WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 70 - Goomalling Day. The day was a little overcast, but it has been a very cold night. Not freezing, but cold enough. I was joined by Sacada and Aqulus1 today as we did a trail south to Northam. We did some Labs in Northam and a few caches which were along the way or near th labs. Lunch was at one of the Northam bakeries before getting back in the car to head back to Goomalling via the second half of the cache trail. A great day with friends normally on the other side of the country. The evening turned wet and I stayed inside to cook dinner.In amongst the trail caches there were a few others that also went smoothly. From below this bridge does not look as neat as it does from above. Plenty of nooks and crannys, but the decent sized cache was soon found.Thanks for the cache Thejman8248280.32 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2010 Antarctica A#187**Albida**

Long weekend road trip out to the Wheatbelt with the main aim to finish off the GG series that I started last year. Of course there were also plenty of extras thrown in too, including this one Smile Parked up at the suggested spot and then took an easy walk towards the water. Great coords meant I ducked under at almost the exactly right spot! A very fast find here - TFTC

Day 1 of WAGB22 week, the plan was to go to Northam and do a few along the way including KEP Series near Clackline and the walk up the hills in Bobakine Nature Reserve. Did some GG Series but had to miss a few and some missing in the roadworks sections.

66 Finds and 4 DNF, and 1 not willing to swim in the Avon.

Thanks to all the CO’s for their hides and maintaining the series.

Came home from work and B12 put the call out to C10 and myself to head out for a quick drive out to Jennacubine to grab a FTF that was up for grabs. We met up at Cockburn Central just before 2000hrs and hit the frog and toad.

Grabbed this cache on the way back into town. Took a short hint before I spotted it. Cheers Thejman82! Big Grin

What better way to spend a long weekend than packing up the car and heading off on a road trip? We made plans to meander our way to Northam and camp there overnight before setting sail for home. This was one of the caches we had targeted for the day and we also had some GCA caches, Waymarks and Adventure Labs on the radar. Cheers and TFTC.

Took a run out to Northam and york with Redlipsandunicorns to pick up a few caches. Didnt get all of them on the list as it took us ages to get to northam with the traffic. The ones we did look for were all found with the cache of the day being Aviators Delight which took ages to find with the great camo job. A pleasant drive which we will do again on the weekend for WAGB. Thanks to all the CO,S for the caches
