Ridge Woodford, New South Wales, Australia
By Geocaching Australia on 20-Mar-10. Waypoint TP5357

Came across by chance while bushbashing between Roger's bull-related caches.

Found a way past the sentinel dogs.

TFTT and the barks

Beautiful sunny morning for a short bushwalk, The rock patterns were worth it.

A quick trig in the rain after a DNF at a nearby GC cache. Even better it turned out to be a double trig....

Wanted to do a short caching trip, just to get out there – a nice drive out here & a short walk – at first I was wondering if I was on private property as at the end of the street there is a barbie & seating – looks like a street get together area. A short walk to a nice trig that is intact – nice to see – thanks for the view

Parked in a nearby street and found a path that could be followed to the trig. Nice swirl pattern in the rock on the path out.

Stopped and took my happy snap at GZ.

I thought that I had found ALL of the trigs shown on the topo maps of the 1980's, but maybe this one did not show up.
Back down in the Lower Blue Mountains I made way to this concrete pedestal trig under 'Full Moon' light, not deeding to turn my headlight until the walk back to the car. Found @ 1730, Sunday 4 June, 2017. Intact name plate - T.S. Ridge, 1975
On looking back at the entries, I see that I can JUST make another Smiley @ GA2703 - Unloved Trigs; as it was last Found by phlphotos on 5/9/15, even though it was subsequently by lucky1955, that was on the day after I visited (and 'they' haven't logged a Find here). Sorry 'lucky1955' about my late logging - 4/8/2017; just realised that I was few trigs behind, when I found a passive trig that I had photographed back in March 2016 does not have a GCA page for it.

made my way up from Belmont Street. A nice view greeted my once I got to the trig. Took a couple of photos and then walked back to my car. Thanks for bringing me to this spot.

TFTT! Another great trig. The patterns in the nearby rocks are beautiful. Approach from Beauford road, not Ridge Rd.

Went the wrong way to start but once at the 'compound' the prize was only a shorr walk away. All good

A short stroll from the antenna tower, hidden in low greenery atop rock. Another weathered structure, but in good order, complete with name plate.

Parked at the mobile tower to find my way easily to the trig. A pleasant find for me today.

Visited this one on a cold early morning stroll. Wandered up past the mobile base stations to the trig. Nice views from here.

I drove in part way then we where faced with a large puddle which meant we had to walk the remaining 50m, TE and ALB choose the left side thru the grass and I navigated around the bushes, it turns out the left side was the wetter path, so some wet feed the other two joing me at the trig point.
They choose the right side on the return path.

This trip was planned from when the trail was published, but it took till now to get a common free weekend. Most of the caches were simple and well placed. A few were more difficult. The places visited were interesting and all in all Mtrax, Tankengine and I had a great time, even if a bit wet and foggy at times.

Thanks

Nice trig mind you there was a big puddle and I now have wet through shoes!

A quick find on our way back from Bullaburra today. Not sure what street we used, but we ended up with maybe a 100m walk up a little path, over some rocks with very interesting patterns & over to the trig.

This one looked quite easy until I drove straight into someone's driveway at the end of Ridge Street, and attracted the attention of the householder's large dog! Reversing smartly out again, I soon found a kind of fire trail leading into the bush towards the high communications tower. This latter should be your clue as to the correct location of the trig, situated only a few metres from the tower. In the end, I was able to drive quite close.

The trig is nicely position on a high rock and you can access it directly. I also enjoyed looking at all the communications antennas nearby.

This close-up experience definitely makes the trig a more interesting experience and clearly rates 'Three Thumbs Up from me!

Almost drove to this one. Interesting patterns in the nearby rock shelf.

Nice little walk to another lovely view.

Found it while doing a bit of bush walking in the Woodford area.
