Pot Bay

Thursday , 15 November 2018 Decided to walk from South Arm through to Pot Bay, one that we had done a year ago, but since that time several geocaches have been put in, so this was an added incentive. View of the Jetty Found without too much trouble on the way back as we didn't come down this way but went on the top track first and missed it. Blessington Track Steps #1 Quite quickly found liked the camouflage Blessington Track Steps #2 Nice easy find, good Camo. tftc Blessington Track Steps #3 We do like these caches that we don't have to spend a long time searching for, thanks very much for the cache. Fort Beach Pot Bay #1 Good cache when we found the right pole.

South Arm Convict Trail

Thursday , 3 August 2017 A walk on the mountain had been planned but the calm day and likelihood of getting lots of sunshine persuaded us to go along the Convict Trail at South Arm.  It took 2:10 for the walk from South arm to Opossum Bay collecting caches and 1:20 for the return leg; in all it was 9.5k for the day. South Arm Convict Trail - John Humphreys Made an error in calculation but on reaching a spot we reckoned it would be, did a recheck. South Arm Convict Trail - Eliza Hurst Quick now that were had cottoned onto the design. South Arm Convict Trail - James Cumberland Similar in design so quick to locate. South Arm Convict Trail - Edmund Musk Going well and interesting information. South Arm Convict Trail - Sarah Lambert Went back to the seat in the sun to fill in the log. South Arm Convict Trail - George Broomhead We now know what Oldsaint meant in his log comment. South Arm Convict Trail - William Johnson A cache design we are famili...

Our Worst Geocaching Day

Monday , 7 November 2016 This walk around Dowsings Point from the Derwent Entertainment Centre ended up being our worst day of geocaching we have had. One find out of three. Divining Angle Sue said "is it under there" but Peter was a bit fed up and said "probably not" but looked anyway and there it was. The Cache With No Name We walked along the path and went down some steps, where we were confronted with a wire fence marked with no entry.  The GPS pointed to the other side of the fenced area and about 150 m within.    So we weren't too impressed  with this cache. On checking The  List after getting home it is apparent that the land vested in the defence force goes to the water line. What's the Point Somewhat frustrating when everyone else finds it easily and quickly and we can't.
