Did the rounds today. Found WP1 quickly - enjoyed wandering along the spillway. WP2 took much longer but it is still there! Coords a bit swirly but if you found WP1, WP2 shouldn't be beyond you! WP3 took a more extended search as there were a lot of likely spots but the camo really helped. WP3 paperwork is getting a little damp. Decided after this to head home to do all the calculations. It was getting a bit cold and dark and I already got two caches this morning so the streak is still alive. I'll be back! Rest assured though people - all WPs are in place!
A true adventure this one. Have to agree that terrain could use a bump to a 3 or even 3.5 around GZ. Almost gave up at GZ after an extensive search but pressed a little deeper upstream and there she was! Great hide - not at all what I'd been looking for. Log still dry. Stoked to be the first to find in almost a year. Picked up the TB too - it's been there way too long! TFTC FP for the fun times!
Got to WP 2 and looked for about half an hour in all the spots I would have expected to find it. The grass is quite long and hard to look in. May have been looking in the wrong spot but I think I might have been muggled or something.
Found after some help from 88jaz88. A small problem with a dyslexic moment made me reverse two digits which put GZ in the middle of the Charlestown Bypass which was obviously wrong. Fortunately 88jazz88 was kind enough to show me where my error was. The Final cache was still a challenge as it had just stopped raining and I nearly fell in the creek. This terrain is definitely not for Geograndma. Left a Travel Bug. Good Multi cache thanks 88jaz88.
First 3 way points were easy. Spent a bit of time searching for GZ but got it eventually. Tftc
Found with son.
Had no trouble with the first one.
Was looking a little off for the second one.
Fluked the third one by stepping on it.
Basic iphone calculator does not go to enough decimals.
Luckily already had "scientific" calculator app downloaded.
No problems with the maths.
Wandered around for a while on the fourth.
But finally managed to find it.
Must be a little more the the 2.5 terrain because of it.
(though I probably made it harder then necessary)
Son and I got a tick each, which was nice (found them before the started eating fortunately)
Thanks for the multi!

While on a day out with TeamSenz, we swung past this one. We parked the Geolux and made our way over to WP1 and began our number crunching. I did the calculations twice just to make sure, but with TS there as a guide he made sure I was heading in the right direction. I finally after a few more number crunchings, we were on our way to GZ. After a little scramble a nice hide was uncovered
TFTC 88jaz88, you made my head hurt, but in a good way

Finally got this one today. Had a bit of trouble getting to the final GZ, beware that it is quite a bit of fun getting to, probably a terrain 3-3.5.
Thanks for the cache 88jaz88.
Cccritter7 and I finally managed to leave on time today, for our third big GeoCaching ride of the holidays. We set off from Cccritter7's house, heading out to Mayfield to pick up a few. We then headed to Islington, riding through there to pick up a few mysteries in the centre of town. After, we headed off to catch a ferry, which we missed. Luckily, this meant we had enough time to repair Cccritter7's flat. We caught the next ferry over, grabbing a cache, seeing a massive brown snake, then racing back to try and get the ferry. We missed it, giving us time for lunch, and for my front wheel to go down. Cccritter7 also had some mechanical issues, so we stopped in at CNF for a pit stop. Once finished, back on the road caching. Up through Newcastle to Merewether along to Charlestown. We stopped for a break, then were off towards the bypass, picking up caches along the way. We then headed up through Garden Suburbs, then back home, tired yet joyful from an exhausting and hilly day of riding and caching.

Grabbed the first WP1, and have returned home to look for new coords as I don't have a GPS at the moment.
This cache has been and ordeal!
I've taken ages and multiple visits to unearth WP3, and then had to come back today for the finale.
After making my way to GZ, I still couldn't find anything, and had to resort to the PAF option to make sure I had the correct co-ords.
That done, but not much other information, and I kept hunting and widened my search.
And then I saw it. Totally different to what I had been searching for!!
Anyway, another DNF I can wipe off the list.

I'm giving this cache a favourite point as it meets these criteria:
It gets people out for a walk. It takes you to someplace you wouldn't know about or normally go. It keeps your brain active. And lastly, new, young cachers need encouragement.

Visit number 5, and I finally unearthed WP3!!
But I didn't bring my other numbers, so I'll have to come back. Damn!!!

Went to check on the 3rd WP and i discovered that it had been covered quite a lot from fallen sticks and leaves. Also found that the lid was off and the sheet of paper had rotted away. All fixed up now with new sheet. Have fun.
Well I did find WP1, after being concerned that muggles had recently had 'a party' breaking glass bottles nearby. Then found WP2. But WP3 eluded me, even tho I had a good CITO event of my own there.
Any chance of a check there?
Even tried to 'force it' by using what I did have, but you never know what 'twist' is in WP3.
TFTC, just needs a check on that blasted third waypoint

Another ( third ) search for WP3, but still no luck. I must be blind, or at least having a boy look!
Another day.
Another day.
Went for a pleasent bike ride to find this one. Brought along my trusty casio and figured out the equations! Thanks for the cache 88jaz88 and for the nice expedition!
Finally got out to finish this one as we got the first 2 WPs before the havoc event earlier this month, GZ was A pain as my GPS was all o et the shop telling me to take a dip in the water. After a bit of bush bashing the cache was soon in hand. TFTC guys!
I ventured out for this cache on a very pleasant morning.
WP1 was found quickly, and the maths done with the aid of my trusty phone/calculator.
Ventured on towards WP2, which took a bit longer to find, as it had fallen from its sticking spot and was in the grass.
Another lot of arithmetic (glad I had an abacus!!), and off to WP3.
Here, the wheels fell off, as I was unable to locate the container, even after a concerted search for over an hour.
Another day. I'll be back!

Reperio at 1830. FTF!
I was sitting at home when this one came online, so off I headed to WP1 to find out what awaited. Grabbed the info...and headed off to WP2 while I worked on the maths side of things. WP2 took a little longer to locate, but eventually got there...and then it was off to WP3. This one took even longer to find as it wasn't in any of the obvious spots...and in the end I found it by sheer dumb luck as I ran in to it so to speak and all was revealed. Sat down and worked through the numbers...came up with GZ...and headed back the way I had been. Once at GZ, the cache was located nicely hidden away.
A very nice multi. Loved finding and collecting the information all well presented...and the coords at each WP were spot on!
