Sorry for the late log. Found what I would assume is the eclipse tin were searching for but was no log inside so could not sign. Didn't have any emergency logs on me so couldn't replace it either Sad got covered in cobwebs and a few pretty pictures taken. Lovely quiet spot. TFTC. Smile

They say that is Mel's home behind the fence. Is that true [?] I parked just down in front of the log so I didn't block him from getting out. Peaceful spot.

TFTC to gussyj from TeamAstro.

We checked the blackbird checking us,

A few minutes later and the cache was in hand once the sat-loc settled.
Great to meet fellow cachers in the field,

With work bringing us to the area we turned up 1 hour early, what better way to pass the time but to cache some local caches,this one had me stumped, i looked every where but no cache to be found, the blackbird has fantastic river views while it sits on its eggs and kept a keen eye on me, i get back to the car to tell the geowife its a DNF until i ask her what is a Billy goats gruff, back i go and i have the cache in no time.TFTC

After watching the daughter win her Netball Grand Final for Ironbank at Piccadilly, it was time to grab the caches around the area.

Had a muggle neighbour who I introduced to geocaching - she was very excited and now knows what all the people have been doing here. TFTC. Big Grin

A quick find today. Thanks gussyi.
 
15-Aug-13
Hmmm... searched high and low for this, spent a good 20 minutes underneath, peering, reaching, feeling, tried both sides...gps said it's not in there it's in the tree in the garden nearby...I doubt it...gps changed its mind again....GAH!!! Muggles were at the bottom of the garden across the bridge, so I tried to stay quiet and remained un-noticed. Just couldn't find it!!

Log was wet, but still writable.
 
05-Aug-13
In the Bridgewater area, and managed to grab a few before heading home.
My GPS sent me on the opposite road, so had difficulties finding a safe place to park.
Found the location in question, but found myself in wandering in circles again.
Thought back to the title, and found that I didn't quite go far enough.
Nice spot & location, cheers gussyj

Today was a very cold windy and rainy day and Mr Tardis came to find this close-to-home cache.

There was lots and lots of water rushing under the bridge, but the cache was found high and dry in the second place I looked.

I've lived in the hills for 20 years but I never knew this place existed - a great place for a cache.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache gussyj.

Nice place to visit in the winter months! Took a while to work out the spot after searching on another level, but the sneaky hide was found after coming to one's senses. Thanks for the cache gussyj!
 
11-Jul-13
Great hide, well done gussyj and Banana Bros! Enjoyed the hunt while the creek was flowing. Tftc guys! Smile
 
08-Jul-13
Out caching with Sister Raven and Doctor Owl. We searched for ages (while trying not to fall in the river) and still no luck. Sad
 
07-Jul-13
Turned up here at 12:30 today as the start of a day of 16 caches. It was pouring down with rain and while pretending to be a troll, the water collected on the bridge would drip down in one big drop and slide down the back of my neck! Luckily I made the find after a while. And thank goodness the rain cleared up or I would have been in for a very miserable day! There was also a very vocal goose that would all of a sudden loudly honk just for the sake of scaring me to death! TFTC.

Lucky for me because the container was exposed. Big Grin

Thanks gussyj for the cache Smile

If ever there was a time to take a chance on an idea that's exciting it's now. With so much in transition the cache was found in the last place we felt.
 
27-Jun-13
Took me much longer than it should have! I kept reaching in the wrong direction [^]
Then when I finally did lay my hands on it I realised I'd left the pen back in the carRed Face
Cheers

An early start for me today working in three different offices - then the bestie advises me of an even earlier start, great early morning drive that rewarded us with a few FTF's SL Thanks from PG

Watch out for the Trolls! Good hide. TFTC
 
26-Jun-13
Saving life and property, AND getting 2 golds and a silver on the other ones released last night! Smile Then heading to the hills for two more golds on an early drive....
Reached we did, we were initially looking for a small as listed. I, like many others, call this a micro.
Nice little spot, watch the mud when you park, it is deep!
Dropped my FtF coin through too. Smile
