UQ-Herston Campus Herston, Queensland, Australia
By Zacgyver on 06-Aug-15. Waypoint GC60ZN7

Could the CO please check on this one. 12 Months since last find, with experienced cachers before us logging a DNF

With the co-ords obtained from last visit, it was time to search for this one. With the offset applied we were off. Started high with no luck and headed down to the platform. No luck there either.

This one beat me today after spending far too long looking! No U for February today!

Did the waypoints, got a promising final gz, which matches the hint, but after 30 minutes of searching the whole length, we only found a mark where a mint tin may have been. Messaged the co to see if that's the spot, but no response so far.

While out for a ride on the bike today I did a tour around this area of the hospital where I was able to complete this multi. All the info was easy to find and some of the spots visited were fascinating. With the numbers calculated for the final I made my way down to it. Today being a public holiday there wasnt much traffic around and I was easily able to conduct a short search for the container and sign the log.All was good with it.TFTC

Enjoyed the walk on a very quiet Sunday afternoon. A nicely crafted multi, thanks! This gives me a ‘U’ for my August challenge.

Thank you, Zacgyver, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

attending at apointment nearby and realised i don't have the final numbers
very busy but was no issues getting the info ready for the next visit

tb visit

Another go at this cache as every time I visited the nearby S.T.A.R.S. hospital I would have a look but came up empty handed. Today was a close park, short walk and arrived near GZ and immediately saw the cache, I really don't know how I missed it before. Log signed before replacing as found. TFTC

Out to day with RoddyC and imbunda.

TFTCache Zacgyver

A visit to a friend's place with a short? diversion to grab this cache.

Nice to get a Multi after being out west where there are none.

Log signed and cache replaced as found at 3:01 PM on June 17, 2023. TFTC, Zacgyver

Zacgyver I found your cache UQ-Herston Campus on 7/6/2023, 4:30 pm. This is my find 5555 and find # 10 today. Gathered all the required information. Was a little bit confused about the bold letters but eventually worked it out. Calculated the final coordinates and applied the offset. Arrived at GZ and found the cache after a brief search. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN

Really enjoyed that. It’s nice to do a gather your own gz multi every now and again especially when so many things can go wrong. Our first calc had the cache back near our home. Found it quickly in the end coords were spot on. Tftc

We decided to jump on the bikes today and rode from Albion to Kelvin Grove with detours here, there and everywhere collecting caches. We have attempted this cache once before but couldn’t find a park within miles so left it for another day. Today was that day and we rode from waypoint to waypoint collecting the information and learning some history. Cache was found by The Marble a little further along than I was searching. Thanks Zacgyver

It’s been almost two years since I worked my way around this multi…

After collecting all the required info, I promptly forgot about the cache as my plotted final, with or without offsets was over in Downey Park…

Seeing it had been found recently, I reached out to a previous finder to confirm my numbers… I got told they were “close enough”…

Not quite… appears I can’t count Bold letters… and that’s a fairly import number…

I of course did not find the container in Downey Park…

Tftc…

Exactly 12months to the day since the last find, determined to locate this one . Took a little while but did find it. Photo taken of signed log. TFTC

Was in the area to complete two ALs, so being a quiet Saturday morning decided to do this one too. Found the information easily, included the offsets and headed to gz. Felt in a couple of obvious spots, then expanded my search and there it was about 6m out by my iPhone. Thanks for showing me this area. And tftc.

A pleasant walk around on a sunday afternoon to get the information. Offset added but a failure at the last post. No cache found.

An outing today to try to rectify some DNF’s. Happy to say I had success here. Added some new paper as the old log is not in good condition TFTC

Today, I needed a multi-cache for today's calendar day, and so I decided to make a stop here whilst riding my bike home from work. Most days I did ride past here, and so I didn't realise that a great building only lied just outside view from this main road. I also found the history of Herston Farm interesting, and I was even considering to integrate this signboard myself with a future geocache, only to have now discovered it already attached to this multi-cache.

I didn't have too many issues gathering the answers to the questions, and then once I performed the final substitution and offset, I rode to GZ nearby. It did take a bit of time searching around, and I even thought I had exhausted the usual hiding spots to send a message out for assistance, but as soon as I did that, I found the cache in one of the last spots to check. The cache looks like it has come away from its attachment mechanism, and it had fallen on the ground. Otherwise, the cache container was in good shape, but the current logbook could use some TLC, as the current post-it note pad looks to be quite scrappy and a little water damaged. Thanks Zacgyver for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

After finally having the correct coordinates due to a sign having a mind of its own & changing without consultation with the CO I returned to hopefully get my smilie. Unfortunately it was not to be

It turns out the sign required for question C has changed slightly and now there are two bold headings. Together they make the old heading. I will post the original photo here so people don't keep getting confused.

I came here yesterday while enjoying an AL and collected the information for the multi. Seems I made the same error as a couple of previous finders and ended up in the wrong spot. A PAF to a previous finder this morning put me on the right track. Now I have a gz to work with.
I stopped here on the way home tonight and made my way to gz, after checking a few spots I soon had the cache in hand. The log was quite damp but able to be signed. With the forecasted warm days ahead it will dry quickly.
After signing the log, the cache was replaced as found.
Thanks for a fun multi and the cache Zacgyver.

What a big day started with Takai ki ni I pickup a few more caches. The count was 22 caches. A break down is
5 Trads, multi, 14 mystery, 1 CITO(which everyone hand fun planting trees)and a Locationless cache.
So much fun.
I meet up with Nayfee and Chamad for some FTF’s. We found 7 FTF.
Drop back at the vehicle and headed home.
Sorry for the generic log.
Zacgyver *TFTC*. 4854 *finds*

Found this one a a group effort after completing the nearby tree climb.

Thanks for the nice Multi.

Georode

A detour into the city with a group of geo friends, a quick tree climb and whilst in the area this multi was too close to not do as we still had plenty of time up our sleeves before we had to be at the CITO Event.
Nice easy multi, very enjoyable and well done CO.

Found February 28, 2021

Yay! Glad to have my name in the log.

Thanks for the cache and taking us here Zacgyver. Enjoyed the adventure.

Hooray! Finally I can claim a smilie for this cache After a couple of false starts and conversations with the CO I had the right gz (correct maths always helps ) and after another visit to the hospital nearby today I made the walk again - to correct gz this time- to make a find. I hunted around between muggles with not much luck, so in frustration sent out a PAF. I moved along a little and there it was...finally [:D} Thankyou to the lovely CO for your patience and assistance; I can stop annoying you now!

Hooray happy for this challenge monthly

Oh this was pretty cool! I enjoyed my wander around campus, even if much of it was restricted access because of construction. It didn't interfere with the ability to solve the cache and find the final .

Fun story - I did my Grade 11 work experience in the anatomy department of UQ, which included a visit to this campus to learn about plastination. According to the source of all truth, wiki, "Plastination is a technique or process used in anatomy to preserve bodies or body parts, first developed by Gunther von Hagens in 1977. The water and fat are replaced by certain plastics, yielding specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay, and even retain most properties of the original sample." And that's exactly what I did.

Despite successfully calculating the final, I found the coords slightly off (but that has been happening to me all day, so it's probably my phone) and a PAF set me straight. Well, not straight, but on path :p.

TFTC and wahoo, now I can spell JUNE.

After touring the facilities and gathering info, a DNF last time was followed by a muggled-out UTL (unable to look) visit the second try. Today I returned to find the obvious container just a few metres from where I last looked, don't you hate that

Glad to turn this frown upside down.

Thanks for giving us a reason to visit here **Zacgyver**. This log is trackable, mention where you saw it.

Out to grab a few caches this warm and sunny arvo.
Plenty of free parking this Sunday, did a drive-by for some of the WP's
Final collected and that was a very reasonable walk too.


Thank you for this cache

We were out this way again, and had kept the information from our last visit. For some reason we just could not see it last time and now we ask ourselves how on earth did we miss that? We have been searching in exactly the right spot but somehow it had alluded us on that occasion. Today we re-checked our numbers and they all looked good. We soon had the container in our hands.
A nice multi with lovely buildings and history at some of the waypoints.
Thanks Zacgyver
Domsky 

Out of the gates early and inbound to the airport for another work trip, I decided to divert of the ICB to finally grab this one. I did the early work almost 18 months ago, but let the icon sit until I needed to grab a Brissy cache. [^]

Plenty of activity at the original GZ, but quiet enough at the offset location so I scanned the area and soon spotted the container. Out with the log, my name was added and the cache swiftly returned. All done, I continued on my journey and hit the skies south.

Cheers Zacgyver.

I needed a "U" for January so decided this would be it. Headed offend was soon parked. Off to the waypoints and collected the required numbers. Misread "C" and therefore co-ords were out. I ended up at the rear of a day care centre and was asked/told to go away. Contacted previous finders who advised that I had "C" incorrect. Back to the waypoint. Aha, read the instruction properly. Then off to what I hoped would be an easy find. Then cache blindness set in. Further contact with previous finders was extremely helpful and I soon had the beast in my hand. Thanks to the CO for bringing me to this one. Thanks also to patience of previous finders with their help. TFTC

Check and recheck numbers.
First attempt was 500 mtrs away. Recalculated and a what if and presto cache in hand and a good feeling all round

Out and about today with Chamad hunting down some caches to finish off January.

We started by the RBWH and made our way all over the place.

All in all, a great day hunting.

Plenty of time between finds here, so that’s a good amount to go towards our unloved.

Find #522 - TFTC

I needed a 'U' cache for the August challenge. This is a lovely walk with some interesting information. TFTC

Checked on the cache as I was passing by today. Cache is safe and in the correct place waiting to be found.

We loved our walk in this area around UQ today and think we answered the questions correctly. We then applied the various offsets to correct the current coordinates. Despite a good look, no luck for us here today so we will log a DNF.
Thanks
Domsky

Having climbed a certain very tall tree not far from here, my head was still spinning amd adrenalin pumping. Not wanting to head home straight away and fess up to the wife where I had been and what I had been doing, I figured I would wander around the Herston campus and collect this poor unloved cache.

Nice and quiet in these parts at Sunday lunchtime. I had no trouble wanderin around collecting clues. My calculated coordinates, with the offset applied, look good and soon enough I had the container in hand.

Strange to find a suburban cache like this being unloved. Not certain why cachers avoid multi's. i usually find them very interesting - as I did here. Many thanks Zacgyver.

I happened to be passing here today and noticed that GZ is now a construction site

Just to clarify the previous note, the old GZ is currently a construction site, but the new GZ is not. There is an offset for a replacement cache provided in the cache description.

After some morning adventures at Glasshouse, 1Minniemoo and I stopped off for coffee and planned what to do with the rest of the day.
I mentioned needing a U for the July challenge so we both looked at maps and tried to find a suitable cache. No luck up where we were and I said this was the one I had originally planned so we decided to head down and get this one and then whatever else was nearby.
We found all the waypoints and the info we needed and then headed to look for the cache and then remembered we had to use the offset.
We couldn't find anything at the new coords which put us in a location that we didn't quite expect.
We went for a walk to the nearby hospital and then back again, on the way back I read out the questions again and we realised we had both misread a question, so we had one number wrong! That explains it! With a new set of numbers, which actually didn't move us that far anyway, we eventually located the cache! This took us way longer then it should have!!
Thanks for the cache Zacgyver

29/7/17, 12:51 pm Find #1048
With Wombles&Co and I having been on a hike up the Sunshine Coast s little this morning, we stopped for a quick coffee and to assess where we would like to go next, when Wombles&Co mentioned she still needed a "U" for July. A little looking around and some reassessing as to what would work for us, and we came up with this cache here. Yes it was a little far from where we happened to be but that didn't really matter to either of us today.
So after a bit of a drive, we pulled up at a nice and convenient parking spot not too far from where we needed to be - it was easy to get a park here today, which kind of surprised us both. Then we set about gathering our information. It was interesting to see the information about James Mayne as I had only done a cache about the Mayne family a week ago, and Wombles&Co had done a tour a while back involving this family too.
Anyway, on we went gathering our information seemingly easily until we had a pretty good set of coordinates... or so we thought.
Well we turned this into a saga! After a little searching where we thought we should find the cache, we remembered something else that had been posted in the CO's notes recently, and made some adjustments, then went searching again. Well that's not working for us either. It puts us kinda.... THERE! So we tried another approach and still came up empty, choosing to head back again to the previous search zone. Still nothing. A quick dash to the nearby hospital for a loo break before we reassessed our numbers, and after feeling quite confused, it was Wombles&Co who realised we had done SOMETHING very silly in our initial information gathering, a mistake that both of us had managed to make in our haste.
So after finally correcting that error we headed back actually not too far from where we had previously been and began our search yet again. And after a bit more looking Wombles&Co came up with the goods. Well done Wombles&Co! You earned that "U"!
Thanks for the cache Zacgyver.

What a beautiful place to do a multi at night. We didn't even know this campus existed, and Squirrellette had even gone to UQ! Thank you CO for the multicaching effort. Now time for a coke and a before setting off for the next cache

Found on big caching day with family trying to achieve our Unique D/T Challenge with 25 caches on one day. My only regret is that we were rushing so didn't have time to read all of the fascinating information boards. My sister works at this campus and we used to live very close by (I think our house is in one of the historic photos!) so we will try to get back to read the sign properly.

It was a nice easy multi, thank you for the clear answers and for repositioning the cache while works are going on nearby. We found this cache as part of a challenge ("Can You Find JUNE In June?") and really enjoyed it. On a Sunday, even the parking was no problem at all!

EDIT: GZ is currently not accessible, and it looks like it won't be accessible for a while, so a replacement cache has been placed not far away. You can apply an offset: S +.009 E -.021 to find the temporary replacement cache.

Brahms6 found this one with Wazza. Wazza provided the puzzle solving I provided the good looks and sparkling conversation. TFTC

Down visiting Brisbane to attend a two-day conference with Brahms6 at the nearby golf course reception centre.
On the first day we used our lunch break to visit the various waypoints and collect the required information. Today, after calculating a set of coordinates, we once again used our lunch break to revisit and look for the cache.
After a couple of false starts we soon had the cache located and the log signed.
Thanks for this cache. A fun multi.

5/3/17, 9:10 am Find #1797

I came here yesterday with the family but our coords were in the middle of the road and we were hot hungry.

I sent a message to the CO who replied promptly letting me know that one number was wrong. Not sure how it got that one wrong.

Today I had a leave pass so I came back and, with the right numbers, made a quick find while keeping an eye out for the security guard who was doing the rounds nearby.

TFTC Zacgyver

Tftc we had a lovely walk around this area thank you for bringing us here it is such a nice place and we learnt a lot . Found with Quesera as part of the January challenge.

Found with sharpem. Really enjoyed learning about this campus and the nice stroll around collecting information. Well put together multi and the hint hepled narrow down the find. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy.

Today I am in the city for an appointment .... and, damm it is hot.
Anyway, after the appointment I made my way over to New Farm Park as there is a few new caches around the area.
After a bit of Wandering this way and that I eventually worked out which question goes with which way point. [^] I then soon had a set of coords.
A quick find and the log signed and returned.
Thanks for the cache.

Staying very nearby I thought about doing this last night, but it was a bit cold. So instead in the heat it was today, whilst grabbing info at a waypoint someone asked if I was lost "I'm not lost , I'm geocaching!" was my reply. (I should have added - I know where I am to 3 decimal places) , cache found after trying a few spots first. Thanks for the multi

Found with Maggs2005, JaffaJ, CachingPikachu and the geopuppy on a drizzly day. With scribble stick and paper in hand we were ready to attempt the cache. We had come from Paradoxical Serpents and we're ready to get another smiley. We walked straight past waypoint one. Great, we hadn't even started and we were already off track. Maggs2005 was the one who pointed us in the right direction. At first we were confused with the questions as we didn't know which questions went with each waypoint but we shortly figured out that we had to work that out too. Read through the sign and wrote as many answers as we could. Off to waypoint two! Once again we were confused, but this time it was for were waypoint two was. We knew the general area and gathered all the answers we could. Wait what about the other sign? I thought as we continued on our mini journey. Waypoint three here we come! Once again answered all questions possible and were shortly on our way to waypoint four. Reached waypoint four and answered all the questions we could. It was our last waypoint but as we went to enter the coordinates we realised we still had two questions to answer. Back to the other sign at waypoint two and we had our coordinates. Arrived at GZ and BINGO!! I had cache in hand. It was a little had to retrieve but it was out of its hiding spot in seconds. We quickly signed and returned trying as hard as possible not to make the nearby muggles suspicious. YAY! Another smiley and just in time, as when jumped in the geomobile it started to pour. Second smiley for the day! Happy cachers, Happy geopuppy!! TFTC!!

Found with Maggs2005, CachingPikachu and TheGeoSnake. TFTC

Found with JaffaJ, Maggs2005, TheGeoSnake and the geo-puppy.

Found with JaffaJ, TheGeoSnake and Caching Pikachu (and the geo-puppy). The weather was closing in, but a pleasant walk around the area sorted out a bit of confusion about the correct information to gather. We arrived at the GZ and I had the correct idea, but TheGeoSnake picked the right location. Log signed and we were on our way. TFTC - great to learn a bit more history about the area where we have lived for many years!

It was International Geocaching day and due time I went out to find a cache.

I looked around to find a cache I hadn't found and this one came up.

Hmmmm, this could be interesting!

I had made other plans during the day but they fell through and it was a bit difficult to motivate myself to go out, but in the end I did it.

I caught the bus and actually miscalculated and thought I needed the stop after, so I got off there. It was only as I walked to WP1 I realised my mistake but made a note that I could return home a little faster.

I slowly walked around to gather the information I needed and made another navigational error when heading to WP4. Doh!

I blame not having a torch and doing this cache at night! (Not a very prepared cacher!)

I got there eventually and was ready to head to the final.

I did the initial search around but got spooked by the night security guy that was patrolling on his motorcycle.

I decided to PAF as a means of cover and hope to expedite the find.

Lucky me, my call confirmed I was in the right place but not.

I followed her instructions and guessed where it was before she actually told me.

Counts for something doesn't it?

TFTC!

Happy birthday, mum! What a nice way to spend a sunny afternoon this was, though failure to collect all the relevant clues at each site did mean a bit more of the afternoon got enjoyed than was quite needed! I particularly liked the statue . We managed to work out all the coordinates with relative ease and found the finals spot on. We had to judge our time carefully between the Ekka muggles but managed with no drama and found the cache safe and well. TFTC, Zacgyver. =^.^=

After finishing all the paperwork I decided to celebrate the rest of my birthday by finding a cache. La Kedi chose this one and we headed off. As we neared WP1 we realised that parking could be a problem given the Ekka being on but managed to find a close spot. Probably not a legal one so we kept our eyes open for any inspectors. We wandered around the campus gathering answers and soaking up the sunshine, finally working out the co ords to GZ. Picked our moment to grab the cache in between groups of muggles making their way to the show. Cache and log safe and dry. Thanks Zacgyver.

Completing my July challenge cahe. One more to go. Tftc

Fun little multi at UQ, one of the universities I've attended so good little history lesson

We really enjoyed this multi.
We headed out on the bus today and had a pleasant walk around the precinct collecting the info and reading the history as we went.
Thanks heaps Zacgyver

Well I finally can say I've found it.
Called in here on Sunday with the kids. Had a lovely walk around snapping photos at the various waypoints. But I realised I had missed something. Didn't have time to fix it, so today I dropped back in. With thanks to the council's free 15 minutes car parking I got to the waypoint I missed got the info required. Plotted the answer and still had 10 minutes left. Jogged over to my calculated GZ and begun my search. Pretending to wait for a friend while being on the phone I managed to poke around and soon had the cache in hand. Log signed and replaced as found. Thanks for the multi Zacgyver.

I had been out for a pedal on the geocycle. I had chosen poorly and tried my luck along the bike path by the creek. By the creek and sports fields. Sports fields chock full of muggles.

At least this is a quiet spot on a Saturday. I my usual style I did this the hard way and crossed several roads many times. [:o)]

All the info was easily gathered and GZ computed. On the other side of the road of course. [B)]

Smile and wave at the nice security guard as he passes on a motorbike. Checked a couple of spots but I was on the right track.

Thanks for a nice little multi. I have not been in this part of the buildings before. Nice to say hello to a Hippo Crates. [:o)]

Had an hour to spare in this region today so decided to grab this. I have been to these buildings many times and never realised who the statue was of.... TFTC!

Nice quick multi. TFTC

What a lovely multi! I came by bus from the city during a lunch break to collect all the information and then find the final. It was quiet, not many people around. It didn't take long to find the answers and then to find the cache in its little hidey place!

Thanks for the cache, Zacgyver!

1776 - I stopped by here this evening on my way home from work to fulfil the requirements of this beaut little multi. I had been past this area many times previously, but I have never stopped and I didn't realise how big this campus was, even though I know someone who works here. I found all of the answers easily and after the pleasant walk around the area with nobody else to bother me, I quickly had some useful coordinates to conduct a search. I found the cache hiding in good condition in it's spot at 6:48pm. Thanks for a great little multi Zacgyver, a great cache deserving of a favourite point.

PERFECT end to the working year (hopefully). I take a bus that passes by here, and decided today would be the day to pause for the cause. WP1. WP2 WP3 WP4. Final. Wow. this is my favourite type of Multi. A short walk, interesting places to visit for a purpose. Interesting scenery as I walked. History. Beauty. Questions that made sense. Coords spot on. Calculations sensible (I did everything on my phone including keeping track of answers as I went), and a properly hidden final right where the phone was saying to go. I loved this. A definate fav point.
Thanks for placing this cache, Zacgyver. Found in good condition.

Nice easy multi cache for an after work destress!

Found some of the info before getting to GZ, a trip this afternoon and i quickly had all the numbers.

At GZ i guessed the right type of hide and soon had the cache out and signed without any worries.

TFTC all is well here!

#2: I had done the lead up work some time previously but left the find for what I now call Big Monday. Pipper Pointer and I arrived via the Legacy Way tunnel in the early hours and made short work of running over to notate the log.
I found this a very good multi, with many interesting points of history, as well as a physical insight into these buildings and artefacts. I had lunch in the cafeteria on the day of walking around, but then kind of found myself trapped in trying to get out to where I wanted to go. But I survived. My first calcs were incorrect and although I had exactly the right style of hide in mind, it didn't appear for me until I rechecked everything. TFTC Zacgyver!

Easy stroll around the campus. New dental building looks amazing!! This is find #800 for the team. Fitting it is a UQ orientated cache with our current project we're working on. TFTC Zacgyver

out with the two k's on our usual Thursday adventure and the both need a U so this one was perfect

loved the statue and the clue here

on our walk around collecting the info one of the k's gave mrk a ring to say 'we are waving hi as we walk past'

all info collected and off to gz we go
a nice quick find
perfect co-ords
shame a few of these are broken

I had an appointment at the hospital this morning for my injured finger, and as I walked to the clinic from my 2 hour street parking, I checked on my phone for nearby caches, and discovered this new one Perfect! Now I just have to hope I don't have to wait forever for my appt and have time afterwards to give it a whirl.

Fast forward 1 hour and I am on my way to the first WP! A bit of confusion until I worked out which clues to look for, but after that I visited all the other WPs, gathered all the information, crunched the numbers and came up with a good looking GZ [^] Another leisurely wander, and as I neared GZ, I spotted a familiar figure standing very close to where I was heading! Who else but the CO! Hilarious timing He had the pleasure of watching me search, and happily the cache came to hand very quickly [^] Log signed and we decided to head off together and look for a few more. TFTC, Zacgyver, and the company today.

Out with barbbowman and bubba89 this morning, I needed to find this multi to complete my "Can you spell AUGUST in August?" Challenge. We got a great park and headed off to WP1. I really enjoyed the walk and each of the places the hunt took us to. I used to work in this area and I can't believe all the changes. I also didn't know there were so many pieces of history - you just need to know where to look. We got to GZ and it was Barb who found the cache. Log signed it was off to Banks Street Reserve to find some bush turkeys. I loved this spot - very clever and a little bit sneaky. Thanks for the cache Zacgyver

Up early on Sunday morning and decided to have a go at this cache. Forgot the Ekka was still on but arrived way before the crowds. Parking was a breeze.

I had heard about the new dent school - it does look impressive.

A walk around collecting numbers, did the maths and headed off to GZ.

Nicely constructed multi.


tftc Zacgyver

After work, Selva Girls and I made our way to the starting WP. We drove up through to the first couple and I hopped out and took pictures. With very limited parking - Ekka week - I was dropped off at another and photo again was taken. A sneeky park on the side of the road and the figures punched in and a likely spot was located. Out of the car I hopped again and Selva Girls in the meantime was able to find a park and come searching. I checked all points but one - and she had it in her hand! Nice little multi. TFTC Zagcyver

Out with NurseyJulie after work to get our cache for the day. There was limited parking in the area due to the Ekka, so I dropped NurseyJulie so that she could photograph what we needed. I drove around and back again to pick her up. Process was repeated a couple of times until all info was collected. then we found a sneaky park for a few minutes while calculations were made. I again dropped NurseyJulie off and drove around for a little while until I finally spied a parking spot close to GZ. I parked the car and headed over to giveNurseyJulie a hand. I quickly had the cache in hand and we signed the log. I returned the cache to where I found it and we headed back to the car and home

Was looking for a couple of U caches to complete my August challenge.

This one was clearly on the radar.

Find #1660 at 16:45. Ekka Day turned out to be a great day to do it!

While climbing a nearby tree the other day, totalube suggested that he might just have solved this as-yet-unfound multi, and would we like to join him to claim it post climb? Well, okay

Unfortunately, one number was a tad off and we ended up some distance away with no cache to be found, just as the FTF was claimed. Oh well. We really had to get going, and said farewell to our companions.

Deciding I really should do this Properly , I headed the short distance in after work today to give it a go.

No problems with the waypoints (which I did in reverse), though I did have to check my final answer as I really didn't expect it to be that far from where I had ended up [:o] but no, numbers were all good....

I made the trek to GZ and immediately identified where I thought the cache would be. My first guess was a little exposed to a loitering muggle, so I tried two others unsuccessfully before coming back to it, and as the muggle played with her phone, I extracted the cache.

I then had to outwait more foot traffic before replacing it and heading back to the car.

Thanks for the cache, Zacgyver. I can imagine this one might be a little harder to do at times than it was this evening...

What do you know, the bus from Uni ends up here

So I "forgot" to get off at my usual spot and by the time I "realised" I had missed my spot, I was 100 meters from the clues

Well, the return bus might be a while, so I went back and checked on the number I had erroneously gotten yesterday, and sure enough, the new number made far more sense, Sorry Engphil, Palopinto, MissGeosie, 1MinnieMoo, 1MinnieMooJnr, 1GiantPanda, Swellerfungus, & Seffnjarah, it was a nice drive thought !

So with the new numbers in hand, I had to search for a while, in between muggles, but eventually, I got the cache, signed my 2TF and replaced.

And of course I made it back to the bus stop to catch my return bus

Thanks, good to expose this site

FTF @ 6:13pm

Was on my way out to re-hide a muggled cache and checked my inbox to see if there were any new hides nearby. Noticed this one at the top of my inbox - close by, so I decided to make the short trip north. No logs yet, so I held out hope for a FtF chance.

Grabbed a park in the permit zone near two of the WPs... figured I'd be fine given it was a Sunday night with noone around. Quite a striking entrance to the university! No signs of any life, cacher or otherwise, so I quickly hopped around the WPs and made my way to the final location. Good coordinates meant a quick find, and my first FtF badge!

TFTC Zacgyver, I'd never been to this campus before, so it was a nice little adventure. The neon lights of the Ekka also made for nice evening viewing.

Or stuffed up the coordinates.

I got my clues before a nearby tree climb and went past where I thought the cache was after the tree climb. No luck finding the cache, sorry to the caches that placed their trust in me

I will check the numbers and try another time.

Thanks
