This has not been found for ages and has probably washed away. Thanks people for looking for it and moving it around in the race and afterwards.

there is evidence of a metre or so of fast flowing water at GZ which is understandable considering the disappearance of the bridge upstream of this point a couple of years earlier. unless it was bolted do an I think this one is probably out to sea by now

Found this by accident, it has inspired us to join up and start looking for other caches. Was going to move it, but just learning how this all works so will leave it where we found it, until we find some more of his travel buddies. Smile

After a solid days work near pouring cement for roadworks near the 2LM building, GOBY retired for the night down the road. He's got a few mates with him though, so hopefully they keep the noise to a minimum. Chuggy and LOCT are hanging with him for the evening.
 
03-Dec-12
Found this little rig hiding under some bushes near the pub. It's not time to knock off yet, I told him. I'll find somewhere for him to work tomorrow. His log container fell off, but I'll glue it back on for him tonight.

Heading off a little later than the rest but hopefully he will make up the distance quickly.
 
03-Dec-12
Ready to go just a little bit of a slow starter. Let's hope he can catch up the distance quickly.
