friday afternoon with mini geo kid and friend I have just introduced to caching. Left a puzzle and grabbed a springy toy of some description.

Good fun. My first multi...was shown the way by a friend.

YAY - Finally found the cache after the 2nd attempt.

Great multi cache!!

Signed Log and Left Something!

Black snakes were out in force this morning enjoying the sunshine!

Finally after 2 hours of looking we found it. Good hide. Very hard. By the way guys an inspection cover is like a man hole.
Well done
TFTC

Tftc

Looked for an hour and couldn't find it. What is the inspection cover by the way? Will need to contact the person who placed the geocache. Upset not to find it after an hour of looking with my friends

Back in Sydney for another visit and it was time for us to part company, happy travelling and we may meet again.

Requiring a cache for my geocaching calendar, GeoWife and I selected this one as we were in Penrith.

After avoiding the mower man on several occasions we crisscrossed the fields to collect the required information. Unfortunately, I made a mistake with one and had to retrace my steps.

Eventually the correct coordinates were calculated and we set off to GZ. The cache was located without too much difficulty, log signed and few pictures taken.

Tks ... bisygisy ... GazMag

#1,895

We came down to Glenmore Park to see bikerbuddy's mother on Mothers Day, and I realised I was really close to this one. So we took a tiny detour on our way home so that I could look for it.

Got to GZ eventually and made a quick find by torchlight, after a feeling of deja vu.

Swapped trackables after signing the log.

Thanks

The ageing Bushfire visited this cache today to drop off a traveller from Geelong as I know that it is a secure cache and should not get muggled and dipped a few others in to get their mileage increased.

In Penrith today for a first aid course and thought I'd go for some multi's in the area. Found all waypoints and struggled to find the inspection pit. Did all the maths and punched in coords then off to GZ, at where again struggled then finally located the well hidden sucker. Nature has added extra camo, SL Thanks Bisygisy
SL,

found with the family as i wanted to collect my Mario TB to move him on when we go on holidays thanks for the cache

TFTC

A nice quick find and only one for this vey hot day.

Searched longer than we should have! Called CO to confirm in right GZ. Reaffirmed the hint and to keep looking! Took tb. Left tb. Thanks for the walk around!

The ageing Bushfire is heading for home and decided to call back to this cache and drop off Barbars travels TB as it is a secure cache.

The ageing Bushfire needed a cache find on December the 8th and after a hint from the CO as I have been here three times and also once for the original cache that was placed at this location.
After the find the hint makes much more sense and is a very good hide.
Cachers seem to shun multies these days as they are after numbers and not looking for well set out caches that take a bit of time finding.
I enjoyed doing this cache but struggled at GZ but with a bit of prompting the log was signed below a well known cacher in this part of Sydney (Rainbow Spirit) of Bifrost fame.
Thanks to bisygisy for the work involved in setting up this cache and the help.

I'm sure the designers of this area got their ideas to confuse people with curving roads from Canberra.....mmmm. Oh, the cache was an easy find, great coords and clues. Thanks bisygisy.

#1511- (Just realised that I dated the logbook for yesterday) We nicked out this afternoon to grab my one for today! We had no sooner got out of the car when it started to thunder, there was lightning and large drops of rain, so it was a quick run around before the heavens opened. Did the first few unaided then asked for a bit of help from a previous finder who was with us, as we didn't want to be getting soaked. Found GZ- a familiar spot not far from my sister in laws. Kids were very keen to get back in the car, since by when it was fairly torrential.(Of course, after we left, it cleared quickly- isn't it always the way?) Thanks bisygisy and congratulations on your first multi.

A very quick run with mum and my brother- dad helped too, but he'd already found it before.

Quick find with the family in the pouring rain.

I had been planning on doing this one later in the afternoon, but the lure of a possible FTF for another cache drew me down to Glenmore Park this morning. My sister lives close to this cache but she's just busted her foot.So I decided to give this one a go alone and visited her afterwards.

I remember turning up to these coordinates for an earlier cache. It was a traditional that had been muggled almost the same day it was published. There was a whole group of cachers who bumped into each other that day.

Most of the cache was straight forward, except for a little calculation error that I hear Canary and Hoogies also had trouble with. I thought I knew the logical place for the cache, but I was reluctant to search for it without knowing for sure. So I rang Hoogies to confirm - that's how I found out they had the same problem - and then I took a look and had it in a few minutes.

Thanks bisygisy, and congratulations on your first multi. Well done!

Published

FTF!!
Saw this one come up and was in the neighborhood, so thought i'd have fair odds at a first to find...
The fields were completely empty so had a nice pleasant wander finding all the different parts. Got the location for the GZ, and having lived not 100m away in the past, knew I was in for a search.
Spent a good while searching the area until I finally came across the cache, with an untainted log book!
Tftc!!

Found with Team Canary. We found the first few items but struggled with the inspection pit. Once found, It put us in a direction where we first looked while searching the waypoints. With an adjustment to an error made by myself, we made our way not very far away to the GZ co-ords. We had searched for 10 mins and no cache yet. Team Canary phoned the CO to make sure we were at the right Co-ords. Indeed, our maths was correct and we were at the right spot. Canary got into a spot to finally make the find. A good hide, easy for a small cache. Thanks for the multi cache, bisygisy. TFTC.

A great chance to walk around the park and chat with Hoogies who we met at the listed co-ordinates.

We made a mistake not reading clue a carefully, then had trouble finding the right spot for e and f.

But soon we off to the wrong GZ, before I realised the problem with a.

Then it took too long to find the well hidden cache, I had to confirm our GZ with the owner, but eventually I spotted it!?!
