a great puzzle cache… loved the diversity of it :)

our log entry at geocaching.com:

Woke up to clear skies and the best weather for days, decided today would be an ideal opportunity to catch up on some local caches we have been unable to visit the past months. Took Kathy out for a ‘mystery’ trip to Clevedon Only revealing the surprise motive on arrival

Perfect location on a near perfect day to hunt out a TT cache I could be assured would be worth our time there

Leaving Kathy to solve the puzzles whilst I took in the views and the rare glimpse of sun lately, finishing off the last clues together we were soon at ground zero. GPS has been 10m out all day so Kathy grabbed the cache from the clue only calling me over to remove bugs from cache!

This spot is ideal for a picnic, close to Clevedon shops and cafe.

2nd cache for today.

We were keen to check this one out today, hit ground zero as it was getting dark… pocket torch helped while trying not to look suspicious! GPS has been 10m out all day so found with clue. Great size cache for the location Grabbed Gingerbread man GC (TB1D8Z9: Penguinhunters Gingerbread Geocoin ) as he tried to run off (who said you can’t catch me! )

Easy to find Nano and Micro multi cache.

After a long day geocaching, it’s not just your car that needs refueling! This urban cache is located at “The Hub” final cache location is short walking distance to half a dozen or so fast food restaurants and a short drive over to Botany shopping center.

WP1 is a nano containing coordinates to the final micro cache. Sorry no room for trades in this one.

Have a pit stop and track this one down
