Bibb trail 2 - Sandpatch Cambridge, Tasmania, Australia
By JABs on 04-Nov-23. Waypoint GCAG3B3

Started this trail from the other end late yesterday. This afternoon, we are tackling some more hides from the Tunnel Hill end. 12 metres out, so search both fence lines. TFTC

So today I thought it was about time I wandered up and went for a walk and retrieve this series of caches. Although I didn't even try and get the last couple as there were muggles around. But overall was a nice walk albeit very noisy from the highway. Gps coords were a bit of with this one but hint soon had me signing log.

Hi JABs. Today I found your cache Bibb trail 2 - Sandpatch. Continuing my quest to complete my find calendar five times over, this cache has contributed to that self imposed challenge. Thanks for hiding the cache for me to find today. Finding this cache takes my GC finds to 4964 and I found it at 13:39 on Sunday 23 Jun 2024FTF: NoMates: not hereMuggles: noneMy EPE: 5m but cache was 12m awayCondition: goodWeather: overcast My favorites:Creative - Back to the future 1 by peaches (GCA5JYD)Hardest - Men in Black Holes by SG-3 (Archived)Most visited - Dragons Lair by Shagzter (GC2E33)

have walked some very short sections. The scenery and heritage along the trail is superb. We can appreciate the attraction of the walking the Bibbulmun Trail and congratulate JABs on his achievement. So when the publication of Bibb Trail commenced, it was a major attraction for us. Circumstances dictated that today was our first opportunity to look for the first caches in this series.It took us even longer to locate this cache. We went to the published coordinates but were not successful. We gradually widened the search area, looking for locations consistent with the hint. We eventually located the cache - both our GPS units indicated that the cache was 19m from the published coordinates whilst our phone made the discrepancy 21m. It was a very frustrating search. The cache and contents were in good condition. Before leaving we took a number of sets of measurements of the coordinates and the average was S42 50.996 E147 25.342. Thanks JABs for this cache and the series so far - looking forward to continuation of the series.

Today we headed out from Sorell to find a few caches. We couldnt go very far as our car insurance was a drive less pay less deal which runs out on Saturday and we only had 50kms left.we finished the day today with 6km for tomorrow. Great planning I think .We found a few challenge caches and went on a nice walk by the freeway. We found all the caches that we looked for which was a bonus. OMG this day sounds so scary. TFTC

Found it, but coordinates are off. Nice quick cache! - Peter and Charles

7 cousins found it with not much trouble

Myself and Goose had talked about doing this trail for awhile now but wanted to wait till there was a few out so we could do a whole section, as it turned out that is exactly what we managed find more than we bargained for!Parking within 2m of number 1 on Grahams Rd was a good start, with us taking a leisurely walk to end of the track at Alliance Drive, this took us 1 hour 51 minutes, the return only took 54 minutes.Some hides we found the coords a bit out but with the hint and geosenses it wasn't a problem, the only other person we spotted on the trail was a brain-dead dirt biker who hooned passed a couple of times.Found on 13/04/2024 at 11:14:00 thanks to JABs for placing this cache for me to find.

Today stainless steel rat and I decided to do the Bibb Trail. We parked on Grahams Road and walked all the way to Alliance Drive, turned around and walked all the way back again. The return journey took half the time, as we hoofed it back, having found ALL the caches on the outbound trip. As we approached each GZ, we used a combination of the hint, the compass, and geosense to get us to the prize. Some were quick finds, but some took a bit longer. We had a trail bike fly past us a couple of times, so be careful!An enjoyable three hours exercise but I was pretty hungry by the time we finished.I am looking forward to the rest of the series being published.Thanks JABs

Found after first looking the wrong side of the path

Had an airport run to do today, so made time to do this run of caches before the pick up. TFTC

Searched behind the six closest posts on the two fences closest to the coords but no luck.

Great hide we brought our cub scouts for an adventure to try to find some geocaches Tftc

Hi JABs, thanks for this series of caches, and congratulations on your Bibb. walk.Today I parked between West Cape and Torbay, then walked straight to Albany, found that, then the others down to William Bay.Then I leap-frogged via the even caches to Walpole, then found the remaining odd caches back towards the car.A quick find with the hint.Cheers, EPs.

No joy

Hello JABs thank you for the cacheThis cache of yours took a little time before it was found.I do love this bit of the old railway.Found on Wednesday, 10 January 2024 at 1606**TFTC**

Up Early this morning for a trip to the airport to drop off one of the children and thought, hmmmm, I should knock off a couple of the middle of the BIBB trail series. So an early morning walk had me grabbing number 2 and 3. I was tempted for number 1, but breakfast was calling.I have looked this walk up on google maps. This looks like a long drive, let alone a walk. It seems a long way from West Cape to Denmark with Wilson Inlet in the middle!TFTC

20 metres offside in other side

Heute bei schnem Wetter losgefahren und beim zweiten Cache fing es an zu Regnen. Wir beschlossen uns aber weiterzumachen und wurden mit gut gefundenen Caches belohnt. Diesen mussten wir etwas lnger suchen, da er mehrere Meter vom GZ entfernt war. Besten Dank frs legen und pflegen.

Excite to be 1st for 2024 but we forgot our pen

TFTC! Gotcha

Today we further explored our back yard and finding caches along the way, and this was one of them.We concentrated on finding the caches that has been published since our last visit.We found a variety of hides with varying degrees of difficulty.A great trail, completed from the bottom and working our way up the hill in the company with whitewebbs.Many thanks to the CO for your cache placement.

Today is the last day of the solstice souvenir challenge and we still needed five caches to complete it, so this afternoon we came to Mount Rumney to tackle this new series. We saw plenty of wildlife along the track, including rabbits, wallabies and even a swift parrot. The caches were all quick finds and were all in good condition. A fun series, looking forward to the rest of it.Thanks for the cache JABs!

After the Summer Solstice Event at Bellerive we headed out with Tassie Trekkers to complete this trail. A nice stroll in the area. Looking forward to the rest in the series. TFTC Coords were 14 m off. Found on the other fence line at S42 50.997 E147 25.335.

After discounting the red herrings, I opted for the hint and discovered the red actual. Thanks for the after work gambol.

The GPS Coords were off, found in the end

I nearly DNF'd this one On my way back the 'other' fence was inspected and the bison tibe was spotted easily and with much relief i found myself signing the log at 10:43 on Thursday 14 December 2023 knowing i avoided a DNF Thanks for a fun series of hides JABs, it was fun.(I can confirm all hides are there and the log books are dry )

So many likely spots! After ruling a few out because of the size, and a fair few minutes of intense teamwork, we had the cache in hand. Thanks for the cache JABs!

Thanks for the cache JABs.Enjoyed this little series of caches on a walk after work with the GeoGSP's. Another quick find here at GZ.

A great little series in a nice area for a walk. TFTC

We had a well organised Saturday in front of us. Bacon and Eggs for breakfast, then on to Grand Daughter's School for as Car Boot Sale. After lunch the Xmas Tree is to be decorated. So on the way to Granddaughter's School up pops a set of new caches. Quick diversion to get at least one FTF for December and into an area where we have some caches. The first of the series was found and then we returned to our original plans leaving the other 6 for a later time. After the Car Boot Sale slowed we saw that there were still 6 FTFs noted on the cache page so we returned to the area. Noted that the log on the first cache still only contained our name so headed off to grab the rest. GPS was going mad in the area so grateful for the good hints. Opened the log to find that clearly our gene pool was not good enough to warrant FTF on this cache and probably the others. TFTC
