West Pymble Cache Tour #3 Pymble, New South Wales, Australia
By Wakko Akos on 28-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5DTKY

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache within 7 days, just contact a reviewer (by email), and assuming it still meets the current

guidelines, the reviewer will be happy to unarchive it.

Should you replace the cache after 7 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Time to archive?

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am 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 28 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 page and post a note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

Didn't bother even looking for this one. Can it be checked out? Please?

With a string of recent DNF's by experienced cachers, could the Cache Owner please check on the cache is ensure it is still in play? This is definitely one I want to find, so please don't let it go Wakko Akos. Thanks.

Parked out the front with neighbour sitting on her rear verandah, took a photo of what looks like where a tree once was. Returned to the vehicle and chose the final for West Pymble and and new listing at Cherrybrook, TFTH

Might be missing in action due to severe tree pruning from Council, I presume.
Couldn't have a good look due to neighbour working next to GZ

We couldn't find this one. We knew it was tricky after reading recent logs. It was made more difficult by the tree lopping debris left right near the search area...we think?

No luck. We'll try again one day.

Did not find with Jase90 this morning, our search was cut short with the neighbour pottering around their backyard. I will return!

Our main reason for being here today, no luck, very wet in the tree in the rain. Someone pulled up behind the car and just sat there for a few minutes, then drove away.

So much camouflage in this damn tree...

Too hard for me...

2 extensive searches no luck

Reperio at 1245.

I was headed to Sydney today, and with a little time spare to find a few caches, I stopped by here to try and find this one. I soon worked out the most likely spot for the cache, but initially had trouble trying to prove that by scouring the area and coming up empty. Like others have previously mentioned, it certainly is an awkward spot to be in if someone were to see you overlooking the nearby neighbours property, but fortunately there didn't seem to be anyone around today. After a solid 20-30 mins of searching, I was thinking that I may have to move on without a smiley here, but with that, I just happened to catch sight of the tiniest edge of the container. Phew! Whilst the cache is a simple hide, it's deceptively hard to spot unless you're looking right at it. Thanks for the hunt.

Gratias Wakko Akos.

After finding #1 and #2 in the series I decided to try complete the series. I parked nearby, and walked up to a familiar area. Hmmm. I reviewed the situation, read previous logs, and tried to deduce likely spots. I then spotted a neighbour muggle painting his pergola. I am not sure if he was too focused to spot me, even though his view was good if he did look my way, but I decided I was too uncomfortable to stick around, so decided to abandon the search. I'll be back.

How funny the way things turn out.... I was on the great trek home from Melbourne to Brisbane. Stopping here and there as you do. I had no particular list of caches to find, just noted ones that I'd like to find. Having three crazy munchkins in the back of Spangle didn't really give me an opportunity to make detours for the extra special caches I would like to find. So mostly if I saw one, we drove past it just to keep the harmony of getting home......

This cache however, was one I looked at as we were on our way past Sydney, but the detour seemed too much out of the way. Somehow though, miraculously, without even planning it we missed a turn somewhere Hmmm, the next get off point puts us right driving past Pymble Well now, that changes things just a bit.... If we are here, we may as well stop and stretch the legs

The planets had aligned and we soon found ourselves at GZ. Woohoo!!! The only thought I had left was 'oh my dear faeries.... I hope I can master this one!!!'

With a bit of a nudge from dabom81 I was soon in a better position to hunt about. And hunt I did! For quite a length of time. For just about enough time for the munchkins to start telling me that they had stretched their legs quite enough and were happy to move on. Oh noes The pressure was on then, with munchkins ready to cause mutiny I had to give it a better go! I read through the logs and hint again and then something struck me..... I knew where I didn't need to be And then all of a sudden.... Da da dadah!!!! There was the cache Now while I don't recommend doing a happy cacher dance where I was, that is exactly what I did After signing the log I made sure to replace the cache just as it had been found.

Thanks for the cache and the challenge Wakko Akos

I spent almost an hour at GZ. No luck. I looked up until my neck hurt. I took the advice of the hint, several times. I climbed up and looked from various angles. I can't help feeling that somewhere along the line I must have looked at the cache, but not recognised it for what it was. Having found #2 in the series, I had ideas about getting the rest of the set this afternoon, but this took up all my time and instead I jumped on the 560 to Gordon Station. I really wanted to get a difficulty 4.5 slash terrain 3.0 as they are pretty rare where I come from.

This one was too good for me Wakko Akos.

Dound this one months ago.. Mustve forgotten to log it. Oops. Tftc

Emboldened by the recent find, I came back to have another go at this one. Of course, I sent a sneaky SMS to EDF to ask if the cache's movement should have affected its terrain rating, and he replied (in different words) that the T rating was OK.

In the end it still took me a little while, as there are lots of sneaky spots around!

An evening trip had to be made to collect a geoson, there were plenty of caches on the way so I left early to grab as many as the time allowed.

This one had a very interesting DT rating, so I was keen to find it and not confident when I saw that a lot of previous finders had asked for help. I pondered the clue but it didn't help me find the cache. The T rating helped and a couple of comments in the logs, but it was quite tricky none the less.

Thanks for the challenge, and TFTC Wakko Akos

Had a very long look at lots of altitudes with no luck. A paf told me that I had included where it used to be. If it has moved, is the terrain still correct? Hard to match up with the hint

Made this one easier

Some people don't replace the camo I guess... Cache restored

A quick climb and find. As per the previous logger, there is no camo. TFTC!

A quick find once i was in the right spot. Tftc.

With the help of a friend I had this found and replaced. But, I did not see any camo to replace!?! Might pay to check.

TFTC.

No luck here either.
Recognised the site from the previous cache but this time I think its out of my reach as I'm rather vertically challenged and that means your arms are shorter too.
If some tall cacher is doing this one let me know and I'll come too.

We arrived to a familiar site and given the T rating we suspected something so up although there was no attribute to confirm or deny. Having recently done a number of these types before we over shot the mark and had to go for a PAF (and a visit) to get us into the right spot to eventually make the find of the well concealed container. We completed the signing duties and return only to have the phone ring for the third time wondering where we were so will have to leave the tour and re join at some time again. TFTC

3/10/14. 3:01 PM. Cache #1899. Streak day #103. Continuing this series on bike from #2. I've already logged my rant (on #1) about 4 new caches popping up under 1.5 km from home while I'm 45km to the north, so I'll avoid repeating it on the other logs.

I arrived at the search area, the familiar site of Wakko's now archived cache "Yarrara Lane 2". Unlike that cache, this was not going to be a simple park & grab; at least that's not what the D/T ratings would imply. Plus I'd been given some additional intel by a PAF at the previous one.

So I got into position and searched for a while but still had no luck. Oh well, everyone else on this one has asked for CO help, I may as well join them. 5 minutes later and WA was onsite, confirming answers to my questions about this one. Turns out, when I'd been in position before I must have been very close - I'd say my hand must have been centimeters from the cache - but it was well tucked away. With a little extra help I got the sneaky blighter and my final clue. And scored a new D/T combo to boot! A brief geochat with WA and then back on the bike to head to #4. TFTC }:)

I spent a few minutes getting my knees and arms dirty but I couldn't find it. I couldn't find number 2 in the series so my enthusiasm wasn't very high for this one and I didn't spend too much time here. I might come back for a look once I find number 2.

Published

A tree climb on a back fence for a micro. Not really sure what else to say. After 30 mins giving up.

Found it with some assistance from cache owner TFTC

I dropped by here before heading to #1 as this looked tricky going by the D/T rating. After no luck at #2 where I caught up with alfyboy we headed here and searched for quite a while. There was a resident on the verandah of the house but she never noticed us. Was at the point of moving on when the CO arrived (we forgot it was school hols). He gave some advice and alfyboy was in the best position (work clothes and all) to work his way to the find. Plucked it out and dropped it to me where I did the signing as joint *FTF*. Then headed back to #2 with the new coords.

Thanks!

Met up with Yurt at #2, but something was amiss. So we decided to head to 3 and try. From the T&D, I assumed position, but was unable to locate the cache, while Yurt searched from below. Then WA came along and told us we were in the right place. I went back and searched and then found the bugger. I took down the clue and Yurt SL. We replaced again and thanked the CO for guiding us. TFTC.

Well the Hippie and I had no such assistance and no such luck. I'll be back another time!
