Ramp It Up Reservoir, Victoria, Australia

Very frustrating that I cant find it because no muggle this area at 3-3:30pm ?? may its lost.. ??

I found this cache on my Mega Walk #28 - a 23,000 step walk through Hawkestowe, South Morang and Keon Park. After hoping a bus from Childs Road in South Morang to Lalor and a train to get to Keon Park, it was intersting to see the work here at the new station and the level crossing removal. Once at GZ, I had the place to myself and located this one. As I passed the park again on the train back to Flinders Street, there was someone now playing basketball near GZ so I dodged a muggle there Thanks from D B-A

A thorough look in the dark tonight, but no luck at all

Couldn't not find it

I luck today.. too hot to be standing in the sun hunting for more than 15 mins..

30 mins. No joy: David

Once again too many kids playing , didnt even try looking

Had a good hunt around but no luck today.

Tough search here for me with skate boarders who even asked if I was ok. I told them exactly what I was doing so as not to scare them with my geocaching tricks! I look where I would put it but found nothing. Read the logs and got a tip from them about a gym. People were saying they found it in the obvious spot. Well I found it in the third most obvious spot for me so that sounds bad for my geocaching skills. Thanks!

Upon walking to this location I had little faith after a recent DNF. Needless to say, I’m glad I’m not a gym junky and had cache in hand in no time. Cheers

Had a pretty solid look with no muggles around, but my little fella was getting bored so had to abort.

No one skateboarding thank goodness. Just a couple of young ones practising their shots on the basketball court nearby. They were too involved with their practise to notice me. I soon found the cache and had the log signed. TFTC

The last find of the very long walking afternoon in the very cholly weather.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today, for without those who like to hide geocaches, there would be nothing around for those who like to find geocaches.

Found by Omegaman1971

Found after looking in the most obvious location, Cheers for the cache napier92.

Out and about with My good caching mate Omegaman1971, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles.

This is one of the caches found today.

Thanks napier92 for the cache.

In the area today so thought I’d pop by and grab a few caches. All the kids were at school (I hope) so it was muggle free. TFTC

A thorough search of the structure soon turned up this blighter.
Thank you for placing this cache napier92.

This one has been on my “To Do” list for quite a while. It’s good to finally check it off.
Each time I’ve come here there’s been too many muggles to even attempt looking. Managed to come passed while it was empty. Coords are spot on and it took no time at all before I had it in hand.
TFTC

No kids were around at around 4pm, so I made a quick find. TFTC

Found it with Monsqueaky.
Good one

Found it

Tnx es 73

Suscoe was having a day out in Melbourne before heading to a music concert this evening.
The weather was still in this cold and rainy Summer mode.
It was an enjoyable day to be out and about with reasonable traffic to deal with.

Thanks to napier92 for this hide.
A clever spot.

Coords bounced around a bit but KK’ soon put her hands on it.

Thanks for getting me out and about napier92

Whittlesea Mega
Great to attend the Victorian Mega. Found with Joolay and mates. Sneaky but we found it. Met up with some very interested.muggles who I think will join the game.

Thanks for the hide napier92

Dropped the gf off at yoga, then strolled up the road for this find. Coords spot on, and early on a Sunday morning, no muggles around at all! Thanks for the excuse to visit this nice park on a beautiful day!

Nice find, was a big cob-websy tho tftc

Found this today doing a nice drive around finding more geocaches.

Quick easy find Today while the kids played I looked cool half pipe

Ye

Found it , thanks

Our first find!! Super excited! Thanks for making this!!! <3

Coming back home from Melbourne

Dromaniax was keen to head up to Melbourne to visit a few Virtuals, labs and a cache or two with a few Late night shenanigans.
With the previous DNF we thought we’d be here for a while. But we were able to make a quick find.

Thanks for the Traditional Cache napier92

AusFox; and Mr Dromaniax set out for an evening of caching. Targets for the night were some Virtuals, an Adventure Lab or two and maybe a couple of other random caches.

One of the goals we have is to find caches in all the Local Government Areas of Victoria. This cache is in the second last one for us on the list.

We parked nearby and made our way to GZ. It was a nice quick find a dnthe cache was in excellent condition.

Thank you for this cache napier92

My 3rd time here.. looked in every single spot I could think of . . A better hint please please

A quick and easy find at tea time on Sunday afternoon… only one muggle here practicing hoops. He didn’t take any notice of us.
TFTC

Finally found this it was actually quiet when we passed so able to finally have a good search

Stealth definitely needed to get around the skaters!

About time I returned to turn a frown into a smile, took a little while and a lot of feeling around but a great find in the end. Thank you napier for getting me back and for your great cache.

Far few people around so stealth was needed.

Ramped up the search as rain was starting. One basketball hoop shooter gave up with the dark & wet. Otherwise all good at GZ. TFTC

Found by an 8 yr old in less than 5mins. Schooled her old man

Have had a search here but could not find it. It’s probably best to do this one early to avoid muggle skaters.

Dark

Found with Fluffyninjapants after an intense search and fended off some tiny curious onlookers.

A real goody. Took a while but Mr FNP finally found it! Found with HPF. A few mini muggles around but they didn’t pay us too much attention. Too small for them to tamper with this cache anyway ️

We don’t travel to this part of the city very often, so when we do I try to find a cache or two in the vicinity while we’re here. Today I managed to get two! The last person trying to find it registered a DNF, so I was apprehensive. There were Muggles everywhere, but they all seemed engrossed in their own activities. I followed the finding device until I was within a metre or two of GZ then, taking the advice of the hint narrowed the search to one particular area. I was relieved when The-Evil-Muggle found it within seconds. He was obviously searching in a different area than I was. I was so pleased to be able to record a find here.

I hope it's because of the showers I just cant find this one, my knees and shoes are wet and now a big shower is passing through. I'll be back napier92 for another go.

Go hard or go home

I was tempted to show the two young lads how it’s done. But decided to search for the cache instead. Searched in all the obvious spots, then Geoturtle37 spotted it. A quick retrieval and sign without any muggles in sight - the 2 young ones weren’t paying us any attention. They were too busy trying (unsuccessfully) to stay on their boards.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache, napier92

This could have been so much harder. We were lucky to arrive with only two youngish boys using the ramps and they definitely had any interest in us. They seemed to be having more trouble staying on their boards than we had with the cache.
We looked everywhere we thought which only left one more place to find. Yay, cache found, signed and returned with no troubles. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks

Out with xambo4u for our first day of caching since the covid lockdown, we felt free again.
We searched all the obvious places, then started over again. Xambo4u had the keen eye to spy the cache. Thanks napier92.

Out and about today with echidna44 escaping for our first time since lock down. Ventured North to continue our clear out of the area. Very chilly morning today. Very lucky as there was no one here this morning. Thought we were in for a long search but we got lucky. Excellent hide. Very tricky de[ending on your timing. Thanks for the cache napier92

Long search in all obv places

No one in sight, found it after abit of ducking and weaving!! TFTC

I was amazed that there was no one on this fun thing doing stuff I would break my neck doing. I found the cache just as a chap turned up with his skateboard. Just in the nick of time.

3rd time past here, always someone on the ramps, just can’t even look for it without attracting attention .

After a quick search soon had the cache in hand on a damp morning cycle

Still a frown, a good day to be around. I'll be back.
Greytiger

Found in a surprisingly quiet area on a sunny day. TFTC.

TFTC. A great hide. Signed and returned.

Morning walk took us last this cache with no one around for a change so we took the opportunity to grab it. Took a little longer than it should as I was sure i had already checked the location it was eventually found in. Tftc

23:00
No teenagers to contend with at stupid o'clock on New Year's Day, so I had the place to myself after driving across to see if I could get today's souvenir.

Thanks, napier92. Exactly where I expected it might be upon arrival, though I had to check a couple of times before confirming that fact.

Happy New Year.

I thought I'd get there early today for a look, after about 10 minutes the scaters started to arrive so I thought I will return another day.
Greytiger

Too many muggles around today playing and around the area so a return trip soon.
Greytiger

Couldn’t find it today, there were lots of muggles about. We will be back, with our more stealthy team member!!

Too many muggles at GZ so will return later

Full of Xmas food and cheer so decided to get outdoors for a little light exercise in the evening and check out a few of the new caches in Reservoir. No sooner had I returned to the car to map out the next cache and the muggles left. With the coast clear I fluked the find with the first location I checked. TFTC. Merry Christmas everyone!

So many possibilities so little time. But eventually I found this little sucker. Luckily there were no muggles about when I arrived at GZ. TFTC.

Thankfully no kids around today. A nice hide.

Find number 8017 at 4:53:21 pm
I needed a quick cache on the way home from work to maintain my streak and this one looked pretty good until I pulled up. Damn, I thought, this could take a month, I thought.
I worked out roughly where I thought it might be and had a bit of a look and then I moved a little and bingo, one lucky peek and spotted a odd shape. Sure enough, there it was.

But looking at how thick the black paint is around this structure it appears the before DIGS, others have had there best work hidden under this ubiquitous black coverage.

FTF No 102 by Mr80

**Find #3061**

Was on a day off work and got the email. So I jumped on the geo-motorcycle and headed for GZ in the off chance of an FTF. Parked the bike right at GZ and to my surprise I was in the company off Geo-caching Royalty The Bananas. After a brief search we soon had the Prize. Was it it First Prize? No. Silver medal for us today. Nice sneaky hide.

Thanks **napier92**
