Was at the nearby Christmas meet up, and with a group of others we searched for some nearby caches. This was our first, and are only DNF. I thinks its gone.... moved a lot of material around, was not worried by neighbours, house almost looks abandoned, or they have lost the lawn mower! Maybe next time.
Was excited this cache was at the bottom of the stairs, but cache was not located despite our best efforts. Excitement of stairs short lived too next find was at the time.
Felt uncomfortable looking around in the dark so close to people's homes! With labreezy06
Spotted the hint and searched for a while but no joy. A second item also fitting the hint was nearby that someone has rolled out to the bush edge also held nothing.
First geocaching date with a noob, nice find in a nice spot after a nice breakfast at the Esplanade
Why do weirdo's hang around on street corners late at night? I did this cache and 'let's explore' and 'dora, where's diego' and the bugger was still there when I returned to my car! Odd, very odd.
Originally logged and found whilst out with mum (keylev) but now have own account so logging all finds I was present at and helped with.
Thanks for the cache.

Approached this one from the top and made the walk down. Lots of muggles exercising here today so had to be stealthy.
GPS was a little jumpy and looked like it was leading me into someones back garden. Felt a bit uneasy so walked out from under cover to get a reading and then also looked at the hint. Cache was shortly in hand.
Thanks for hiding this and bringing us here. Another of those 'if not for geocaching...' ones for us.

Good find, don't know how I missed it on a previous search. Dropped off a trackable. TFTC
We started on down the steps then realized we should have come in from the bottom end. Never mind the exercise was worth it. The cache was easily found as it was a bit exposed, so I covered it again with some of the local camo.
Nice easy find with sharmander nice little spot, before heading back for rest of caches tftc
Nice hiding spot. Didn't take too long to find once we were in the right spot. TFTC 
We decided w'd head back out east today carrying on from where we left off last Sunday. This was our first stop for the day as we came down from the top. A quick find here. TFTC!
I had some time between and after work commitments today so managed to fit in a drive around in this area to find a few caches. Approached from below, made a quick find here and then on and up the apples and pears to another nearby cache. TFTC, Biggles.
Nice quick find while in the area doing some caching for the August cache challenge. TFTC
As this was to be my last day staying in the Half Moon Bay / Bucklands Beach area I went for a walk with Samora534 in an attempt to clear all my unfound caches here (I didn't succeed in that 
) but this was the first of 5 finds thus morning. Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Nice easy find on a surprisingly sunny day -nice day to be by the beach. PINO TFTC
Back to pick up son and find another regular sized cache.
Glad I'd done the one further up the day before, as it was now raining, so glad to have a closer cache to find. TFTC

Out here with angeshirl today and with a dedicated jogger doing as many sets of the stairs as they could we dashed in to make the find while the coast was clear. Then tackled the stairs ourselves to try for a few more while we were here. TFTC
Made a quick dash for the cache in between masochistic runners doing laps up and down the stairs. TFTC.
Being another hot day, we were happy we didn't have to climb all thoses steps 
; TFTC.

Glad we approached this from the top and walked down the stairs to the GZ. A few health junkies running up and down the stairs had to be avoided to quickly grab this one. tftc
A quick find on a wet, grey, yet superb geoday. In the first spot I checked.
Thank you for placing this cache.

The Adams Family negotiated their way down to the cache - Mum hauling the pushchair was last to get to GZ... by that time 8YO had made yet another find for the day.
While at GZ there was a person running up and down the stairs - boys were curious as to why someone would want to do this... Mum and Dad were in agreement!
Off to the next cache - will we get to 100 by the end of the day???

I found this one really quickly (Mum hadn't even got down the stairs before I found it!)
We had to be really sneaky because there was someone running up and down the stairs when we were there!

Understood the title when we saw the placement. Left the car here to walk the circuit and pick up all the caches in the area. Fantastic day for a walk and great caches to be found while out in the company of Pagenz.
A man had left his children at the top and was running up and down, as i dragged my bike past. Some people take this exercise thing far to seriously.
Approached from the wrong way but got there in the end
Quick find on a walk with Mrs HC
Cache was a bit exposed so recovered.
