great spot - quick find after searching the area - cache still in good condition
Oh how we agreed with the name of this cache, i would say laugh so much as swear through grated teeth!
This was a quick find and brought me to an area I had never been to before as it was on my get round to it list, after this we moved on to some other caches that Goose had found years ago so we made a 'nice' loop out of it.
Thanks for bringing me here today

Great cache but an awful hill climb to get to it. I did it with the bear back in 2013 and it still haunts me. The exercise was apparently good for me, I believe 
Thanks for another big one. Hopefully I score tonight!

good afternoon sir and thanks for the cache. I was already on top of the stupid hill from the other direction, so now I'm going down.
all is perfect at GC.

Must have forgot to log this cache at the time as I remember it well! It was absolutely hammering it down and freezing cold when I did this walk, but it was much needed and the geopup slept for the rest of the day! Success hehe! Found several caches on the walk and got a cracking photo of the mountain from here with a rainbow and snow on the top. TFTC!

Hi RLD
Dropped Mum at St Johns as usual Sunday mornings
Then out and walked this hill
Received a phone call from Budge while ascending and was still talking to him when I found the cache
Placed my phone on another stump and talked while signing the log
The cache was Sainted at 0900 hours
All requirements fulfilled, walked down to the car and went on to find two more caches
Went to check something on my phone about two hours later - no phone in its pouch
It's still on the stump up this hill
I ascended and descended it twice today
The phone was still there, thank GOD; BUT I won't thank HIM for two ascents and two descents
BUDGIE owes me BIG TIME!!!
Total kilometres walked today totaled 5.99 km
TFTC and cheers

This cache turned out to be a little problem. GPS went flat on the ascent. No spare batteries so effectively I was relying on my phone. It was now I found that Geocube is no replacement for geo sphere. Got to the rough area and using only the raw god position got myself to the rough area. Quickly found the spot and the cache.
Tftc. A bit of an adventure for the last cache of the day.
Oh that hill sucks

2nd to find. I would have to agree this is a stupid hill. Mrs W has never walked up here before and probably won't again, Mr W must have done the trek to other caches, so if any more come out he will be volunteered. It is so dry. TFTC I think.

Thanks for the cache RLD4963. The GeoGSP and I were out for a walk up the hill, with RLD4963 ahead. Found soon after it was placed, glad I don't have to walk up this hill again! Even though there are some pretty nice views up near the top.
