STOCKTON BIKE / WALK TRACK # 8 Stockton, New South Wales, Australia
By Yella Belly on 21-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DDJW

Too much trouble with muggles , sorry but need to archive it and the series.
Yella Belly.

I decided to do a lap out this way after work and this was my third stop. Out of this peninsula I only have number eight and nine left to find, so I parked in the middle and went for a walk. After studying logs and photos I think I know what I am meant to be looking for, but I could not find anything that looked like the cache. Either the difficulty rating is wrong or the cache has gone walkabouts.
Thanks for the fun walk anyways!

Tried hard 5 kids and 3 adults

Too well hidden for me.

Followed clues and had a look at previous activity. A good 30min looking for this one.

Beats me

One of the only ones I found in this trail I was gonna use it as my hitting stuck for cobwebs

As per FootyFanatics

Found it on an overcast Sunday while staying at Port Stephens. Not a fan of creepy crawlies but all in the name of geocaching I plowed on in to the dense bush and thanks to the hint found the cache quickly, TFTC

Found it with VirgilGant. I checked the perimeter while VirgilGant dove in deeper. Tftc.

Tftc. Had to muster some courage for this cache. Was expecting it to be higher up. Found with Romnie and geokid.

Lots of creepy crawly stuff in there, lucky my youngest has a keen eye and no fear!

#616.... found with Seemyshell on the last day of 2015!
I let Seemyshell go in for the grab on this one......very bushy and I didn't want to meet that snake!
Thanks for this PT in such a great spot. We are from Sydney and it was a great way to explore the area.

TFTC - on the last day of the year, Ali600 & I wanted to complete this little trail.

After reading past logs regarding a local Red Belly Black Snake, I was hesitant to go in. However 'I need to find it' and soon had the CIH.

Feel free to follow my Geocaching Adventures on YouTube, Periscope & Facebook. 'The Aussie Geocacher, Seemyshell'

Go us

Snake move on but mosquitoes move in

Unable to get due to a red belly black snake.

Beware red belly black snake

Clever hide

Too many muggles nearby. Didn't want to compromise cache location.

9868 + 1121 = 10989. Found during a short visit to Newcastle.

Today I wanted to do the loop around the Stockton area grabbing as many caches as I could before time ran out. Continuing on from #7 this was the next find for the day. Took a bit longer than any of the others. Signed, returned, and I was off to the next one.

Thanks again Yella Belly ! Sorry for the late log but I've been O/S for a while.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

After a great hamburger in Newcastle we still had time to come back here for a few more finds. Sun was out, and we enjoyed several quick finds. Thanks Yella Belly.

Need to take that clue literally! Tftc!

This took 10 kids and 5 adults 10 mins to find. Great hide.

Quite a tricky one! But happy to find it TFTC

Great find. Very tricky

Good hide, was about to call it a dnf

TFTC - tricky!

Most upsetting to say that after a fair bit of searching, it was a did not find.

Found with tassie expat while up from Phillip Island. Thanks for placing all of these caches. This one took a bit longer and we had to be almost on top of it to see it.

This was a tricky one, even with the hint. frmen1 was the lucky finder. We had to use stealth mode as there was a technician working next door. We snuck in and out whilst he went for a quick walk. TFTC

Did a check today and still there but not easy to spot. About half meter high.
Good Luck!

Unfortunately not our turn to find this one today. we did find remnants of what may have been the cache camo but nothing around that we could see to sign. the area is little trashed from what looks to be a hideout for the kids. maybe next time.

Found the camo in a lot of bits need to check log not there

Did not find on a boys day out with my son and Orrsome86. We were pretty thorough so I do not know where else it could be. There seems to be a pyromaniac in the area as a few of the bushes in around here are all burnt out.

Gotcha !!! A Fav. Point From me today. TFTC

Found - yay.

7 in one day not bad

Tftc
Gnarly tree but still spotted cache

Sneaky sneaky

Found it with mr_cougar79 and kyumi !! What was a beauty !! Ps I stayed outside !

Cleverrrr!

Maybe too dark

Thanks for the clue!! TFTC

Enjoyed on your series at Stockton town for a day with geomum...
easy to find as sign in as no trouble... Thanks

As I approached, I said to myself, I hope it is not in there and I was right. Not too many spiders. TFTC Yella Belly. Not sure if I will get to do the series.

Great find

Easy find... If you don't care about spiders!

Went for a walk with muggle cousins from this area stopped at this one and lo and behold it was found by muggle cousin while I was still looking think he could be a professional at this game.Good hide.TFTC.

Very tricky lots of webs great hide

Not the first time I've seen this type of camo, thankfully...

Need some commitment for this one.

A mozzie haven, lucky the find was quick after reading the hint. TFTC.

Found but it took me a while even with the "Clues". TFTC Yella Belly.

Spiders, doggie doo, a lounge seat- this cache has it all! TFTC

Logging my find properly this time. Glad that I made it out alive after finding this one! TFTC

while cycling with friends in this beautiful country,I manage to do some geocaching, tftc

We came here to do a day of caching and were very pleasantly surprised by the activities here in Stockton, we set off on our bikes and rode around and found as many caches along the way. We found variety of types , crafty once and little more challenging once. thanks to all the CO for there efforts. well done. TFTC

I did the Stockton mosquito feeding trail successful.
I could not find #3 and #4 and number #5 and #6 was not on my PQ but with the numbers I had, I could find the final.
Thanks

Found It!

Yay!! 3rd time lucky! Found in a minute after telling Sig the clues rec'd from CO & the last spoiler image. 'Oh yeah I found that last week!' He obviously didn't look that hard! We could have killed him! so all up this cache took approx 1 hr & 1 minute to finally complete! SL TFTC Yella Belly. Series finally completed! Quite a few challenges.

Tough hide.

Another search, with no result.
I didn't read the description, so initially I was searching for what used to be here. Obviously nothing!
After a read of the update, I still couldn't find anything, so I'll just have to return another day.

Have to really look for it!

TFTC

Tftc

Tough to find but good search

No luck again today!

Too good for us today. Looked for half an hour with no luck. Couldn't even associate the hint with anything. We'll try again another time.

B & M hunted for a while but could not find this one with too many possibilities.

As it went missing, have changed the container and in a very slightly different position.
Please replace carefully so muggles leave alone.

After a thorough search, I resorted to the PAF option. Previous finder confirmed for me where and what I should be looking, but I still had no luck.
Another day..............

I had to approach GZ from a few angles before seeing the camo and cache, although the container caused some concern initially. Thanks for a great hide.

Scary stuff. TFTC

Accompanied with all7 for the day, enjoyed wander and scene with very warm weather... Signed the log, thanks Yella Belly.

Almost gave ro a heart attack l o l. tf tc and greetings from new zealand

accompanied with Everlasting for the Day.. Good drive around to Newcastle and Beautiful day... Hide well.. Thank

Todays trip was Stockton & then closer to town.
We visited many different locations & found some interesting caches..
Thanks for placing this cache Yella Belly

There were screams!

Lots of screams

TFTC

Lo tengo 1030hrs

Not hard to find with the clue's help. Our biggest test was getting the log out of the container, we had left the LET back in the car. But eventually will prevailed.

Coords were excellent and log still has lots of space.

TNLN of course
TFTC

Can't find it

Nice quick find. Almost got bitten. TFTC.

TFTC best camo so far

Team oooss feat millsy lil ash and jessie. very clever

Another part of the series. Muggles were around a lot which made it more difficult.

Thought it was about time we came and did this series, starting at #1. Almost the end of school hols so there's a few muggles about.
Good coords and quick find again. All seems in order. Thanks Yella Belly

We headed over here after work with what daylight we had left to grab some of this series.

Another relatively quick find tonight, plenty of cars driving past but none to worry us. TFTC

TFTC however the silicone has come off the camo. I found the geocache and it is separate from camo.

Total Caches Found 5915

Threw the trusty Geo Cycle in the Geo truck and headed North up the thin black line fairly late this morning to try my luck around and Newcastle and Stockton districts. Found on the ground in the open replaced one metre from the ground

Thanks for the great cache Yella Belly

TFTC!! GPS had us going around & around, so we decided to head on in. Took us quite a while to spot this one! Great camo! Loved it =) My fav in the series so far. Gave up after this one due to the rain. Headed out for lunch instead. Will come back soon to finish it off =)

Tftc. Great cache. Very scary.

Published

Woohoo. Dropping a friend at airport and these came up. TFTC teamed up with chippyroo and cleaned a few up.

Reperio at 1410. *FTF*

I was out shopping for a life jacket in Warner's Bay when this series came online...so decided the life jacket could wait...and I headed over to Stockton. Managed to pull up quite close to GZ, and fortunately I picked the right spot to search, and the cache was soon spotted. Luckily this little guy is only made of rubber!

Gratias Yella Belly.
