Description
This Cache was hidden while in the area geocaching.
If you park at S41 16.813 E148 20.712 just near parking coordinates there is a trial which will lead you down onto a large rock at the waters edge.
Be careful near waters edge as the rocks do drop off.
You shouldnt need to damage any vegetation to find the cache. Dont forget to admire the view while here.

Logs
This must be rather well hidden, and maybe a bit of overkill given its location ...... just saying. Spent a heap of time here. Got to 0, 1, & 2 metres accuracy, but try as we might (2 people searching) this is a disappointing DNF. Thanks anyway, you sneaky so and so !
Thank you to Beetles for confirming the cache is still there, i have increased the difficulty to match the difficulty of the search.
Best of luck to future finders.

This one was quite a challenge!!
With a recent DNF by experienced geocachers we weren't hopeful but decided to have a crack at it anyway.
Mr Beetle waited above while Mrs Beetle descended to GZ. After a very lengthy search with no success Mr Beetle arrived as he had images of me being swept off the rocks. From above he could hear the pounding surf but was unaware that the search area was quite safe.
In a typical scenerio I finally found the cache only minutes after he arrived. I must have had my hand within 30 cms of it many times.
Until this point we were cruising along at a great pace but this one cache certainly held us up and we ended up having to miss a few targeted caches to make it to our booked accommodation at Swansea in time.
Was it worth it? Of course it was!! Nothing like a FTF on a tricky hide.
Surprised to see that the key ring was already quite rusty.
Thanks DEZ055 and I guess you don't have to check this one now.

Will do a maintenance check on this one when we return from the mainland later this month.
