Mangrove Swamp Walk V2.0 Gladesville, New South Wales, Australia
By Pyobeon on 09-May-20. Waypoint GC8QJVE

The best laid plans... yes this has taken much longer than I expected. I fear it will take at least another month to do something creative, but realistically it will probably be longer. I decided to archive it. When I have more time, if the spot is still available, I'll create version 3!

Unfortunately it is missing again. I have an idea for anew hide but it may take a few weeks to sort out.

I searched for 20 minutes for this one without any luck, but so really enjoyed the area

Sadly didn't find on our trip from the states. Cool trail though

Arriving at GZ with the muddy dirt drying on our clothes after an unsuccessful attempt at Equipe de Fous cache in this same park, this was a bit of a lark. No muggles and Mrs Gaztek unbelievably put her hand on the container in the first place she tried. Clever attachment. And with some clean water this place must have been spectacular at one time. As it is, it is still very pretty and peaceful. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Cache replaced

Cache retrieved but not replaced as the things I took with me were not adequate. Probably another fortnight until it is back.

Was checking up on the cache and found it here could the next person try and grab it we couldn’t reach.

Oh no. That looks pretty bad. I won't be able to get to this until next weekend at the earliest. from the photo it looks like the attachment point has fallen off with the cache - hard to tell. If so, and someone rescues it, it probably won't reattach. So I'll disable for now. If someone rescues it and it does reattach, please let me know.

Our beloved cache - was so glad to see it reinstated! Alas couldn’t find it in the spot where we used to see it for years. Missing again, or maybe the spot we were accustomed to finding it wasn’t actually the right one! Had a good look in other spots but no luck. Let us know if it’s still intact and we’ll try again! Thanks for reviving this one to get people to this magic spot. xx

Wasn't obvious to us. Will have to go back!

incredible sompot to come on a beautiful night thank you. Put the effort in to make the find. Fav for the spot

Yea Finally Found it

Fun little spot and great walk!

Thanks For placing and maintaining The Traditional Cache Pyobeon.

Found with [@coybear2000](http://coord.info/PR9547H) . We were in the area and had done a nearby, so we continued our walk and tried for this one. Once at GZ we soon found the hide but had a slight mishap and we had to retrieve it. Log signed and all replaced and we headed back to the car. TFTC.

As we were in the area for another cache, [@trodectus](http://coord.info/PR8JTE0) and I headed for this one. Once at GZ, after a slight mishap, cache was retrieved, log signed and returned. TFTC

Cache check. All ok.

Cache check. All ok

Awesome spot but no luck for me. (

Did not find it! Was with one muggle and we went back twice and didn’t see anything. First DNF feeling kinda defeated

I returned with daylight, a light source and a few other tools, but still came up empty handed and more than a little queasy from hanging upside down. Another one has beaten me

I came up empty handed, but I ran out of light and wasn't really prepared for the search. Worth a return visit when I'm better prepared.

DNF avenged! Arrived early enough to allocate extra time set aside for this hide.
Parked van in the closest possible spot in the park and grabbed the mirror on a stick out of the glovebox.
Lite drizzle started whilst walking down the timber stairs onto the elevated boardwalk. Even if I DNF again, I don’t mind walking down here.
Started my detail search from first point of the square and performed a detail search with my TOTT that I grabbed. Surprised myself, as it didn’t take too long before CIH. Unsure about Paul the Hippy’s note as a red herring in the logs, unless the container has changed, but smiles all round, thanks Pyobeon

Checked the cache and all is well

Chose here for my before work find for the day. GPS had me in all 4 corners and even to the flowing creek, thus started at the creek before entering the boardwalk square, and simply ran out of time. This one has me intrigued now, I’ll definitely return soon

Spent the afternoon in the area caching but unfortunately didn't find any of the caches we went after. In between rain showers searched high and low to no avail. Called in a PAF, but even with that, we couldn't make the find. In the end, the heavens opened up, so we will have to come back for this one.

Checked on cache and it is there. It wasn’t replaced quite right. Please check the hint before replacing and use that means of attachment. It may take little exploring of the surfaces to understand how this works. The anchoring points are on the structure not the cache so it needs to be put back in exactly the right place.

Couldn’t find it for the life of me. I think I had the clue figured out and based on what others have said it should have been obvious. I’ll take another crack in a couple of months with fresh eyes.

Hmm no luck for us, and so many muggles today. This sort of hide perhaps needs a D3, We'll be back with a better tool.

Took us a hot minute! Thanks for the cache!

Very cool Kanye!

My family and I couldn’t find this cache
We checked everywhere, but we couldn’t see anything. The walk was really nice though, I think we’ll come back again
TFTC!

Sneaky sneaky. I enjoyed this one and the area seems really far Iliad so I’m sure I found the predecessor. A great place for a cache, and a peaceful walk during spring lockdown TFTC. I’m always a big fan of re-using a great location when older caches get archived. I’ve done the same for many of my locations. Thought I would be eaten by mozzies here but strangely no bites. Must be all the scotch I’ve been drinking making me taste bad.

Gee that took some time to find. So many people around. Favourite for the location. Square in the boardwalk was strange. Tftc

Last cache for the day. Parked and followed the track in. Got to GZ and found in the first place i checked, thanx to the coords. Had a spider on it which i flicked off. SL and replaced. Lovely area around here. TFTC.

Today we headed over to Ryde to grab some caches that we had either missed on previous visits to the area, or were new publications since our last visit. This was the 2nd of 6 finds, and 3 DNF's, for the day.

After completing "The Big Rock" MultiCache we next came to this Traditional cache. We had DNFed the original version of this one some three years ago, and never returned for another go at it, so were wondering if we would be any more successful with this new version today.

Followed the boardwalk out to a familiar GZ, and amazingly we had CIH within a couple of minutes. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Pyobeon.

Find #4602

Great spot. Thank you for setting it up.

Out this way for duke of ed and saw there was a cache here, so I had to get it. The mangrove walk is so nice, thanks for taking me here! TFTC!

Find #: 2,467
Companions: None
Muggles: A few walkers
Weather: Overcast spring morning
Cache condition: Good

I had an errand to run in the area, so decided to go for a jog 'n cache. I was soon at GZ, and after a family walking on the tracks passed started the search, and soon had CIH - TNLNSL. Thanks, cool spot!

Enjoyed this one a lot.

The parade of muggles made searching a little bit tricky, but in the end it turned out to be more or less where it had too be.

A really clever little hide, I might steal the idea...

Tftc.

After a search, I capitulated and rang a PAF, who pointed out where we needed to concentrate our search, and there it was.Thanks for hiding the cache.

Very Nice

A beautiful spot, particularly after crossing the bridge and looking down in the creek from up high. Unfortunately couldn't locate the cache. Hopefully next time!

This was a nice beautiful walk along the path down to the mangrove swamp. We missed the stairs downhill and took a more straight forward path down.As soon as we reached GZ the cache was found. Took the stairs on the way back

A beautiful day for a walk and I had this park in mind. I have family nearby and Mangrove Swamp Walk V2.0 also kindly offered the one wonder of the ancient world I was missing: Zeus, king of the gods of Mount Olympus.

The park and playgrounds were overflowing with happy children and their carers, but the boardwalk area was deserted. I enjoyed having a good look at the swamp, which, somewhat amazingly, doesn't smell swamp-like at all. ???

A great spot for a hide. I think I may have done an earlier version in a similar location.

Thank you, Pyobeon

In the area for a nearby mystery so spotted this and headed over. On getting to GZ there were thoughts of having been here before and reading the cache page confirmed it. Had to wait out some muggle including one falling off the board walk. A yellow pages moment to come up with the hide and completed the signing duties.

Tftc

This cache was awesome and we were so glad we came here to find it. We love coming here and hope we can come back

#myfirstfind...obsessed to find the next!

smart! very clever location! .. beautiful walk through the mangroves.

Tried while doing GNW. We looked for a while but no luck. I forgot to upload to my GPS so was going by phone only.

After some vital DVD shopping, and a spot of lunch, I headed towards a familiar location for today's cache hunt.

Parked on the Field Of Mars side of Pittwater Road - the free parking area - and made my way to GZ.

A family was just ahead of me on the boardwalk, so I held back - but then another appeared behind me. So I checked out the view of the river - as another family approached from the other side. And finally another family appeared behind me. Is this lunch time in Pitt Street Mall?

Amazingly, after that no one else turned up for the 15 minutes it took me to finally track this one down.
It certainly wasn't where I found V1.0, nor was it a similar container.

But I got there in the end. Took to the far side to complete signing duties well away from GZ. Then back for the replace.

Headed back to *The Hademobile*, then away home.

A return visit for a long search that took a phone call to uncover.

Nice find

Found good cache

Much easier to find V2 than the original. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Pyobean

I missed V1.0 somehow, but this one was an instant find in apparently the same spot. Nice park. TFTC

A quick find here as I remember visiting a few years ago for the OG

Oce the Bebes to clear a few new caches. Had this one previously (1.0). Nice spot. Tftc

Joint {FTF} with Boogie Rogue and Jack Scruff. OMG so after a few months of not geocaching due to covid 19 restrictions, it took 4 of us and over 1hr to find it. We didn't have our caching brains switched on. How did we keep missing it.

Cheers for the cache. Good to be back caching.

Joint {FTF} with BoogieRogue and Morry9 - not what I expected to be doing today!

With a sudden burst of rain plans changed so I was at home when this was published. I had a quick look at my log for version 1.0 and saw I did the whole escapade in 40 minutes round trip and it was easy.
OK so today it took 1.5 hours and this time there were 4 of us. Obviously with a severe lack of caching over the last couple of months our caching skills have gone out the window as we took sooo long to eventually find what was actually a normal and simple hide.

None of us could remember the previous hide, not that would have helped but I did expect that 5 years after the first find here and 3001 caches later I'd have done better here.

Ah well, just glad we can get out caching again.
