Dismissed it very easily after going straight to the obvious spot. Great hide!

Trees logs and sticks camo well done Tftc

Great little cache! With @Lacuna__

Oh man. Cache in hand almost immediately but placed down just as fast and dismissed! A little search elsewhere but back to the spot we initially thought. Oh. There. Duh!

Easy find thanks to a clue in a previous log

Neat trick TFTC

Thanks for the cache. A bit different to other nanos on this trail. Not my first run in either this sort of cache either. Signed and placed back

A great day out with geobuddy Davinells. Thanks for the cache and series. Cheers

Hi

In the area for a mountain bike orienteering event. Quick find. TFTC

Out caching with Mr CuriousQuest. This cache was quickly found and the log signed. TFTC

Today i was out with SelvaGirls to do some caching. We headed to the southside to this one. Another quick find log signed and then returned as found. TFTC

I was working in the neighbourhood so stop to find this one. I was needing 5 more caches in the Redlands LGA for a challenge. So I stop here to grab this cache. It was a quick find.
Oddiewan thank you for placing and maintaining this cache for the enjoyment of the Geocaching community.

Great hide! Brilliant hint and clever campaign. Found by my muggle sis in law! Thank you.

Way too tricky

This was a good hide. Bit of a search. TFTC

3.30pmOut for the day caching in the area with geofriends. Stopped for this cache and found it quickly. Log signed.Returned as found.Tftc

13/5/23 clever hide. TFTC

Tftc

Needed tweezers to access this log! Awesome Camo.

Tftc

TFTC!

TFTC

Both logs full, have put in a new sheet.

The wheel of challenge has set me on the desire of being sure to get 100 caches this month. I decided to use a part of the Redlands cycle way to get close to 20 caches today. So Mr 10 and I set off on our bikes.

The log is full. Managed to squeeze our name in though.

Found by YFO. TFTC

With the container not quite natural, a quick find was had!! TFTC:-)

A very cool cache! Thanks for the hide!

One day we were out walking somewhere admiring the scribbly gums amazed at how they are formed. Then we learnt the patterns are created by moths that eat the bark.

How can something so pretty be created by effectively a pest? Apart from termite mounds which are works of art, pests don’t offer much of anything. If some of the art critics realised that scribbly gums were created by moths they wouldn’t be raving on about the fluidity, inclusiveness and raw emotion of the artist. Clearly the moths are ant too worried about scorning the art world and are more interested in feeding their bellies. tftc

Great cache!

Had to laugh at myself for this find. Had the cache in hand in 2secs and didn’t realize it!
Great hide TFTC
Oh and of course the lady across the road spotted me while she was feeding her horses. Just smile and

Quick trip to the Redlands to visit some friends before Christmas. Spotted this trail so decided to find some caches along it before some lunch and last minute shopping. Will be back in the New Year to find some more. Nice hide, TFTC.

Geobike ride after the nearby Parkrun. TFTC

We parked the car close by and had a quick look around . The hint made sense,soon had our name on the log, returned the cache to its hide.. tftc.

Quick find, nice hint and container.
While we are in the area we have been doing a few bike trails , this one was a good workout, hides were all fun.
Few quite tricky ones to mix things up a bit

Very cool spot! TFTC

Today my muggle friend and i decided to take a walk along here and find some smileys. We do often ride our bikes together but decided to walk this one. We really enjoyed the 8.6km walk and finding these caches along the way. i got lucky with this cache and spotted it after only a few minutes. Thanks for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy. Giving this one a FP for all the fun

Nice one

Brisbane, we have now set up camp at Thornside for a few days. Visiting the area to catch up with family & also to do some caching.
We chose this biketrail as Bill loves to ride his bike while I walked a few.
Can't say this is an easy trail as there are many micros hanging in trees which took some time to spot. On the plus side the co-ords were good & some very helpful hints. The DT seemed to be low on this series.
Thankyou Oddiewan for placing this cache.

TFTC.
We arrived in the area at lunch time. Our goal this afternoon was to collect found caches in the last LGA area south of Cairns for me. While eating lunch, we checked with a local for some good caches to do and were given s list of 6 caches plus a challenge that they knew we qualified for.
Had a DNF on the first one here and 3 finds, visited trackables.

Day 33 of our adventure to Townsville Mega and home. Quick find, stamped log and returned. Thanks to Oddiewan.

Awesome

Tftc cool hide

Found it

We found the container for this one first, and could see that a part of it was not attached. A little bit of bush turkey scratching, and we soon had the required part in our hands.
A beautifully constructed and very natural hide.
A FP for this series. A lovely area to walk in.
Thanks Oddiewan

Check this one, all is well, good luck and hunting

Found stick but not container. Had a good look.

A smiley has been added to Cycling the Redlands - Centurion! *

Out and about finding a few caches around Alex Hills, and all I needed to do was go and put my name in the logbook! to reach the peak of Everest!

Thanks Oddiewan for the Traditional cache, the hunt and the smiley today! [D*|

I was rabbiting on about something and wasn’t paying any attention here. Lucky Swearah was here to do all the work cause she had what we were after in no time. TFTC!

Nice hint and a great spot for a cache.
Having a lovely morning with krcamber while doing part of this fun series.

Thanks for the cache, Oddiewan

Staying nearby and decided to walk this series. Quite a long way and some uphill. We enjoyed the ambience along the way and the variety of hides kept us challenged and entertained. Thanks Oddiewan fav point alloc

Time to grab one today after a nearby appointment.
After reading the hint and a few comments I had a fair idea of what I was looking for. I didn't even need my trusty torch
Great little cache. Take a favourite point from me.
Thanks Oddiewan

Dirty, but cool hide. Tftc

Today I decided to head out on 2 wheels and grab some caches. Found this one after a little scratching around, great hide. Tftc Oddiewan

Loved this one, great hide

Missed this cache on our first pass, only by looking from another angle did we spot something suss.

Cool catch

Easy find!

TFTC

Very clever cache. Tftc:).

Joined an enthusiastic group of cyclists to make the run through the trails here, stopping every so often to take a wander into the bush or ponder a structure. A great variety of hides, some tricky, some straightforward. Thankful that many eyes made short work of the hunting in most instances and that the rain kindly stayed away. All up we rode 30km today, signing logs RRG to save space. TFTC Oddiewan

I put my hand up when the call was made as to who would be up for a bike ride around this part of the Redlands.
We all headed out today and found quite a few caches.
Some easy, some hard but all thoroughly enjoyable.
Logs all signed RRG for our group of cyclists.
TFTC and the history lesson.

I ride Scribbly Gums usually every second month so I have been cruising ride past a few of these caches on a couple of occasions. With the New Year fast approaching I decided to test the water on whether a few like minded geocyclists would like to complete the trail.

Now the weather was not looking good but as the ride leader i was duty bound to turn up. Right on cue at the designated start time the rain cleared and a group of many set off to clear the Cycling trail to Redlands.

We set off from Scribbly Gums heading East and then back West to collect caches. After the final western Cycle trail cache four of us pushed on to seek additional caches.

ruzzelz raining (not) ride group all had a great morning on 2 wheels including a diversion to Alex Hill shops for a group session at the coffee shop.

This morning, I joined Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) with a morning of finding the *Cycling the Redlands* geocaches series. The rain had magically disappeared from the start of our ride, and it was an enjoyable group session. I then managed to target a few older geocaches in the area before heading home.
In the afternoon, jesswrigley and I headed out and took a walk along Enoggera Creek in The Gap, finding a few of the *On Your Bike* series from #11 to #6. Again, the rain stayed away long enough to have a decent walk along this stretch whilst passing by many muggles similarly enjoying the afternoon.

Ruzzelz' Reindeer/Ride Group (RRG) consisted of bedmakerTG, DisSister, eatmorchikin, JQTB, La Kedi, nikid1, TaxisVW and DrPam, and teamdfl, as well as our esteemed leader Ruzzelz. Meeting at Scribbly Gums, we rode to the eastern end of the trail, with the plan to ride west and collect the caches in the series. We took a coffee break in the middle of the series at the nearby Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, as well as a few miscellaneous geocaches that we encountered along the way. In total, we rode an approximate distance of 20 km.

We stopped off at this geocache, and it wasn't too long until we managed to make the cache find reasonably quickly. Nice camouflage! The cache container and logbook were in good shape, and we signed as *RRG* / *RR* to preserve space in the logbook. Thanks Oddiewan for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance.

To finish off the year, a group of about 15ish of us got together to cycle this great little bike trail, despite heavy rain trying to discourage us right up until the minute we left! Fortunately, it stopped raining long enough for us to complete our 30km exploration of the area, with many finds along the way. As always, we got to catch up with old friends and make new ones, though cycling in such a group made chatting a bit of a challenge, though social distancing easy. Hint made weird sense, though I wouldn't have guessed it without being there. TFTC, Oddiewan. =^.^=

Found with a large group of crazy pedalers today. Logs all signed RRG for the group. I don't think I actually found any of the caches myself. I was close at a few, and added our team log to some. Many I did not get near as the group often made for quick finding.

Thanks for the series and the effort to put out so many caches.

A call was put out on Facebook to join up for a bike ride and do this series. Still with a few days of rec leave left I couldn’t refuse. There were familiar faces and a few new ones which is one of the reasons I like these type of events as you can never know too many cachers.
In all we did 20km of riding (we did have to detour off the track for a coffee break)
Logs signed as RRG to save on log space.
TFTC Oddiewan for putting out this series.

Found today with RR (Ruzzelz Rainers)

After signing the last one I was a bit late to the party on this find. TFTC

Something a little bespoke… I may have smudged on the log… I had to get back in the car without touching anything…

Tftc…

Easy find. Tftc

Out on a bike ride this morning with chamad tackling the new bike series, along with a couple of others along the way.
A great variety of hides in the series, some very clever ideas among them.
Thanks Oddiewan for the great series.

A morning of caching with willis007 and a day for a leisurely Sunday bike ride. A ride from Capalaba to Cleveland enjoying the recent trail of caches on the bikeway. A nice variety of caches, some very tricky hides and some not so hard. It was a fun morning and by the end of the trail, we were done. We were planning on another ride further afield, but we were feeling a little lethargic from the heat and the humidity and called it a day. We still managed to grab a couple of the older caches in the area on our around and towards home. We were happy with our haul today, we got to take it easy and enjoy the caches and the surrounds.

This was the next in the run of caches along this trail. Sort of had an idea to where this one was due to the hint, but I had to have a couple of looks before I spied the hide. Nice, thanks for the hide and with the log signed and cache replaced as found, it was onto the next one.

Found quickly.
