Out on a rainy day with Outdoornut22 I suppose what better do we have to do. this was a very simple drive buy. I think next time we will have to continue along the road and check out the campsite it looked like a lovely area, but maybe in some better weather!

Out in the rain today with Sophoutloud and had about the unluckiest caching day we have had in a long time with only a 50% success rate it almost wasn't worth getting drenched for quick and easy to find this one and we quickly dashed out of the car in the rain to snap a pic of the tower

On an extremely hot sickly day there was not much else to do besides computer or the box so I went for a drive & completed roadside virtual & trigs – this was 1 of them in the greater area.
A nice quick 1 to complete – many thanks

Came looking for two trigs but could only manage this one. Went round the gate to get a closer look as there was a lookout noted on the map and thought we might get a view to go with the trig, but only bush.

With GZ in hand a nice quick find.

Doing a GA cache run with JJCC and being in the area we drove up to the two trigs. This one was easily spotted with a photo taken from the roadway.

Was at the Bellbird lookout so this one being not far away got a look in also. Some good views out to the valleys on the way to this trig. You shouldn't miss it when you get close.

No problems with this Scott....the tower is there for all to see. As for the one across the road.......I think time has been called on that one.....but check the page to be sure!!!!
First find of my trek across the Blue Mtns via Bells Line of Road. Easy enough after following the GCA navigator. Trees meant I needed to walk in to get the shot.
Parked alongside but seen from the track opposite, heading to the Scott Trig.

Second trig for the day, discovered by accident when I was heading to the nearby GC cache.

Found together with pjmpjm and GazMag on a day-long Geocaching and trig hunting expedition in the Kurrajong/North Richmond/Windsor areas.
You can spot this one from a long way off, the usual passive trig communications tower.
