Find #: 3,746Companions: NoneMuggles: A few at WP1Weather: Pleasant spring morningCache condition: GoodAfter taking part in the inaugural Macquarie University parkrun I decided to find some local caches, and this was the second. I parked on the north-side and headed across the bridge, where the challenge began. I searched for quite a while until I found the hex - I wonder if someone didn't heed the CO's request, as the first few lines didn't seem to be relevant (although the co-ords were accurate)? Anyway, with GZ's co-ords soon calculated I headed off, and once there made a quick find in the appropriate and unexpected spot - TNLNSL TFTC
Took a lot longer than it should have at WP1 but a bit of wandering in the bush at GZ and aha! that fits the description. SL. TNLN TFTC
Found the round peg in the square hole. After gathering the info and converting the coords, it was off to GZ. No muggles about so easily found and signed. TFTC
After the multi, tried my hand here late at night. Having read the issues here, wasnt hopeful at WP1 but spotted the hex number quickly in a spot I would have hidden it. Read the description and only one way to convert that hex number. Again questioned myself but it did make sense and plausible location, so off I went.Down at GZ with the jumpy GPS, arrow couldnt make up its mind.I questioned myself as I felt close to a property, sent an SOS to a previous finder to check over my workings after close to 45mins walking around with a torch.I can see this area getting trampled and yet there it is, the name of the cache, finally CIH, thanks jxpetThumbs up from them
Finding the hex number was hard and then GZ was a bit off and under trees made it hard. Log signed
After struggling a bit at WP1, I found what we were looking for. Worked out what we needed and then off to GZ for a nice quick find. Our last find for the day.
Struggled a bit more than I'd like to admit at wp1 but with a push in the right direction from the co we soon had what we needed. Worked out what we needed and off to gz. Quick find, thanks for the hide!
[FTF] I really love this series so when I saw a new one come out I decided to go for FTF.The WP1 took a little bit to find but after some thinking we found it. Converted and had good coords. At GZ it took a bit of a search to find the hole as the T rating was misleading us. So were all the spiders! After persistence we got to it and found the round peg and the cache! This was a fun one.
