Had a look but alas couldn't find it this morning. I think it's probably there, but my caching eye isn't working properly!
Another day without commitments, so decided to head to Byford area and clear some of the many caches I have not had the chance to clear before.
Nice location

Thanks NancyBludgeon for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 10:51:00. This was my Find 19 for today out of a Total number of 51 Finds and 3 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.
This find brings my total number of Finds to 5821.
Found today with geoson. Wasn’t in the place we thought. Had to look a bit smaller. TFTC nice hide.
The shrubs are in flower the bees are very active and the best we can got for with a GPS is 3 to 5m. This leaves so many places to search it's like a needle in a haystack. Luck for me there was no one on the play equipment so at least I could look unfettered but I still didn't find the cache.
Time to stop for the day. It's getting a bit frustrating in Byford.

Out for the day doing some suburban caching with 26 finds and a new record of 8 DNFs.
Weather was overcast and threatening more rain after bucketing down early this morning so threw the raincoats in the car and set off towards Byford to hopefully clean up the map some more. We got very lucky with only a few sprinkles during the day but not so lucky with too many DNFs.
This should have been an easy find as the CO has just replaced but we were not sure if the GZ was still correct and we had no idea if we were looking at ground level or a bison in a tree??
It's been replaced so recently so no doubt it is there but we could not claim a smiley on this one!

Great little cache! Night caching with tje kiddies. Good little find on our way home
Had to dodge the sprinklers a little here, the only thing I was able to locate was an improvised smoking device, SirFancy on the other hand spotted the cache and added our names to the log.

Another Tuesday caching night with Cirrus_WA, we decide to hit up BYFORD.
12 finds 1 DNF not bad night with a pretty good breeze made it even better. Lots of neighing from the local horses and a lot of barking from the local dogs.
This is my 1251 find.
Thank you NancyBludgeon for placing and maintaining this cache.
Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!

Hi there NancyBludgeon. I had need to head to Byford for some shopping today and came out here hoping for a quick find which it was. I dutifully signed the log and removed a drink bottle (10c for me ) dumped in the garden. I found this cache at 04:22PM after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to NancyBludgeon for this cache - our find 9635 and the 1st of 1 finds for the day.
Cache has been replaced and added some more little cards.
Hopefully this one will be longer lived.

Out and about doing a bunch of caches in Byford today. Ended up with 30 finds and 1 DNF. Most caches found in good condition and replaced as found.
Had a decent look but no find for me today.

This hint proved the most frustrating of the day. Once I read it I signed to Everlasting to get out of the car and help. She was the one who spotted the container and I retrieved it. Thanks for the cache.
Yesterday the weather was stormy and rain so badly but today the weather was lovely warm and excellent for geocaching..
We decided to go to Armadale and Byford due to many new caches there... we real enjoyed "search, found and signed the log"
Thanks NancyBludgeon for organising the cache and hunt. [^]

A nice little series showcasing the area.
TFTC NancyBludgeon this is find #11482 for us.

After grabbing the joint FTF i carried on and picked up the 3 new caches that came out last night. I must admit this one took a bit of searching to find TFTC NancyBludgeon
Catching up on my online logs.
The Better Half and I didn't notice the notifications of these new caches for some time after they were published so debated whether to make the drive or not but in the end went for a drive anyway.
We arrived at this cache to see lights of another searcher and joined the search. After a bit of searching the bushes I noticed the cache in the torchlight and found a blank log so joint *FTF* with the others.
Thanks NanyBludgeon for placing this cache for us to find.
We decided not to do the other new ones as it was getting a bit late after we talked for a bit.
