...

Happened to be in this part of town this afternoon and thought I had just enough time to try this. Think I got a wrong number at WP1 but after collecting the others I was able to adjust it to a more suitable one and set off for what looked like a promising GZ.
A couple of possible options none of which revealed the cache. Might be cache blind, might not have massaged the numbers correctly or it might be missing. Either way it was a DNF for me.

What a great afternoon for a treasure hunt with the kids! Nice and close to home, the kids were excited to solve the clues. Nice walk, quiet street, great company, all round a great afternoon!

I collected the clues for this one a while ago and today we were in the right place at the right time to collect the final. A quick find here today. Thanks Jump Pilot

This was a very nice and pleasant multi... favourite point form me.

My best friend from College used to live on this street, he was new in town and he used to say that 'as long as I know the way to 'GreyHams' place... he will know the rest'.

I also used to deliver pizzas in the Calwell area for many years while I was at College/Uni, so coming back today has triggered some very good memories.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache

Calwell - the next suburb on my list for the Canberra Mapping Challenge which I have finally decided to smash out once and for all.

I chose this cache as it was a multi-cache, and unlike some people I quite enjoy multi-caches! Much more than trads anyway! The shorter ones are ideal however as I usually don't have all day!

This one was perfect, a nice short multi with easy waypoints and a quick final, just what I like!

Surprising that I am the first finder this whole year given how quick it was too!

I liked the variety of waypoints too, instead of just using the same object every time you mixed it up.

TFTC Jump Pilot!

today we wanted to try and do multicaches close to home
a lot of fun in the sun with pete lots of walking and driving
we found a few multicaches which was really fun
hopefully i will hide some soon
thanks

Well that walk certainly got the body moving. Had to use my phone GPS to get to each WP. It doesn't tell you which direction and distance to go so i had to work it out thinking about which way is more South and which way is less East. Challenged myself and got it first time. Not too long but good to see the way the locals live while visiting the CO from Victoria. Great start to the day for heaps of finds hopefully on foot. FP from me.

A nice simple multi. No trouble getting the clues and then straight to GZ. TFTC

Thank you for the cache. A nice puzzle to solve while out for an evening walk. Signed Cbr.

Had a bit of time up my sleeve after work, so decided to drive south. Gathered the data and soon made the find. TFTC Jump Pilot

Accompanied with ALL7 , I and my wife decide to do this cache together, arrive at the start and park our cars and took a stroll to wp1 2 and 3 as well GZ, it was a lovely afternoon. TFTC Jump Pilot

Accompanied with dragon1986 andhis Goe wife nice walk, and no problems with this multicache... Thanks

I had some time before dinner, and this multi didn't require a hill climb.

After reading the logs I was ready for it to be tricky, but I had no problems finding any of the way points.

Thanks for the multi.

{121} My fifth multi of the day. I had lined this one up as it was on the way back from Namadgi and because Metal it Up, another multi, was nearby. I wanted to find six multis in a day to meet a challenge. TikvaNZ and I completed this one without any issues. We drove part of the way and walked the other part. Unfortunately the other multi nearby had been bulldozed so I had to find another one. All good in the end.

Interesting fusion of two street names. McCarter. Could be someone's surname, or the name of the latest burger at a certain fast-food establishment?

XN SL. Thanks Jump Pilot!

#6487 @1220
After heading south to do the Trail of the Damned, ZQX and I attempted a couple of multis in this area to bring the total up to 6 for he day (towards a challenge cache). We drove the wps and walked to the final. All good. TFTC.

Today's another zero in my days of the year caching calendar. Well, it was - it's about to be a "1". I'm sick today, but at work by necessity - theirs, not mine. Lunchtime. Tired. Need a break. A nice short multi is just the thing. So I parked at WP1, and WP2 and WP3. Didn't feel like walking. For GZ, I have to walk. It's nice in the sun, even if I am shrouded in my anti-cancer clobber. Easy find, thanks Jump Pilot. I'm now down to a month worth of zeros in my calendar - 30 to go. The remaining zeros are scattered between here and most of the way through July. Looking forward to that last zero being removed.

TFTC - WP1 a little inaccurate but still got there

Today was the final day of the holidays and I still hadn't quite made it to my goal of having less than 1000 ACT caches to find. I checked the map again and once again, there was enough in Tuggeranong for me to knock off my goal. I plotted a bit of a route starting in Bonython and ending in Calwell and had enough caches to make it. Even though I had promised a day or two earlier that that was the last caching trip, I still wanted to go out and find these ones. Luckily, my parents agreed but I had to do it quickly to be back before my driving lesson.

The first cache of the day was Elementary my dear Mendeleev which I wanted to collect before being dropped off. I had solved the puzzle when it came out but had not found the cache. I decided to change this today. We parked close by and I jumped out hoping for a quick find but it took much longer than expected to come up with the goods. After that, my dad dropped me off near A Profusion of Parrots and I headed off on my bike. A Profusion of Parrots also took quite a while to find but I eventually came up with the goods.

After that, I found the caches fairly easily until I got to Tuggeranong Stone Wall which also took quite a while to find. I checked up and down the wall and it wasn't until I was about to give up that I noticed the cache. After that, I collected Insert Clever Pun Here and Remember the days .... (with the help of a previous finder) before heading onto Tuggeranong Hill. Tuggeranong Hill was just as unfriendly as I remembered from my previous trip here and it wasn't easy going up some of the hills. I really enjoyed Padlocked! though.

I finished my ride on Tuggeranong Hill at Geokid Marble Exchange and then headed down to Harry the Ranga and onto Pink Grapefruit, Rainbow Way and Under Pressure. After that, I headed off to do McCarter and then find the GZ of Metal It Up, as I had done the waypoints a while ago and DNFd GZ. After that, it was smooth sailing to Gnome Alone and then finishing with some of the "It Up" series I hadn't gotten to last time. I met my dad at Calwell shops and we headed off to do Chris's HEAD CACHE, after getting something to drink, to bring up my 2800 find!

Thank you to all the COs who hid caches and apologies for the generic logs!

#908. 38 days in a row.

Since I'd agreed to go to someone's place in the evening, I wanted quick finds in the vicinity of their place. This was one of the three I found.

I was able to gather the data fairly easily (although WP1 seems to have A65A instead of the A35A listed), performed the calculations and made a quick find at GZ. I'd actually decided to just park near WP3 instead of moving my car, since it wasn't exactly a long distance between the lot of them.

cheers. Second time lucky I needed to come back mugglers and puggles about washing cars and cut the grass.

All the waypoints worked out well and it was an easy find. TFTC Jump Pilot.

A nice walk, and no problems with this multicache. TFTC Jump Pilot.

Checked cache GZ, log, hidey-hole. All good to go.

Found at 1140 (though I think I put 1130 in the log - whoops!). I've done quite a few caches over the past two days that have used the same style of waypoints, so the information was quickly collected and the cache found. There was a cache guardian lying in wait which fled once the camo was removed, and once the log was signed I tucked everything away again. Thanks for the cache Jump Pilot.

En route back to the car I walked past the severed head of a fox - not looking so Fantastic now, Mr Fox! - something to be aware of if you're heading this way with geocachelettes.

Yey finally nabbed this one, its been buggin me :p tftc!

9268 + 1046 = 10314. A quick Multi find after work today.

I parked nearby and gathered the required info from the various WPs. Moving the car as suggested I then hoofed it over to my calculated GZ to make a quick find of the cache - happy to tick this one off !

Thanks Jump Pilot !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Nice easy little multi to bring up 250 finds Thanks very much for the cache.

We had to head south again tonight to drop keys off, we saw this one nearby and decided it would be our daily find. Saw what was required, gathered information and made a quick find at GZ.

TFTC Jump Pilot

No problems at WP1 and having studied the listing before I wasn't confused. Three different urban set of numbers collected and I was away to where I had predicted GZ would be anyway.

Thanks for the next little multi Jump Pilot.

Only had time for a quick and easy stroll today, buch to the geo-hounds dislike. That said he is passed out cold at my feet none-the-less.... mind you... he's a spaniel, so what do you expect.

We arrived at the first waypoint only to realise that being a qualified accountant was insufficient math-skills for what I needed to do, and what I really needed was a Roadie... one-two, one-two, two, two...TWO. I mention this because it turns out I failed to tell the difference between the number one and the number two. By the time I was at two of course I realised that I really needed to go back to one. Mind you, as the distance between one and two is so gargantuan this wasn't really problematic. The madly barking dogs at waypoint 3 were slightly problematic, but only to anyone close-by that may have been trying to sleep or meditate.

Shortly thereafter the cache was located and a less-barky route home was considered. All in all and pleasant stroll. TFTC.

Well - like some others, I made a meal of this! Thought I could beat the system, and went to WP3 first... Thought I licked it - but no - more waypoints needed After that, an easy find. Like the container insert! Thanks JP!

A quick stroll and Gumby Maca and I had the cache in hand. TFTC.

[Green]Back in Canberra after knocking off a few caches in Tassie, and why not kick start 2015 with a nearby multi? We parked adjacent to WP1 and with a short stroll all the digits were soon collected and GZ duly updated. Off we traipsed, and without any issues a very tidy cache was soon in hand. Log signed and cache replaced, the short hike back to the car gave us a chance to discuss how few multis we've done, and that really we can address that [^] [blue]Thanks for the cache Jump Pilot

Tried again today and made the find at WP3 without issue. Calculated GZ and headed off to find the cache, also without issue.

Now at home and I see someone has found it today as well.

Thanks Jump Pilot, all wells that ends well......

After taking advice from others more experienced than me I must advise THERE IS NO NEED TO GO TO THE CACHE COORDINATES TO BEGIN. GO STRAIGHT TO WAYPOINT 1 TO BEGIN THIS CACHE. The cache coordinates are to symbolise the intersection of the 2 streets that this Cache is named after. I have now realised this is not the correct way to start a multi-cache - but it's a learning experience. Apologies for any confusion caused. I know for next time.
P.S. I re-visted the cache waypoints today and took additional coordinate readings. All verified.

Having been taught years ago that multi's are to start the posted co-ords, I headed off there.....only to find nothing....and that WP1 was actually a little further away. Drove around there but still found nothing. Thought I could do without that one anyway, so headed off for WP2 and found the numbers there without any issues. Then to WP3, but alas my GPS wanted to me walk over someone's garden, which I declined to do, so found nothing there that matched the required number sequence......

Decided that as it was Christmas and now after 5.00pm, I'd just go home and have a drink........

Thanks Jump Pilot, too good for me today....but no doubt I'll be back.

Up early to complete the currently active ACT 2000 and ACT 1000 club series of caches (and a couple of others along the way). A perfect morning to attack these after the overnight rain and overcast skies to keeps things cool. I had trouble finding WP1 but was able to find the others and was able to extrapolate answer. Thanks Jump Pilot

3731. I was sitting at home when the phone started alerting me of these new caches. I initially ignored it, but it got the better of me, so I headed to this one. All Wps were gathered without any dramas and I was soon heading to GZ. Now assuming that Jackson Lightning is not going to claim the *FTF*, I was happy to sign the "semi" blank log book at 1205 hrs. A nice little multi.
Thanks Jump Pilot for the cache.

Not going to deny it, when there's a cache released 4 streets away, the logical thing to do is drop everything and run/drive as fast as legally possible.

Plenty of numbers at wp1. But none in the right order. Went to wp2. No numbers at all.

No ftf for me. No hunt till someone else finds it

*STF* @ 1331

Needed my daily cache and noticed the new publications. I seen that the Multi and the Puzzle had yet been claimed so I decided to head south and have a crack at the multi.

Located the waypoints easy enough and soon had a set of coordinates to wander over to. On arrival, I identified the obvious location for the cache and sure enough cache was soon in hand. Opened the log to find the tester was attempting to claim the FTF however the official FTF went to Boot65 about a hour before my arrival.

Log signed claiming the second to find at 1331.

Thanks for the little multi Jump Pilot Daily cache completed.
