Ringwood Ramble - Herman Pump Reserve 2 Heathmont, Victoria, Australia
By QueenK8 on 28-Jul-24. Waypoint GCAVNG2

Gotta bring a pen or pencil next time...

This Cache had fallen from its little hole so I replaced it back on site. Correct GPS coords are spot on and it's ready for the next player.

Interesting little hide here. Took a few minutes. I never knew about this park before finding a cache here a few years ago. TFTC.

With a little time between obligations, I set out in perfect weather to find some recent caches in the area. A quick find in the most likely spot. Well camouflaged in its hiding place. No muggles interrupted my retrieval or reset today. All in good dry condition. TFTC QueenK8

This is the second Herman Pump reserve one weve found. We started with number 3 and ended with this one! All very fun. TFTC

Out caching with one of pinnacle333 in the Heathmont/Ringwood area.A lovely walk along here, a place I have never been to before. Thanks QueenK8.

Out caching with echidna44 we made this quick find in this lovely strip reserve. TFTC QueenK8

Started waaay off looking for this one. Eventually figured out where I was lookingTFTC!

Sorry could not find it I was searching for a while and still could not find it but good geocache very difficult

Cool hide TFTC!

Thanks for my first find!

Quick find TFTC

Thanks! Easy find. Good condition

Tftc

This was my 500th find

Another quick find. Hr Pump may have industriously cleared the land for an orchard, but somebody is returning the bushland. This reserve must have a dedicated and busy Friends group as indigenous plants are once again forming a viable under-storey. I made a contribution by weeding out Angled onion, Ivy and Mirror bush; all invasive imports. Tftc.

Found at 10:07Next stop after having to skip #3 with muggles on the trail. Happily this one was out of sight of the path.Thanks QueenK8 for the cache

DNF someone took it

Took a while

*Found on the 15 Sep 2024 @ 1:45PM.**Cache find # 15798.*I made a return to this series today as there were a couple I missed and a number of others that I didnt get too last time as I had run out of time.After finding number 3, I then continued on foot along the path to the next 2 which were found with out any trouble.**Thanks to QueenK8 for keeping the game going by placing this cache.**

It was a bitterly cold day, but I was bored at home and decided to go out caching anyway. I needed a bit of exercise, so decided to attack this little trail of caches. Another easy find.

Found it

Nice and easy find on a lovely walk . TFTC

Copped a few spider webs to the face, but cache obtained and signed. Thanks

We intended on doing a section of the trail on the scooters but on arrival one had a flat tyre so that changed our plans a little so we ended up doing a few less scooter friendly spots instead of the original plan. It was a super nice day for a change so it was a shame we couldn't cruise around but still had fun and the trails weren't too busy which was surprising.This last little section of 3 caches, we parked and one end and walked to the other end and back and had no problems with the finds on these ones and then we headed off for lunch.Thanks QueenK8 for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Found it TFTC

Out for another enjoyable geo hunt with Redcb today, we aimed at some more of the Ringwood Ramble series. With K9 sleuth, Pilot, assisting us, we had great success and finished the day with only one more puzzle left to be solved, to complete the seriesThanks for your wonderful work here, QueenK8. Youve done us a great service.

Out today with Crustyvarmint to log some more of the Ringwood Rambles we found ourselves at yet another lovely bush reserve parkland. What a delight to see so many childrens' toys and chairs and little tables positioned throughout this area just inviting children into a world of imagination and fun. This has been a lovely day and a most enjoyable series. TFTC QueenK8

Out today with my son for a bike ride through this reserve which I have never visited before. Lovely area and great for the kids!

After attending the SideTracked event at Meadmore Juction, I managed to pick up a few caches on the way home. I was really pleased to see these caches pop up in the area but have been unable to visit due to a couple of busy weeks. This was a nice easy find today, no muggles about. Thanks QueenK8

Another great Ringwood ramble cache to fill a calendar spot. Loving this series. Car parked nearby, short pleasant walk to the cache. Quickly located. TFTC QueenK8.

We walked up the trail(s) to GZ passing a couple of "toy gardens" (or where they part of a "bush kinder" as J wondered?) - reminded me of COVID lock-down Spoonvilles and the like (sigh I never did get to place the cache I had made...) Anyway, a little wander off the path and after a shortish search J spotted it - I couldn't see it from where I was standing even though I was closer! LOL

We are very happy all these caches have appeared as it will give us some caches to find on our regular Tuesday after (his) work jaunts with quiet1_au, although they are at the edge of the travel distance vs amount of light before it gets dark at this time of year lol This was next and after wandering around a bit JMelb being of shorter stature spotted the cache just as q1 was looking at the camo casing from above. The nearby play areas are awesome and this is a lovely park! I wondered if they were maybe part of a Bush Kinder? We heard lots of birds being almost twilight by now. TFTC QueenK8 - GJMMelb

We had a nice stroll through this Reserve and made a quick find once at GZ. Thanks to QueenK8 for the cache.

Took a bit to find but spotted it once I got to higher ground. tftc

Out and about with omegaman, there are always plenty of laughs while we are turning caches into smiles. It was Omegamans Birthday today so we caught up for lunch and grabbed a few caches.This is one of the caches found today.Thanks QueenK8 for the cache.

Out on a very wet miserable day. Never knew this Rea existed. Lovely. Easy find. Thanks for bringing me here

I found this cache on my Mega Walk #29 - a 25,000 step walk through Heathmont, Burnt Bridge and Ringwood. The grass was rather wet and soggy on the way up the hill but the cache was soon in hand once there. Our 4th cache in Herman Pump Reserve and our 209th 3TF. Thanks from D B-A
