It's all too hard. We just can't get out to fix it.

Yet another bout of illness has made it difficult to get out and fix things. We expect to be there soon.

Becon is expecting to have the stitches out next week and we may then be able to travel. We will get to the cache as soon as we possibly can.

Still unable to attend to the cache.

Due to illness and upcoming surgery I am unable to maintain the cache at the present time.

Today I had the day off work, and so with a new geocaching souvenir for the winter solstice up for grabs, I headed towards Peel. Cache was quickly located, however the container is cracked and will need to be replaced before the log becomes ruined.

#22646. Didn't take too long to find. Container needs replacing (it is so brittle there is a whole in the lid). TFTC.

After a tiring walk around Peel Common, looking for Bathurst Jigsaw caches (and bailing after finding only half of them), it was good to get a park and grab.
Unfortunately, the plastic is brittle and there is a hole in the container lid. TFTC.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Quick park and grab. TFTC

The second day of geocaching in the wider area of Bathurst with Team Canary, Brewmaker, Noodles21, ziggiau and Rainbow Spirit.
From our base in Bathurst, we spend the second day driving through the wider area to pick up many of the solved puzzle caches, with a few other caches types in between.

Lots of animals were spotted: roos, blue tongue lizards, shingleback lizards, galahs, lots of sheep and turtles.
Logs were signed with the team name BRINTZ.

TFTC!

Found with the AC group, Noodles22 replaced the log book, thanks.

Second day on a caching holiday along with Brewmaker, Rainbow Spirit, Its Dozzie, Team Canary and Ziggiau. We had planned to start early from Bathurst and make our way to Peel, but instead on focussing on the cache cluster there were became distraced and continued to make our way further north before making a circuit back to home base. On the trip we enountered many animals in our path, Blue toungue lizards, shingleback lizards, roos, bunnies and a lot of sheep!
We finished the loop in time for lunch. afterwards most of us went back out to do another round before heading back to town for a CCE event.
Signed group as BRINTZ
Thanks for the cache.

Found with WaywardWoman on a caching day out. A quick find. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

#6177- This week thomo31 and I had our sights set on Caches around Peel, and set to solving a pile of easy mysteries in the area. A straightforward solve and equally easy find. Thanks

Thank you

Picking all our mystery caches around the Peel area. Lovely day to be out away from town.
Thanks for bringing us out here, love the Serenity.

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Bathurst for a 9 day holiday, camping in our Jayco Swan Outback Camper Trailer at the Bathurst NRMA Big4 Caravan Park, and plan to collect some caches & Adventure Labs in the Bathurst and surrounding areas.

Today we went on a cache collecting loop drive up Sofala Road, then along Pymonts Lane, and returning to Bathurst via Limekilns Road & Marsden Lane. Took a slight detour, off Sofala Road, for an interesting visit to Peel Cemetery. Finished the day with a few finds around the Kelso area. This was the 11th of 30 finds for the day (day 4), and 61st find of the holiday.

Another puzzle solved by the family's chief puzzle solver before leaving home, and a nice quick find at GZ today. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Thanks Alwyn255 & Becon4046 for the puzzle & cache.

Thanks for hiding this cache Alwyn255

Day 2
With the COVID19 restrictions lifting, we decided to head to the Bathurst area this long weekend on a Geomission with Rapidlywild. Our intention was to attack the TRLT trail and others around the area.
We had a great four days, only a few DNF’s but mostly smiley's, and have left plenty for another adventure. Lovely area to cache in and we look forward to coming back for some more fun and laughs.

Had solved a heap of puzzles prior to our trip up to Bathurst, what else is there to do during lock down. It was nice to be able to finally pick them up.

Thanks for the hide and puzzle Alwyn255 & Becon4046 and thanks Rapidlywild for another great weekend away.

With COVID19 locking everyone down for so long, a MUCH overdue geocaching mission was welcomed. FurfacesLL #1 and myself decided to head towards Bathurst and attack some of the TRLT caches and see how far we can go. Spoke to a few of the CO's prior to heading up to see if we could assist with any maintenance that was required, so we went prepared with some camo containers and some fresh log books. We had a wonderful weekend stretching the legs and enjoying the country side.

Solved a heap of puzzles by Becon4046 & Alwyn255 before heading towards Bathurst. Its great to be able to turn a large number of these solved puzzles into smilie faces

Thanks for the hide Alwyn255 And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

We are enabling our caches as travel is now allowed. Please remember that Covid-19 lives for up to 3 days on plastic surfaces. Keep yourself and others safe by using hand sanitiser or gloves.

We are shutting down our caches while the Coronavirus lock-down is in place. We want to protect every finder as current information indicates that the virus can linger on plastic surfaces for up to 9 days. Many caches are near people's homes and we cannot encourage anyone to spread this virus.
Stay safe and heed the doctors advice to stay home if you can.

Day 3 in Mudgee and our last. Today was for picking up the middle sectioon of the TRLT series before moving on to Bathurst. A more enjoyable day as the wind had eased and this section of the road has been graded. A long day as we had to get to Sofala as this will be the end point from Bathurst.

Having based ourselves in Bathurst we enjoyed caching around the locality. So green now after the recent rain and we loved the scenery and history at many of the caches. This was one we targetted and found. Nice hide. Thanks to Alwyn255 for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

A quick and easy find. Cheers

We are spending some time in and around Bathurst. A nice place to be, a few caches here and there, and a wee bit of driving fun too!

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Staying in Bathurst for two nights and our main day is made of two drives outside of Bathurst. Thanks to all the COs for placing the caches and showing us around your region.

Caching today in the Bathurst district while visiting the area. Due to the number of caches found, I am doing a generic log. All caches were great to find , some took a while to find and others were quick to locate. Thank you CO's for placing these caches. TFTC

I stopped by this spot today,
to see if all the puzzling had brought some health benefits
Maybe it improved me eyesight somewhat,
because I saw the cache pretty quickly

TFTC.

Caching with oldmorty and marj01.
(Log signed OMF to save space).
Thanks Alwyn255 & Becon4046 for placing this cache for us to find.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF.
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

It was over 50 years ago that I taught health once upon a time, and I actually remember some of the B group vitamins. Had to check on a few though, and once that was done, the missus and I set off to pick up a number of puzzles in the area of Peel. Thanks for the puzzle and the hide.

Out on a caching roadtrip for a few day over the holidays I stopped in here to look and find this hide.
It sure has been a really enjoyable scenic country drive.
With so many finds I appoligise for my repeated logs.
Thanks to all the CO for placing their caches along the way
Cheers

Coords are spot on. Puzzle was fun. I enjoyed solving a large number of puzzles last week after dinner as I’m only starting to get my puzzle legs happening. A few early rookie errors early on meant I’d avoided them largely until recently. Thankyou for the training opportunity! Off to log some more I’d pre solved!

#1849 I had plans to go somewhere else this morning with the intention of knocking of a few more hide dates & hide months which I had plugged into the GPSr but then the call from alnic39 first for a puzzle to be solved then did I want to come. Always fun with adlib caching. My GPSr came preloaded with caches but they are only trads and the newest logs are from March 2017 so that is much so have to follow alnic39 only a few times did I have coords so I had to follow Al around then at the end had to get a list of the caches we ended up doing.

This was the 17th another solved puzzle from a few nights ago to add to the list of solved caches to get while in the area today. A nice find whike doing the rounds of the area

We signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Alwyn255 & Becon4046

A quick solve and a quick find. Memories of reading the side of cereal packets before school. And good for hangovers too. Thanks for the cache Alwyn255 & Becon4046

On the Road Less Traveled series (and surrounding countryside) with Steeba.

Sadly, despite our best efforts, we could not turn up anything here today.

Dead end street, with a local watching us like a hawk, really did not have much chance to look sadly.

Cheers

Found with Justjessie who solved the puzzle, TFTC.

Found with O319 on our winter long weekend get away. TFTC!

Great drive by. Found within seconds.

13100. Found during a run up through the Bathurst/Orange region with minniek.

We had pre-solved a lot of puzzles for this region so they were the main aim for the trip. Quite a number of nice Trads and Multis thrown in as well to make up a great weekend's caching ! This was the next stop for Day 2. Enjoyed solving these puzzles. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, returned the cache, and it was off to the next one.

Thanks again Alwyn255 !!

TNLN - TFTC !!

Headed out on a geocaching weekend through Bathurst and on to Orange with Fitzy_1965. We have pre-solved a number of puzzles and they were our main priority. Added in the odd multi & traditional along the way.

Quick find. TFTC

found today on sweep of Bathurst puzzle I had solve until phone coverage ran out TFTC

Just doing a couple of caches on the way home! Thanks for these Mystery caches! : )

Arrived into Bathurst today & have set up camp at the showgrounds. The temperature was about 7 degrees rainy & windy. After a lunch break & rest we headed towards Peel, finding the puzzle caches that we had worked on previously.
Thanks for placing this cache Alwyn255

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

We stayed in Bathurst over night , we have been solving puzzles in preparation for out trip. An early start after big breakfast. Good to see good weather after all the rain we been having. After a little search the cache was found. TFTC

Second day of our weekend around Bathurst/Lithgow. Again lots of puzzles and lots of fun. Some tricky and a few DNF as well, but overall very happy with the results. J+J.AU as my caching friend made a big difference, thanks guys for having me along once again!
TFTC Wilbert67

Up from Canberra on a solo geomission to Bathurst, Mudgee and surrounds The focus of the weekend was to attack as many of the TRLT series as I could as well as any others along the way!

Solved the puzzle in preparation for the trip. I knew exactly what was needed for this one so it was a quick solve. Another quick find at GZ [^]

Thanks for the hide, Alwyn255

Such a beautiful area! Found on a lovely day driving around the area and finding puzzle caches that I solved last year but hadn't had a chance to hunt for yet.

TFTC

Easy peasy once the mystery solved.
No point in barking up the wrong tree.
TFTC

We continued this loop. probably in reverse, but the countryside is wonderful in either direction. While examined one feature, MummyPenny found the decent-sized container at the other. Thanks again Alwyn255.

An afternoon touring the outskirts of Bathurst finding solved Mystery Caches.

Another quick one as it approached home time.

TFTC.

We discovered all those many a couple of days ago.

We have solved all the interesting mysteries before we started our trip to the Mid Western Region of NSW.

Day 1

We started the day in Meadow Flat, followed by Sunny Corner and Dark Corner past Palmers Oakley.
We loved the hilly nature along many peaceful Gravel roads. Many smilies were forming on our map.
We finished the day in Bathurst.

Day 2

We started all fresh again in the morning. Leaving Bathurst, we were able to get going about faster along the sealed road.
We reached Sofala at around lunch time. We couldn't believe that about 40,000 used to live here. It really seemed that the city stopped developing in around the 1850's..
We continued towards Hills End and Windeyer through dry grassy land in 47 degrees heat.
We spend such a beautiful night here in Windeyer in the caravan park. We booked one of the train accomodation where you got to stay in the train back in time. What a great experience. We really liked Windeyer as it seemed so far away from all the city rush. Te locals were very welcoming and were happy to see us in the pub next door for dinner.
What a great community living were it seems like everyone knows everyone.

Day 3

We left Windeyer after a big breakfast. We travelled along Hills End Road until we reached the turn towards another Gravel road. There wer many animals to watch and it got even hotter and hotter.
This day ended in Mudgee.

Day 4

We took a look at Mudgee city today were we searched for a couple of caches and ten continued towards Rylstone.
After we continued to the Wollemi National Park which a good friend recommended us to go. Here we climbed on the top of the mountain and simply enjoyed the stunning view and the tranquil nature.
After, we traveled towards Kandos, Capertee, Cullen Bullen, Portland and Wallerawang back home to Sydney.

We hereby would like to thank all owners for this great interesting tour. We got to see many historical places and sometimes felt like as if we were living back in the the 1850's, which is a good thing.

Thanks

I visited this back 2015 under different name, kamfindit and now I have a new name....
Found it with ALL7 in 2016

Thanks for having us here...

Kamfindit and i from Central coast and we stay bathurst and Mudgee for week....we love puzzle homework with kamfindit... enjoy drive around and good weather ... hide well.. Thank

Out today with Paul the Hippy. Thanks hippy for driving me around grabbing these caches. We had a great day, even when I got a little grumpy at the end of the day. Woke up after spending the night at medow flats. Had a lovely time finding the ones towards Sunny corner. we even went for a walk and grabbed a few which werent on the series. Got to sunny corner and checked out the old tennis court and dance hall.
After sunny corner we continued to dark corner (great with names out here). Visited acouple of cemeteries and continued down the road until it turned dirt. This was our favourite section oof the series as no cars and felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.
Past Mount horrible we went, thinking why is this called horrible and then onto the tar again. Completed a few puzzles and then back on the series.
Following the black top we went, here the pull offs were better then the second section of the series. Loved the town of Peel, where we grabbed a puzzle and acouple in this series. Got to wattle flat and was exhausted. Had fun with the blackberries in the dead center (NOT). Finally made our way to sofala. Lots of history here and visited another cemetery for a puzzle. Thanks for all the caches, lots of hard work went into these and really enjoyed them. Cheers mr_roo

At last a little bit more size on the cache in this series of puzzles that now founds itself in the middle of a power trail. TFTC

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there Alwyn255. We found your cache "B Group" at 10:26:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 11976.
[Blue]
Today was "Puzzle Day" With all the rain lately we have spent lots of time in the caravan solving puzzles. As this was our last day in Bathurst we just had to go out and log all the ones we have solved - - we have been up and down this road so many times in the last week the car almost knows where to stop all on its own.

Today we ended up logging 18 and (DNF'd 3), although not all the finds were puzzles.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

This is a fun series of puzzles and we also found the cache. No problems there. TFTC.

With Rats and the mini rats wanting to use the upcoming Mega as a significant milestone we were starting to look around for some quick numbers when this powertrail popped up. The timing couldn’t have been better and plans were soon hatched for a trip out west.

Teaming up with Mizmaz we had a comfortable 2 day drive through some spectacular countryside and under perfect weather we found this cache and many of the other caches that neighbour this new powertrail.

Thanks for the cache

The mini rats have officially completed our first powertrail. Helping Mizmaz and the Rats we went in search of some quick numbers. We had a lot of fun finding the caches and camping along the way, except for the cold overnight temps in Sofala.

We didn’t sign all the logs as we are using the Melbourne Mega as our 1000th find, but we did enjoy the experience and the beautiful country side. Thanks for the caches and to everyone that hid them.

Bonus detour drive-by while doing TRLT powertrail. Normally don’t include puzzles while on roadtrips with a specific agenda but these were easy enough to do at home and come prepared. Will include a few more in the series when I head to Bathurst end of next month.

Winter weekend in Bathurst and Surrounds with Sol de Lune. With the puzzles solved we headed out along the B road to collect them. A quick roadside stop on the way into the village.

Thanks.

A big day caching TFTC

We decided to find some caches on our way back home after visiting the zoo in Dubbo.
Geodad and I solved the puzzles last night. I was the acted as the "geo-checker" and solved them myself to make sure he didn't make a mistake.
Took a detour in Bathurst to pick them up before going back to Sydney.

I took a little longer than geodad as I didn't know what I was looking for at the beginning.
Quick find.

Thanks Alwyn255 & Becon4046 for creating puzzles that all of us enjoyed solving.

6592 Caches Found

After having a really slack month only found two so far this month, Decided a little road trip was in order to rectify the situation. So rumbled down the thin black line early morning heading down to the Big Smoke and then West to Lithgow, Mudgee, Gulgong, Wellington, Orange then Bathurst heading home. Nice Cache thanks for the Adventure

It was good to follow a cache that needed a bit of a walk with a nice easy one.

Thanks

An easy find as we made our way north to Mudgee. Thanks

Happy to find this one after 2 DNFs on the last 2 cache searches.

Heading for Orange today, but Mr Winglen struggles to pass by a solved puzzle without making an attempt on it. I think we solved this series a couple of years ago - I did the easy ones and left the hard ones for him . A great variety of different puzzles, thanks Alwyn255.
