LGA Hornsby NSW Williams, Western Australia, Australia
By FellowshipOfTheTrail on 02-Jul-17. Waypoint GC788H1

Couldn't see any rocks around here, other than the 2 next to the fence post which had no cache.

WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 35 - William Day. I stayed an extra night in William to have a go at the LGA trail on a day I needed plenty of caches. I did sleep in a bit and I got away at a leisurely time of the morning, but I was still on the rail at 0930. I had an enjoyable two hours doing sixty out of sixty six caches. All that I found except one or two were in great condition for their age. There have been a few replacements, and the mint tins do not serve well as containers along here. There were six DNFs, all due to farmers clearing fence lines for new fences and in some places burning of the remains. Once had done all the aches I was planning on doing I headed back into town and got to some home work, catching up on logging. Thanks.Albida

Fence line cleared, 2 rocks at post but no cache

Sorry should've enabled this one earlier. It is up and running, new hint, under rock.

Though there was no tree in sight we found this one lying in the open so placed it on a fence line today.

Found it in the open, placed under rock on fence.

Williams now camping in the caravan park
Back on the LGA trail again today
Thankyou to the CO's for placing these caches.

We'll get down in the next few weeks to sort this one out.

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.

The cache owner needs to:

* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.

Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.

Alternatively:

* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.

In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by FellowshipOfTheTrail and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.
Thank you

Not for us today

No find for us here either.
Not many missing caches but about 45 throw-downs.
About 120 logsheets are getting pretty rough.
About 30 logsheets are wet.
Several caches now have more than 1 container.

Vast majority of caches are in very good condition.

A long search on both sides of the road failed to locate this cache.

Another DNF to add to previous reports.

Today the geocaching mission for TaurusSix and I is to head back to the LGA series and collect another string of geocaches . We have really enjoyed doing stretches of this trail over several months and visits now. It is always a nice drive, we love getting out into the country, for the most part it is quite deserted and muggle free. And of course we like to collect lots of caches. Today the weather is particularly pleasant, a lovely spring day with the sun shining and a light breeze. The canola in the nearby fields is looking particularly spectacular at the moment with lots of rolling yellow paddocks as far as the eye can see. All in all a perfect day for geocaching.

Another dnf here the area has been cleared and only sandy soil and grass remain.

Thanks to the Fellowship Of The Trail for placing and maintaining this caching series for our enjoyment.

No luck here- the area has been graded/plowed and is bare of anything but soil… ??? If it’s lost

Find 166 of 223 with 6 DNFs on our biggest ever day of caching. Back in June after hitting 9000 finds, we set a target to get to 10000 before our 10 year anniversary of starting caching which was back in September 2012. This series along with a three week trip to Europe were always going to be key to getting our quickest thousand and after today we are a lot closer.

We started out early (not as early as some) and cached from 915 till 5ish with a long break in Boddington for lunch. We soon got into the rhythm of leapfrogging with Mrs O in the car and Mr O on a mountain bike covering 55km across the day, up hill and down dale, on gravel, sand and tarmac.

This awesome series is the pre-eminent power trail in WA and we are so happy it is almost on the doorstep. Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation, placement and maintenance of these caches.

Out on a caching weekend with Team BODS11 the  main aim is to locate and log all the LGA Series caches. Glad to say that mission completed. Thanks FOTT for this series.

Our plan on Day 2 of our big bods weekend had the BODS11 team hitting the road straight for the LGA’s. Awesome series.
Cache found and logged!

A big weekend finishing off the LGA series and finding caches in the surrounding areas with the BODS11 crew (Meme28, Burns345, I C Nothing, Kapelula, Cirrus_WA, Sir Fancy, Leg5, Lachlan1.77, geotrakka, PilotJen and PilotMal). Sorry about the generic logs.

Team BODS11 Saturday morning, up and left at 6am to complete all 563 LGA caches near Boddington.



This is my 2351 find.
Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Down for the weekend in Quindanning to knock off the Boddington LGA series with a number of Perth cachers. This was one of my stops for the weekend. Apologies for the generic logs. Cheers FellowshipOfTheTrail!

Caches signed as BODDS11.

Met the team BODS11 at 6am in Quindanning for a nice early start. Managed to finish the whole LGA Series due to some really hard work and no slacking off (except going into Williams for a pie)

Thanks for maintaining this super power trail.

Thanks for placing

Met up with a team to stay at Quindanning
for a weekend adventure to hit the LGA series- many thanks to FOTT for their hides that well and truly kept us busy. this is an epic series. Apologies for the generic logs.

Many thanks for the hide greatly appreciated

Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and doing the LFA series. Thank you for a great series. 11 January 2022 12:30 pm Tyfc FellowshipOfTheTrail total caches now 3570

Was heading home from having to head up to Perth. Was solo so decided to tackle the next peak and chip away at the LGA series once again. Just enough to get the souvenir I hope.

Thanks for the cache FOT. All were quick finds today.

Cheers

One of our targets for our current visit to Western Australia is the Local Government Area series near Boddington. We made a start about a week ago and then went to Bunbury and Busselton for a few days. Yesterday we returned to Boddington to continue the LGA series.

With overnight rain, we wondered about the state of the gravel roads but they were good. Rain fell of and on for the first hour or so, but the weather gradually improved during the remainder of the day and we had a good days caching. Today we looked for 131 of the LGA caches, finding all but seven of them. Unless stated otherwise, accurate coordinates and the hints led to quick finds. The cache containers were in good condition but, as should be expected, many of the log books are showing signs of being used by many cachers, some being badly torn. On the other hand, it was pleasing to see today that a number of containers and logbooks have been replaced.

We really enjoy the concept of the LGA trail. Congratulations to the members of the FellowshipOfTheTrail on an excellent series which must have taken extensive planning and a large amount of time to prepare and place each of the caches.

7th go at finishing this great series. Thank you for all involved in placing out caches. Funny that it has not been accessed much this year. So sad that 13 out of the 72 we did today could not be found. Put a watch on them all so we can come back one day and find them along with the other 10 dnf's from other sections. Hopefully they need replacing and we're not there.

The day was all about finding as many caches as we could on the LGA series. Headed out early but went on a detour to grab a FTF available in our own LGA which had been taunting us for a week. After a bit of off-roading, and another FTF added to our stats, we headed off again. Two hours later we arrived in Quindanning ready to start the trail. The weather wasn’t the best - cold and blustery, but any day you can get out for a bit of caching is a good day. Thoroughly enjoyed the day searching for these caches with Pollythecollie finding 124 caches with only 4 DNFs recorded. Thanks FOTT for your work in creating and maintaining this series.

Thank you to the fellowship of the trail crew for placing this series for us to find. Up early today with adinache to get on the road to get as many of the series as we could. With a goal in mind to qualify for certain challenge caches. Distracted by a FTF in Kirup we didn’t get up here until just before lunch. Made up time on the trail and managed to miss the rain. All containers were found in good condition on coordinates unless other wise noted

Returned to Narrakine Road today to finish off the NSW and WA LGA series caches. Beautiful day for a cache/cycle. All caches were pretty easy logical finds. TFTC

Probsty and I were always going out to finish the Quindanning LGA caches today. We diverted off to Harvey Dam for some recently published caches. We hit before Mundays Rd first up before tacking Narrakine Rd. There is no one around and the caches are rolling into each other.

We had a huge day of hunting LGAs and a massive thanks to the Fellowship of the Trail for placing and maintaining them. It’s a big job and we really appreciate it.

Nice easy find. Thanks for the trail

Quick find TFTC

Another day on the LGA series. Beautiful views all around here. Thanks for the caches and sorry for the generic posts. TFTC

Headed out for a morning of caching before camping for the night at the new Lake Kepwari camp site (which i highly recommend). Around 180 caches found woth only a couple of DNF's.

Cache found, signed and replaced

Quick find while out early this morning hitting this LGA PowerTrail.

Yay

Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail.

We found your cache **"LGA Hornsby NSW"** today. (This makes our find count 23099).

Today we headed out from Williams and attempted our second loop of the LGA group of caches. We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse, but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]

We found 133 caches today & DNF'd 1. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels. Our log or stamp is not necessarily placed in the last spot in the book or sheet. If we find a blank spot when we open the log - that is where it goes.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny

After getting up nice and early (4:00) i made the journey from Albany to start The Fellowship of the Trails LGA series. It did not disappoint, starting at Carne rd and wandering through the the back roads till light became dark and i became thirsty! So i settled into the Quindanning inne for a couple of brews and a beautiful meal (thanks ladies) All up a huge day of hunting. Thanks for putting out this series, it must have taken all involved a huge effort which i'm sure all geocachers are very happy with. TFTC

Tagged along with Gma Allinaday to find the FellowshipOfTheTrail series. We had a fun few days looking for all caches. I loved all the lambs in the fields but the red back spiders that were on a few of the caches not so much. Thank you for putting all the caches out there for us to find.

Finally had a spare few days to go and tackle the FellowshipOffTheTrail series with my two granddaughters. Accommodation booked in Boddington a few months earlier, which we used as our base, we set off in high spirits to find all those caches. We had some big days, and also a few shorter ones. Given that it was the middle of winter, we had near perfect caching weather. Not a drop of rain, the roads were nice and smooth with little dust. The fields were lush and green with an abundance of newly born lambs, which were a never ending source of amusement for the girls. We found most of the caches where they were meant to be. Some had been strewn a number of metres away by animals. Some fences have been realigned....one cache location was some 10metres inside a new fence. Some caches have been wiped out by the grader widening the road and pushing all the dirt up. Some trees have also succumbed to new fences. Wherever possible, we have replaced caches.....approx. 26 or so, which will keep the trail alive. Many thanks to those responsible for placing all these caches. I can only imagine how much time has gone into that.

Apologies for the generic logs and thanks for the series. We do not apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to Fellowship of the Trail for placing these here for our enjoyment.

Thanks.

Decided went to LGA series for weekend...

Found all caches BUT expect two caches called LGA Wiluna WA and LGA Gloucester NSW - the tree is gone and another landscape - assume for new fence...

Saw a pair of tawny frogmouth owl, Snake, a kangaroo, blue-tongued, plenty farm animals...

Thanks for FellowshipOfTheTrail for the hide the cache and hunt.

Well we had plans to be in Albany this week, but plans changed so we were heading towards Dunsborough when plans changed again! Needed somewhere to stop for 1 week and the LGA series popped up on our radar!

So day 2 today and a leisurely start at 10.00 and back at the caravan by 4.30pm with 181smilies today.

We did have some trouble today with new fences having been installed, so a fair bit of searching further afield in the hope of finding displaced containers. still a good days hunt.

TFTC Guys.

FellowshipOfTheTrail this is my 56th cache of 213 finds of the day and brings my total find count to 512. The container is in good condition. SLTFTC.

I found the cache in good condition. SL TFTH FOTT.

My seventh visit to LGA country, and sadly not my last as unlike other cachers I have limited tolerance for power trails and so cap my caching day at 2 hours/50 finds. Looks like I'll have to make another two or three visits in order to complete the map. Sought 50 today and found all 50 - no DNFs which makes for a relatively pleasant day. All were quick finds as per the hint. TFTC

The caching effort today was a record one with 154 caches found. It was cooler today, so the assault on the LGA series with goingplaces2, gave a great result. Most were easy to find. All logs had initials used. Thanks go to FellowshipOfTheTrail for this cache placement.

As it started out being a much cooler and rather overcast day, we were soon out hunting caches with ilook4geo. We were determined to make a dent in the locally availables caches and found about 154, which is a total that we were pleased with. Most of the caches in this LGA series were quite quick and easy to find today. Each log had our initials added.Thanks go to FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing this cache and for adding another smiley to our caching map.

I probably spend more time in this lga then any other so guess I better give a series favourite here. Tftc tnln

Out again with m4yb hoping to clean up the LGA series plus a few others before we head to WAGB.
Thanks for the smile and hide FOTT

After a peaceful night camping at Armoin, megawat60 and I set off to hopefully clear up our remaining FOTT LGA’s. Quick find here, TFTC!

Suscoe was travelling between Perth And Albany today.
We had spotted these trails a while ago and so we just had to take in a few of the roads in the short time we had available
Almost all caches were found in good condition.
It was a lovely Spring day with some sunshine, some cloud and good roads including freshly graded gravel.
Thanks to the FellowshipOfTheTrail for this cache and series.

Found at 12:45:00 PM.

rudi63 and I headed out to have a go at part of the LGA series today. We made the choice to start with the southern section of the series and see how we went. We made pretty good time overall, finding a bit over 200 of them in about 7 hours or so, which included a bit of back tracking over completed areas and also stopping for lunch.

Most of the finds were made rather easily. A few were found out in the open and then replaced where the hint said the cache should be and a few are the dreaded now. Overall a fun, but tiring, day and a big thank you to all that are a part of FellowshipOfTheTrail.


Thanks for the cache FellowshipOfTheTrail, it was cache number 2782 for me and was number 138 in my run of 217 finds and 9 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

[:o)]

Mr Wileyclan and I planned to attack a section of this lengthy series. An early start and a drive to the south most section.

A long day, and success in that we broke a few PBs. for me it was the most in a Day, the most in a Weekend, and the most in a month. Most of the caches were easy finds, some took a little longer to search for, but at least we kept the DNF tally to a low acceptable level.

We had a fun day, we did beleive that the Fellowship missed the opportunity to achieve some silly puns with some of the LGA names.

Fantastic power series.


___________________________________________________________________

Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrail for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 12:46:00. This was my Find 138 for today out of a Total number of 217 Finds and 9 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4281.

Awesome thanks. All ok

On our way to Perth and had some time to find some more in the series! Thanks for the cache!

Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail - the current challenge fron GC was a good reason for me to head down and look for some of the LGA series of caches. I headed towards the southermost section and began. In all 222 finds with 3 DNF's (maybe I didn't look hard enough). SL. The container and log are in good contidion for all caches found. Thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail for this cache - our find #5556.

Granett, SVKR_WA and I had hatched a plan to head out and knock over some of the LGA series and also see how many we could get in a day. Our goal was 200 as we wanted to camp up as well so had to leave early.

We ended up with around 200 of the series. Starting at 7.00ish and finishing here at 1.30pm to head of and find a nearby cache and also do some maintenance.

We had a great day with many laughs shared at the expense of ourselves and also other members of the Fellowship

We decided to head up to Congelin to camp for the night where I am writing this log.

Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing this cache.
I found it at 8:02:00 AM on Sunday, 04 March 2018
This is my find #35 out of 209 today.
Total finds to date : 6314

Headed out over the long weekend with Granett and Kyzabra for a bit of camping and a lot of caching.

Trying to have a big day or two knocking of the LGA series, and a few others.

Thanks for placing this cache and contributing to this great game

FellowshipOfTheTrail I found your cache at 8:02am, this was the 34th of 207 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4500. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

Am super, super happy! They're all done!! Yay!!!

Now I have to log them all. Not so super happy now am I?

Oh well, here goes - all will be pretty much generic, unless something about the cache, the location or something else at gz warrants a mention.

Numbers, numbers, numbers. Not normally my thing, but I did enjoy the two days spent out there with geobuddy marke8183. I supplied the food, drink, directions and other necessities whilst he did the driving, and all without a complaint. Sweet man that he is. And numbers aren't his thing either. He has probably visited about a half of all the caches I have logged and yet he has only logged 158 to date.

The Fellowship of the Trail have put in a lot of work in setting up this power trail. I can only imagine how many visits they had to make to get them all out, and then the maintenance will be ongoing. Power to them!! Awesome work guys. Thanks.

Another early day out with neva2old, we hit the road at 3am in aim to finish off the LGA series, which was done in a few hours and started to chip away at a few other series too. We had a great day out and we think we finished off with over 200 smileys for the day (will put the final number in the last log) we had a handful of DNF's after spending a considerable time on the hunt but are happy to say we come up trumps here today TFTC

Tftc out and about to finish this series on a warm day usingthe acronym prfg , hoping we dont come across any snakes ,did find a rather large lizard and a herd of cows that delighted the bulls in the paddock beside us as the passed us down the road. Loving this series.

An easy find . Working under acronym of PRFG, TFTC

Out for a day of caching, nice cool weather for an early start leaving Busselton this morning at 5am, only 18 degrees atm, got the first Cache at 7.51am. Caching Under the acronym of PRFG.

Organised a full caching day with ssclan to find as many of the LGA series as we could. So left the Northern suburbs around 5am arriving at the first cache around 7:15am (after breaky at Armadale maccas). Found the last cache around 5:15pm, and got home around 7:30pm.

Ended up with 329 finds in about 10hrs! Managed to complete the entire Southern section and a good amount of the Western side, apart from 5 that were unreachable due to some flooded roads. Luckily all the rain hadn't effected the roads. Also picked up a few other caches in the area.

A great days geocaching, smashed my previous day record of 150, and also passed the 5,000 finds mark too!

Thanks to the Fellowship for putting all these geocaches out, a massive effort I'm sure.

A long, record-breaking day with Spatialriq collecting as many caches on the LGA series as we could. 328 in total for me and the only blemish was a section of flooded road we couldn't access.
All quick finds except where the rain had washed the leaf litter around the base of trees.
The ants were out in force but luckily there were no reptiles.
Thanks Fellowship for this great series.

Out for a day of caching with MissNerdBerger to grab a few caches to complete some goals that I had set myself for this year, to get 100 finds in a day and complete the year with a least 365 caches.

The day started a little later than expected and after being collected by MNB we started the drive down towards Williams to complete some more of the LGA series that we started just after they got published.

After stopping off for a couple of the Australian Bushrangers series on the drive down we quickly got into a groove collecting the LGA caches. Our morning was quite successful collecting 68 finds, I had a good chat to a farmer who although not a cacher himself was familiar with the activity and mentioned possibly getting into it when he finds some more spare time. With fuel getting a little low and bellies the same we headed into Williams for lunch.

A quick drive south to grab a couple of golden ammo cans and we were back in LGA country and working to the 100 caches in a day goal. Although there was still daylight available to us we made the decision to grab find 100 and start heading back home, after doing the math we still have just over 400 LGA caches to get.

All in all, it was a great day and I was able to get my 365th find for the year with our 30th find (LGA Cunderdin WA), passed 800 total caches (Thomas and John Clarke – Australian Bushranger) and hit triple figures for the day (LGA Bunbury WA)

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches and MNB for joining me.

Hoping to finish the rest of the LGA series, but was not to be. Got really hot out there. So after about half that we had left. We decided to call it a day. But we'll be back to finish them in a couple of weeks, tftc sl tnln.

Found it. TFTC FellowshipOfTheTrail. Came down for a day trip to do some more of this series.

Joined up with Geosister (janssej) and Brother and Sister in laws clan (ctvdlinden) on a preplaned trip to do the LGA series in Williams. We logged all our finds with MCJ (a play on MCG as we are all cricket lovers). TFTC and the putting the series together. All in all, we found 221 caches for the day and 4 dnf's.

This was the 58th cache for the day, the weather forecast was for warm weather, but it didn’t bother us at all. A great day out.

Currently, I haven’t found any caches in this LGA as i haven't been in NSW as a geocacher.

Headed out to make a big dent in this series. All up we had 221 finds for the day (220 in this series) and 4dnf's. All caches signed as MCJ to represent the clan Muskat83, ctvdlinden and myself, janssej, which was an easy acronym to remember seeing the cricket was on the radio.
All in all, a great day out - the heat didn't affect us too much as I think it was cooler in Boddington than it was in the metro area. Lots of competition going on, especially between all the geokids as to who would have success at each cache. Thanks for the great series and glad it's back online!

Out of my 3 finds in NSW, none of them are in this LGA

Part of our clan got together and decided on an ambitious total of approx 224 for the day. We drove down from home base (Perth area) bright and early. We - muskcat83, janssej & ctvdlinden - split the kids up and continued on. We had a great day out and found 221 (4 DNF's). Thanks for the series and so happy they are back online again.

##The LGA Series is back up and running.##
Please be respectful of the local environment and road conditions. Ensure you park off the road and be aware of large vehicles that might be in the area.

We would like to thank the **Shire of Williams** for working with us to keep this power trail alive.

The local Shire has asked that we review the placement of these caches. Please do not attempt to find until they are back online. Thanks

Day Eighteen of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I loitered around Quindanning, and we did a few more of the LGA series.
A lovely sunny day with green fields, lots of wildflowers, and dry roads.
Our second day on the LGA series. We started near the pub and cut across to Williams for lunch (and out internet fix), then back to do the arms of that track, finishing up back at the pub for dinner.
I think we did most of the WA series and fair slug of the NSW series.
A good container to use for the series, and a nice collection of hides
Thanks, Robmc.

#13160. Day 18 of our WA holiday and our first day based at Quindanning.

A full day chasing more caches in the LGA Series. First cache signed at 8.00am and we put in a solid 3.5 hours before heading into Williams for lunch and for some internet reception.

Another glorious day with fields of gold and fields of green, blue skies and plenty of wonderful scenery in all directions. We are also enjoying the wildflower displays along the roadsides.

We were pleased to see the ammo can at LGA Boddington. At LGA Wandering we had a nasty experience with a swarm of wasps (we originally thought they were bees, but on reflection think they were wasps as they chased us all the way to the car, into the car and would not leave us alone.

After lunch we put in some more hard yards and ended up with a day's total of 202, our best day ever.

Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrails

Found by Mary & David at 1105 on our third and final day on the LGA trail. Delighted to finish them all today. Our thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail.

We made a very early start today with richlink and JacobsCrew2 to endeavour to complete this series in one day. All caches were found and logs signed with our team name for the day RIJ. We had a lot of fun along the way and retired exhausted at the end of the trail.
Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail - a sterling effort!

After conferring with previous finders and at their encouragement, together with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2 we decided to embark on an attempt to log all caches in this series in the one day. It took a lot of pre-planning and mapping to be confident we could do it, so Fathers Day was nominated for the quest. Arrived at the first cache before sun up on a day that proved to be very chilly with the temperature not rising above 12 deg all day. We worked systematically through the different sections and were elated to have logged (used RIJ to record our visit) all the finds due to excellent co-ords provided by the various CO's of the series. This is definitely our type of scenery for caching and although it was cold, we all enjoyed the day and will remember it for a long time to come. Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail

Day 1 of the LGA caches.

7.5 hours of caching saw us with just over 200 finds.

After seeing these published last week we hatched a plan to make a start on this series on our next days off. Booked a nights accommodation and left home bright and early armed with some information from previous finders, the most important being the addition of wellie boots to our TOTTs.

A huge thanks to the Fellowship of the Trail lads for a great series.

TFTC FellowshipOfTheTrail this is find # 2834 for us.

As part of the FOTT I am pleased to be able to log this one as a find! The series took many months of planning and was not without the odd hiccup but we managed to jump the hurdles and keep the series in place. A fantastic addition to geocaching in WA and I am proud of the efforts of the other FOTT members (AlliedOz, Granett, KrabiBoy, Kyzabra and SVKR_WA) for all they have done in getting this series up and running.

2TF WebblyWA & I decided that we would have a crack at this series but that we would do it at a leisurely pace....there really is no alternative for me anyway. We spent some of our time craftily dodging showers of rain & leaping over impromptu streams. Well I sought of gracefully stepped over little streams but Webby had to bound over gushing torrents of water, she was successful too.....most of the time
We agreed to sign the logs WeePP.....I think.....but to be honest I got a bit confused & signed various abbreviations of our combined team names. We were second behind Team Bock, for all but one...
We had a fantastic few hours down here and a HUGE thank you goes to The Fellowship of The Trail

With pesky and inconvenient work taking up my Friday and my phone pinging to remind me of what I was missing, (The closest ones were in my notification range) I had to settle for clearing out over 100 emails from my inbox and a Saturday assault. I joined up with PP2 and we decided to tackle the southerly caches first. There were no logs online but we knew they would be gone!
We arrived at/in Chittering to make a start and saw our first 'BOCK' Log guessing immediately what it stood for. A theme for all but 2 today. We added our names next to them 'WePP' and continued along the quiet roads. Seeing less than 10 cars from the time we turned off the highway to the time we reappeared. A great day out jumping puddles, climbing embankments, dodging the rain and quick and easy finds. We only had one muggle driver question us and the passenger had at least heard of geocaching told her, "its kind of like orienteering" - this satisfied the driver and they continued on. Massive thanks to the Fellowship Of The Trail team your hard work is to be commended. A huge bonus for Western Australia. Congratulations to the FTFing team of the century too- Team BOCK. I didn't quite beat my best day caching but wasn't far off maybe next time. Just popping over to NSW for a visit - I wonder do they have a LGA challenge?

All caches were logged Team Bock using the first initial of our caching name to save time.
well what an interesting few days this has been waiting to see where these caches were going to be. Knowing they were getting published I was asked to come over early to wait to see when it was going to happen....After stalking a few peoples profile who we thought were part of the Fellowship team OOH YEH already had an idea that the area was Boddington. It was lucky she was on the computer when the first one came out as it was out of my range for notifications. Got straight in the car and had arranaged to meet Barnzy and Cravo at the first cache. Once at the cache it was then a waiting game (thankfully not to long) for the rest to come out. We should mention theres hardly any phone reception out there so it was a mad panic to save all the caches. All caches were found without any problem with a few that were replaced and a few put back where they should have been. I think with non stop caching we got over 400 FTFS and then back out the next morning to grab the rest. A great series to do and I cant imagine how much work went into setting it up. Thanks to all the Fellowship Team for placing these caches and I will give fav points out as I'm logging.

**FTF** with OOH YEH, KristyBelle & Barnzy12, we formed team "BOCK" for ease of log writing.

We had been engaging in dialogue back and forth with all sorts of theories around this Fellowship of the Trail stuff that has been circulating around the traps for sometime.

IThe first cache pinged down to the phone and there was mad calls between OOH YEH who was with KristyBelle and Barnzy12 and myself who had agreed to head to LGA Sydney NSW as that was the first published.


We all met up and went in Mrs OOH YEHs car from there to grab cache after cache after cache following the trails for kilometre after kilometre. The most satisfying feeling was cracking open the tubes and hearing it "break the seal" knowing that you were FTF

We continued for hour after hour finishing after dark collecting over 400 FTFs on the first day of publication plus a couple we were beaten to by other cachers.

Was a huge achievement by the team; Most FTFs in a day in Australia, most finds in a day in Western Australia (which will likely be beaten soon!!) and a couple of others which I've been reminded off by some of the most stat conscious cachers in this great state of ours.

The second day was a bright and early start with over 80 FTFs picked up before the weather set in making driving a bit more slippery and most cache finds needing to jump small rivers to grab the caches and resulting in one of the group managing to have two soaking wet shoes.

What a great series setup by these local cachers Jinta29, alliedoz, kyzabra, Krabi boy, granett and svkr. A huge effort and well done. I hope that cachers will help you guys with the huge task of maintenance so this series can live on for a long time and you may be even inspired to hide another trail. Thank you.

Probably will go down as one of my favourite caching days, (apart from the full week prior planning and going to work early preparing for a release of caches at any point) I'm sure my stats will remind me for some time to come as some of these records will never be beaten by me again!

I was talking to mrs OOH YEH on Friday and she had theorised that the series was around Boddington area (how right she was!!) The first cache pinged down to the phone and there was mad calls between OOH YEH who was with KristyBelle and Cravo and myself who had agreed to head to LGA Sydney NSW as that was the first published.

The trail could be done as a whole on one huge day if you desire, with the right planning this is certainly possible.
