Tardis (in disguise) just came back for another bit of fun. Can't really top what I said last time:

Here's me thinking Carrick speedway was a car-based thing but this looks more like horses for courses. Nice hide though.

We enjoyed this one, a nice challenge. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

2nd find for the day on the way home from a night in Evandale. We parked the campervan so as to obscure our activities and Mr Beetle spotted part of the cache as he approached GZ. Fortunately for me there was no racing today as Mr B would have been keen to attend. Thanks.

Hi bubbles1971

Found on a caching run up north with Oldsaint and CheesyPigs. A nice quick find even though a person was filling a water trailer nearby. When he went around the water tower I struck and retrieved the cache.

Then it was a matter of waiting for it to happen again before replacing it.

A nice hide

Hi bubbles1971
Today was the first day of a two caching expedition with Budgietas and Cheesy Pigs. The day was fine and just what you want for caching.
Left Huonville at 0700hrs, met up with the two other finders and left for Launceston about 0900hrs. Got back to Huonville on the first of November at 2340hrs. A great trip; first day excellent and was topped off with an event and caching to mid-night after. Crashed for the night down near the airport.

This cache was my first for the day:
A quick find even with a muggle filling his water truck with water not far from ground zero.
The cache was found, the log signed and container returned to its hide at 1145hrs.
From here it was off to find "Agfest."

This days caching produced thirty eight finds for me, eclipsing my previous best finds for a day by nine finds, total of 38 for the day. I think Cheesy beat his previous best too.

Thanks for the cache
Cheers OldSaint.
