Hi DameDixsonsOwn,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 45 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 45 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

No luck for us today. We had expected that having read the recent logs before we arrived. Never mind. We enjoyed seeing the Scout facility and learning that Baden-Powell had visited. Cheers... Gazte

thanks DameDixsonsOwn

Being a "scouty" person I'm always prepared for adventure so I couldn't go past without finding this one.

Found on a lovely rainy afternoon. Great place. I’m going to be back for some bushwalking when it’s a bit dryer. Tb grabbed. SL tftc!
 
10-Mar-19
At BPSC for a Scouts training course, we needed an outdoor activity so geocaching was the obvious option (wel,, one of them, there's heaps to do at the camp). Introduced a bunch of people to caching, but also dropped in the Kiki Le Singe TB.
 
10-Mar-19
Found by the Scouts Advanced Practical Supplement Leader training course (68th Leader of Adults).
 
14-Feb-19
It was nice to revisit this place after not having been a member of the scout association for a number of years now. Thanks for the memories.

Found the cache after sitting and thinking a few times. The camo is a bit precarious - extracting the cache required some fiddling to ensure the seat I was on didn’t fall apart

Quick easy find on way to work but only had time enough to find it then be on my way. So log it now.

Nice winter day for a bush walk, we started at the cache location and headed to Cityview Lookout (which can be a great location for a cache btw). On the way back we picked up this easy cache. Coordinates are spot on and geokid located the cache within a minute.

TFTC.

Second day of the geomuster event in Morriset, but officially the first day? well at least I made it to the opening and enjoyed all the people around and the chats. Slept in my car overnight and today went out for a lot of caching and different caches! Today I went all around the lake with very different experiences, from hot walks to quick grabs and hard puzzles to easy finds. Great day! A few caches on the way home!

Great location!

There was plenty of parking not far from the site so we walked to GZ and peeked over from the path, where the cache could be clearly seen from some distance away. I think it may have lost some camo. but we returned it as found. Thanks DameDixsonsOwn for the hide.

Found it! My very first cache! Left the blue frog. It will hopefully be easier in future now I've got a bit more of a clue

Now I know why it is called Pennant Hills - thwarted on the short cut by having the geohound - hoped it would be PH Park rather than Lane Cove NP so had to go via the main road.
At GZ cache quickly found and signed - not too damp. No trace of TB. TFTC

Found by a couple of the BPSC Activites Staff after work! (Got the other excited and hooked!)
 
18-Nov-17
Contents a little moist.
 
08-Nov-17
Sat and looked. There's that something that looks like it has been moved. Bingo.
 
02-Oct-17
Great spot, geokids are part of the scouting movement so it was an interesting place to see. Tftc!
 
27-Sep-17
A bit soggy but nice hide
Got traceable
Tftc
 
14-Sep-17
Located at 11:30pm. Nice fresh new logbook but everything else in the container is damp and mouldy. This cache brings back memories to when I would camp at this facility during my scouting years in the 90s. Such blessedly simple times they were, where chalk chases and seventeen marshmallows on one stick over the campfire were what we lived for .
 
03-Sep-17
My girl's first geocache! Needs maintenance
 
22-Aug-17
I definitely approached this one the hard way......through the bush !

Had a sit down in the sun and was right on top of GZ

Log is a bit soggy but I didn't have time to dry it out

Dropped TB

A very quick find after a long walk around the block after completing this section of the GNW.

Was here for a meeting this morning so had to find the cache! Needs a bit of TLC (which I should remember do do if I'm here again) but a relatively quick find. TFTC!

Amazing find
 
30-Jun-17

Beautiful day for a scout

Cache needs maintenance. Log is starting to go mouldy. Forgot to log yesterday.
 
28-Apr-17
Parked right at GZ and made a quick grab. Very clever little hide. Mr geo1 crawled around on the grass while I signed the log. Left some SWAG for the little ones. The log is soaked and starting to go mouldy. Needs maintenance. TFTC!

We were at Thornleigh Oval for the soccer game of geodaughter. We had a bit of time before kickoff so I wandered down the great north walk towards this cache. It was a great walk indeed! Lots of tall trees. I met a guy who was on the final leg of the whole walk from Newcastle. I told him I was heading to the scout Hall for a geocache. He had actually found a geocache himself by chance recently near Charlestown golf course whilst training for his hike.

Anyway I eventually made it up to the cache, probably went the wrong way towards the end and emerged from some private road. Found the the cache in good order but that log is a bit damp. Went back to the soccer game via the roads.

Nice one. Thank you very much.

I was prepared, as the cache name suggests. Easy find whilst the garbo truck did a 5 point turn whilst emptying green bins.

Thanks DDO

Thanks for the cache!

Great site. Very interesting.
 
30-Jan-17
Quick find with a convenient shady spot to sit and sign the log nearby. Looks like a nice complex for adventure.
 
05-Jan-17
Found without too much trouble thanks to the hint. Have seen a similar hide before. TFTC TNLNSL - unfortunately didn't see the traceable inside.
 
05-Jan-17
The logbook bag and cache both have water inside and the logbook is mouldy but functional. In my previous log I meant *trackable* not traceable. The container is still intact.

No. 795

I was in the area today so grabbed this one before the rains hit. Didn't take too long thankfully. Replaced as found. TFTC!
 
02-Dec-16
Good to see this one back in operation after attempting to find it about a year ago when the cache was missing. No problems today. Dropped a trackable.
 
29-Nov-16
Nice quick find while working with the kings boys and staying at the scout hall Smile
 
02-Oct-16
Having a little spare time today while at a nearby sporting event, I decided to stop and take a closer look at this scouting cache. I really made this a lot harder than it needed to be, and should have read the hint a lot earlier - that would have saved me just a few minutes of searching in the wrong place. In the end it was staring me in the face and a lot less awkward than I thought it was going to be. The log is now dry and can be signed, so no maintenance required. Went for a little wander inside too. Looks like a very nice area for a scouting group, and some history there as well. TFTC Big Grin

I was at the Baden Powell site for a camp so when I had some free time I found this cache. The log was very wet so I tried to dry it out although some pages are sticking together now. It is a lot drier. I replaced it in its hide so that the cache was protected a bit by a rock on top. This is a great camp site and Lane Cove NP has some great walking trails. TFTC
 
10-Sep-16
Tftc could not log it as it was wet
