Another Badger's Goat Gruff has gone missing. Time to vacate the GZ for another CO to be creative!!
This one was missing and could not find it, even with strandlopers w & e, and geokids help.
Might have been taken or lost in rocks below or water.
great sport, would be good to get it up and going again.

Looked around for a while and couldn't find it. Looked all over the bridge and underneath. Doesn't seem to be here anymore.
Searched, however mustn't have been looking at the right angle. Will return once confirmed
DNF on the first cache of the day while escaping the heat and heading for the coast. We looked at all the angles but no luck.

Spent a wonderful morning circumnavigating the lagoon on bike collecting 12 caches. My initial thought was to park at Middle Creek Reserve but the parking prices there are highway robbery. Decided to pull into Deep Creek Reserve instead where parking is free.
Had to join the main track by riding under the bridge. Then had to back track a little. There are many angles to view here and it took me a while to find the right one.

Found at 4:17pm with Nush89.
Today we came out to Narrabeen to complete the Minecraft series or at least have a decent crack at it. We managed to get all of them and then proceeded to complete the Lagoon Trail where we grabbed a few in the Badger's series. We thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the walk which was made better by some great caches.
Signed log, thanks for the cache scoddule

Caching with JordsAU
12 of 26 finds today
After multiple recommendations to do the minecraft series we headed to the Narrabeen Lagoon for the day. We parked near the sailing club and decided to walk around the lake in a clockwise direction,
Another Badgers cache and another quick and easy find between all the muggles.. even at gz

After a big day caching yesterday, pk1965 and I decided to back it up with another one today. We arranged to meet up in the morning and we drove over together towards Narrabeen to tackle to infamous Mindcraft series. We have heard really good things about this series and it was the perfect day for a walk around Narrabeen Lake.
We started at the car park near number 2 in the series and headed off by foot in a clockwise direction, finding 'Rocky' and 'Badger's Birthday' on the way to the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #3' Multi Cache. Unfortunately the awesome gadget at number 3 was not working and we managed to overlook the cache (thinking we had found it, but we had not). We continued by finding 'MINECRAFT SERIES #1', 'MINECRAFT SERIES #7', the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #4' Multi Cache, 'War what is it good for.' and 'MINECRAFT SERIES #6'. We stopped by 'S-olo-tree Point' but the area looked too wet and we could not find a dry route to the cache, so we abandoned that idea. We rejoined the lagoon walking track and found 'MINECRAFT SERIES #8', 'Badger's Causeway', 'Badger's Baton' and 'Badger's Goat Gruff'. Despite there being a number of Did Not Finds on 'Badger's Bounty', we had a look around anyway but, sadly, it appears to be gone. 'Badger's Bannister' and 'Badger's Retreat' provided us with better fortunes, but we failed to locate 'Yuck gum' after crossing the bridge. To rest and recharge, we popped into a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat, as well as a couple of sneaky bevvies, before continuing to 'MINECRAFT SERIES #5' and the 'MINECRAFT SERIES #2' Multi Cache - both are definite picks of the day and, as such, favourite points have been awarded!
We decided to head back to number 3 of the series, now we knew the type of hide we needed to be looking for and were successful this time around. By this time, morry9 had walked over from the car park to meet us and we waited while he found the cache. Pk1965 and I wanted to set a target of 25 finds for the day, so we headed back to the car and set off to find a handful of park and grabs together. We found 'Im railed', 'Mineral Recycling (Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)', 'Magnetic Wood', 'Cliff Edge' (where we were applauded by the neighbours across the road when we had the Cache In Hand), 'The bus is here!!!', 'Fun and Games', 'Water ways(Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)', 'Rock Hard'. We could not find 'Pipe Line (Takin' out the Trash-SERIES)' but did not feel comfortable poking around with torches shining around the front yard of a couple of private residences. With one more cache required to reach our target for the day, we found 'Diagon Alley 1 -Aguamenti ~/ Agua-Minty /', and went for a bonus find at the nearby 'Badger's Behind' for the fun of it. We then headed back to the car and stopped by the nearby tavern for a celebratory drink.

Took some hunting. Think having a child with us would have been helpful!! Tftc
Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Quick find. TFTC
After finding the right angle I found the cache. Cache and logbook are dry. SL TNLN. TFTH TFTC. Awesome hide and cache. Replaced cache as found. Thanks Scoddule
A cycle-caching day-trip around Narrabeen Lake. This is find 2 of 16 for the day.

I found it! This one was fun but really tricky. You must look from different angles! Good luck when your looking!
I didn’t find this one when I was here last July as it had been muggled. I was happy to pick it up today on my circuit of the lake. Thanks scoddule.
Read some logs for a sneaky hint which lead us to GZ quickly which gave the geokids time to count the fish whilst we signed the log.
Thanks for the placing the cache.

Found it. It was my second cache! I also found somebody's little card. Well done to RocketRon47, 1000 caches is a lot!
decided to grab a few cache's today while out for a ride. great hiding spot TFTC.
Found it finally after scratching our heads for a while. The right angle hint helped
Found fairly quickly thank you.

I could have gone on for a lot longer, but I had to get back the the Sports Academy to have breakfast with students and fellow teachers. Thanx for the series...I'll be back with the family and bikes later in the autumn or spring.
3/6 found around the lake today. Came here months ago but it had been muffled. After scratching around for a few minutes, I finally nabbed it! Cache #43
hope it hasn't been nicked again
TFTCSorry for late log, finally found it, I had been here when it was missing and I laughed when I found it as it's exactly where I looked when it was missing. Thanks for the cache
Cache indeed stolen. Have replaced with a different type of container. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE exercise stealth with this one - it's prime muggle territory.
Not happy we can not find it. It is taking us ages to try to find it but we give up but we think that it has been mugged. Better luck next time
10/10 for the cache container! Lots of red herrings too + an unusual amount of muggles. Tftc!
That took way longer than it should. Might have given up if it were not for spoiler picture. SL TFTC.
Being 60m from the parking lot, we ran over for a another badger smiley. GeoJack who turns eight tomorrow had CIH after dad was walking behind yelling out the hint from the carpark. By the time dad had reached GZ, he was able to reach into his pocket for the pen. Loved the hide and container scoddule
Loved this one! Watch your head, it's not the same as the other pictures. It blends in nice, I originally picked it up and set it down because I didn't think it could be it! I went back to it later, don't over look it!
