By bgmat on 09-May-19. Waypoint GC87H4C

quick and easy find, thanks for the cache!

3rd time lucky with a bit of help from CO.

Went to this one twice, still cant find it

we drove near the cache and found it. got the log out and signed it. then we put it all back where we found it.it was EXTREMELY small

Thank you for this cache, I know a rant should follow for the Nano but success is where I am at. Now if this was a cannon ....... a different story.

Nice hide!TFTC

Deja vu?

I cant believe I actually found this on my first quick look! Considering I hate micros and caches in this type of structure! I must have worked out what the hint meant. Not sure Ill get to find the whole series seeing we are only in Adelaide for a few days for the Great Leap Forward event.

Just did a 9 km hike in the Anstey Hill area, and now Im hitting some suburban hides.No problems here.

Found and signed. TFTC!

With the experience and knowledge of the last nano, I took a few corners and arrived at this one. Same deal, walked up and grabbed the cache. The lid opened easy on this and and whaddyaknow, a fresh roll to boot.

Signed and returned as found. Thanks for the cache bgmat. Find #8819

Back from 6 weeks remote and log is now replaced. Clean and ready for the next nano finder

Logbook full. No further space to sign. CO to replace with new log

Saturday afternoon out clocking up caches towards my next milestone!

Nano's are either your friend or foe. I think Freddo would agree that this one is our foe After trying as I might but also being aware of losing daylight, I used PAF by two previous finders and between them both a successful find was achieved!

South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Let's show the rest of the Geocaching world what Australia is made of at The Great Leap Forward!

A quick find, sign & return here today……..log is full. Could do with replacing however I don’t carry any spare Nano logs with me

And, now for the compulsory nano rant: "Nanos Bloody Nanos! Infuriating to find, infuriating to sign and infuriating to roll. Spawn of satan. Burn down the Nano factory, and exterminate anyone who hides Nanos."

TFTC

Hmmmm

Quicker than we thought. So many possible places. Log is very full. TFTC

Out for a walk with my friends kids to find a few caches. I quickly had this one in hand. TFTC bgmat

Day out having lunch and geocaching with sandelf and Marlee126. Back for a second look at this one, followed the clue and found it easily. TFTC bgmat

Found with Peas&CarrotsForever & sandelf nice & quick this time.

TYFC out with Peas&CarrotsForever and Marlee126

My first ever find!
Saw it was at my local bus stop and had to try! Took a while but when I finally found it I felt so accomplished! TFTC!

Caught up with Mattycat for another tuesday adventures focusing on Ansty hill and some nearby caches, this was a quick find for us as we inched closer to our starting point for todays hike
TFTC bgmat

A quick stop and find, on way elsewhere. Tftc

Had a quick stop here before an appointment, thought I understood the hint, but still didn't find it. Bus stop has recently been painted, so hoping cache hasn't gone missing.

Couldn't find today.

Only one of the three goals from last year achieved. So once again trying and fill my calendar with multi-caches and complete loop 11 again this year. [^] For my third goal I will try and get my DNF numbers to single digits. That should keep me busy again this year! [:o)]

Another Wednesday wander for the Befuddled Puzzle Solvers. once again it was Me, Blackadders and SA. Sewer Rats cruising around the burbs in search of solved puzzles and another others that popped up on our GPSr along the way.[^] There were the usual laughs but I am happy to report no blood, falls or ripped clothing was the cause today.

Another quick find in this series.

***Thanks bgmat for putting out this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment. ***
Logs prepared and published through GSAK.

A quick find on the way to work today.

Very cold this morning.

Log book needs replacing.

TFTC

Replaced Log , all ready for the next nano finder.

Ahh, who doesn't love a micro cache? TFTC!

After reading logs on these types it was a quick grab as not many places it could be. Log book is full. TFTC

Found it

TFTC

Oh look, an empty bus stop with no one waiting. Time to get your cache
A quick find with good instructions

Thank you bgmat for another big smiley on our geomap



"A cache a day keeps the doctor away" - even a nano!



---
2020 won. it's not over yet!
- - search at a social distance wherever you can - -

Keep away from the nasty bugs ( except travel bugs of course )
- keep a distance from people as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
- go out and place some new caches in our regional areas where it's safer away from bugs!!

After the nearby Vegan event where no one ate Vegan I decided to spend the rest of the day collecting caches in the Northern suburbs. Found 20 or so and managed to avenge some prior dnf which was great. Managed to get sun burn on my neck what a change in the weather to yesterday.
This was my first cache find of the day and found in the first place I felt. Splendid. TFTC BGMAT

Tftc

Man, this is a tough find, could not find it. Sorry.

This evening, I headed towards Tea Tree Gully to target the new Adventure Lab in that little town village. It was a nice evening, and I managed to do a few other geocaches in the area before heading north-west towards Redwood Park and finally to Brahma Lodge, before heading home.

So after having a DNF here five months ago, I was back again to have another look and avenge my DNF. In the end, I managed to find this cache within a minute. So what was my issue the first time around? Well, I really need to learn the difference between north and south, as it may seems. Perhaps my compass was being wacky and point to the opposite direction. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks bgmat for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

A little log for a little cache. Cheers cobber.

Quick easy find thanks for the caché

Quick Find TFTC

Grabbing a couple of caches in the North Eastern suburbs. Cold, wet, winter day so good day to find caches around these structures.

Helpful hint made for a quick find.

Obligatory rant: Let's find and destroy the nano factory before anymore kittens needlessly die.

Thanks for the cache bgmat.
# # #6638 # #

I needed a puzzle and a multi today and Rex needed a run, too
So we headed to the Golden Grove dog park and from there, expanded our area to find 6 caches too

Quick find of a nano because we all know they are logical

TNLN. SL. TFTC bgmat

Nanos - a waste of time and space! Why would you bother??? Except for the smiley.
Thankfully, I knew where this was hidden, so didn't have to spend time in the rain looking. Glad to put a smiley on the map - the only thing a nano is good for!

Don't you hate it when someone steals your cache, has a guilty conscience, and then returns it just before the CO performs a maintenance check

I'll try harder next time I guess...

Cache checked. It is all present and correct, tucked away in its little hide waiting for the next nano finder.

Today with COVID-19 requirements still in effect, but fitness still being promoted, I decided to head to Anstey Hill Recreation Park for some solo mountain biking. I hadn't ridden here in years (actually I've only ridden once when MTBs were first allowed in Anstey around 2015), and so needed to refresh myself with some of the main riding trails. I parked at the visitor's car park off North East Road, and took a few tracks and trails towards the Ridgetop Track, before riding across, and then taking the "Grand Canyon downhill" track. I then headed est along those peaks/ridges, and took a real sketchy track down (I do recall riding that one before). It just started getting dark as I was near below, and with a few final walks and geocache finds, I was back at the car as the sun started to set. I couldn't believe how many people were about today, probably enjoying fitness whilst trying to maintain social distancing. A nice day out, with a few kangaroos spotted around too.

This was to be my first cache find for today, but alas, I couldn't find the sneaky bugger! I checked a few spots, and found what seemed to be the right place for a nano cache that matched the hint, but alas no go. Perhaps nano creep? I could say that I suspect this cache being missing, but maybe I was just off my game at the beginning of today. Thanks anyway bgmat.

Mr Tardis was heading for a nearby event this morning, and stopped by here to find this one. I found the cache thanks to the hint.

Every time you hide a nano the Daleks exterminate a kitten.

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache bgmat.

Fortunately I arrived at the same time as a bus, so there go all the muggles. TFTC.

Another beaut day for a bike ride took me to the foothills this morning
Conveniently close to this location where not only a traditional cache (this one) awaited me,
but the next installment of a multi-cache awaited me

This cache was noice and easy to find
Slippery little bugger isn't it
And after signing the logbook,
and finding all the bits,
I put it back and took note of a nearby number

So TFTC !!

I'm headed back home now,
and will be dropping by the final location for the multi tomorrow,
as it's just around the corner from home [:o]

Found during a few hours caching in the north-eastern suburbs. I think I saw Kayche20 leave just as I pulled up. Thanks for the cache bgmat!

My first nano for the year/ decade. Woo hoo!
TFTC

Out & about collecting caches on the last day of 2019...
A quick find...another nano??? yes that's right another one...
TFTC bgmat

A hot arvo so what do you do? Cache of course
Tftc

Had to drop one of the Famous IV off at her friend's place this afternoon, so rather than driving back to the other side of the City and then driving back, decided to grab an even dozen caches in the TTG area and spend a bit of time in the beer garden at the TTG Hotel watching the last few wickets in the first test fall. I'll need to go back though as I forgot to get the numbers to help me with the associated multi. TFTC

This was the second last cache of the trads in this series, another nice quick find today

Today I headed out to complete my last bit of uni placement for the year. On the way home I detoured to collect a few caches.

Thank for the cache

Found It!
Bloody nanos. You know the rest...
TFTC

Found with vj187. A quick find. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. TFTC

Came back the next day to get the find! First nano find, TFTC

Really wanted to find this one, never found a nano before, looked absolutely everywhere but couldnt find!!!

Find 2995

Not another nano found after Sunday morning football spectating at Tea Tree Gully.

Thanks to bgmat for the cache and using another potential Reel cache location.

He who procrastinates has to find another location to hide his cache.

Reel Fine Elsewhere

A nice asy one

A nice easy park and grab.

[Insert Nano Rant Here]

Thanks for the cache bgmat.
Found on 1 Aug 2019 at 7:37 pm.
Find #9128

On the way to sport with Csaba! and a few stops needed to be made. Tra La Laaa

Drive by cache with SupaOrange. Great hint. Thanks

I had come out north today to help earthlight with some puzzle solving and after that was done we went for a drive so I could find a few caches. [^]

I had already solved and found #6 of this series so thought it would be a good idea to find the remaining 5. This was the third one and an easy find right where the hint said it would be. Took note of the required info for the multi. [^]

Thanks for the cache bgmat.

Nano? Who said nano. How many places did we really have to look? Excellent clue.

Thanks bgmat and clear skies from TeamAstro. ️ Cache the planet!

Ok we were getting the hang of this by now. A nice quick grab. TFTC

Thanks for the hint. Helped a lot.

Found in rain so sheltered in a good spot. Cache ok. TFTC

Yet another blasted Spawn Of Satan has been located lol .
Again... immediately, in the 1st place i felt thanks to "loSE" [^]

SL of the undesired object, it would seem, at 10:35 on the cold and wet, Saturday the 29th of June 2019.
Actually to be honest the scrolls in these nanos are quite easy to get out and replace i have found so far [^]

The 3rd Nano Rant for my find in this series today is.....

Spending the day suburban caching with CPwanderer and clare007.
Quickly located thanks to the hint.

TFTC bgmat

Easy find with Gizmos Gang and clare007!! The hint certainly narrowed it down!! Thanks for the hide!!

Out in the burbs with CPwanderer & Gizmo's Gang.
Nanos aren't my favourite sized cache, but the hint lead to a quick find.
Thanks for the hide bgmat

Saw this series in the area we were caching today, so did the rounds, doing the usual 'Japanese tourist' thing on the way [8].
Waited for the family in the front yard across the road to leave before making the find [8)].
TNLNSL.
Thanks Bgmat.

Quick find and sign as we had done another in the series. Thanx

Wait for it.

Unfortunately was a bit busy when these came out so couldn't try for a FTF.
Thanks to the hint was a quick find so will restrain from any nano rant.
Thanks for the cache bgmat anyway

Started this series at #1, which turned out to be the logical choice for later! The first 4 nanos were found easily right where the hint said.
TNLNSL
Thanks

Another find to Dr Owl. Another nano, this is becoming boring.

Thanks for the cache bgmat.

Silver for the partial animals. Getting the hang of these!

A wet and cold day for the usual Puzzled Puzzler menagerie of animals. With two of the team unable to make the day the trio consisted of an Owl, Korf and an Adder.

A joint Silver podium finish for us all and wonder how long the log will last before it is full.

Thanks for the new series which we thought would have had all the podium finishes filled.

Thanks for the fun little series.

On my way for blood tests at Modbury Hospital. Flu discounted but more tests required. This one of this series was closest to home, the sun was out so a quick stopover was required. Thanks bgmat for the cache to keep my spirits up.

So who does like nano's? Please stand up! Here's your chance! Clear skies!!

Published

Six new nano caches at once came out while I was in a meeting.

I started with the puzzle and managed to solve and then find that.

And then the multi beckoned. But as I was in the area it seemed only reasonable to go for the full set. So off I set.

This was the third of the trads I found. Having found the first two I was on a roll when searching here.

Did I mention I hate removing tight fitting logbooks from nanos?

No??

Well I do!

Every single time!!

TFTC yet again bgmat
