The Cressy Connection #5 (Pidding Park) Ryde, New South Wales, Australia
By JordsAU on 16-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4T92E

Looks like this one's gone missing during the recent civil works along GZ. Will archive for now but may revive this cache and enhance the series in the future.

Nope I couldn't find it either and I only just see its been archived today.

Another dnf yo the list

Time for an owner check

Today we headed over to East Ryde to continue with our short walk and "park & grab" cache hunting, and to collect some solved puzzle caches. A total of 15 finds for the day.

No luck for us here today, searching every nook & cranny, but will have another go when we are next in the area. TFTH anyway JordsAU.

could not locate it today. might be missing based on old logs.

Second time back, still no find

To much traffic pulled off Victoria Rd and found a little patch of caches. And I let the traffic past. TFTC.

Found after EH preserved and dug even deeper. Log is full though and needs replacement. TFYC

Took advice from previous finders. I persevered, I dug in deep , went deeper , and eventually got CIH. TFTC JordsAu

Searched deep with no luck
Thanks

Got it after some time. All I can say is, persevere !!! TFTC

There was only one place it would be and after a short poke around I found it. TFTC

Help!!!

So much fun slightly frustrating haha

Solid hide. Be prepared to get your hands dirty.

So much fun!!! Great hide patience is a virtue

Poke around and you will find, an awesome hide that’ll blow your mind.

Took a while but defs where the coordinates are

Cause I'm in too deep..
Really, you gotta look deep.

Located at 6:35pm. Sneaky little hide! There is a similar one in Beecroft that took me multiple attempts to find, this thankfully took me a couple of minutes. Very nice and clandestine. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

A morning find (along with the nearby multi) on the way to work as I edge my way to the mandatory 400th find for the year. Déjà vu at GZ but can't remember whether I found a cache here or not. Many thanks JordsAU

OCW Rodney1210. This one took a little while but Rodney found it in the end in a place we’d already looked! Pays to do a second sweep of the areas. Got a fright from a local during my search. Sneaky hide! TFTC!

OCW Coastblue. Oh, this was a sneaky one! Searched for a good while, the sun started to get hotter and I felt my patience slipping. Finally, something I saw in a previous log gave us a lead but it still took some searching before I found the sneaky sucker! Good thing I’m not afraid of spiders! Cache# 565 TFTC

A quick find today. Only one spot left on log sheet now.

A quick find. The cache signed and replaced as found. RIP:)

I knew what to look for and I THINK I looked everywhere, but found nothing.

I found this earlier in the year and checked it on the way to Millsbury(Ryde) cache.
It's in place where it should be.

Found it after a nice walk in the woods! Tftc!

No luck today this is the third DNF so may need maintenance

I'm not found...

It had been a long day and my phone was about to die so we decided to have a quick go at it. But got confronted by a few soccer muggles and made the excuse we lost something, at that point we decided to give up and go home.

A few hours for geocaching in East Ryde. Today an interest series of caches around the Fields of Mars, which turned out to be a large cemetery.
Once uphill I arrived at the cemetery the first thing I noticed were the tiny houses at the graveyard. Without exception these belong to Italian families and each house was well maintained.

Thanks for the cache!

Found it. Thank you jordsau.

Had no problems in finding this cache. The cache was found quickly and easily. The log was signed and the cache was replaced as found. Now off to the next one. Thank you JordsAu for placing this cache.

The council workers working nearby meant I had to use some stealth in searching for this one.
There weren't too many places where this could be and I soon had the cache in hand.
The third of this series I've now found. I signed the log and took a happy snap of log and cache then replace carefully without being seen by the workers.
Okay, off to do the nearby Multi.
T4TC ??

Couple of options within a few metres of the car but previous logs quickly narrowed down a suitable hole. Some ornate family vaults nearby while others, sorry, look more like toilet blocks or electricity substations.

What a cool find!!!

Nice easy find, in a spot that looks like it was designed to put caches in. Did not have pen so could not sign

TFTC

It's almost as if that particular feature was designed and placed there specifically to hide a cache in.

We had worked out what we would be looking for so had a fair idea on what to expect. It was found after not a very long search as there were limited opportunities for a placement here. Our initials were noted on the log and then we went to visit family members in the local resting place. Many thanks to JordsAU for this cache in a very quiet area.

Apologies for the late log
Thank you for the cache

Now that is a cheeky little hide...
Got to GZ and we were thinking "is there really a cache here?" because it seemed to place us in the middle of the road!

But we persisted and checked everywhere we could, even if we didn't think a cache could be placed near here. Ambi thought she checked a spot, but I gave it another check and there it was! My fingers hit the prize! unexpected spot too.

Great little hiding spot for it, thanks

It's so small! But I found it (and the coordinates are perfect). TFTC!!

Second attempt and success!

That was hard to find!

After a quick random chat with police in this deserted dead end I went to the obvious hide. Fingers doing all the work. TFTC.

Some hotter colder help

Took a little time but good cache

Checked here first, but could not find until came back later. TFTC.

Thank you to the creator, without you we may have been in danger of holding on to our sanity. But really, thanks, cool cache

Spent a bit of time looking in the wrong place before having a break to find the nearby #6. On my return, the iPhone pointed me somewhere similar nearby and I made a quick find. Hardest part was rolling up the log. TFTC

TFTC a quick find along our journey.

Waited for a few muggles to pass, then zeroed in on it straight away. Nice find after school. TFTC.

I was on my way to an 'Old Warriors" get-together (retired Industrial Arts teachers) and did some caches on the way there and on the way home.
An easy find by feel.
TFTC

Hunted around while feeling that I was being watched!! But no find this morning.

Tftc

TFTC 1784# out and about with TMcKenzie

Found after looking in wrong spot. Tftc

:O <-- the face I made when I felt the cache after a 5 min hunt. TFTC!

Found after clean up Australia Day. Cheers for the cache

Thanks to GamingCaving for helping me perform maintenance by replacing the full log while I am away.

# REPLACED LOG #
Grabbed this cache after an event hosted by JordsAU and my first CITO, SL, RPL and TFTC

Good one. Paper log is well and truly full.

Tftc

TFTC

Nice Hide. Log is full. TFTC

Found in the place I looked last time! Look is full and slightly damp. Added new piece of paper that can last maybe 4 others.

We checked a few obvious places then found the little thing in a slightly less obvious spot. Unfortunately we couldn't grab #6 as we received an important phone call requiring us to immediately curtail our caching activities. Thanks for the series so far JordsAU.

Found by Snoopy1976 about 5m away from GZ.

New log required log full.

TFTC

Looked around for a short while before snoopy1976 found the sneaky little hide. Lovely night for a evening find.
Log was full so couldn't sign.

Streak Day #899 - walked down for a fairly quick find. Log was full and requires replacement. TFTC

Found it. 5th find of the day in the North Ryde Area with Snoopy1976, contactpete and spy79. TFTC. Log is Full

It is indeed here and coordinates are good.

Log full, had to double sign in slot #6.

Nope, no luck for us today.

Looked at coords and around. Found another geocacher we had no luck finding it. Suspect it may be missing.

Great hide. Logbook is dry and full. Managed to squeeze my initials MS on line 28. For some unknown reason had a mind blank and signed log as 29/9 (duh!) SL No room for swaps or drops . TFTC TFTH.

Logbook is full and requires replacing.

Came back. Was exactly where I thought it would be last time but for some reason I couldnt feel it. Took only a few minutes. Log was full so I couldn't sign. TFTC

Got it TFTC

After finding #6 with relative ease I was sure this was going to be the same. I was wrong. Looked for ages, possibly in the wrong area due to my inaccurate phone. Glad it was a quiet night. I must have looked mighty suspicious.

Found it, but the log is completely full. Managed to make a mark in a small section.

Clever hide log finished

Found it

Found with geo sisters TFTC

Nice quick find.

Another quick find

2 nd for the day nice hide

No ones awake.
TFTC

Easy find and had this little fella in hand in no time. Found with Riddell by torchlight. TFTC

It was a massive nostalgia hit for me to walk along the outskirts of this cemetery today. After recalling just where this cache was located on the map I checked at home, we arrived at the approx. GZ for a quick find, but we snooped around with a torch first after spotting that red-back at Tyrell Park.
We were feeling pretty successful by this point with 5 cache's under our belt now, so decided to celebrate by being dorks and climbing a nearby tree and then rolling down the grassy hills and making ourselves thoroughly muddy and a little sick. (Jopiter's jeans are even worse by this point now).
I must admit though, we probably would have done this regardless of our success.
TFTC, SL.

Thing about sticking your fingers in hidey holes is that you could find a spider on the other end as opposed to the cache. It was worrying considering we'd seen a red back in the previous cache, but a massive relief that we got the latter! It was around golden hour and from where we stood, the grassy slopes looked absolutely gorgeous, and totally irresistible. We climbed a tree on the way and rolled down the hill several times with grass in our hair and silly grins on our faces. TFTC!

Found and initialled back on Feb 21st, I remember it took its time to reveal itself.
Returned today to grab the number but this time I couldn't spot it. I'm not working too far away, so I'll have another crack over the next few days for the info. Thanks Jords

A fairly quick find with Angel_Eyes, although we did need to look in a few spots.

Lots and lots of redbacks around, so beware!

Ended up suspecting a certain tricky spot before carefully teasing it out gingerly with a finger.

Didn't grab a clue on this one, so may need to return one day.

Thanks for the cache!

Took us a while to find this one, and the cords were spot on. Also found a Redback spider in our searches! Replaced the log back into the lid as is best for these types of caches, so it should be easy to remove next time. Tftc!

Sneaky little hide

Nice quick after school find TFTC!

A quick find, owing to a comment on someone's log! Thanks! My daughter didn't want to put her fingers in - she's a bit scared of spiders! TFTC!

Looked for ages. Couldn't find it anywhere
