Hi there Whitey Wiskas.

This is the 2nd of 4 caches we didn't find today. Twisted[:(!]

We spent quite some time here but couldn't locate your cache, so here's a DNF from us. Twisted

Regards
Ian and Penny

Looked for a long while, searched wide and high. But no luck. I circled where I suspected a dozen times, and started picking up trash, but nothing with a logbook inside.

No flying foxes like we encountered in Lismore a few weeks ago - had to throw out a singlet top after it was doused!
A nice and inventive use of the car part Razz
Thanks Whitey Wiskas.

Samuel and I hit the town on mountain bikes after breakfast. It was just prior to the shops opening, so was nice and quiet initially. We ended up with 8 finds, plus a handful of GA virtual stuff as well, we were a tad disappointed with our 4 DNFs.....
Pretty tricky for a 1.5/1.5? I discarded the cache as rubbish, twice! Samuel took a closer look and made his Dad look dopey.... TFTC!

Out and about caching today while visiting Tamworth. A cold winters day, can not wait to get back to warmer weather. Arrived at GZ and in short time found. Much appreciated. TFTC

Another lovely sunny winter's day caching in and around Tamworth. Appreciate the COs who have placed and maintained the caches in this area as it does enhance our visit here. Thanks and happy caching!

After a quick recharge for lunch, we headed out again in Tamworth to grab a few in the city. Found the container but could not open it. Left it and went to the nearby cache while sending the CO a message. A quick reply had us with the right container, unfortunately 'Bill' from Di Morgan could not get it open. Mrs Snakepitters had to do it. Log signed and replaced.

We had planned a trip to Tamworth caching. We have met up with the Snakepitters for the 2 days,
We had made a plan & headed out of town to the new set of caches that have been placed since we were here last year. Its great to see all the new grass in the paddocks a sit was so dry previously.
A good morning out & in the afternoon we headed into town & then out to Oxley corner.
A wonderful day touring Tamworth.

This was a most unusual container which we contacted the CO about. The 2 men on the team were so weak that they were unable to open it.
It took Mrs Snakepitter to open it. This cache is worthy of a FP
Thankyou for placing this cache Whitey Wiskas

Thanks for providing an interesting spot to visit

First attempt before the CM festival. A bit of vegetation destruction prevented any useful attempt, which may have been from a recent storm with branches broken.Will attempt again during festival,tftc

This is a great spot to come cache hunting during the week - quiet and plenty of parks. Weekends with sport, not so great.

We knew Tamworth's flying fox population (which looked like it was on par with the people population) was working it's way into the city but today.... not a single bat. I wasn't disappointed. A quick find of the cache with a container we hadn't seen used before. Cool Our second {FTF} today at 12.32pm. TFTC Whitey.
