STOCKTON BIKE / WALK TRACK # 13 Stockton, New South Wales, Australia
By Yella Belly on 21-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DDKE

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

Found at 3:56 PM GAFF5 in the company of Team Nurse Hayley.
In town for a short while and we decided to do a few caches with the caravan on [:X] Thought that we could quickly do the whole series as they are nearly all rated just 1.5/1.5, but straight away we realised that they are a bit more tricky than that and that we would be pushing it to finish the whole series in an hour.
After a few moments and with Hayley going into the bush a bit further than I thought was necessary, the well camouflaged cache was found.
Thanks Yella Belly.
Feedback: I would give this cache a rating of 2.0/2.0

Found in the company of pprass.

Thought we would do a few caches around Newcastle so why not start with this series- so first cache we started was at 13 - a quick stroll down the road- I wasn't wasting anytime- into the bush I go found the cache and great camo, well hidden.

Didn't find it hard for me and dad

Done 13

Found eventually. Top effort. TFTC.

I love a cache made with effort. Great camouflage. Was a quick find TFTC

Good camo.TFTC

Thorough look, could'nt find.

Good one love the camo

Great location and container. Could not get the lid off though. TFTC.

The whole family came out caching this afternoon, despite threatening rain - ended up a great afternoon, with the weather just keeping the muggles away....

Good one - needed the hint! TFTC

TFTC

Have replaced container so ready to go.
Good luck Yella Belly

After doing a check today , couldn't find this one so will disable until I can replace it.

Hmm no luck with this one

Battery powered

This one is cute

Ftfc very cool

Very creative

9873 + 1121 = 10994. 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. Last one of the series for me. Quick find at GZ. Nicely set up. Signed, returned, and I was off to the next cache.

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.

I rode the Stockton path today and found all but 2 of the caches. Not the premium ones tho so i didnt have all the letters/numbers. But thought i would have a look for this one and after a LOT of searching haha there it was. Well thought out and concealed. So easy to see but so hard to find. Well done and Tftc

very clever, and unique

Found with tassie expat while up from Phillip Island. Thanks for placing all of these caches. Quick find.

Last one...phew. All this driving is making me tired. Great hide. frmen1 had the eagle eyes. TFTC

Found on a geocaching morning with my son and Orrsome86. First we parked near Stockton Bike Track #12 and walked past it to number thirteen. Seeing as we were so close to the bridge steps we went the little bit further to Top View, which was scary with the cars so close, it would also have been a much shorter walk if we had come in from the other side. Then we got to walk all the way back again and find number twelve. Then a quick find at number eleven before driving and parking between number nine and ten. Again we could not find number nine, but we got all the numbers we needed in number ten. After another short drive we arrived, enjoyed the walk, though Orrsome took the hard way. The final cache was all but buried and will get a favorite representing the great series.
Thanks for the great walk, cache and series!

Fantastic camo. This has to be one of my favorites so far. Last one for the day with the Geo kid. TFTC

TOMBI his little one and i headed out to finish the STOCKTON BIKE / WALK TRACK series. We parked between number 11 and 12. We walked north all the way to 13 and then decided to tackle the one on top of Stockton Bridge. Then back south collecting the required information for the final. managed to find all except one that we set out to find. Found this one quickly and really liked the camo. TFTC

found it today on the way to work very good job on the camo. one day i will actually finish this series. lol maybe bit by bit before work. TFTC Yella Belly

Really liked the camo. TFTC

Did a cache check today and all fine.

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

Cute little hide thanks.

Tftc
Great camo

Found with Liippy, an Kyumi TFTC

Very tricky

Awesome

Very clever, never seen one like this before.

Enjoyed on your series at Stockton town for a day with geomum...
Wow awesome cache, love it, sign in as no trouble... Thanks

Cool camo

Went for a drive to have a look around, and grabbed a few caches in the area.
Cache found in the obvious spot - good camo.
Many thanks for placing this cache, Yella Belly, for us and others to find.

I had not read Gruffff s log and as I approached I thought maybe it is not here anymore because it is blown over. However the clever cammoed cache was where the gpsr pointed. TFTC. Found at 7pm.

Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 52.997 E 151° 47.589

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 53.003 E 151° 47.584

Distance from original: 44.5 feet or 13.6 meters.
Owing to recent storms its place of lodgement has been removed so have placed it in a different place.
Maybe a little easier to find.

During the storm and the wind...... The part that's holding the cache up has been blown down!

It took ages to locate this cleverly concealed cache, you could say I was dieing to find it. A FP from me.

Very sneaky

Found this one hanging around. I spend the day in Stockton with Team Tonka and did a few caches while catching up.

Found. took me a while even when I thought I knew what it was. TFTC Yella Belly.

Sorry about that. I'm blaming the technolgy - couldn't be my fault!

Beautiful job on the camo - it took me a minute to find it despite being at GZ. TFTC

Quick find. Excellent camo. TFTC

Found this and keep trying to log it. Here goes another try!

A hint of what u are looking for would of been helpful 2nd dnf in a row at stockton

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

Took about 5 minutes & the keen eyes spotted it! Nice camo! Thanks for giving us another view of the bridge. SL TFTC

Following the super highway, and a quick look revealed the cache. Nice cammo. TNLNSL TFTC

We stopped here on the way to the bridge climb and took a while to spot the container. Unfortunately it was exactly the same type of cache MrsFish has been urging me to construct and I have several ready at home. Thanks for a great hide.

I feel it might be missing

Very sneaky. TFTC

Enjoyed wander and scene with very warm weather... Signed the log, thanks Yella Belly.

Great camo thanks. Quickfind tftc 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.

Thanks for placing this cache Yella Belly

TFTC

Team oooss feat millsy lil ash and jessie. We have really enjoyed this series! The caches are awesome TFTF yellabelly

Nice fun find. TFTC

TFTC what an awesome camo

Another part of the series. Brilliant bit of camo. Went up the bridge after to do one more.

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.
On spotting GZ we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for and so it turned out to be. Thanks Yella Belly.
Now for the final.

TFTC. Nice camo. Needed Geowifes help

TFTC

Total Caches Found 5911

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.
Nice camouflage

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away

Thanks for the great cache Yella Belly

Was out for a quick drive so I stopped to do this one nice camouflage like this one TFTC

Published

Reperio at 1450.

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. Having worked my way through the series from #2, this was the last of the traditional caches for me today...and after a few minutes of searching...the cache finally revealed itself. Another nicely hidden cache.

Gratias Yella Belly.

#4027

**FTF** joint with Garbageman

I spent 10 minutes looking for this one and couldn't locate it, so I decided to give some of the others a go. I went to #12 and saw a suspicious character walking away. Once that was found, I high-tailed it back and made the find with-in seconds had it in my hands. Why couldn't I have done that the first time.

TFTC Yella Belly

Yella Belly gave me the heads-up about this series a few days ago and told me to get the Geobike ready. When the first notification came through at 12:55 I was about to rush overseas when I remembered I had stitch removal at 1:30 but thought I may still make it in time for some FTF's so I phoned Yella Belly that they were being published and he said he would join me to check that they were all findable, met him at No. 1 and there was a blank sheet! Last blank sheet for the series, MV, Chippyroo, the garbageman and jadenflair took care of that!

Had a bit of trouble with this one and had to rely on some guidance from CO.

We had a good ride around the circuit, ran into Team-Tonka and Chippyroo who gave us a lift back to the start, all in all a fun series (albeit with a mongrel twist in the middle), thanks for the caches and company Yella Belly!

Woohoo. Dropping a friend at airport and these came up. TFTC joint find with chippyroo
