Geocaching

The Russians are Coming II (tribute) A lovely spring day after some pretty ordinary weather. After enjoying lunch with a friend nearby Sue decided to look for this nearby cache. After circling the safety fence she entered the complex and followed the GPS which took her to GZ. Thinking to herself that it would have been handy to have Peter along today she set upon the task herself. Clambered, pulled, signed and replaced and then off to pick up her grand daughter from school.

Saturday 27 July 2013 A lot of steps had to be negotiated from the university up the hill to Mount Nelson. Our aim was to pick up the caches we didn't get around to on the last visit to the area, but one had to dropped from the schedule because Peter forgot to bring his sheet of paper with calculations that were needed. The return walk was down through Lambert Gully. Stairway to Heaven We left the car at the University and walked up the steps on what was quite a warm day. On getting level with the cache site it was over the fence where a convenient log had been left (although we subsequently noticed a opening allowing easy access a little way further up.

Friday 7 September 2012 We had an engagement in Sandy Bay and decided to grab a few caches in the area afterwards. IT was a bit showery on the drive there but the sun was out by the time the function was over. But the mountain looked to have cloud building up and eventually a few spot began to fall on us, curtailing our final cache attempt.   10x10 Vertically We had driven past this site quite few times and, after realising our assumed location was not correct, it did not take long to find.   Mary MacKillop - Sandy Bay We had never had been past here before and found the buildings quite imposing. The cache was in open view and we did cover it up as best we could, but needs something a bit heavier as the wind will soon blow the light bark away.

Friday 22 June 2012 It was a nice sunny, if quite cold day, and we decided to go for a walk in the suburb of Dynnyrne and collect a geocache “ Log Cabin ” on the way. At first we went up the wrong street in attempting to locate the underpass of the Southern Outlet highway, but eventually found it and Sue worked out the cache location quite quickly.   A schoolgirl muggle appeared just before we had time to return the container, but had it back soon after.  A walk further up the hill brought us past various architecture style of houses; with the most unusual one being a replica of a castle.   Beyond this was a walkway to Tolmans Hill and for somewhere high above the highway it was amazingly noisy from the traffic.
