As we had an unexpected trip south yesterday, we took the opportunity to look for caches in the recently published Highway 1 series. Yesterday we looked for the caches as we headed south - today we looked for caches on the other side of the highway as we headed north.This is an excellent series with well designed caches placed thoughtfully and with safe parking very close by. There were some interesting cache containers, with one particular style we hadn't seen previously - a great design used in a number of hides. Unless stated otherwise, coordinates were accurate (within 5m) and the caches were in good condition.The CO's, quite rightly, have included a very important warning about walking from one side of the highway to the other. It would be remiss of us not to add another. *In some places there are U-turn bays which allow safe access to a cache on the other side of the highway. However, once on the other side, the same access cannot be used safely nor legally to return to the original direction of travel - instead backtracking in the direction opposite of your intended travel is necessary before resuming your original direction of travel.* If possible, the caches are best tackled by looking for those on the side of the road you are travelling, not the other side of the highway. Yesterday we travelled south and were able to find 17 without crossing the highway. Today we looked for the other 16 tomorrow as we travelled north.Thanks Tas_Geo for this cache and the very enjoyable series.
A new series of caches on the Midland Highway published in the week before I was heading north for the 'Hobart Show Day' long weekend - nice one.With the GeoGSP's loaded in the car, today we headed north.No trouble with this one, safe parking, good hint, cache container all good.
FTF @ 1115 . A quick find whilst heading north for the weekend. TFTC!Cheers,The Hancock Clan
