I found the cache easily but being able to sign it was a very different story. The logbook was saturated and I didn't have a spare on me. Thanks anyway
Moved from Brighton to Hobart showground today out this afternoon for a few caches, TFTC cache was full of water , dried it as best as I could.
tassietan and I are out caching for the day and really enjoying the sunshine and the walk along the river.
Thanks TaurusSix and Diadem.
Thanks TaurusSix and Diadem.
Having a lovely walk along the banks of the Derwent today with RoadieM today. Lots of swans with cygnets on the water and these parents have been very successful having raised 4 babies. Also a pelican in the background. Lots of rocks to choose from here, but made a quick find nonetheless. TFTC and the walk.
Stayed nearby and it was great to be able to do a few caches close to "home"
Windy but great to be outside for a while.
Thank you for hiding this one

We went for a short walk along the river from our Airbnb and made a quick find. Thanks for the cache
It would be nice if a train was still running along here lovely views to mass. TFTC
An interesting spot with those big holes in the rocks.
Starting at the wrong end I had been riding in the shade until just after this point. Even though it was early afternoon there was still frosty on the ground and even the rocks of the railway line had frost on them!!
Thanks for another quick find not quite where I thought it would be.

Today we decided to head to New Norfolk and surrounds and find a few more caches that we have not found and to make them a smilie. A great day out, not too cold, sun out allowed us to enjoy the great outdoors.
A great series, we enjoyed the walk along the path finding caches in different hides. We found all the caches which was great! Cache and contents were in excellent condition.
Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Back today, the last day of warmth for about a week before that looming season of Winter starts to infect the end of Autumn
I wanted to get all the hides i had to leave last time so i parked the GeoMobile safely off the road and started at this end for a much needed walk.
A quick find and sign of a cache / contents in great shape at 11:32 on Monday 19 April 2021.

out and about getting caches for the solar wonders of the world today, and this will be the fourth to log, TFTC TNLN log dry. a nice dry day before Easter.
Given we needed to replace 2 caches from this series of 12 caches, we thought it would be a good idea to do a check of all the caches.
Pleased to report all good with cache.

Decided to tackle the caches along this nice easy walk beside the river after finding a few here some years ago. Although it was a lovely day the search for this series of caches turned out to be a bit of a calamity. A nice easy find. TFTC.
All good with this cache, stepped over and back no train yet. All good with the hide and the cache, no breeze to speak of at all today. Thank you both for the series!!
Had a nice day for a walk and a series of caches that I needed to find. Wandered around track in no particular rush, just soaking in the sun, view and number of birds. Swans were common as I wandered along, especially a pair keeping pace with me going upstream as I wandered along.
Found all by one of the caches which I fear is missing

Just discovered a whole bunch of drafts I hadn't logged. Found on a pleasant walk with Mr H and young Yogi dog.

Have been wanting to do this series of caches for a long time as I drive past a lot for work but never seem to have the time. But today I hope to complete them all. TFTC
On the phone with a client but needed a walk tonight and a geocache find for my found date calendar. Nice night, clear and the start of warmer nights. Overshoot the mark and realised when i got to stone unnecessary engineering that i went too far. Cache was very easy to find, almost visible.

Hi Diadem
Needed to hunt plastic today and get some exercise, so this series made the hit list
My bike was extracted from the shed, the tyres pumped up and off we went
The cache was Sainted at 1410 hours with a quick find
There were plenty of muggles at the start of the track but few along the way
The weather was perfect which made the views really great
Using the bike, the first time in a long time, it made the trek a lot easier
Thanks for the series and the fun
Cheers OldSaint

We thought the wind would not be so bad today and we were hoping for great weather. Wind not too bad and the sun came out a few times! A nice walk and surprisingly no muggles apart from the first parking spot and a few at the second spot.
We were fairly lucky as we were able to follow the geotrail to most caches! Some of the lids on the containers were hard to get off.
Had to be careful crossing for this one but cache is in good order.

Today's caching was to be a bit of a loop round Bridgewater and New Norfolk to collect the new caches that have come out since I was last up this way.
I picked the Goose up at just after 9 and after a few caches on the North side of the river we had a lunch of Pizza at the market before finding a few on th way home, as a bonus there was a new GCA published and we just managed a FTF.
Another easy one this one.

This actually looked very natural but the hint made it clear.
With so many new caches, it was a pretty easy decision for our caching destination today. As is customary, stainless steel rat and I stopped for a takeaway coffee before heading to Bridgewater to do the trail there along the Derwent foreshore then up to New Norfolk for Pizza lunch at the market and a few more caches. We came down the western side of the river and picked up a couple more caches up in the hills on the way home.
Thanks for the cache Diadem

Hello Diadem thank you for the cache

TFTC found with AlbyDangles.
It was monthly BoysNightOut, but as there were just the two of us, we turned it into a caching mission.
Another nice quick find, we're enjoying the simple yet safe hides, and the thimbles!
Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix.
It's a magic Tassie Spring evening a caching stroll, along a popular track.
Cheers, EPs.

We arrived down South this afternoon with sufficient time to look for the caches in the recently published Derwent Views series. Despite a cool breeze, it was a pleasant walk along the track. There were a few muggles but they did not cause any hassles with each search. A combination of the hint and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix for this cache and the series.
Thanks for this series of caches Diadem and TaurusSix.
The GeoGSP and I walked this trail a few years ago looking for caches, and this is our first visit back since then. A lovely warm morning, we only saw one cyclist on our walk. No trouble finding this one.

It certainly wasn't where one would have expected from the clue it certainly wasn't where we were standing maybe if you were standing on the track it might be matched the clue and that's about all that matches.
Joint *FTF* @ 10.50 am with geochris. We met up with Chris near this cache and searched together to locate the cache. The hint threw us until Mrs W just used cacher's instinct and there it was. TFTC
