Found it

Reperio 07:50Day 4 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I travelled from Batemans Bay to Eden. The biggest factor of our travels today was the wind. Often blowing so hard it was a challenge to both get the log signed and hang onto zip lock bags. The journey along the coast was fantastic. With rain threatening to arrive early the next day, we aimed to get as much done as we could, and so concentrated our effort on ticking off the caches along Bengello Beach. Found most of the caches we searched for, so it was a great day out.Gratias YoubanAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

The wind died down overnight and we woke to a beautiful sunny morning with the barest of a breeze. So it was onto the bikes and out to the Bengello trail to see how far we could get. We ended up making it to the entrance at Moruya Beach with plenty of finds and a couple of DNFs. Coordinates were generally very good, and the hides well set up and in good condition. Towards the end there were some really interesting containers which we appreciated.Riding the trail was not as easy as well-formed pathways but the bush very interesting, broken up by the occasional excursion over to the beach.We made it back to camp by lunch time, both a bit worn by the ride and the rough countryside we at times had to cover to get to GZ. In the later afternoon we headed out again to find a couple of other caches close to camp.A great series we enjoyed, so we will be back in the next few days to work on those remaining.Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Youban.**SKI Pair****

Accompanied by ALL7, Nice weather was partly cloudy with little showers, then a little while later, it became fully sunny, we travelled to Broulee to run a series of heaps of caches. Some drove, some walked, and some biked. Some **(WOW)** excellent ones are interesting, look at clever ones on the drifferent types of caches in different ways. Love it. Signed the log by the stamp of us. TFTC

Staying at Broulee Caravan park, and today we got the bikes down after a long period of not being able to ride. A cool but sunny day doing the Bengello walk.Total Caches Found 16291TFTC Youban

Another nice one on this banger of a trail. TFTC.

Thought it was under it instead of it

13th of 17 found today.An overnighter at the coast with a bit of traveling required. FFP was mostly patient but toward the end was wandering off trying to see how close she could get to the next cache without a GPSr. This accounts for a number of my embarrassingly high DNF count as I didn't want to have her waiting too long. This time the GPSr put me right on top of the cache, again figuratively.The cache is damp.TFTC Youban and the Jacksons

Out for a days caching with steeba and Hoojar. We had a lovely day on the south coast. This was one of many we found throughout the day.TFTC

Out for a day of caching on the South Coast with Steeba and The Rats, aiming for a few series and finishing with the 20th Anniversary Earthcache Event.Hot day for a walk, bet we will be wishing for a sea breeze by the end. Let's see howany of this series we can knock over.Cheers

Headed down the coast for a day mainly to celebrate the Wasp Head event with The Rats and Hoojar but found plenty of caches along the way for a nice day out.TFTC!

Thanks!

A day out caching with Bogonghazy. Quick find. Thanks for placing the geocache

Out again today with LittleBoss2 to knock off as many of these as we can. These are new containers to us. Thanks again Youban

Easy hide TFTC!

Changing it up okay ...always nice to have a variation of cache finds..ticks are starting to tick me off.

A day of walking along the tracks between Broulee and North Moruya Heads for a whole bunch of caches. Pleasant walk through the forest and only light bush to have to walk through, some really good cool caches in this area. TFTC.

Found with Curloo. Thanks for the hide.

Found with Jondub. TFTC

Caching down the South Coast and district for a few days. TFTC.
Nice quick find.

Beautiful day in a beautiful place - TFTC

A couple of days at the coast.
Cool, but beautiful and sunny; definitely warmer than Canberra.
We made our way down yesterday, stopping along the way for a few adventures and a couple of caches, a pie in Braidwood for lunch then we set up camp in Tomakin for 3 nights.
An awesome place to stay, and right by the river, we have a spectacular sunset (see photos).

Today we tackled this awesome series.
For many years, we used to stay at Mossy Point in the summer and run/ride this beautiful trail. We would make our way to the airport and watch the “cigar” plane take off or land.
Today, we also watched a skydiving plane take off and then paused on our walk to watch the parachutes, skydivers land.
In later years, quite spontaneously, our son flew us in a small 4 seater plane to the Moruya airport, and we picked up a FTF (unexpectedly), just 50 metres from the airport!

Today we were on foot, and it was a long walk.
About this series. It is beautiful and awesome forest/beach trail.
The care in creating the hides is lovely; none of the hides are “hidden”. All out in the open but invisible unless you are truly looking. Most were quick finds, however 2 or 3 took us somewhat longer.
Our name is in the log for all.
We say a big thank you to Youban for this awesome series.
Now onto the bonus final…

GPS was a little bit jumpy but we found it in the end

Found the hole of it but not it

Bring pen

Catching up with some very late logs. This was found while staying in the area.

Out for a ride today and picked off a few in this series. It was an easy enough find once at GZ.

Thanks Youban for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

Well camaflagued. A harder one to find. TFTC

We also spent a while searching this to no avail. Sadly not having as much luck this afternoon. DNF for us

Unfortunately we DNF this one, we search many trees in 10m radius but couldn't find it.

I just could not locate this one. Retraced my steps several times. Bummer

Found it with lance51 TFTC

Found it with Silence49 while on travelling

Found after a short search, thanks.

Nice clear message in this one

Cache in good condition TFTC

All logs and caches have been checked and fixed along this trail.

Out on a day trip with Runner5ive to the coast.

Visiting Moruya with Aramil_au, for the geocaching. Hoping to find lots of them, so sorry for the generic log. Lovely town. Thanks for the cache.

Log too wet

Found it but log very damaged

Log is very wet and damaged

I decided I needed another solo geocaching holiday to detox before uni so I thought the Bengello caches (the Bengello Walk and all the other nearby series') were a great excuse for holidaying at Broulee! Bengello is a stunning area, with a great mix of lovely vegetation and awesome ocean views. The weather was hot today but super blue and lovely, and (for the most part) pretty shady! Started walking at 7am (I didn't get a good sleep) from my accommodation and got back at 3:30pm, with 55 caches to boot. Great to spend Valentine's Day spending time around my true love, geocaching!

The caches in the Bengello Walk series were all found within a couple of minutes each, some instantaneously but some after a bit longer (but that's all about luck, I reckon finding speed would be variable for many people). Unfortunately a vast majority of the logs are quite wet, some unusable, so maintenance is required. I noticed that caches with clues for the bonus tended to be more wet than caches without the bonus (if you've found you the series you'll understand this difference). Speaking of clues, I forgot to look for clues in the first seven caches so before I go back to Canberra in a couple of days I'll need to revisit the area to grab the numbers and the bonus, plus attempt two DNFs within very close walking distance. A lovely series with some funky containers. TFTC Youban!

That was so much fun
It was a bit wet

Out on my bike to clear the lower Bengello trail plus a couple of others. Happy to say I was successful with 16 finds. I also refound the whole series because I didn't write down the numbers for the final last time. However even after doing the whole trail I could find the value for D. Luckily my guess was successful and I soon had gz. TFTC Youban!

log was soaked, tryed our best to sign tftc bb and bj

Got it

With ACT residents no being able to travel to an area around the capital including the coast, it was time to plan a trip. There was a good sized group where we were going to base in Moruya for three days. I traveled with Sol de Lune and Smitten Granny. Others were Cosmonaut97, Kitty Katch, Joolay, Barb2e, fitzy_1965 & MinnieK. Most logs were signed Kapital Krunchers. We had a great weekend of lots of caching in fantastic weather. Day two was more caches around Moruya, we were joined by My Windy who was also holidaying on the coast. We started with south of the river with a walk and then down to the heads for the low tide caches. After lunch it was North of the heads and surprisingly there was enough time to finish the Bengello walk and the airport caches.

After walking from Pendragon to the coast track for a third time, we worked out way south back to the airport for these remaining walk caches. One DNF along the way.

Thanks for the cache Youban

A weekend down the coast for our group from Canberra and this was now day 2. Most logs were signed as Capital Crunchers....

Having left the main group for a while, Smittengranny, Albida and I set out to finish this walk and series. Found all but one of the caches. A neat walk that wasn't too taxing at almost the end of our day....and it was great to finish the series.

Thanks for another Youban....

A great group of cachers from Canberra known as the Capital Crunchers have come down to this area for a long weekend of fun and caching. This is Day 2 and we have been blessed with the weather and the multitude of incredible caches .

Sol de Lune, Albida and i have left the main group and are attacking this trail as the group has completed the list of caches that we were targeting today.

Wow now I understand a conversation that I had earlier with dty73.

Thanks for this trail . SL

Quick find,good spot

Find Number 2267 found at 11:15. Today we found 15 caches and had 2 DNFs. This was the 4th find today

The weather forecast was good so Tony decided to head down to Moruya try to complete the Bengello
Walk series. Any other cache would be a bonus.

I'm starting to get into a rhythm now. Not too many muggles on the trail, and those who were there just ignored the old man standing by a tree

The cache was in good condition. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container as found

Thanks Youban for the cache.

Geo kid once again. Great hide
Very wet log

Great find

The log is a but wet here but a quick find. Tftc

I really enjoyed this trail. This walk was on my to do list while in the area for a few days. I got a bit lucky with a few rain free hours which let me get to #14 before having to turn back. Great series and clever once I figured out what I was looking for. TFTC.

12:02
Ride or walk - we chose the first option and enjoyed one of the best geo trails we have experienced. Cleverly constructed, well hidden caches with clear mystery numbers kept our focus. We were asked a couple of times by passing muggles if we were OK!!

**FEEDBACK TO CO** This guy is quite damp, we tried to dry it but jeans don't work all that well. Left in sun and replaced on our return ride.

Thanks Youban for creating this excellent trail.

In the area for a few days away pre Christmas, any excuse to geocache really. Took the bike and the geodog and peddled from Tomakin to the numerical start of the trail.

I usually hate micro caches but this trail was fantastic. The creativity of the containers was excellent, coords were great and caches were easy to find when you knew what to look for but well hidden if you weren’t looking.

The clues for the mystery cache were easy to find even if you weren’t looking.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to log the mystery today as it’s closer to the Moruya Heads end. Geodog was running out of steam and I didn’t want to make her do another 6-8km (it was already an 18km return trip).

This is easily the best series I’ve done. Well done Youban.

Nice spot easy cache.

Maintenance run. Cache repairs and new logs placed. All good to go

It was a stellar day so decided to do a walk and pick up a few caches along the way. 1 turned into 23 caches a few hours later Thanks for the caches Youban!

Thanks

Gotcha - Found easy enough. Tftc

Found it!

My turn this time. The day is warming up, but the breeze is a little cool, so I am glad to be wearing a light fleecy. TFTC Youban

Loving the walk but ensure you have insect repellent!

Walked from the airport to broulee and found all the caches in between. It was a overcast day, beaches closed due to soot from the fires but other than that a great walk exploring this part of the world. Finding the first few from the airport side was a challenge as some caches i found on the ground, being held up by nothing than a fishing line its no wonder. The bengello walk caches were slightly different, a hide id never seen before, but very creative so once i got the hide style, i cached quite quickly with my muggle bro. At bengello creek it was flooded past the walk-bridge so walked back to car, drove to broulee end and walked in the opposite direction. A good day trip from the ACT, thanks Youban. TFTC

Good cache
