Bubbler Squirt Manly, New South Wales, Australia
By Tyreless on 05-Apr-13. Waypoint GC495VD

Am writing this log 6 weeks after doing the Wherigo and have only just now seen that it had been muggled, ( and unfortunately archived) at least that explains why I couldnt find it. This had been a really long process to get to this point. Geo-son originally completed the bubbler Wherigo back in July 2014. Unfortunately on that day we only found the dash and had to leave before we could find squirt. Since then, the phone that Wherigo was done on has ceased to exist so it was back to square 1 for me to find all the bubblers in the allocated time I have been in Manly off and on the last few months and my first attempt on foot I found 3 bubblers and then my phone complained it had run out of memory and the Wherigo shut down. Making sure I had some spare room on my phone, next attempt, yesterday (Dec 3) was on foot and I found 14 bubblers before I ran out of time. Not enough to secure Squirt. Now tonight on my folding bike I have at 11.30pm managed to find all the bubblers with 6 mins 25 secs remaining. So unfortunately I didnt find the cache but I had a lot of fun completing the Wherigo. TFTWherigo Tyreless, it worked really well.

Unfortunately the cache for Bubbler Dash has been muggled and I am unable to replace. Because this is the companion to Bubbler Dash I will also have to archive this cache.

This week, I visited Australia on a business trip. After work and on the weekend, I always went for sightseeing and a few caches. I really enjoyed my stay, because the city is really beautiful, the people were great and I was able to find quite a few caches. I also went to the blue mountains and the Manly beach - so I at least had a taste of most of the beauty that Sydney and it's surroundings has to offer. All in all, I found about 65 Caches over the week, that I have been here, met fellow geocachers, saw beautiful places and had a lot of fun!

Today, I wanted to go surfing at manly beach, but it ended up to be a whole day of geocaching together with CptPhoenix&TigerLily. We found a few nice caches and beautiful places as well as some interesting details about parts of the city.
This cache was quickly found after the WIG. The WIG was quite funny. At first we were walking quite slowly, but to the end, we ran for our lives We had about 1 minute left at the end.

After landing on Manly, we decided to attempt this cache with Kriagl13. We used his whereugo app since our GeoohLive app was acting funny. We got to all the bubblers in the time frame! We found this cache at dusk. Kriagl13 retrieved the geocoin and will take to Austria.
Thanks for the fun, Tyreless!

Not regular and not 3 terrain TFTC

We took a nice ferry trip to Manly today. It was nice weather to walk around and search some caches.
We also found this cache
Thank you for the cache
Team sissifalke

Did the Bubble Dash wherigo and collected the coordinates for this bonus cache. Luckily there was a bonus cache, as I could not find the final cache for the wherigo! All the running about would have been for nought without this. Interesting to find the quiet spot at GZ just a short walk away from the really busy Manly beach where a volleyball competition was going on. Nice hide, TFTC

Cache box replaced.

Good to go again!

The cache box has been removed and needs to be replaced.

After getting 17 bubblers on bubbler dash to get the coords for tgis cache i stopped by on our way to gz of bubbler dash but even with help from a previous finder this cache is either to well hidden or gone. Could owner plz check it is still there plz

Spent over 20 minutes at GZ. No good.

After dashing for bubblers, this was a simple find although I had about 5 bush turkeys guarding GZ. TFTC

I managed to find all 20 bubblers with 1 minute and 1 second remaining. Then on the way to this gz my app crashed and reset the timer, hiding this gz from me.
After receiving the coordinates from the CO i had the chance to find this cache after walking around North Head with some friends.
The Bush turkeys kept scratching around and spooking me thinking they were muggles that stumbled along the path.
I was very glad when i finally found the cache. If only i didn't still have a looking drive home to look forward to.
Thanks for the cache.

Geocaching day around Manly.
After found 18 bubbler dash we can find this cache. Thanks the fun.

This one was taken on after completing Bubbler Dash. So much fun! Found with ReverseG.

We decided to take this on immediately after Bubbler Dash. After a bit of walking, we found ourselves at the GZ, and ended up doing a little bit of a reach around before having cache in hand. The usual pleasantries were exchanged (“Hello cache, how are you?” “I’m doing fantastic, thanks for asking!”), after which the log was signed and back in its hide the cache went. Off we went to the next cache! Thanks for the hide!

Found with Foreignnebula!

Found this today with Geoson on a multipurpose mission of driving lessons, wherigos puzzles and multis. Having conqured the dash in early morning assault and younger legs to help we made our way here and soon found it . We dropped LA zombie and took half empty TB. All good at the cache. Thanks Tyreless for the challenge and placement Cheers

Finally!!!! Took forever for the phone GPS to decide where to take me. Ran here, there and everywhere!! Thanks from Canada . TB drop (proxy) of only my second TB. I hope it travels to places I haven't been (Asia and more of Africa would be great)!

I got this one with 6 mins remaining
EXHAUSTING

I tried this one first, and after a bit of search, soon i had cache in had

Thanx for a great hide

Attacked this one after a small false start with the Android WhereYouGo app (been a while since I’ve done a Wherigo cache, but I couldn’t pass this one up). So after about 3 hours playing in the waves and getting stupidity sunburnt I took a break and headed to the start line for the Bubbler Dash.

Light jog and of course played it safe and waited for the little green men It was pretty special and soooo enjoyable running around Manly with a cool breeze and amazing evening weather. If we ever win the Lotto I know where we would love to live, can’t believe this was my first visit
The app worked really well and got through to the end, I accidentally picked up my pace on the home stretch (into a nice headwind ) when I thought I only had one minute left! Turns out I finished it with 4 mins and 16 seconds left Was trying to take the beep test approach and pace it out.
So in summary, this was me running through Manly...
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
Unfortunately I only managed to pick this one up (ran out of time on the prime cache and only just managed to catch the express boat back ) . Cache was found once I got the right angle, luckily the area was pretty quiet. Glad I didn’t walk away empty handed as this was a brilliant cache. Hopefully I can come back and try the other one in the daylight and look a lot less suspicious lurking in shadows.
We are out of favourites, so I will make sure I save one for Bubble Dash.

TFTC and the exercise Tyreless, I’m pretty jealous if this is your local stomping ground.

Got this one's coords when we came to Manly last time in December 2017. We are back to get the prize. It was a really nice location. Thanks for the cache.

We did the dash late last year but didn't have enough time to get this cache. We were back in the area today so we stopped by. Nice finish to this mini series. TFTC!

#1637 on a day out with alnic39, teamMerlin and Splitty Miller JJCC after getting 20 of 20 we got the coordinates for this cache so we stopped to pick it up on the way back but none of us read the hint so started looking on the wrong side. Eventually we located the cache

Signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the puzzle Tyreless though I think the difficulty should be higher with what you have to do to qualify

Out with JJCC, phlphotos and alnic39 today on a cache run targeting some caches for the day in order to fill in some requirements for a challenge cache series (USG) down in Canberra. After finishing the Bubbler Dash wherigo we haeaded straight over to GZ of this cache. Initially looking on the incorrect side of the path we finally checked the hide location and found the container. With the cache in hand we all signed the log before replacing as found. The cache container and log are in an good condition. Thanks for this bonus cache Tyreless.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling & Dorus.

With the guidance to the team leaders, I get myself more qualifications for the UGC. Studying for a university degree is hard, but it's great when you have good tutors.

We came to Sydney by cruise ship and stayed for three days. On the first day we visited Manly, walked around and looked for some caches.
We like Wherigo Caches very much and so we made this one. It was fun running through Manly and getting the bubblers. Sorry, I have forgotten how much time we needed...
Unfortunately we could not log the Bubbler Dash due to muggles. But we had enough bubblers to get the Bonus.
We found the cache quickly. Some curious birds were guarding it...
Thanks for the nice WIG and greetings from germany! In: FP
Soukousa

Together with Soukousa on our cruise along the west coast, we strolled through town looking for plastic boxes. After the WIG was done, unfortunately we could not finalize it. But the received data were sufficient to come to this bonus. So we take this box as a reminder of this nice tour around the place. TFTC!

After 1.30 mins of searching previously. I finally found it. TFTC

After finding a number of local caches I headed back towards where my son's party was to pick him up, and went via this spot to pick up this cache. It didn't take too long to find it - TNLNSL. I then continued up and over. Thanks, appreciate this bonus cache as a way to give extra reason to do well in the Dash

Found all 20 bubblers in 12:40!
Sneaky hide! Tftc

What a fabulous cache! I got an awesome time too but accidentally missed two of the bubblers and was soooooo far away from them by the time I got to the end.

I got 18/20 in only 9 mins 30 seconds! I jogged most of it and was surprised when I got to the end how much time I had left.
I had enough to unlock both caches but there doesnt seem to be a "Finish" option. So I had to wait another 10 mins for the countdown until I could unlock the coordinates.

I started walking back to the two I missed but they were so far away before I even got there my 10 mins was up and the cartidge had finished.

Awesome to see a bonus cache for those who worked for it!
TFTC, loved every second of it

In Sydney today to try to grab a few of the more rare D:T combos. A few of us in the Hunter are for some reason challenging ourselves to loop the D:T grid at least 5 times. Madness!

Anyway, this is one less that I need - not for that challenge - but for filling my entire D:T grid with solved puzzles. This is one of a select few I still needed.

Thanks for the exercise. I'll freely admit I am unfit so I scraped in with only 21 seconds to spare ha ha I think it was just 'efficient' use of time allowed. I must have looked weird running in jeans and a wallabies jersey though!

A quick find at GZ. Now for a well earned drink! TNLN TFTC

Our first ever cache. Lots of fun and easy enough for the whole family

Found after some swimming on Freshwater beach. Nicely hidden treasure ;] Thanks!

Yahoo! If I am not mistaken that is a new record on the WIG cache for all 20 Bubblers ...but you can read about that in the relevant log. It made sense after my mad dash to grab this one first as it was only a quick ride away. Thought I'd struggle with the bike but turns out I could have grabbed it from the saddle! A great not-so-little bonus for a great WIG cache idea. Cheers Tyreless, good to be back over this part of the world.

During a 10-day roadtrip from Melbourne to Sydney to meet up with CT_ZA I enjoyed some sightseeing and obviously a lot of caching along the way .
Having arrived in Sydney it was time to seek out some of the more interesting caching spots in the CBD and beyond. Perfect sunny weather today made for a great day out, where I ended up at Manly in the afternoon.

After successfully completing the Bubbler Dash I got the co-ords for the Squirt. It was dark by the time I got to GZ, but still a quick find.
Thanks, Tyreless.

Logging in order as I sit on the manly ferry back to world square. This with the where I go is right up there with most enjoyable and unexpected caches I have found - a fav point from me. tftc

Having successfully found the 20 bubblers of the "Bubbler Dash", and thus obtaining the coords for this mystery cache, we decided to stop off on our way home for a look. Parked the geomobile in the only vacant parking spot in the street and then headed up the stairs toward the cache location.

This site was once the location of a grand old building, which was sadly demolished many decades ago, but it would have been a wonderful asset for Manly had it survived the relentless march of property development. Anyway we soon arrived at GZ and started searching on the wrong side of the path but, having found nothing over there, took a look at the hint and then quickly spotted the hide and had CIH. Opened up the nice big container, TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

But we were a bit confused by the D/T rating of this cache. Considering the information given that there is no need to step off the path to find the cache, why is it T3.5 ? And D1.5 seems a bit lean considering what's needed to earn the coords for this one. Seems to us that the D/T rating numbers could be transposed ?

Thanks Tyreless for this "bonus" mystery cache to go with the Bubbler Dash.

Find #1542

We loved the idea for this cache. We enjoyed walking through Manly. A very creative cache. Thank you.

Stayed in Manly for work. Was here last week and spied the Bubbler caches, so decided to get up early this morning and give it a go. Got the running shoes on to get some exercise before a day behind the laptop!!

The WhereYouGo (android version) downloaded fine onto my Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge and it worked brilliantly throughout the Dash. I decided to head right when I got to the beach side, then doubled back along the beach to the last bubbler. I was breathing a bit by the time I finished the twentieth, but still had some time up my sleeve, 8 minutes and 7 seconds left (so Total time was 11:53). WhereYouGo Log attached. A good workout. No dogs, strollers, joggers or tourists were harmed in the making!!!! Lots of them around though.

Headed off to brekkie (bacon and egg roll, orange juice and coffee...Mmm). Got changed for work, then wandered up to GZ for the collection. Quick spot in a great location. Next time I'll collect the Dash.

TFTC Tyreless. A great idea and great fun. A favourite for sure.

Surprised the final cache was still there as it was really hidden. Quick find seemed to be a few people trying to do the walk of shame while dumping the nights rendezvous. But the women putting out the garbage in very narrow cut panties certainly made my day.

Disappointed at the low difficulty considering the task to get the coords.

Managed to get 18 bubblers so was rewarded with the coords for this mystery cache. Unfortunately we ran out of time to search for the Bubbler Dash cache, but this one was on the way back to the car. After the iPhone originally pointed to the wrong side of the path, the hint showed me the way and I quickly had CIH. Didn't originally see the log book but the penny soon dropped.
TFTC

log well outwith the 4Bs we had a nice run to

Two-for!!
Worked in tandem with klbooth, legoman9494, landyman and Pinkducks, and Mrs Prime` who was trying to look normal and ignoring us ... and we managed to hit 17 with 3 minutes to go. Ran back to try and nab the last ones but ran out of time. But that's ok ... 17 was the target.

Once we stopped puffing, we headed to this bonus squirt first. Followed the needle and into a likely area, and while the boys walked straight past it, at least klbooth thought to check the description and hint and size and pointed it to us as she arrived at GZ. Teamwork!

Thanks for placing this cache, Tyreless. Found in good condition.
*{Overall find #4731}*

Having successfully completed the Dash we set off to find this one. I was definitely lagging by now, hills are not my friend.... I was some way behind the boys huffing and puffing, and perhaps that is why I spotted the cache that they had gone past at speed. Never mind, always good to be of use!!

Log signed as the 4B's to include Landyman123, Pinkducks, Legoman9494 and myself.

All in good order, thanks for the cache!!!!

After staying at the Q Station last night, my wife and I explored North Head today. We then made our way into Manly where I completed the cache that gave me the coordinates for this one. Found after dinner in the dark. Thanks Tyreless

Found this cache by coinsedence! It turned out to be a bonus to another cache we didn't found yet. Unfotunately I didn't have time or power to find the original cache so we will have tolog

Lots of baby scrub turkeys around.

I did the wherIgo and I found 17 out of 20 so that I got the information for this cache. Coordinates are off but after reading the hint and other log entries I could find the container.

I completed 18 of the 20 bubblers with about 2 minutes to spare, I am not as fit as I like to think I am. Or maybe it is because I didn't warm up before I ran.

Anyway, glad I had loosened all my muscles from all the dashing, because the climb to GZ is quite substantial. Ended in a nice little park from an interesting bit of history. Very glad to have completed both the main cache and the bonus too. TFTC!

Wow.... Quite the challenge from an overweight gent from Minnesota. Didn't finished but was able to qualify for this. Thankfully this was an easy find. Thanks for the fun.

We just missed out on 18-19 here a few evenings ago. But it didn't matter since we had enough bubblers to earn these coordinates. Headed to GZ this morning and found a surprising little park tucked away here. Not far from GZ is a 'hi-tech' cave complete with dweller. Wow! The things you come across while geocaching. Thanks so much for the effort you went to here, Tyreless. Really enjoyed the set. SL TN L a ladybug TFTC Cheers.... Gaztek

This was a relief to have been quick enough to qualify for this cache as I was banking on getting a puzzle cache today for the souvenir! Loved the concept of the Wherigo & it reminded me of one of our favourite caches called "race the clock" in Bath, UK, where you had to text answers within a certain timeframe to get the auto responses containing further clues & coords; and to add icing to the cake, the final was inside box hill tunnels via a secret entrance. Anyway, this was a good cache & worthy of a favourite. TFTC Tyreless, cheers,

After a big lunch up at Balgowlah, the rest of the family went home and I headed down here. I had eaten too much and needed a bit of exercise. I had a glance at the map and the route seemed straight forward enough with a slight detour at one point. Found bubblers here and there, answered questions etc., it was going fairly well.

I had decided to try for 17 as I am a big fan of mystery caches and would get a double souvenir if I succeded. But a big roar came out of one of the pubs so I wandered in to see what was going on. I managed to see a replay of Manly scoring the winning try against the Raiders. A little further on there was another roar - the conversion had put them in front. Hang on I am doing a cache on stopwatch here I had better get moving.

At the ocean front I went one way then another but didn't realise I had skipped one. I thought I would fail to get the bonus. But I kept heading north as I was committed now. Fortunately some of the bubblers were coming at me in pairs. I didn't look at the total but knew it would be too far to turn around. Just when I was about to run out of new bubblers I hit the magic number!

I then looked at the co-ords and realised the exercise wasn't quite over. I found myself in a park that I had never spent time in before despite growing up in the area.

TFTC Tyreless - it was fun.

Really wanted to do a wherigo in Australia and here I had the chance to do it although I was against the clock before my ferry back.

I ran around and got 18 bubbles in around 8 minutes which would leave plenty of time to get the two caches before I had to get the ferry

Then disaster stuck when I realised I had to wait out the remaining 12 minutes which would leave no time to search

I wandered back towards the port and positioned myself near where this GZ "might" be and waited for the clock.

Fortunately when the coords where revealed I was close enough to quickly grab this, taking note of previous logs saying the coords were a little out.

The final for the WIG showed it was really far from where I was and I had no time to go back to find it after all that effort :"(

Tftc from London England

Streak day #196 - After working hard to get all the bubblers as quickly as possible I not only was rewarded with the coordinates to both caches, but also managed to get third place on the leaderboard. woohoo. Not sure how many people hadn't reported their final times, but I was still impressed. After struggling with finding and retrieving the bubbler dash cache I didn't know what to expect from this one. I had worked up an appetite jogging around Manly and my nutella crepe wasn't enough to fill me up, so I stopped at Guzman y Gomez for some beef quesadillas to fuel me for the walk up the hill to look for this cache. Although I have lived nearby and delivered pizzas in the area for 10 years I hadn't come across the area around the GZ before. It was a pretty little spot and tonight it was filled with the strains of bagpipe music floating over from the Warringah pipe bands practice session that was happening not far away. Thankfully it was a quick find once my phone led me to the correct spot. It was late enough by now that there were no muggles around. I was able retrieve the cache, sign the log and put it back without anyone coming along. I wandered back to my car, munching on my dinner as I walked. I'm rather tired now so it's time to head home to relax. TFTC.

Complete the Bubbler Dash mission. Thanks, good idea! Unfortunatel Iy have not found Bubbler Dash cache, but found this one bonus cache.
Interesting hidden corner of Manly, thanks! Greetings from Latvia!
IN:TB

found with location obrained from Bubbler Dash. never been through this park and is a nice little oasis?? in Manly. good place to finish the well deserved coffee after the dash! TNLNSL TFTC

After doing better in the dash than expected we had the co-ords for this on as well making it our 3rd mystery cache for the day getting as close as we could for Pi Day. We had to widen our search a little but saw the tell tale sign of camo and then uncovered the hide of a nice sized container and then completed the signing duties. TFTC

My main log, of course, is over at Bubbler Dash. Relatively easy find of the final and the log.

About the term "Bubbler": I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where drinking fountains are indeed called "bubblers," but that's very much a local dialect term confined to that part of Wisconsin and, for some reason no one can quite explain, parts of Rhode Island (which is nowhere near Wisconsin). Elsewhere in the US, no one uses the word and few people know what it means. So imagine my surprise when I came to Australia and found "bubblers." I love it!

TNLN; TFTC!

Must be some important cricketers at the park as thee was cameramen onsite upon walking past. Power walked from completion of wherigo detouring to GZ upon meeting up with family back Infront of the aquarium.
GPS was uncertain as moving arrow made life hard. Searched without luck in other areas but spotted the hide once at the right elevation. Nice bonus cache completed, thanks Tyreless

I completed the Bubbler Dash today, finding all 20 Bubblers. And because the GZ of the Bubbler Dash Cache was quite busy, I decided to try the bonus instead.

Here it was nice and quiet and the Cache was quickly in hand.

Thanks for this Cache!

Loved this one - my first Whereigo too

I decided to jog the route whilst hubby went to the supermarket.

I found 17 then he called to say he was finished so I ended the challenge and walked back to the car to meet him

GZ was just a short detour on the way home so popped over for a quick find

Tftc

It is winter and that means that it's dark soon in Manly.
So we were looking for bubblers in the moonlight, withouth a map on our GPS.
We walked first, but then we got enthousiastic and started running.
Eventually we found 18 bubblers in time.
So we were happy... then we first went for this bonus and after for the Bubbler Dash cache.
We found this one thanks to the hint.
Thanks for the extra bonus!

Quick cache checkup after steeba's comments - thanks for the feedback. All good. The log book is in there still with plenty of rrom for more signatures - it's a camo within a cache rather than a cache within a camo (if that makes any sense). Happy caching.

Having found the accompanying cache some time ago today it was back for the mystery. No problems but not much in the cache anymore- needs a new logbook really. TFTC!

Visiting Australia for the first time with Votkalat and logging few caches on the route

Today we visited Manly and walked to few of the closest caches. Nice and easy all the way.. when closing on GZ there was couple muggles having a picnic, but luckily they did not see to GZ so we could search and log the cache easily

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland.

Note that at the final bubbler one of the swings has been temporarily removed (probably by some yobbo with too much time on his hands). So add +1 to your answer to the final question if the cartridge says you got it wrong.

Great fun. Dropped Heather into the box. Take care of her!

After the hectic pace of the Bubbler Dash it was nice and peaceful at the GZ.
Grabbed the 3 TBs and will try to move them on to 3 different caches.

Today it was another nice sunny day, and I decided to spend it in and around Manley. Took the ferry out together with what seemed like thousands of people, but unlike most (all?) of them my main goal was to find caches, not hang out at the beach, even if I did that too.

Since I found all the bubblers on my sprint I also had the coordinates for this one, so I headed here at the end of my Manley stay. Nice big hide (large?) that I had no trouble finding. Took some TBs with me.

Thanks for the cache! My 2126th find!

/StadsAlv, of team Cachish.
Follow us on instagram! @cachish

That was a quick find and a large container. I left 4 TBs.

Thanks for that bonus

Finally had a rain free period, so we ducked out of the conference and did the dash. Got all 20 bubbles and then proceeded to gz. Hubby made the cache while I was looking elsewhere. tftf.

Having competed the "Dash" a couple of weeks ago, we knew what to expect. We just needed to do it in under 20 minutes. Solo effort today. I really am too old for this type of nonsense. Being a wingeing Pom also does not help. Anyway all 20 bubblers completed with three and a half minutes to spare. Off to the final cache for a quick pick up before rejoining Mrs FT at the pub for a schooner or three.

Tricky! One of the toughest ones we have had to work for. Couldn't have done it without my track star. Tftc!

We got all 20 and for our effort we get a bonus cache, thanks!

Reaching all 20 Bubblers within the time was not such an big issue. Just a well paced walk trough the heart of Manly. But considering the darkness after I was done doing the Whereigo it was a bit tricky to find the box. Got lucky eventually !

31/12/13. 7:54 AM. Cache #1170. 1st cache of 5 on New Years' Eve morning. I parked up near Manly Hospital as it was central to most of the caches I wanted to get today. Started the morning by doing my "Dash" (all 20 found with about 3:45 to spare). At my 20th bubbler, where I was rewarded with the coordinates I sought, I chose to look for Squirt first instead of Dash, as it was slightly closer.

Took a shortcut past Manly Oval to the right park and found this after a short search. Dropped off a TB. Headed back to the town centre for some breakfast and to get the clues for Doctor Who - Silence in the Library. A great pair of caches, Tyreless, well done! }:)

I was originally going on a free 4 day cruise for work but it got cancelled.
The flight to Sydney and from Melbourne had been bought so changed plans and turned the break into a 5 day road trip.
I narrowed the zillion caches between the two cities by only concentrating on 'unusual' cache types, ( letterbox, wherigo, earthcache, virtuals and caches that helped towards the Jasmer Challenge).

After completing the Wherigo, I also was given the co-ords for this one. A bonus I was not expecting.

Thanks for the cache.

Today I went off to GZ after getting the co-ordinates.

After the GPS had me in the wrong spot, cache-sense kicked in and I soon made the find.

A new type of mystery for us!?!

After finding all 20 bubblers within 20 minutes, I was presented with the coordinates for this cache. A nice bonus! Stopped by GZ on my way back to the car and was happy to make a quick find. Signed log and replaced cache. Loved the cache contents too which tied in nicely with the name. TFTC.

I very much liked your technique of offering a bonus cache with the whereigo - very novel. Jogged to this one on the way to getting the whereigo final. Then bought a Nando's burger and chips (I take post exercise nutrition seriously ), and back to the car all within the hour ...

Reperio at 1545.

Having completed the wherigo, I punched in the coords for this one to find it was on the way back to the car. Took in the little detour, and was soon at GZ where the GPS had me looking in the wrong spot initially...before deciding that it could be somewhere else...and presto! This was a nice little bonus cache to find today. Now to go and finish off the wherigo!

Gratias Tyreless.

Well this one was easy. Just needed to do a WIG which I love, and BAM, I was presented with some cords. Punched them into my GPSr and walked over to a great little GZ area. Found after a few seconds. Nice and hidden this one is, yet so close to a path. I SL, TNLN and replaced again. Thanx for the WIG and this cache Tyreless, nice one. TFTC.

After completing Bubbler Dash (read that log to see the first part of our journey!!) we decided to try and get 17 again. First we had to move the car - our 1 hour parking was up - and after we moved it (a little farther away) we started again.

The first attempt was a complete failure - the iPad was stuffing up with the "you've missed one" heaps, so we decided that instead of having stress like with the last cache we'd think it through while we still had extra time now, and then start the cartridge again. We identified where the ones we'd missed were, headed back to the starting point and restarted.

This next time ran a lot smoother, and led to a much happier experience. We did not miss any, and kept a constant jogging speed the whole time. The iPad did not stuff up and we did not have to wait TOO long for lights. With lots of encouragement from each other we managed to get all 20 - with 1 minute 46 seconds remaining. Woohoo! We were all very proud - it was dark by this time with these early nights.

We then headed over to the cache, which fortunately was in the general direction of our car. I decided to risk taking one route, which might be faster but might be a little slower if a path didn't go through, but luckily it was faster and we were soon at GZ. It was pitch black, so we needed geomum's phone to help illuminate the area. We spotted the cache quite quickly, and then it was to retreive, this took a lot more time (but not very long) because of the dark.

We opened up the cache and were relieved to find an empty log and an awesome FTF prize geocoin. Thanks Tyreless! We signed in and replaced the cache as found.

Thanks for a really fun cache, much more enjoyable than the other although it was the same wherigo; nice work on it by the way. We had a really great time this afternoon finding these two caches.

A favourite for all your work (and your stress) on the wherigo, both caches and FTF prizes. We had a lot of fun.
