cant get to it to maintain, so making it go away

I reached out to the CO about this one. He did respond saying he would be archiving the cache. It would appear Morley196 is a very busy man so let's bring it to the attention of a Reviewer for him.??

I was out on a day of bike riding and picking up some caches for the Signal's Labyrinth promotion.
I arrived at the hinted object and soon found the well crafted cache container. Unfortunately, the log is a slimy sodden mess that's impossible to sign so grabbed a photo instead.
Thanks for the geo-fun.

This one urgently needs some TLC on a maintenance visit as the log is sodden.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found it.. sadly, broken and needs maintenance. Couldn't sign log.

Too many bushes

Windsor to Rouse Hill 04/01/22 #30

Driven past this so many times. Great to do on my walk

Wasn't expecting it there. TFTC

Found yesterday but phone went flat so didn't log. TFTC

Lol that was not as easy as I was expecting. TFTC

Good hide thanks

TFTCM, quick & easy. SL & returned cache as found.

Found it, thanks fot the series caches.

Found it TFTH

TFTC with Pulloa

TFTC!
Found with BrodyT2010

Cache was very easy to see and retrieve, not quite as easy to return

Finally I have achieved a smilie for this cache having been here 3 times before when the cache was AWOL or the camo had been removed.
When I first came here you could pull up in Schofields Road and just walk across but not any more and with not being able to ride a bike (bung knee) its a long walk from anywhere but then the Metro came here!

So today I came on the metro and walked from Rouse Hill Station. Not very far but it did take 8 minutes to cross the 5 sets of traffic lights.
Once at GZ I quickly spotted the cache. I've seen this type of hide once before. Now there could have been quite a lot of difficulty for me to get this cache but with my specially constructed TOTT (thank you ozjeeper) I had it within seconds. Getting it back was a bit more challenging but slowly the TOTT manoeuvred it into place.

Today we headed out to Rouse Hill, taking advantage of the cheap Sunday $2.70 per head capped Opal Card fares, to take a ride on the new Sydney Metro driverless train. And with today’s very wet weather we concentrated our caching efforts within & around the sheltered shopping area that’s close to the Rouse Hill Metro train stop. This was the 6th of 6 finds, and 2 DNF’s, for the day.

After finding "Tobacco, Beer and Rebellion" we next came to this one, our last cache for the day. And, unlike the previous cache, the hint for this one made perfect sense and provided us with a reasonably quick find, after initially missing it at first glance. We haven't seen one of these types of container before. Signed the log sheet and then replaced as found.

Thanks Morley196 for the interesting history of the area, and for the cache. And now it's time for us to get back on the not so historical Metro train for our trek homeward.

all good to go

No response to Needs Maintenance post of six months ago. No finds for seven months.

Muggled? That's a very specific clue... Definitely not there

Tried for this one again today.
Once again found nothing - I was at the new co-ordinates and used the hint, and using google maps I was at the right spot.
Needs another check.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Back on line good to go

Will have a look this weekend

The item mentioned in the hint and its buddies have been very recently removed by the council/rail corridor workers. There is no sign of the cache and the spot is now very exposed.
Definitely needs a CO check.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Off we go along the Power Trail. The bike has come out of storage and will be put to good use today I am sure. Thanks in anticipation Morley 196.

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.

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.

A fun day of caching with friends around Windsor.
OCWF&F SL TFTH

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.

Quick scooter and grab.

Located at 8:12pm. Loving these caches for my accrued numbers. This was my eighth find tonight. Was quite nice walking along busy Windsor Road, not a thing I have often undertaken. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! 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.

Big changes around here with the metro construction

A quick grab

Nice quick find for me today, TFTC

15:45 Log dry, plenty of space to sign, no pen/cil

Found on a wet day out in Rouse Hill. TFTC

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.
- - -
Parked in the Castlebrook Memorial Park, then hopped on the hybrid to ride the 'power trial'. This was the first find - which got rid of the heebie-geebies after DNFing first up at Tobacco, Beer and Rebellion.
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.
Lots of construction activity, we wonder when it will be all finished

Getting close to the end. Fascinating watching the work(men) on the new building site.

A quick and easy find after a morning at the nearby shopping centre. We avenged our DNF from several years ago. TFTC

We found this after getting a toy dog from the Build A Bear workshop.

Another find on the Windsor Road power trail. We walked here after going to the Build A Bear workshop at the shops.

#3263 - Ah and nice, quick find with a seat to do the logging duties. Many thanks to **Morley196** for establishing and maintaining another bike path cache.

Out to do a bit more of the trail tonight with Pitman Clan, AWTYOW and Cheeese Pizza. TFTC.

A quick find by AWTYOW . Thanks!

Second find of the night. This one was found by me as I took off ahead of the others keen to hurry our progress up. 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!

Found it

Thanks for the great hide

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

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

No. 741

I came by today to grab this one to continue the streak. I found it without any trouble, and signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the cache Morley, and for going to the trouble of setting up this great series!

First big caching day of spring and what better way to enjoy the weather than with an epic bike cache trail. Team MavEtJu and I signed the logs as E+E for ease...

(1 of 62 today) Rouse Hill is quite unfamiliar to me and it took some time to find parking and negotiate our way through all the baracades due to the rail building work. This became our first find of the day and the gauge by which to judge the kind of caches we'd be looking for today. I had the Hilltop Hoods song in my head for the first few finds. Thanks Morley196.

GeoDirk is skiing with the scouts. HanorahTLG has a Harry Potter weekend with her aunt. Happy father's day everybody! Out caching with Ziggyau

Find 1 of 63 for today!

Nice find due to the good hint and surprised to see the progress with the new rail line since my last visit here with Bluewattle. Thanks CO and TFTC

Thanks for my geo buddy Snickersallan for hitting the pavement while I continued along to find a sneaky parking spot to wait for her return

Doing a quick round this afternoon to pick up a few caches. Quick find. TFTC

Thanx for another one.

**Live logging**
Found with sesblocker. We have traveled from Sutherland Shire to attempt this series on a gorgeous Winter's day.

Waiting for my car to get checked so I caught a bus to Rouse Hill and walked over to grab this. Tftc sl

4th Find for the day along Windsor Rd. Thanks Morley196. Enjoyed rainy day.

#399 Thirty fifth and last of thirty five finds on an afternoon's caching around Riverstone and Rouse Hill. Nice quick and easy find. TFTC

Found it, Logged it, NEXT!!!

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.

#3118 (4 of 5 today) (Streak day 399)

It's not raining (too much) today, so after only two finds on the weekend, I decided to head to Windsor Road and knock off another group of unfound powertrail caches.
I parked in Rouse Road - which had little traffic on it as the floodgates (and of course the road) were closed.

Then walked the block, picking up four out of four - after passing the disabled *Christ Church*. Had an interesting talk to one of the workmen on the progress of the rail bridge over Windsor Road, and walked back on the other side of the road - checking out the old inn.

Then off to a DNF and a find in Kellyville Ridge.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Third quick find out of four. The nearby drain was working hard as water was flowing under the fence at a reasonable rate. The cache was completely unaffected, thankfully, allowing me to complete signing duties and replace.

Then time to turn around and make my way back to the car - which I made just as it started sprinkling.

Finally a day to finish off the Windsor Rd trail, started over a year ago now. We had a smallish section to do so decided to walk from Rouse House in both directions. A nice quick find, thanks Morley for this series.

I drive this way every morning and was pleased to see the roadworks from a different angle. Parked in KFC for this stretch and walked down. A nice spot for a hide, grabbed it between traffic. TFTC, all in good order.

Awesome hide. Lots of roadworks happening in this area. Easy find thanks to a great clue. SL TFTH TFTC. Didn't swap anything out. Replaced cache as found - well hidden for the next cacher. Thanks Morley196

About 1.5 weeks ago I was looking at the geocaching map of Sydney in search of a nice trail.
I noticed this trail and wanted to know more about it.
After a quick investigation I found out that it was possible to do the trail while walking.
The problem could be how to get there. Luckily the Opal travel app was of great help.
The best option was to start at the end of the trail near Castlebrook Memorial park, a 50 minute bus ride from Sydney. But only if I would not travel on Sunday as the way back from Windsor would take me more then 2.5 hours due to railway work.
So I decided to travel on Anzac Day.
The problem would be the bonus, because I planned to start at the last cache of the trail.
It turned out that the bonus puzzle coul be solved by looking at the cache descriptions of the caches along the trail. With the help of the offline viewing possibility of GSAk it was not difficult to solve the puzzle.
on Anzac Day I left my Appartment around 8:20 to catch the bus.
After arriving at the memorial park and a short walk I found my first cache around 09:30h and the last one around 15:30h. Some caches I cold not find because they were gone or were to well hidden.
2 caches I could not look for because people in the neighborhood were watching me.
1 cash I did not attempt due to a parked police car close to the cach location with the officer in the car.
The search of the first cach of this serie I had to abort because I had to catch the train back to be back around 6pm.
At the end of the day I had walked more than 20 km's and had found 52 caches.
Most caches could be found quite easily but some took more time.
Some caches took more time to log than usual due to issues with my pen.
Thanks for this trail,
