Logs
We had a look.... and couldn't find it, not unexpectedly, but still a little disappointing! The signage at the trailhead has changed, but enough remains to get some good coords with the incomplete coordinate tool, and the location matched The Cash Mans photos. A lot happens in a decade.... I suspect the cache is either washed out to sea, or thoroughly overgrown, or just really well hidden, but I favour the first two options.... Good fun anyway, the kids had a ball looking for starfish and crabs in the rock pools.
A verry plesent walk to a fantastic spot, such a great place it's a shame the cache doesn't see the light of day more often. TFTC.
Enjoyed this hasn't seen daylight for a while Thanks for the cache

An easy find, thanks to good instructions and co-ordinates.
Unfortunatley, it has been muggled, as it was open to view, and items that have been logged as left are not there.
But still, it was a nice walk. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this one after a nice walk down to the beach. The co-ords are easy to plot once you get to the carpark. Someone has now placed a cross at GZ in memory of Lily and Liam which makes the cache easy to find once you get there. A nice walk down but a bit more difficult to get back up. Cache is wet after recent big seas. The log is wet as the container is not water tight enough once submerged. Didn't have a plastic bag to assist. Took the USB stick which was starting to rust after being in the salt water, however it still works. I have copied the maps and will endeavour to put it back soon for someone else to use. TFTC

17:13 Dropped by a couple of weeks ago but the sun had set a while back and I thought perhaps it wasn't the best one to attempt in the dark, and the way I got to the GZ this time I was correct (OK, so I like short-cuts!). Got the info that I required near WP1 and moved on to the cache-proper/ Some great views on the way. Got to be a little careful of muggles here I guess as they could just walk by at the wrong time, I had one sitting just out of view thankfully when I was searching. Nice hide, I signed the log but made no swaps. Hope this cache is water-tight Thanks for the hunt & views.

Isn't it great when things just come together. I was logging another cache today that I missed out on FTF because of some mucking around, when I noticed this new cache come up and while it's not exactly on the way home I was heading out this way after work today, so I decided to have ago.
Finished work, drove to the start and got the clues hoping the cache wasn't to far away as it was starting to get dark, ok now head for GZ, nice views on the way and get there while it's still quite light, start looking and bing there it is in the first place I look. Sign the log, replace and head back out and get to the car as it starts to get dark and I'm of to the shops with a FTF for the second day in a row
PS - I left the map software as I don't have a garmin
