The Nexy Challenge #18 Andrews Farm, South Australia, Australia
By Burton's on 25-May-13. Waypoint GC4CY44

Time to go. Cache has been removed.

Today, I had organised with Freddo and gridge98 to ride the Northern Expressway bikeway to complete the *Nexy Challenge* series geocaches. We rode the full distance, and then in the afternoon, jesswrigley and I visited the south-eastern end of Cleland Conservation Park and took a few walks around the area. The day began cold spitting a little, but towards the afternoon, it turned out to become quite warm and not too hot; almost the perfect day to be outside and hiking.

Freddo, gridge98 and I had set off early to complete this series. Both gridge98 and I had yet to find these geocaches, and Freddo had recently acquired these and was in the process of performing maintenance for a few that had accumulated DNFs. We rode past here, stopped, and managed to find this cache reasonably quickly. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Burton's for the cache placement, and equipe de cinq for its ongoing maintenance.

Today I headed out with the godfather (Freddo) and Davidwazza to complete the next challenge trail and start the next big thing. A nice ride along the trail for the whole 50km as we went from Gawler to Port Adelaide. A great day out with over 40 finds.,
Thanks for the cache

Cacheblind!! Took me way too long to find this one. TFTC and series.

Nice find on a perfect cycling day! TFTC

Quick and easy find

Sun caught this one for us

Odd cache, about to call it quits for dinner

TFTC

After work I needed some exercise and my Geocaching fix so parked near #9, grabbed my bike from the car and set off.

The wind was a little brutal so I didn’t get as far as I had planned but all caches were found. Some took som searching but thankfully no frownies.

I’ve been wanting to start this trail for a long time so I’m glad I’ve finally made a start. The rest I’ll leave for another less windy day.

Thanks for the cache Burton's.

Just logging the TBs from the other day!!

Out for a bike ride grabbing a few caches found this this afternoon TFTC

The big gap had the team thinking the'd missed one, but no. And this one wasn't either.

Thanks for this series, my watch thinks I walked 6 kms today, but Im sure it doesnt always get these things right. Certainly feel better for the walk, thanks guys!

Found with Dr Owl, Spidermonkey, Skuzzybear, and Bindi the pooch and Jethro the pooch. An enjoyable wander from #20 down to #13. A warm day ..... and seriously busy on the expressway!! Easily located!!!

Intrepid explorers headed into the frey with trusty steeds to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone with skuzzybear before!
Oh OK so we were on the NXY trail! TYFTC SLTNLN

We had a bit of time to kill so decided to go for a walk and collect a few caches along the way.

A second ride on the Nexy Bikeway and time for a couple more caches. I’m really enjoying this series. Thanks.

Quickly found. Tftc

Big thanks to Matty cat for putting down a replacement cache. Have relocated this one across to the fence line to maintain longevity of the cache.

Another part of the expressway on our bikes. Thanks for the find.

Thank you for the find on our short bike ride. Found w mrbuzzy

on this cold windy day with troyyugal

Noticed this had recently come back on line. Almost completed the series now. Almost. TFTC

Car trouble on the way south, so did a bit of community maintenance.
Hasn't been found in almost a year, no trace previously, so a new micro container was donated to keep it going.
TFTC Burton's

No luck

Sadly found a whole lot of nothing here tonight.
The spot where the cache probably was has been cleaned up by mowing and there's not a trace to be seen.
Thanks for the challenge Burton's
will place on the watch list and return if found or fixed!

Foam but no cache

TFTC, SL.

The morning started in reverse. Gawler to Nexy Challenge #13. All finds were made with #Bones5 on bikes (no lycra in sight). The morning had us riding into the wind for the journey ahead. Was great to have a day out biking not hiking!!! A wet log was found. Thanks.

Found on a windy bike ride with Csaba TFTC

Tftc! Log is soaked

??

Haven't widen my bike for years so I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Thanks Burtons for your hides.

Thanks easy find but its weather damaged the twining teambags

Great find! Thank you!

Today we decided to don our bike helmets and pump up the tyres and see how we go on the Nexy. Miss 10s bike was too small, Miss 14 recovering from shoulder surgery, Mr emilyangels bum not used to small seats.....this was going to be a tough ride and a sore night. But the ride was completed with no bandaids needed which surprised us all. Great family day out thankyou.

**On my way home from Nuriootpa. Decided to grab these whilst it was quiet**...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped the log and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment Burton's...

Found but unable to sign. We can't get the log out the container seems to have melted!

Nice cool morning for a bike ride, decided to pick up where left off last time and collect a few more along nexy geocaching bike track.

Visiting Adelaide for the TDU. Huge apologies; started logging finds (and my DNF) the night I rode the series but was burning the candle at both ends, ran out of time and clearly forgot to go back and log them. Now that I'm planning this year's trip I've discovered the problem. Thanks for the great, bike friendly series....I even have some photos from the series.

'To cache or not to cache ..' that was never the question, because there is only one answer. The choice I gave Mr Frog, was to paddle or pedal and he chose pedal. We had a wonderful afternoon even though we had a slight head wind. Our bikes aren't used very much and I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow, but tomorrow will take care of itself.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and .....TFTC

Found on a warm day and therefore short session on the Stuart O'Grady bikeway.
Thanks for the cache Burton's

Finally decided to hit the strip of northern expressway caches near David and Drews place. Nice and easy one. Found by adam, david and drew

Enjoying this walk.

Another great find on a geocaching trip around the area.

Thanks for putting up this cache and the series and making my visit fun.

School holiday caching with the kids. Thought we would complete a bit more of the nexy bikeway. #3 today. TFTC!

Found during an energetic ride along the Nexy Bikeway on a cold, overcast day. Thanks for the challenge and cache Burton's!

Look down.. look up... look round and round.

Good find!

Love this walk.

Headed over to SA for a planned trip, and fortunately Sorceysal was able to accompany me at short notice, meaning I wasn't stranded here doing the trip solo. I'd done this series previously with Skippy and Semik a couple of years ago, while replacing the eclipse containers with the pre-forms. Today SS and I headed down here to grab the new ones, I see now taken over by my good friends, The Burton's. Thanks Lee and Jim for taking this great series on, always good to jump on the bike for a run. Most were easy finds, and although I suffered multiple punctures at one cache about halfway (While climbing on the bike to reach a higher cache), we made it through to the end. All good fun

Day two of our epic road trip with the Bogonghazys as we get nearer to our goal of the geoart fish series. A great day with lots of finds and laughs along the way. This is certainly a cache rich state and my many thanks for the Cachers of South Oz for all the effort you have put in placing these caches for us to find.

Love the series and the opportunity to stretch the legs. Thanks for the cache Burton's

Number 20. Now we have a cross wind. T.F.T.C.

Day Three of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747 - The Nexy Challenge!
We had done the previous incarnation of the Nexy series a while ago, so we didn't need to redo #1-#7.
The forecast said 20 degrees and overcast, light breeze - perfect riding weather.
Dragged out the deadly treadlies and hit the trail at #45 and rode southish.
Really liked how most of the caches were about 500 meters apart, it made it a decent ride between stops. We got into the swing of the container and hide technique fairly quickly, so the time zipped past.
Took us about 2 hours to ride down caching, and about 45 minutes to ride back (counting lunch at the cemetery/picnic spot, and afternoon tea at the new picnic spot.
Completed the last 2 (#46 & #47) on the way back to the car.
Thanks for a really nice ride, and a pile of caches to draw us here. (and the nice puzzles to keep us occupied on night shift )
Thanks, Robmc.

# 7575. Here we are in Adelaide on day 3 of our lovely long holiday. We did the previous series of Nexy caches back in 2012. Today the forecast was for no wind (who makes up these stories), and a mild day. Well yes it was overcast and mild I sujppose.

We really enjoyed the ride on this great path - we started at #45 and enjoyed our lunch break near the Zoar Cemetery that I explored on the last visit. It is a very noisy shelter area here though with the trucks zooming past and no trees to break the noise. We rode on to finish the last 3 before turning around.

We had a speedy ride back but did stop at the other shelter on the trail to enjoy a snack break before the last few kilometres.

Only 5 caches of the series warrant separate comments: -

#41 - the sole eclipse tin - the log book is just a tad too wide and extraction was extremely difficult. A pair of scissors worked as tweezers otherwise we would not have succeeded.

#40 - has been saturated at some stage but the inside of the log book is OK.

#36 - the container lid on this one is broken and crumbling. We emptied the soggy and sodden mess of old sheets and left a new rite-in-the-rain log sheet here, so all should be OK until the container is replaced.

#31 and #27 have also both been saturated at some stage but the inside of the log books are OK.

Thanks Burton's

I am finally doing the Nexy challenge series with my little bike. I must say I bought a folding bike but I could not fit it in my small boot. Then the neighbour was giving away a little bike and I grabbed it. I had to paint it silver because it was pink with purple. Lol

Nice easy puzzles, which were good, I enjoyed solving them.

All were good until half way then grass thorns punctured my tyres because I was using my bike as my ladder as I could not reach the cache from the sign. (I am only five foot tall)

So I decided to walk the rest (20Kms) to finish them off.

Thanks for the challenge I enjoyed myself. .

Thanks Burton’s for the cache

We had completed the first version of the NEXY caches some time ago and at the same time, had found the first seven caches in this series, Since then The Nexy Challenge series had been extended and today our intention was to look for all the remaining caches along the walking/riding trail. Between us we walked the trail from #08 to #47. It was quite warm but a gentle breze at times did help.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Burton's for reinstating the series along the expressway and thanks for this csche.

Change of plans today due to unforeseen circumstances saw me hire a bike instead and hit the Nexy trail, riding the full length followed by a quick stop in Gawler and then the express journey back. There were a few DNF's but for the most part the caches were all in good condition.

This was find number 15 of 42 for the afternoon for me. TFTC Burton's!

Tftc! With Blackadders

Found at 11:42:00 AM with Astro, Uni and Waldron on a day out riding on the NEXY. Thanks Burton's

What an awesome day for a bike ride.

We started in Gawler and coasted on the tail wind down hill towards the air base. We were careful not to exert ourselves too much in case we rode too fast and generated a headwind. [8)]

Clear skies to Burton's from TeamAstro.

Good hide.. Not too good for the vertically challenged. But managed to put it back tftc.

Fun day out with the boys picking up some caches.

Great to have the nexy back up and running.

Thank Burton's for the find.

Mr Tardis, Mr Scoobster and Mr froghoppin decided to hit this trail today on our trusty mountain bikes. We had a great time and managed to find all in the series without any DNF's - YAY! Most of them were quick finds in quite a logical place for this powertrail.

All the containers and logs were in good condition.

Overall a really nice bike ride to get some exercise and some caches.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Burton's and the effort in putting out and maintaining this series.

A bike adventure with Tardis trio and Team Scoobster starting with 47 we headed towards Port Wakefield rd great little trail for the second time TFTC

Out with Liz And bruce grabbing a few caches on a cool afternoon
thanks to Burton's for putting this cache out for us to find
