TRLT Howie the Yowie goes to the show! Neville, New South Wales, Australia
By The Hancock Clan on 26-Jul-18. Waypoint GC7V5HQ

Reperio 11:25Today I ventured towards Bathurst for the Mount Panorama Punish run event, and once that was done, I headed out for some caches on a long detour to home. Found one very dried up log on the ground, but then opened up the cache to find a better one inside. Log is damp.Gratias The Hancock ClanAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

Hard find but worth it, needs some maintenance

Quick park and grab

The sun is shining, the countryside is green and there were caches to find. We had a lovely day cruising around the back roads. Thanks for the caches.

It is beautiful spring weather, so we left the chores and want out to enjoy the day and do some caching. Thanks for making our day more enjoyable.

Found after a short search, thanks.

Found on day caching with lonely ra

Tftc Hancock clan, quick find, cache full of spider ️ lid won't close properly

Bag full of scorpions. Yuk.

Beautiful day or a drive

My apologies for logging this 6 months after the find. I was creating a new list when I realised I hadn't logged the caches on this list. TFTC Hancock Clan

A good quick find on our day's geocaching. I haven't been to this area for several years since we stopped doing the horse show circuit. The country is certainly looking good at thew moment. TFTC The Hancock Clan

First find of the day!

Grass is getting long but managed to get close enough to spot the cache. TFTC

#5550- Some great finds along the TRLT with thomo31 while admiring the great scenery.Thanks

Found with WaywardWoman while caching in the area. Signed log and returned as found. TFTC

This was a great hide but the logbook was kinda wet

Spent a couple of days on the road doing a pre-lockdown pandemic caching run through the central tablelands of NSW. With cold nights and beautiful days I headed for the TRLT (The Road Less Travelled) and the scattering of caches in the towns nearby.

The recent wet weather made the roads slippery at times and many of the caches had taken on some level of water... Thanks to all the CO's for your hides.

Found

We decided to get out for a weekend drive and decided to drop in and grab this cache as we passed by.

A quick stop to sign the log here today.

Thanks for the cache.

Still hanging

Day 2
It was time to return and try to finish off the remaining TRLT series with Rapidlywild. Probably not the best time to go with rain and snow forecast, but we have never let the weather stop us before. So packed all the winter woollies, thermals, gloves and beanies and off we went.

We nearly got all the elements over the weekend even in one day snow, rain, fog, sun and wind but there was also some pleasant weather thrown in there for good measure. Roads in some places were a little hair raising but the trusty 4WD got us through safe and sound.

With permission from some of the cache owners we replaced saturated logs and on a few occasions caches.
All in all a good and successful long weekend away, lovely looking countryside and views along the way.

Some interesting cache containers along this section along with various hides. Some made a little harder with the sleet and fog. Still managed to find all hides which was nice.

Thanks for the hide and adding to the fun The Hancock Clan and thanks for another fun filled weekend away RWLD.

Last month, FFLL and I begun the tackle against the TRLT series and managed to get a huge chunk done. Well, we decided we wanted to get it finished so with snow on the forecast, we bit the bullet and packed the thermals and set off to have some fun. We had rain, fog, frost and even snow but it was an awesome weekend for sure We reached out to the cache owners of the ones we had to complete to inform them of our intentions and also advise that we were happy to complete replacement maintenance if required, so we came across a few that after extensive searches, we didnt locate, so we replaced as approved by the CO. A large number of replacement log sheets left along the way also to assist with the caches with soggy log books.

Lots of places visited across the weekend, including lots of old churches and old cemeteries across the land.

Thanks for the hide The Hancock Clan And thanks to the FFLL ladies for another fun weekend out and about the TRLT trails and others

Found at 11:38 AM GAFF1.
A bit of a shame as the lid wasn't clipped on properly and the log book is quite wet.
Thanks The Hancock Clan.

Nice and easy find after staying the long weekend at Neville siding with some friends found the cache with the moo man

Nice find. Love the camo.
Found the log on the ground at GZ. Log was wet so we left a new dry note pad

What a few months we all had – after the NSW government lift restrictions on traveling I was VERY keen to get out there as they say. I had a planned walk to do in Cooperhannia Nature reserve so after completing that I completed a very small number of caches before heading home – this was the 5th completed – I love the way you hide & camouflage your caches - many thanks for the series - TFTC / TFTH / SL

Found it

In all are travels we would not have even thought to traveled to this location.
(Ha Ha). In your dreams, these cachers do.

[:(!] Thanks for an awesome effort.

Devilish

Brilliant and Clever

I like it

Another one of the list

We did some of the TRLT caches a while back and it was great to be back doing some more. Love the different styles of hides, some creative, some not and the quirky covers we discovered on some. The countryside is looking awesome and we enjoyed the rural locations and wonderful views. Thanks to The Hancock Clan for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

Left Canberra on the 2nd January to escape the smoke and spend a few days caching with Joolay and KittyKatch. Logs signed as CC for Capital Crunchers and a great little round trip has taken us on part of the TRLT (The Roads Less Travelled) series. Great to spend some time in the back blocks especially as a lot of this country was home to some of my ancestors. Tftc

Someone actually managed to lock a biggish huntsman spider in here and luckily it was dead by the time I got to it otherwise you would hear me screaming still

Decided to undertake a short excursion with barb2e and Kittykatch (signed as Capital Crunchers) to start working on the TRLT trail. We are glad to escape the horrible smoky conditions in ACT even if its still pretty smoky.

Been a great day for a drive and good company. TFTC The Hancock Clan

Found today with Joolay and Barb2e and signed as Capital Crunchers.

A neat hide. It needed the brave one of us to rescue the log from the embrace of an eight-legged guardian ... Tftc!

Found on our 2 week trip to Bathurst and surrounds with Roostaman.
Many nice trails, scenery and lush pastures around here.
Thanks for the cache The Hancock Clan,

Another trip around TRLT series to do the latest few sections.
Some of the roads are VMLT (Very Much less travelled) and that's a good thing.
Mainly good safe hides and nice quick finds.

Camped at Lyndhurst for a few days. Out today to do some of TRLT series that have gone down since we were here last. Thirty five for the day, quick find, cache and contents all good, good coordinates. Took nothing, left nothing. TFTC

Day 1 - Travelling TRLT with oldmorty and marj01.
(Log signed OMF to save space).
TRLT caches: found - 98, DNF - 2, write note - 2.
Other caches found - 30, DNF - 4.
Thanks to The Hancock Clan for placing this cache here for us to find.

On a big weekend caching with oldmorty and Frazeydaze and logs have signed OMF. 
Would like to thank all cache owners, for making and maintaining the caches.

OCW frazerdaze and marj01. House sitting at White Rock for a week has provided an opportunity to do some geocaching runs around Bathurst - mainly TRLT series indispersed with a number of trads and puzzle caches. During the day we saw lovely scenery, lots of sheep and cattle, a few foxes and one deer in the forestry area. We even encountered fire persons doing a burn off which included two of the caches we were chasing. Please excuse the generic logs and thanks to all the CO's for placing the caches and adding to our enjoyment. For expediency all logs were signed OMF.

Wasn't this cache fun after a shower of rain
Howie's tree sure knows how to put the dampers on a cache search
Not that I needed to do much searching,
other than for a way to stay dry

TFTC on TRLT.

Getting used to this kind of hid. Thanks for the hide Howie the Yowie!! Loved it.

Our second day trip with Wilbert67 at Bathurst and surrounding area collecting caches, the main aim is to grab the TRLT and everything in between. Thank you to all the COs for their hides.

Our second big day around Bathurst. Again J+J.AU and me are fit to tackle the TRLT trail and all other caches on our route. Really great, but warm weather again made for an exhausting day. Enjoyed all the fantastic views on this scenic trip. Thanks to all the cache owners for puttinh them out there!

Out on a hot afternoon for a drive collecting a few more caches along TRLT.
A nice outing which ended with a top meal at the Neville Pub.

I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney and go West for a weekend of caching. Though I was late to start and early to finish as I had a long way drive. I love driving these long country roads, but my car disagrees with all the grasshoppers splattered all over the front of it!

Thanks for the cache.

Thank you so very very much for this awesome series that is showing us around with minimal bitumen. Absolutely loving it. No show here at this time but the cache was found. Thank you for the cache.

It was time for a big weekend caching, so I was joined by Fitzy_1965 and MinnieK for two days to tackle the new TRLT caches just East of Bathurst, This part of the trip went smoothly. I also managed to squeeze in a few more on the day after whilst traveling between the rain on Monday.

Thanks.

Headed out for a weekend of caching with fitzy_1965 and Albida33 to collect all the new sections of TRLT series and a few caches in-between. Signed as AMF for the weekend.

Made Trunkey Creek showground our base camp for two nights and cached our way around the area from there.

Absolutely loved the Howie section. Great stories, great caches. Favourite points to all of them from me.

16,692. Found with minniek and albida33 on a fantastic run around the area over 2 days.

When we saw the new sections of TRLT Series published we made them a priority to do asap. Having cached around the region many times and knowing how beautiful it is we were really looking forward to it. Drove up last night and we camped at the Trunkey Creek Showground. Headed out first thing this morning for a big days caching. This was the next of many caches. Quick find once at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache and we headed off to the next one.

Thanks The Hancock Clan !! We appreciate your very funny contribution to this great series !

On a road trip with EverestHigh and MaxAdventurer grabbing these new TRLT caches. This was an enjoyable trail with good hides and decent containers at GZ. Thanks to all the COs for going to the effort of placing these caches.

Howie needs to put in a better show with his deposits if he's going to impress the girls.

We started the day from Blayney and headed to the southern part of the trail! The road was a little more travelled today. TFTC

Found with Justjessie on a "History of", "Road less traveled" and all the other caches in between four day blitz. Had a great time and saw some awesome countryside. TFTC.

Found with O319 on our week away chasing down"history of" caches.

It is now Monday, all packed up, the boy heads off in one direction for home, we head off in another and the Hancocks head off in another. A quick find and blending in quite nicely to where it is hidden.

An interesting find on the day of the Neville school fete. A good day all round. Tftc ( and the series)

Our 7th for the day. There was a horse show on at the showground....stealth was required as lots of muggles here today. TFTC

What a cool day out in the bush , travelled so many roads that never ever been over , driven past on the way to other places
all caches were found in under a minute, so a huge thanx to all involve in stage 3 of the road less travelled
we have plenty more to get , be we got a hole in them today.
thanx again we'll be back, next we will bring medication for poor Howie, the poor bugger must be in a bad way [:o)][:o)][:o)]
thanx and cheers from the Routers

The caches in this section of the TRLT series were out last lot for today. We found 58 caches in total and had a really good day. This part had caches with fun and appropriate camo and we looked forward to finding each one, trying to guess before we got there what each one would be. All logs were signed and each cache was put back as it had been found. Many thanks go to The Hancock Clan for some fun caches. Favourite point given for adding to this caching series with such good camo.

[FTF]. Evening drive for 35 caches. Signed and replaced. Thanks for all the new caches in the area.
