Geocaching #7 and #8

Back to Cardinham Woods and the Lidcutt Valley Walk today. Like last time we were there, the GPS was close to useless, there isn't much reception in some parts of Cardinham Woods. This time we had written down the clues so we quickly found both geocaches when we got to the right place.


The sign is back!!!
Geocache#7 was straightforward. Last time the vital arrow on the signpost wasn't on the post. Clearly they are redoing all the signs at the start of the tourist season and typical of our luck we first went when they were halfway through the job! We were really pleased to find a Travel Bug at the geocache- it's the first one we've come across. [As the TB was from Randwick Cub Scouts it will be going with Sean to his Cub Scouts meeting on Thursday before it moves on from us]. 


We saw some great views from the climbing paths we took.


Geocache#8 had a really good spoiler clue- this proved essential as the GPS had no reception at all along the path we were on. However all became beautifully obvious once I'd noticed the key thing... The others didn't see it at all at first but it was a gem of a clue and we quickly searched the right area...

Leo wants to go far!
For fun we set up two Travel Bugs of our own today. Neither of the cache boxes today could fit our TB's inside so they visited instead, but they will be out there travelling soon.




Until next time
Gillian
