Tipler's Time Trail #1: Macbeth 1606AD Berowra, New South Wales, Australia
By W Shakespeare on 13-May-14. Waypoint GC54RPE

Have moved this to new location. S33 36.791, e151 09.331. May have to archive this and create new listing. Disabled but findable at new coordinates.

Housing has encroached and new spot is >161m away. Farewell Macbeth! you will be re-born.

Found it! Hopefully first of many

Located at 5:48am. Getting an early start before later heading to work, I decided to finally try this series out. Even at this hour, I was still almost sprung by a nearby muggle neighbour Macbeth is a stellar work. I always have a fondness for The Tempest. Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC

A short afternoon walk in the area of Berowra, picking up a few caches.
After parking our car at the starting point we walked the first 70 meter to the first cache. I followed my GPS further up the hill then required but my geocache buddy was more alert and found the nice big cache.

Thanks for the cache

Taking advantage of the nice sunny day ahead of tomorrow's forecast big wet, I thought it might be time to do some time-travelling. An easy find to get me started.

Many thanks for this interesting series.

The Tipler's time series is perfect for this cloudy day.
Quick find but a house is very close ...
TFTC

I had to really be stealthy on this one, as there were some guys working in a house just on the upper level. Got the clue & headed to the next one..
Thanks asbestiform
#639

2nd cache of the day. Easy find but a muggle busy cleaning up the muggle garden.

Played the old taking picture trick and soon I was able to retrieve nice large cache container.

A quick find after walking in too far and having to retrace my steps. TNLNSL TFTC

Easy find cheers !

TFTC

#1510 Third of nine finds caching around Berowra. Found after a short search. Lots of new housing happening near the cache site. TFTC

A nice easy find to start this series off. The construction of the house is coming along nicely, but there no worker to be found on this Saturday afternoon, so hassles with muggles here. Eager to get out onto this path and explore the rest of the sights and caches. Cheers asbestiform

building works near GZ may require increased stealth. looking at re-positioning this one before the new owners move in.

Woohoo! One down.

Found with JJ

Today we all headed to Berowra for some caching, mainly to do the "Tipler's Time Trail" cache series, but also for a few other caches scattered around the suburb. This was our 1st of 11 finds, and 2 DNF's, for the day.

Parked the geomobile at the end of Mary Wall Crescent, and then headed off down the fire trail on our time travelling adventure. And it didn't take long before we arrived at TTT#1 Macbeth 1606AD, making a super quick find of the nicely "theme matched" container. TNLNSL, noted the clue, and then replaced as found. TFTC asbestiform.

Find #1543

Nice easy find during the school holidays

The first of what turned out to be a great series with Team Webguy! TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A very quick find with a unique container. With the new house about to be built right next to this, it may make for interesting visits in the future.

Will log properly soon. Making note to drop off a trackable.

After working with BC and MV to solve a few cheeky puzzles during the week, we headed south to claim a range of high DT combos around the Berowra region. Today have everything, from tree claims to rock climbs to bush bashing through prickle bushes, fighting off ticks and leeches, and cramping up from too much exertion and not enough water! Apparently 5L for me was not enough

This series was one of our targets for the day - and it was cool to see that the Vikings had also done the series on the same day even if we didn't bump into them.

Given that we were fairly tired after about 6 hours of walking by the time we got to this series, we were pretty keen to make short work of them. This one certainly helped keep our flow going. A quick find and off we went. TNLN TFTC

Today I teamed up with the_garbageman and Marcus Vitruvius for a day of geocaching.
We also teamed up to solve a few nearby puzzles.
After a big day we still had some daylight left.
Lets do this little series.
A nice easy walk to this cache.
A quick find.
A easy fav pt.

Today I found a total of 20 caches.
Total Diff star today = 55 Total terrain stars today= 65
Average/cache Diff = 2.75 stars Terrain = 3.3 stars
No wonder I am a little tired tonight.
Thanks for a great day guys.
Thanks for the cache.

All ok.

Found it, TFTC. There were a few builders nearby, but there was nobody else on the trail today who would have seen us searching. There was also a very friendly tawny frogmouth right near GZ.

Found with BillHill531 on a trip down to north Sydney. In the week leading up to this I have watched no less then four time travel films, so I was basically ready for all adventures today. We had a great time seeing mementos from all the times. And finally finding the time machine.
I pulled a secret lever and the cache just appeared here. Seems like this spot might one day be houses.
Thanks for the secret cache!

Found with TOMBI! looking to fill some missing ones to fill various grids. Didn't perform the play, even with all the words there. TFTC

Came away from this one quite black.
How did I get black charcoal stains on my shirt and pants???
Managed to make the path, looked towards the building site, and noticed a man standing next to a woman holding a dog looking straight at me, oops, I wonder?
I meant to check on the hide on my exit a few hours later but forgot. Hope it's all well, sorry A if I placed it under a muggle risk as I didn't notice them before.

Woo , we loved this one!

Noticed we missed this one so on way back to car picked it up. Collected enough info for series final but with time constraints decided to leave it for another day. Tftc Asbestiform for the unique caches.

What an awesome hide! No one in site except some builders working on a house so I had the place to myself. I rescued a trackable and then began the rest of the trail - tftc!

Love it!!

#2856 - Found on a sunny morning. Dropped off a travel bug. Trail had a few users. Many thanks to *asbestiform* for establishing and maintaining this cache. Picked up some rubbish right near the cache itself.

My big caching journey, Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast via everywhere is now on it's return journey; continuing down the coast via Byron Bay, Port Macquarie and Sydney and concentrating on my Well Travelled Cacher challenge qualification. Today was Newcastle to Gundagai.
Nice spot to stop and make lunch and a coffee (MuggleWifeDoes) whilst I go and find the cache. Quick one today and found in good condition. Saved the clue for some future trip when I might have more time to do the series.
Thanks for placing this cache asbestiform

quick check, returned it to its starting spot.

We thought this cache may have had one of the Travel Bugs from The Revenant, but it wasn't there. Loved the cache and a good spot. Will come back and do the rest of the trail.

Reperio at 0630.

Got up early to visit this series, mostly to retrieve a particular TB from it, and this was the first of three found this morning. Unfortunately with my arm still in a sling, I couldn't retrieve number 4, so left the rest until such time that I can.

Gratias asbestiform.

#2528 (1 of 3 today) (Streak day 219)

Well today I had the Time, so decided to have a Tip(p)le along the Trail and grab the first few caches in this series.

Also looking to drop off The Revenant Movie Trackable #15. Took to all three I found, and then revisited this cache to send it on its way.
Will need to return to finish the series soon.
[center]END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION[/center]
Started at the beginning - always a good place, really - and quickly identified a likely spot based on where the iPhone was pointing.

As I approached, I spotted two parts of a container lying out in the open. Was worried for a few seconds, but then checked the likely spot to find the cache safe and sound.

Nicely presented and hidden. Have a favourite - this one really was the ticket!

After finding Tipler #2 & #3 I returned to drop the TB.

#140
Came here with the intention of doing one per day to keep the streak going but got sucked in and couldn't resist going down the trail just a bit further. Nice hide. TFTC

Only time for one today with sport etc happening. We have been meaning to do this for a while. So called in to see what the start of the trial is like. A quick find was made but we wonder what has made the large hole or burrow in the ground between the split tree. We completed the signing duties, grabbed the clue and re hid. TFTC.

Cool camo. Nice easy find. TFTC. Now on to #2.

We foundith without troubles nor the presence of mugglers. SLTNLN TFTC

TFTC. Quick first one with the geokids. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Could have sworn is logged thus cache before. Anyway done now. Cache was on the ground replaced as I assume it was intended. Tftc.

found without any trouble on a sunny Thursday arvo, replaced well

Found it on a pleasant winter Sunday. A quick find thanks to the hint. There's going to a a lot of building going on here soon as some of the land has been sold off. Hope this one survives. TFTC

First I visited Shakespeare, took photos of contents that I thought would be relevant later. Then found out I hadn't taken note of the most important clue, so I had to return. Nice to have a puzzle cache with a twist that you can do over a period of time. TFTC.

Quick find and then realised there is a whole series. I'll be back for more later. TFTC.

Yay! TFTC. Love the theme.

Was searching about 10 away so ignore GPS to some extent
Got a clue I think but the rest will give context in sure
Great secure container which I secured further

First of five found during a rather wet Saturday afternoon walk with the extended geo-crew. The camo was wet and spongy which put me off at first but the geo-son soon had the CIH. Spotted the first thirsty leech by GZ which was a sign of things to come. Many thanks asbestiform

Quick check, cache is in good nick.

Time traveling with EDF. #1 found. SL. Tftc.

Pyobeon and I walked through Berowra a month ago to the day and enjoyed it so much we decided to repeat it but with a slightly lesser degree of intensity. We really enjoyed the bush and the creativity of all the hides.

Near GZ, we saw a real estate agent showing a couple a plot of land, it looks like MacBeth is about to get new neighbours. He seemed to have lost some of his trimmings but we got the idea. This was the first clue that we found, and we wrote it down wrong, which we realised when we saw the same letter with a different value later on.

TFTC Asbestiform

Well. Today's main objective was to get the nearby Alien cache but seeing this series was on the way no way we were going to miss it! This was found soon after leaving the geomobile. In my haste I mistook something else for the clue and wrote down the wrong number. I figured this out three caches along when I saw the same letter repeat. Woops!

We started our extended trip from Dural. Our first stop was at Berowra Waters. After, we made our way to Forster.
Thank you
Team sissifalke

After checking for permission from the RFS just up the hill, this was an easy start to the series.

TFTC.

Chose to do this trail today with the geokids as the weather was not too hot and it looked like a nice place to visit. Well hidden cache and took a little longer to find than the usual bush cache. TFTC!

I was ahead of schedule so I thought I would try this mini power trail with a prize at the end. Took me 5 minutes to find as the GPSr was not settling. Noted the required value for the final in the series, and set off down the trail for the next one.

TN LN SL. Tks asbestiform!

A quick find, but I got quite a fright from the camo:)

SL TFTC

That was a stirring start and a quick find. Tftc dropped a tb tn.

Found with Bear. Tftc

Luvly day for a walk with perfect. tftc

Came out to Berowra to get this trail today with a non cacher that enjoys the hunt with us. Got #1 pretty quick. TFTC

Container seems to have migrated from its original spot, but for the meantime happy for it to remain there. A fix to the balance issue in the making.

A quick find by Pk and the last one in the series for us! Tftc!

Another night cache with AlphaDeltaIndigo. This is the last of the trads in this series.. Looking forward to tomorrow to get the mystery. TFTC

On our way to Woy Woy, we stopped for this cache. We would have gone for the rest in the series, hadn't the rain started to bucket down. We will continue the series some other time.

MTF

The first cache on the time trail today.
This cache was a great start, taking not too long to find and being a fun container and surroundings.
We thought we noted down the clue... but then at #3 realised that that really WASN'T the clue... so back here for the real one..
Thannks asbestiform - a great cache as a great example for a great series.

** Spoiler Alert ** One of the major plot lines of MacBeth is that it is predicted that he will safe until Great Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane Hill. Given that trees can't move, he is quite relieved.

Why write this? Well apparently some of my forebears lead the attack on the castle, and did so by chopping down branches, and carrying them as camouflage, thus fulfilling the prophecy.

The start of something great, a bushland cache trail. Thanks for the effort that went into the caches along here.

I haven’t had any time for geocaching in recent days but, today, I was briefly in the area and decided to spend a few minutes making a start on this interesting series. I had originally intended to grab only this first one but got a bit carried away and picked up two more.

I found said tree, reached around and got a start as something tumbled before me. Ah, the cache, a handsome container it is.

I signed the log and replaced with care. Or to borrow from the bard, I have writ my letters, casketed my treasure, so all's well that ends well .

Great idea, thanks asbestiform.

Thy letters have transported me beyond This ignorant present, and I feel now The future in the instant.

I initially typed the wrong coords into the GPS which took us too far down the track, across the 'creek' and up the other side to another tree which matched the hint. After a slight look around there and coming up with nothing I looked back to double check the coords and saw we were out by 80m.
Backtracked to the proper coords and made the find. As we were signing the log I read out part of the script but didn't understand a bit of it.
Oh, and That stuff was creepy to touch.
Thanks, a great start to the series

Many brave souls reached in, however, only one man had his thinking cap on; Alturners. He smartly removed the support instead of having to reach into the creepy stuff. Ygghhhuuhh! On the return trip for the cache, I decided to be bold and put my hand in. Put the creepy stuff in so that the next cacher will get a surprise! TFTC!!!

Needed some exercise and had a bored geoteen at home who needed to get out so took her for a geocaching trek for the first time in a while. Parked at the end of the street - why haven't they filled this street with houses I wonder? - and headed to GZ through the burned stuff. "We weren't going to bushbash" was the first thing I heard. Bushbashing? This?

A quick find, took a shot of the clue and signed the log. Also grabbed the TB. Nice container.

Thanks!

TFTC

TFTC!

A good one to start the series, in an interesting piece of bush. It must have been a great area before the fire, and will be again. We took the TB and left a TB, thanks for the hide.

Quick find to start a nice afternoon away from my usual patch so it want impact my available cache for my streak TFTC

TB drop

12/06/14. 7:24 AM. Cache #1611. "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." said the 2nd witch, for twas I, Kid Ron Satan, seeking the firste half of thy power trail this morn, ere my labours. After the full performance, I caught up with the bard himself and told him how his work had been adapted over the centuries. "All hail Vyvyan, Thane of Corridor", for example from The Young Ones (fresh in my mind with Rik Mayall's recent passing). Will didn't understand a word I said in 21st century English, so I left him to ponder the meaning of "whatevs" and set the controls for Pompeii. TFTC }:)

This was only 5 caches off being cache #1606, the same as the year for this cache. Now that would have been good timing!

Late afternoon start had some business down in Hornsby so decided to try my hand at these on the way home. Easy find for this one. Great cache. TFTC

It was a sunny morning and being cache-starved and wanting a ride, I strapped the bikes to the car and we headed off to the Entrance for the day. Hmm, best laid plans of ... (no, ok Shakespeare didn't write that line) - as soon as we got there, the heavens opened, ending our plans.
We got back home much later to find we could have done what we wanted barely 5km away. My, the frog had been busy. So with home duties done, I set out to follow in Richary's footsteps. Nice to see him out and about up here.
After tangling with the witches, the cache was found, signed and returned with stability assured. Just for good measure, i tucked the witches in and we parted as friends. Thanks - that's one down.

After grabbing another FTF near home I headed up here for this series, wondering if I was going to be beaten. No other cars parked was a good sign and I headed into the bush, only to decide to return to the car for some gardening gloves. After a bit of a search the cache and it's spooky camo was found, the number retrieved and headed off to continue the trail. Thanks asbestiform, *FTF* at 1350.
