Westminister Park Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia
By Goughy2012 on 17-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4T6H1

I arrived at GZ and completed quite a search of the area to no avail. I checked the previous logs and saw the possible reason for my lack of success. time to move on!

With DNFs going back to May and a Needs Maintenance log that hasn't been acknowledged for two months, I guess it's time to put this cache forward for review.

This ones gone. Been meaning to archive for a while. Been pre occupied with work and my young son. Look out for a possible replacement cache.

Had a good look, 4 people unable to locate this cache....

No find here....needs a check by the CO

After a long search nothing

Out for nice Autumn walk with my wife, Viola, and SSSonya. Saw a couple of other cachers in the park and joined in the search. With 6 sets of eyes (including geodog Molly), thought this would be an "easy find" ..... was not to be . Hope it's still there somewhere, for another go next time.

No luck today, although did bump into some other cachers (team frazel) which was cool ...hasn't happened to me for a while!

Found!

Great spot. Found on early morning expedition with the kids.

found it. i had a bit of trouble putting the lid on the container as the paper couldn't quite fit. you may find the lid is a bit loose. TFTC

Quick easy find for geoson.

This was a nice and easy find today, after I successfully found one of the more difficult caches in the area.
The previous one to find it didn't put the log back in properly as it was just shoved into the bison tube. It took a bit of effort to extract it.
Signed and replaced the log properly for the next to find.
Thanks for the cache.

Working in the area so stopped by after work. The trees were causing a little GPS bounce but eventually settled down enough to pin point GZ. Only after a close look did I spot the hide...!

There was a cache in this park in the playground once. This new one is better placed and quicker to find. Thanks Goughy2012.

Felt so exposed out here but luckily for me it's a quick find. Thanks for hiding a cache in this well maintained park.

Easier than expected..

Good

Caching with AlphaDeltaIndigo. Another quick park and grab.. ADI wouldn't jump the fence.. So the grab duties was left for me. TFTC

Park gates locked..so Pk became a badass! He jumped over the fence...like the cow jumped over the moon...while I sat and watched Pk make an easy find!
I signed the log and Pk replaced cache. Team effort!
Tftc

Merry Christmas. Quick find. Signed log and returned. Thanks for placing.

Third visit and found

Quick one NOT- the playground rather distracted searchingly!!
Tftc

Had a few hours to spare after geoson's kindy orientation morning and decided to pick up a few caches in the area. This proved to be a relatively easy find, the only person in the park this morning was a middle-aged woman singing along to music playing on her phone. SL TFTC Goughy2012!

Found it a bit away from where the GPS indicated but it didn't take very long. TFTC.

Logs full and could do with replacing. Thanks for the cache.

See-saws these days are sure different from when I was a kid! GKs were more interested in that than looking for the cache, as they so rarely get to play on one. TFTC

Found it but no pen to sign log unfortunately tftc

Found it!

Found it, full log to follow. Thanks For The Cache Goughy2012.

Where you would expect it to be. Very fun to find!

My very 1st find! Found with theseamonkey. Luv the spot, TFTC

After multiple futile attempts of fuming at vegetation and abortions due to muggle activity, went out one last time with Prado Pete (whose first time it was). PP made the find (a good 10 m from where I had been searching). TFTC!

It's more like a quad

Another empty park and playground on a Saturday, do kids just stay indoors on video games these days? Nice quick find here in the first spot I checked, but never worked out what the hint meant. Thanks Goughy2012.

Found it

Whoo+!!!

Found. Thanks.

Good hide but didn't have a pen so didn't record date or name

A nice quick one to finish off the long adventurous day.

TFTC.

(Did you notice the street and park are actually called Westminster, not Westminister?)

Nice little park and trees.

I didn't have to tri too hard to grab this one!

TFTC

Thanks

Found it

Found within seconds!! Nice came work too.

TFTC, NazzoR

Definitely more like a quad but fun nonetheless!

I'm here in the dark, searched for about 30 minutes, I suggest checking for it, it might be stolen, I'll be back in daylight though to try again, just to double check it tht was the reason, but I found a spot that seems like it buts it's empty, sure not sure

Nice hide! Thanks

#398 (Streak day #50)

Fifty days. Huzzah!
Yet another late find due to a lunchtime DNF in the city. Sigh.

Arrived at the cache (before 7pm thankfully) and noted my iPhone's GPS had stalled outside the park. Even when it finally started moving it never put me in the park.
Park empty, so a stress free search. Had to use the hint to try and locate GZ. Aah, over there.

As I approached the cache, I saw it was completely uncovered. Hmm, CIH. Moved to the picnic table to complete signing duties.

Returned cache to it's... erm... hide(?!) and added extra camo.

More like a quad than a tri.....A quick find, thanks.

Found it on an overcast Australia Day. Nice quick find in another empty park. TFTC

After sitting at home twiddling my thumbs for almost two weeks after the collarbone incident. The urge to go caching was overpowering so just on dark set off down the thin black line again to the North Western Suburbs of the Big Smoke. Vie Ryde then on to Concord, Homebush , Rydalmere, Pennant Hills and Normanhurst. etc to try my luck and find some caches I missed last trip and have some fun. Strange clue. Great cache. TFTC

Cool spot.

On way to my geofriend's place and find it easily, thanks for bringing me here

On the way to airport - quick and signed the log. Thanks Goughy2012.

Neat cache. Well hidden. TFTC

A quick find to round out the day. Didn't understand the clue at all though. TFTC!

I went to Westminister Abbey in July and this park felt like I was back in London again. TFTC

On the way home from Castle Hill (nightmare shopping during the post Christmas Day sales!) I decided to stop off at a "rayround" for the kiddies, and this seemed a good choice. Geokid9 joined me in the search, and we started where the phone was pointing. This wasn't that successful, and he quickly got bored and went off to play, so I widened my search area, until at a point 12m from my phone's GZ (mustn't like the trees) I spotted something. Ta-da. TNLNSL TFTC

camo replaced and updated good to go

Off line for camo upgrade.

Good memories at this park thanks for the cache

Ok TFTC

Argh...... So hard

Tftc - quick find while in the area!

Found it. Thanks!

Easy find, more difficult finding a gate into the parked near where I parked.
Couldn't see the relevance of the clue.

#2371
Closest to home, around 400m away, but I didn't feel like a FTF and knowing B@W is always about, let him take it again. I parked nearby and this time walked over to a different spot than the last hide here a year or so ago. Found it fast and SL and then replaced again. TFTC.

quick grab on the way home from work. Was s few muggles around but they didn't take any notice of me

TFTC !!!

As we entered Westminster Park, YGAT made straight for the swings but I reminded her that she had to help search for the cache first or she couldn’t log the find.

We soon had the cache in hand and a rather miffed YGAT had her swing.

Thanks Goughy2012.

As we were parking we noticed a group of muggles exercising in the park. Luckily, they jogged off as we were getting out of the car and we had the place to ourselves. With no kiddies around I took the opportunity to have a swing, after we found the cache of course. SL TFTC

23/11/13. 2:29 PM. Cache #1081. Still working on a filter of those in my home 25km, under 2 months old. Today, with the rain holding off, I targeted those in my NW. Ended up with 4 finds and 3 DNFs with this being the first of my finds. It was also today's easiest; I pretty much just walked straight up to it, signed it and back out in minutes. Off to I Park, Dural. TFTC }:)

Found this today after a bit of head scratching, with Geo-son. Enjoyed some time at the park before the next big storm came through! Thanks Goughy

This was a quite tricky and had me circling for a few minutes.
Much better than the previous cache here.

SL TFTC

You know you've been geocaching a while when so many caches are "second generation". You remember the previous cache as soon as you pull up. I think the old one was one of the dreaded playground caches, happily this one isn't. As the rain came down sporadically I circled the potential hides before spotting a likely candidate and found the sneaky cache. Signed and replaced without getting the log wet.

Thanks!

After getting home we saw this was still unfound so the kids where keen to make a night time find so off we went. we parked and saw no one around so hopped over the fence (too dark to see a gate) and the GPSr took us right to GZ where we made a quick find. We opened it up to confirm **FTF**. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
