Looked around for ages was determined to find it but unfortunately i eas beat. Didn't find it
Camped over night Mr H looked and found one right next to the caravan. We looked lots. Mr H soon had it in hand. TFTC.
On a maintenance trip with the Geo Westies all was found to be good here in Chudleigh.
Staying at the camp-site, and saw this cache was right there! Very clever hide, and thankfully there were no muggles looking on while I looked for it.TFTC
TFTC!After sending Pancake1 to look for cache while pancake2 was waiting for ice cream, returning empty handed and disappointed. Pancake2 walked over and told where it would be (good guess) and sent pancake1, who located straight away but lost a few licks of their ice cream to pancake2 Amazing hide and impressed us!
After visiting the honey farm we headed back to our Motorhome via the campsite. We scratched our heads for a little while wondering where the cache might be. We then honed in on the only spot it could be and a nice find was made. TFTC
Today being the Summer Solstice (21.12.2023), we decided to give it a go and collect the 12 required logs to qualify for the Solstice Souvenir, but in the one day !Very pleasd to log this one which was a DNF in June '22 for us. Three caravans in the grounds, but no action there. Cache easily spotted, because it was on the ground shining out like a little beacon. Logged and replaced as it should be, so all shipshape here Angus. And thankyou.
Too longer than it should have to ask SpicyKid didn't check the area thoroughly TFTC
A quick find with clue after stopping for a leatherwood ice cream opposite. TFTC!Cheers,The Hancock Clan
This one took longer than is should have, the nearby honey shop is a must visit place, the ginger honey ice cream is divine.Thanks for the cache Angus88.
So this was one where we stopped in town because the honey store and the beautiful flowers warranted a look. I got a Ginger ice cream and we started looking for the cache no find. We went on to spend two hours at the nearby animal sanctuary and on the way back CFTB was looking at logs and Id already driven out of town and I said we need to let some caches go as you cant find them all when youre travelling. Well I ended up turning the car around so we could go back and she made the find exactly where she thought . Ahhh very satisfying TFTC
Whilst on our way from Mole Creek to Devonport, we passed through the two of Chudleigh, and we attempted another cache by Angus. Unfortunately, this one had stumped both I and one of my caching buddies, Harley.
We hope to return down to Tassie soon and we'll retry this one for sure!

This was eventually found in the first and most obvious place we checked, but we didn't check well enough. After deciding it had to be there we returned after exhausting other options and using senses other than our eyes it was finally found. Not the normal hide type for this container and Mr Beetle did wonder how you got it there?? Thanks.
TFTC. Cache and contents in excellent condition. Third attempt at this one and my initial thoughts were always correct. Just need a slightly different angle
We have been released of grandchildren minding for a few days so we decided to come north to chase down a few caches that have either been placed since our last visit or ones that we missed on our previous travels! It’s been awhile since our last visit!
We went straight to the correct area but we didn’t stretch far enough so our second search we reached in further.

I have attempted to find this on three previous occasions without success. On two occasions the GZ had a caravan parked on site and a third occasion it was bucketing down with rain so I did not make the search. On this occasion success. No muggles and no rain. The cache was located in good condition.
Found with The X-Trailers heading to Mole Creek. Cache all ok. A quick find.TFTC
Out caching with earthlight today countryside is lovely
Got held up by roadworks several times .

Day 3 of our Tassie tour. This is our first stop of the day and I think it gets the award for the most awkward position of find that I've ever found! Glad that none of the campers around we're taking any notice, the photo would have been all bum! Thanks for a great cache.
Trying to catch up on some very late logs. Sorry for the more generic logs.Stopped off here to make a quick find while staying in the area and enjoying the area and some good weather.Thanks Angus88 for placing the cache for us to find.
Back home we decided to tackle a few caches that have been published and this was one of them.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Visited Trowunna, stopped for honey ice cream. Noticed this cache nearby, came to find it. Had a pretty good idea of where GZ would be upon arrival. Missed the cache on initial inspection, but Geodad found it not long after. No pen, so here's a photo of the log. TFTC!

This was a tricky one.
I couldn't see it but after feeling around I put my hand on it.
Any future finders trust your GPS, the co-ords were spot on for us.

With regular DNFs I was expecting a tricky hide. Angus didn't let us down. SL and replaced as found.
No luck for us here - sure we were looking in the right place, perhaps we needed longer arms. We both spent quite a bit of time here searching - taking turns whilst the other threw the ball for the two GeoGSP's on the nearby oval (which was completely sodden). One of the local dogs turned up for a play as well which made for lots of running around and zoomies. Back at GZ, there were only so many places to look, and eventually - as some light drizzle started - we pulled the pin and continued our drive home.
On a devious route to Habitat Nursery, Liffey. We needed coffees, so why not go back to Railton to "Gear"House of Grind for a great brew !
Our tour then took us over the Gog Range to Mole Creek and on to Chudleigh for a couple of "traditionals", one with a certain amount of "gravitas" and then this one which unfortunately did not fall into our hands this time. We'll be back !

This was a nice little challenge, Angus!
It took a definite dose of persistence and I am happy to say that no-one was around watching and I can claim the smiley

As there is a lot to do today before we head to the mainland tonight, we made an early morning visit to Chudleigh. It was very cold and wet underfoot, although it had stopped raining. Reading some previous logs focussed our search and it wasn't long before we located this well hidden cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Angus88 for the cache and the series.
Had a good ideas where this one would be just had to locate it which I did for a quick find and sign.
Hi Angus
No campers here at the moment, reckon ratty weather shewed them away.
At gz the hide didn't look likely...(I did have a peek but no see)....so expanded the search.
Nothing likely, so headed back to gz where coords were reading 1m away.
Hmm.....another more forensic search came up trumps....great hide(fav).
Thoroughly enjoyed the Mole Creek to Chudleigh tour.....very much appreciated....cheers ST.

Brilliantly hidden away, took me a couple of goes to locate this one, thanks for the challenge..
Camping with Angus88 I was lucky to see this one published before we left to head for Deloraine. Was therefore first to sign.
