The Cressy Connection #2 (Kitty's Creek Crossing) East Ryde, New South Wales, Australia
By JordsAU on 16-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4T4JW

Unable to rehide for the time being. May look to replace in the future.

Removing Needs Maintenance attribute from cache.

Bridge has been completed so the cache can been replaced. Eager to finish the series. Thanks Jords!

The bridge has been removed by the council and is being replaced over the coming months. I am temporarily disabling the cache and hope to be able to replace it in the near future once the works are completed.

Couldn't get to GZ as the area is out of bounds and fenced off. Locals estimate that the area is out of bounds for 10 weeks. Oh well have to walk around to retrieve No. 3. You will need to go back to Cox Road then up Badajoz Road and down Twin Road to get to No. 3. Locals are very friendly in giving directions.

Found with help from previous logs TFTC

I ducked and weaved and spun and twisted,
This geocache I surely missed it.
The bridge is changing in September,
Get this one now or you won't remember!

Didn't find but just a note that it looks like the footbridge is going to be replaced so the cache might need to be moved (if it's attached to the bridge haha)

Quick find after lots of false leads

A walk outside the rail and a lw reach revealed the prize. TFTC.

Needed to grab some hours for my drivers license so decided to try to find a few in East Ryde. First (and only) stop of the day. Parked at the cul-de-sac (which was full due to the nearby church) and started our search.

A once over missed the cache but a better in depth search revealed the cache.

Cache's o ring is broken and may fall off, rendering it not watertight.

Thanks JordsAU for another Cressy Connection (hope to finish these off one day)

Time: 1:48 PM.
Cache No. 364.
Streak Day: #1.
Found with William Rhodes.

William Rhodes and I came here after the last job of the day to find this cache. We had come down here a few months back to try and find it with no luck.
Today, with a renewed sense of vigour, we valiantly and enthusiastically attempted this cache.
After only 5 minutes, the cache was in hand.
There wasn't any real difference between what we did today and last time, we just looked in different spots.
Thanks JordsAU.

We looked for this one a year ago and the same result again today. We tried to suss out all the clues from previous logs. Don't jump the fence. Torchlight will help. Bending and reaching. As well as the encrypted hint ofcourse. Whyy is this one so hard for us!!!

Ali600 takes credit for finding this one. Sneaky sneaky!

#394....found with Skyebomonkeytown on our way to the local event. Running out of time I think we were getting a bit worried we weren't going to find this one before we ran out of time but after a little bending and stretching I found it, we signed the log and off to the event we went! TFTC

Yep, sneaky little bugger.
TFTC

I think we made this find easier by torchlight. We were able to concentrate the light onto the cache and with the help of some technology that allowed me to search an otherwise hard to see place, cache was found. Beautiful spot after the rain. Found with Riddell. TFTC

I really adored this little forest-y bridge over the stream, was a nice little spot to stop and look for the second cache in our adventure today. I searched the more obvious places on-road while Jopiter went off-road to get a different vantage point. Sure enough, this proved to be rather successful for him.
TFTC, SL - daringly on the bridge ground, no one was in sight!

I love little preserved forest streams in suburbs, it's like a whole different world! Knowing geocaches and bridges, a different vantage point should do the trick! Number 2, and making good progress with good time! TFCT and SL with Natune as we take on the Cressy Connection series.

After a search of everywhere we could think, came up empty handed, we will return another day.

The creek was just flowing after last nights rain and as I was unsure of its location, jumped down below. After a quick squire down here, returned to the top and then found in the first place I checked up here. Thanks JordsAU

Beautiful area. But geo pen died

Headed to Sydney this afternoon to farewell a friend and fellow cacher. I stopped by here as part of my trip to the big smoke.
I guess I fall into the lucky category cause I found this one in the 2nd place I looked.
Thanks

After an easy find at #1 we got the the bridge.
We looked and looked and looked but with no luck.

From the logs it seems as though its either a very quick find or a lot of frustration.
Unfortunately it was frustration for us. There didn't seem that many places for the cache to be.

Oh well we'll be back.

I am amazed at how quickly I found this. When I actually spotted it about a minute after hitting GZ I was so relieved. It could have been one of those ones that just ruin your day. But all is good! TFTC!

Found during a detour on the way into work. I had been down the street a few months ago but at the time there were Council workers swarming around GZ. This time I only had one muggle walk past as I was heading back to the car. Many thanks JordsAU

Quick find for the streak before the rain comes signed as TA only as pen run out TFTC

Last cache on our way back home from the Ryde Aquatic Centre.
We had to give up on looking because we were getting very hungry.
I will come back for this later.

Tftf

Hubby tilker found this one.. Tftc used to walk home down here after school all the time. Great memories! Thanks!

After a brief hunt in the cool, thatkid_ and I found this one, lurking near a moderately large spiders web.
I wasn't keen to investigate, which is why I didn't see it the first time.

Thanks for the cache.

Hunted around before jumping the fence - this was unnecessary as TheScoutWizard came up with the goods TFTC

Yay!! Found after popping my thinking cap on! A fun series!

This one proved very difficult to do in the dark. Co-ords had us in the middle of nowhere interesting with nothing that the cache could be associated with (according to the clue) and cars kept arriving!! We gave up, only to soon discover I'd lost my hairpin somewhere in the search. Ah, the sacrifices we make.

We came in from the south and were wondering why there were so many cars parked near the bridge around 9am, oh, there is a preschool across the bridge, now it made sense..thanks JAU.

Second one for tonight!

Quick find. But I would recommend the hint don't drop it. Otherwise I guess it will be gone soon. First one on a brand new log book.

Looks like the cache container has gone so I have replaced it and inserted a fresh log. Game on!

Planning to action in the next few weeks, stay tuned.

Temporarily disabling...

.

Couldn't find it even though we knew exactly what we were looking for. :/

The last comment suggests it was moved and possibly discovered and removed by now.

What a pity. We were so looking forward to completing this series. Hopefully the CO will replace it.

The glue on the container came off the magnet, so I stuck it above where it had been with some leaflitter on top of it. For the next person to find this, or maybe the CO (as log is full also), you might try putting the magnet inside the container to see if that will work.

Nope didn't find it, sigh , now I miss number 2&3 of this series, thx anyhow

Found with CJ on a steamy wet Saturday afternoon. We took a couple of mins to find the cache. I noticed a spot where I thought I'd place it, but moved on following the GPSr. I soon came back and spotted the little nano and showed CJ as I retrieved it. We signed the log and replaced it as we found it.

We've been focusing on doing caches on our North Ryde list. We've also been wanting to knock off caches on the Power trail. The cache coords and hint were excellent. It wasn't too hard to find the cache but think this would be tough at night time with a torch. Nano can be easy and tricky, and this one was not too hard to find.

Anyway, it was a great day to chase down more nearby caches. Thanks JordsAU for another of your caches. SL TNLN TFTC

Set out to do a few caches of the Cressy Connection series today, hoping to find some before the heavy rain came. This was our first today. AM found this one quite easily which is always encouraging. Note to self: Must * remember * to bring * log rolling tool!! Thanks for the series, JordsAu!

I drove over to this one after picking up a mystery cache in the area. I was able to park very close to GZ and found the cute object in literally the first place I looked. The coordinates are spot-on.

I hope this one didn’t contain a clue to find the final as I forgot to check. The log is all but full, maybe space for one more finder.

Thanks JordsAU.

Peaceful

TFTC. Field position. Full log to follow

Found at 6:00pm. Read up on this one before diving into the search. As a result, cache was in first place I looked at

A neat hide! Such a cute bridge. SL TFTC.

Reperio at 0820.

I was headed to Glenbrook today to pick up some geocaching goodies...and decided to take a little detour to find some caches. This was the second stop in this series this morning, and after a short search, the cache was found.

Gratias JordsAU.

Say that name three times fast! Nice walk along Cressy Road to collect our last in the series before the final. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek

Found on a sat morning mission with mildly interested geoson tftc

Had a bit of time between clients so did a few in the area.

There was a steady queue of mums rushing up to the day care place via the bridge, so had to pick my timing carefully. Nice spot for a hide.

Thanks again Jords.

FootyFanatics and I decided to clear this series today. Nice quick find. TFTC

Found it while attempting this series on a hot Saturday afternoon with evangt. Another quick find by evangt. TFTC

A little bit of looking first but in the end the fingers found it. After signing I had to wait for a passing jogger before the replacement. Thanks JordsAU.

Loads of mozzies near gz, quick grab here before moving on to the next in the series TFTC

I couldn't find it booooo

This one took way too long to find. The team conducted the search, all of us assuming that someone else had checked 'that' spot. We looked low and high, sometimes questioning the terrain and sometimes not (it is accurate). We were contemplating a PAF when finally geomum asked, 'so where would the first spot you would look be?', referring to one of the old logs. I said, 'here I guess, but it's not... hang on a second' and bang I had it. Don't know why it took so long!!!

#346 (12 of 12 today)

Still had time after a quick find at Dress Circle Estate Electric Railway Station. Parked the car on the South side and, after a muggle watering her garden asked me if I was lost, walked to GZ.

Sized up the possible hides as my iPhone was playing "I'm not telling you where GZ is". One of the first I noticed seemed likely, but kept cataloging them. Started by checking the obvious. Nope. A few other spots also proved empty.
I was running out - of both spots and time. After about 15 minutes and about half the spots rechecked, I found myself back at the spot I'd noticed early on.
And realised I hadn't checked it yet.

Why do I keep doing this to myself? Checked it, and of course found the cache.

And now I was running late. Ah well. All cached out for today. But there's tomorrow...

Out for a mornings caching before Patrick Rafter makes his return to tennis - gotta see that!
1st stop, looked at the structure and narrowed down the possibilities. Checked one spot, cut arm on structure, think my tetanus is still valid, 2nd spot found it. SL & returned, back to car, oh need to collect info so back, cache retrieved again, all done & replaced.
The fencing guy at the nearby house must have wondered what I liked so much about the structure.
TFTC - I'll ring you if I get lock jaw. No that won't work, I won't be able to talk if I get lock jaw.

Second visit here for this one and found in 10 seconds - that's all the series found now just got to work out where #7 is

#2402
Came down to this cache again and searched for another 10 min. Then went to TAF and got a reply to send me to where I had previously looked. DOH! SL and replaced. TFTC.

Second Cressy for today, no problems to find it.

My geo luck ran out on this one - I found 1,3,4,5,6 of the series no problems but just couldn't locate this one - I'll be though

Off to a good start. First two in first places I looked. SL. TFTC.

2 from 2. So far so good!quick find!

When I saw this series pop up I thought great - 7 caches within 2km - no car required. So geoson and I headed off this morning in the considerable warmth and headed up Pittwater Rd. The ride getting to No. 1 was the hardest, that hill gets me every time. Plus I am out of shape.

We found all the first 6 caches in quick succession, no need for any help, which hasn't always been the caches with JordsAU caches. Collected all the clues when they were to be found. But our sky high confidence was dashed at the final where the direct sunlight at GZ wasn't helping our motivation. After about 10 mins we went to find a coffee (and juice for geoson).

TFTCs JordsAU a really good ride through familiar surroundings for us. I'll be back for the final soon.

Today I finally came back with Sjamp to finish the series and grab this one before we attempted No. 7
Didn't take us as long as we expected after reading the logs and soon had the cache in our hands
TFTC JordsAU
Found with Sjamp

Jono_9 showed a keen interest in this new series so this morning we headed off to find this one. We hadn't loaded the coordinates into the Garmin so it it was phones or nothing. Of course it was obvious where the target GZ was, but the middle or near an end? Standing out in the open suggested a distance and after counting paces the cache was easily found. Thanks JordsAu.

Headed down the thin black line again to the Western Suburbs of the Big Smoke. Vie Ryde then out to Rouse Hill, Windsor, Annangrove etc again this morning to try my luck and find some caches I missed last trip and have some fun. Great cache. TFTC

DNF on #2! Was a pattern happening here? Even with GZ to myself, I spent 15min looking for all things that the hint specified, but nada. Next time.

The second in the series and the first that demonstrated how truncated this road is. Navigation wanted me to drive right around but I ignored it and had a short walk to GZ. Nice little crossing. Searched for a short while but made a relatively quick find - could be tricky. Signed and replaced.

Thanks!

A bit harder than number 1 but there aren't too many spots here knowing that JordsAU is normally pretty accurate with his co-ords. Four down, over half way in the series. TFTC.

I ruled out the possible spots one by one and soon had the cache in hand.

TFTC.

OHHH AAAHH I never thought about that one which it was an execellent hide because sevabo and I over looked at this one for a few times until she got it. I am happy because if I wasn't with sevabo then I may never find it. TFTH.

I wish I could scream 'YEEEES' but afraid to attract the neighbours. it was very good hidden. thanks for bringing us here ★ ★ ★

7/01/14. 6:37 AM. Cache #1205. Any thoughts that I'd had about doing this series quickly, just because I was doing it by bike, were dashed at this one, the hardest of the lot. I found it half an hour after #1 and very little of that time was spent riding downhill to it. Part of the time was spent on muggle pauses as a few joggers and dog walkers came by, but most of the time was spent going in circles. I found it in one of the first places I looked, but about the 5th time that I looked there, having been on both sides, up and down. Relieved to get it in the end, and signed as 3TF. Difficulty is about right - it's one of those ones where you think it's much harder until after you've found it. Back to the bike and up the hill to #3. TFTC }:)

Found at 4.08pm J*FTF* with Ernest13tse.


After my fast success with #1 i made my way to number 2 in the series. I arrived here about 6 min before we found the cache. After 3 min of searching i was joined by Ernest13tse. We started searching and in a matter of just a few min Ernest came up with the goods. We signed the log at 4.08pm and agreed we would continue the rest of the series together. Replaced the cache and made the dash for number 3.

Arrived here from #1, and saw Goughy2012 already there searching. We greeted each other (nice to catch up to and with you!), and he said he was still looking for it; I made the find in the first spot I checked! Signed as a joint FTF, returned it to its nice little hiding spot, and onwards to #3! TFTC, JordsAU

I thought I will find this cache quick but no it isn't also I came here second time and it is still not luck for me. I will have to come back here one day soon.
