Hi there Beckety,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.
You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)
**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers (more's the pity), so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, you have been in hospital, the area is in flood, or some other reason that has prevented attending to the cache, they can't tell what is going on.
You need to post a note to the page (within 14 days) explaining the situation and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
Be sure to indicate **the actual date that you expect to have it fixed** so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please **post a Write Note log every 4 to 6 weeks,** so as to keep everyone up to speed.
- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.
Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
Thanks for your cooperation,

Had to leave behind my boyfriend and his bung knee and do this cache solo. It was a fun climb with a beautiful view, with the hopes of delivering a trackable to this awesome spot.
After 45mins and a heap of guilt for making Steven wait, I was unable to find this cache. I’m definitely coming back again for some sweet glory, see you soon

Thanks for the great views. We spend over 80minutes looking methodically in every place. There is so many places it could be! Sent out a PAF and a previous finder was so helpful with smaller hints to narrow it down, and then as we had come down, sent a big spoiler. Up we go again! However after a big search, the goods was a negative. Blue skies, warm weather so not all was lost!
After carefully scaling the bridge with LittleBoss2, we've spent about 40min searching, looking at logs, and trying to work out where exactly opposite meant. Thanks anyway, too good for us today. Views are good though
It had been a few years since we last attempted this cache, and we were feeling a bit more confident heading in on this occasion.
A scramble up a familiar rock took us to gz, but after about an hour of searching, we arrived at the same result as the time before.
Perhaps we'll be third time lucky!
Thanks for the adventure nonetheless, Beckety

Had this cache on my radar for a long time now and managed to convince the gang to come with me to find this on our trip away, such a beautiful location, thank you so much for this cache!
After climbing up and having no luck around the half way up mark I decided to go right to the top. After about 10 minutes I finally had the cache in hand and I must say it was camouflaged in well with the hidey hole. Views were spectacular, thanks for bringing me to this area and tftc
What an amazing little spot and quite a tricky climb just at the start. After that it was an easy climb but more tricky to find the hidey hole.
Wonderful day at cacheing with Geo mum Xambo4u.
Didn't think we would get this one today but so glad we did

Out and about with pimpmyballoons for a lovely Mother’s Day lunch and some caching is a part of the plan. What a magic part of the world this is. There was no discussion on who was to go up for this one. I did some directing while the younger model made the ascent. Checked out many hallows up there and then made the very tricky descent. FEW that was exciting. Thanks for the cache Beckety. Enjoyed the walk along the beach but made the return straight up.
Got lucky at close to low tide, but took a look through the cave and from the west side and it still looked much too wet! Ended up climbing up the east side (very safely) to the top where the timber/chains are. Had no luck at all scouring the many crevices on the west side for the prize - maybe I was too high? Be safe people, on a windy day or with a rough sea, this could be very sketchy. I was fortunate the the weather was lovely and I'm experienced hiking/climbing - will be back to try again one day!
Finally found it , 3rd time's a charm. Gps was bouncing everywhere didn't realise how close i was all this time. Love this spot
Found at 12:04 PM GAFF3.
Are we allowed to go up here? Well if there is a cache up there, then I am sure you are allowed
Managed to scramble up and then started to look close around the memorial, but there was nothing there! So after a few moments the scope was expanded and a much higher degree of investigation was employed until the little well embellished container was spotted [^]
Took a photo of the view and now to get down, which was a bit trickier than getting up let me tell you!
Thanks Beckety

Couldn’t climb up there today. To much water at 4pm. Beautiful day for a walk on the beach though
Out with Master 12 last weekend and we clambered up the rocks for a straight forward find. Mr Oystercatcher wasn't very happy with us squeeking at us in anger, assuming he had a nest a cross the way. A great spot, thank you Beckety
I was out this way scoping out a temporary cache hunt that I was putting out as a birthday treat for a friend. That meant an early morning visit down here where my only company appeared to be the surfers. Fortunately the tide was out so after looking at the info for the earth cache I decided to tackle this traditional. I assume the time will come when Big Brother decides we are not allowed to climb this so I’m glad I got in when I could. Planned a plotted a route that I thought would be easiest and safest and off I went. No dramas but unfortunately no cache either. After a decent search I sent off a PAF message for a hint. I had a couple of other ideas about where it might be so I went back to ground level and tried another approach. Still no joy but by now my PAF help pointed me back to a spot I had been in already. With that help I was able to finally get the cache in hand. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables. Thanks for the cache Beckety. This one earns a favourite point from me.
Thanks for that nice geobox. It was my second one ever. The first one was full of pee, so yours gave me motivation to continue this!
Clambered up to gz but after an extensive search didn't get anything but a couple of nice photos.
Calm, sunny and muggle-free today, thanks for bringing us here.

Down in the area FTF Hounding, but with the belief that the gates do not open until 10am, I had a few hours to collect some caches.
This looked a lovely area, and I just enjoyed walking around taking photos, and then I was stunned when I stepped around a rock to see another person taking photos. After a quick chat, more photos were taken and the lady walked off.
While waiting for her to turn around the corner, I planned my route up and after searching a few places on the way up, got to the top and took some more photos. I then wondered where I would hide a geocache and was signing the log book at 9 am

Nice find
Absolutely loved the climb up to GZ what a cool spot this is.
I was here with previous finders Sims_family, AusFox; and n0w0rries
thanks for the cache and sorry for the late logging

Went to check on cache and possibly replace but cache is still there and in good order! Woo
This one got the better of me today, even with a previous finder in toe. TFTH Beckety
Found with the boys after a short drive from Sorrento. Braved the climb despite the warning sign and obvious evidence of a recent rock fall in the cave. We climbed inside the cave and up through the smaller hole on the west side. Found the well hidden treasure after about 5 minutes looking everywhere, signed and returned out of sight of all onlookers. Great spot. Cheers!
We were out this way for another cache and when we saw how many people were making use of the landmark we decided to give it a crack. Fortunately by the time we made it, heading up the west side, the top was clear. Definitely a good idea attempting it a low tide and long legs helped follow the track the fisherman were clearly enjoying.
A great view at the top and after completing another multi searching holes we were thinking we could be here a while. Did a loop and spotted a well covered cache and thanked our caching karma we found it so quickly. A fav for the great view before sunset. TFTC

Very high muggle area. All of us attracted to the amazing view of this natural beauty. We could clearly see where we needed to be, but how to get there. Went west side as recommended and found a way up. What a great spot. Thank you very much for placing a cache here for us to find, and sharing such a wonderful spot. TFTC Beckety.

Had to go up again!! I love this spot no matter what time of day or year this is just an awesome climb and adventure! :3
Nyochi found it! It was high tide and I chickened out climbing up the vertical side! I climbed it last week - so I am claiming it in spirit as I was half way there! I’ve seen it by picture now!! Awesome spot!! Thanks!
Joined up with Simsfamily to grab a few caches along the coast.
Made our way the London Bridge not liking our chances with the recent DNF's and our earlier start to the day. We spent about 15m searching every nook and cranny until the cache was spotted.
An awesome spot to enjoy the coast line.
Log signed and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache Beckety

With a Stupid o'clock start Ausfox; and myself traveled around the bay for a day of caching in and around water and sand. The time of the tide was such that the stupid o'clock start was the only way things would be possible . Oh well more time for the hunting by getting there so early.
After working our way around to London Bridge were were a little confused by the notes saying to access from withing the cave and after a bit of exploring we found our way to the top via a different route.
Once there we hunted around for a good 15 minutes and it was Ausfox; who finally caught s glimpse of it.
Thank you Beckety fro bringing to this great place to explore. A favourite from me

Completed a nearby multi and saw this on the map, oddly reading 149m away. Anyway, after carefully checking possible approaches I made the climb and began the search. With GPS less than 1m , I checked every hidey hole I could find, checked further away, behind, around, etc. Figured I could see what the clue may refer to but still no luck. Not saying its not here but I did give the area a thorough search and came up empty handed. Thanks for a great climb and adventure though
Found this cache last year and since it was an amazing day i thought i would have to scale this awesome sculpture once again :3
Must be having to much fun exploring since i just couldnt find this bugger where it once was, just an excuse to do it again sometime

With an in between tide this looked doable without getting wet and the swell and wind were both low. We followed the well worn track up the rock and it took a bit of searching to make the well covered hid. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC.
Its lovely day drive and walk with geo group Crank1, Pwala and Whitepaws9 and thank you for show us.
The weather has been good most of the day, however, on my way back home, the rain has been pouring heavily. I could barely see the road. Enjoyed the day out at Portsea area with Crank1, Laker63 & Whitepaws9. Thank you to Beckety for the cache and our day most enjoyable and fun. This one is my fav of the day.
What can I say... Just love it here...
Enjoy wandering around here.
Thanks Beckety for bring me here and cache. (excellent condition)

We had ventured here a while back
But hesitancy and a string of DNFs caused a delay in the assault
But not today
Scaled the fortress and grabbed the treasure within
Beachgoers oblivious
Great spot

After DNFing this cache yesterday I decieded that with Ikkibrady joining me as we made our way to the final of a nearby multi that we should give this one another crack. After messaging the CO yesterday saying that I could not find it they made there way down and replaced it. Ikkibrady was keen to put me in my place and find it for me saying how could I have missed it. To which I said that was not there yesterday. This was confirmed by the log being empty and the date of when the CO put the cache in..... .Today anyway I was happy to be the first one to find this in a long time and score some unlove. Anyways thanks for the cache and the adventure in this amazing little place of the coast

Sadly this was the only cache that I could not find today, even with a PAF I was unable to find the cache. Hopefully the CO will be able to confirm if the cache is still there. And I will return soon to claim my smiley on this one.
A few DNF's have promptted me to temporarily disable. I will hopefully have this up and running by the new year

What an epic spot to put a geocache, it is such a pity that we could not find it. We spent an hour hunting every little nook trying to find it, but no luck. We are hoping that it was just a failure to find on our behalf but fear that it may have gone missing. The view, however, was worth the climb up and a we took a moment to remember what life was like before the geokid joined our family.
Niggles muggles everywhere BUT a determined cacher never gives up. Amazing surf today
Took us a few goes to get to this one. It is super dangerous so be super careful. Amazing location,
Headed out this morning to show a couple muggle friends why I love geocaching!!
We approached the gz quickly and started climbing, and after a short amount of time the cache was in hand.
A fav for me, fantastic location!!

This is the type of cache that MMelb likes to do so it was on our holiday list. We checked the tide times and chose the early morning when there would be few people around. Sure enough there were only a couple of children at Gz. The weather was ideal - cool but fine. We walked down to the beach and into the 'cave'. After a quick look around we climbed though a hole in what I think was the North side of the bridge (ie not the main ends). Climbing up the West side as instructed we had no difficulty today, easily going up from one level to the next. At no stage was there any real danger. Great views from the top and the monument to look at. We looked around or a few minutes and checked the hint. MMelb then spotted the cache coming back to the monument. From closer in I was able to extract the cache. We were slightly confused by the term 'opposite' which to me was West. In any case the cache was reasonably easily found. We went down and continued to have a good look around. A fun cache which we enjoyed. A fav. Thanks Beckety

Apart from the climb being a risk, wwe also noted on the sign in the car park asking people not to climb on London Bridge.
14:36
We looked high, we looked low, we looked in, we looked out, but today there was no way we could work this one out! After 30min we resorted to a PAF to a recent finder, even with explicit instructions, GPSr on "0" at the described GZ and another 15min searching, we were still cacheless.
Thanks anyway to Beckety for bringing us to this location.

Today the weather was magic so headed out with the family to do some rock climbing and have a picnic on the beach.
We arrived here a couple of hours after low tide and after a bit of a wade though the waves and a not too hard climb I was at the top.
I was a little concerned when the last searcher looked around for a hour but I made the find within seconds of arriving at GZ. Very happy about that. My wife then took a photo from the bottom of me on top of the world and I headed back down very satisfied with my quick find and the awesome location.
Thanks Beckety for the cache, the hunt and the fun. A favourite from me.

No good! Made our way to the top without trouble, however we were unable to find the cache despite scrambling and searching for nearly an hour. Even had a small drone fly over and check us out. Had to abandon our search when the tide started to cut off our escape route. Gutted after so much effort..
Cache day out in Point Nepean with Jacko83.
Started at the ferry terminal just before 8:00 am.
This was out twelfth find for the day.
Wow! What an adventure.
After finding all the caches in the park (except the night caches) we parked up top and walked down to the Bridge.
After entering the cave an taking some photos, we climbed through the window and attempted to get on the roof.
We failed miserably, so it was back through the cave for a new line of attack.
Jacko83 made it up onto the next level, so I was determined to join him.
I removed my jacket, shoes and socks and emptied my pockets into my jacket.
Tied my laces together and hung my shoes around my neck.
A good thing too as, at one stage I found out that the "wet way" was waist deep.
I climbed up to drier land and put my shoes back on, then worked my way up to the memorial.
Took lots of photos and had a good look around, Jacko83 had found the cache on the ground, in plain view of anyone who ventured up here.
After adding our signatures to the log, the cache was put back a little, out of sight.
Not long after, I discovered the geomobile key in my sopping wet jeans.
Fortunately it worked just fine when we returned to the car park.
This is also our 44th D/T rating.
A favourite point for the cache, the adventure and for bringing us here.
Thank you Beckety.

This end of the bay was the closest unfound caches to home for me, so up early for the 7am ferry from Queenscliff with the bike being propelled by the geomutt.
MNet up with Noworries and at 8am started Pt Nepean and finished the day at 5pm.
This one has been on the must do list for some time, and despite wind and rain wasn't going to let it get the better of me!
Scrambed over the rock a bit before finding a safe way to get up top - at one point i climbed up and was a bit to close to the edge - careful Greg...once halfway up I looked for where NW was... strewth! In the water climbing up - good on ya mate! He soon joined me up top in triumph.
This has been found by muggles - who wrote they added in a menthol for fresh breath - which has melted and made the log and everything else sticky...thanks guys...
Took a barrage of photo's and took in the views with my mate Noworries - both stoked to be here - living the dream! A massive fave point from me for the adventure!
MNet up with Noworries and at 8am started Pt Nepean and finished the day at 5pm.

Catching up on some logs that I have discovered hadn't been published yet. As always I have enjoyed the challenge of looking for and finding this cache.
Many thanks Beckety for placing this cache .

We came this way today with micaparamedic with the intention of doing the nearby earth cache but with this one so close we could not resist trying it.
We could not use the tunnel as the water was a bit high so we found a different way up.
Micaparamedic made it look easy but I really struggled on some parts but it was worth it to get a smiley on this one.
Once the log was signed we found a different way down which seemed a bit safer to descend but meant getting our feet a bit wet.
Many thanks Beckety for the hide and exercise.

This cache has been on our to do list for so long. Nut bear and I have been here to do this cache before but the tide was wrong and the wind just about blew us off the cliff. I wanted something special as my 1400th find and this seemed like the perfect one. With low tide at 11.30am and very little wind today was the perfect day. We explored the cave for a while as there was a large group of muggles on the sand but as soon as they left we were off and up. We made the climb with no problems at all and were very surprised how quickly we were up on top. After admiring the view and taking lots of photos it was Nut bear who made the find in the first place she looked. Loved the container and the perfect hiding place for it.
Thank you Beckety for an awesome adventure and gets a definite favourite point from me......... I wish there were more caches like it.

I was so glad BorisB&Natasha and I were finally able to do this one. While waiting out some muggles we explored around and worked out the best plan of attack. The climb was a lot easier than either of us had anticipated. The views from the top are spectacular and we spent quite a while taking some great photos.
The cache was so well hidden I was amazed that I found it so quickly. Awesome camo too!!!!!
This one gets a big fav point from me and thanks for placing a cache in such a great place Beckety.

This cache has been on my to do list for a while but every time I had come here previously the tide was too high to get to it. Was in the area today so thought I would swing by to see if the tide happened to be low and indeed it was. I was amazed at how different the bridge looked during low tide it was as if it was a completely different formation. So pretty. I was actually just happy to play under the bridge for a little while. I eventually made the climb which was fairly hassle free apart from one small section but nothing I couldn't handle. The container was located soon enough after looking in various holes. A really enjoyable cache that I am glad I was able to do today. Just my type of adventure. Favourite point from me.

We were hopeful for the tide being in our favour this morning and it was [^] It was right in between so we quickly made our way down and enjoyed the surroundings while we made the climb. The first elevation change was the hardest and some careful foot placements had us up and on our way. It took us a few moments to locate this very well hidden cache. Loved the container, themed appropriately. Stamped and returned as found
I put the invitation to the Geelong FB group to see if anyone was interested in a day out down at the point. I only had one other that was interested so it was theTritonz and myself making a very early morning trip down here after a 5am alarm. We hoped to clean up the point but a few night caches stopped that happening. We had a great day out, picking up so great D/T combo's and enjoying the sights. Can't wait to be back for more.

With a 30 knot wind blowing directly on shore on a cold day we decided that Muggles might not be an issue and with the tide going out we headed in. Last time we went in, through and up, but at low tide it was much easier and today we just went up. We had the place to ourselves and started our search. It wasn't long before we were joined by 6 Japanese tourists. It was of course at that moment we found the cache but had to wait for them to move on before extracting it from its little hidey hole. The digital age has something to answer for; photos were taken from every angle and in every location. Eventually the cold started to get to them and they headed back. We grabbed the cache and signed before anyone else joined us. Glad it was in a safe place without us risking life and limb. TFTC
On a trip to Melbourne from Brisbane for a wedding.
IolantheK and I decided to do some caching while seeing the sights and today Portsea was the final destination [^]
I saw this cache and though I could do with a climb, but I reserved the final call to climb or not until i reached GZ.
Low tide, small seas, easy find [^]
Great views from here too
The cache is dry and in good condition [^]
A favourite point from me!!

This is our second attempt at this cache as last time it was the height of school holidays with muggles galore. Not a hope in hell trying to be stealth.
Today was another matter, only 1/2 a dozen people on the beach , so today was the day to do the climb and sign the log.
Thanks Beckety for bringing us here twice, giving us courage to climb this formation and bringing our attention to the memorial

Day 3 on the Mornington Peninsula with My Western Australian buddy, KB. Today's plan was to complete the BT caches that we had left as well as a few extras along the way. A great day all round and the best weather we've had on the Pen. Loved the variety of finds today as well!
We parked 1km away and walked along the beach on this sunny but rough windy day (in a rush we set out from the wrong car park but continued as it was a nice walk). I was very keen to put a smiley on this cache after my foolish DNF last December.
I climbed up and after a brief search uncovered the cache. Glad to see a fresh container and log book. Great views! Great spot! FP TNLNSL TFTC

Jamin things he tells a good story but really my catchphrase of "Jamin, we are dumbarses" when we miss a hide I think we should've found sooner, became, "Jamin, YOU are a dumbarse" at this cache. We had cached pretty hard during the afternoon and still had more caches to find. Jamin was insistent that we MUST head to this cache despite its isolated location. It sounded like a nice touristy place so I was happy to oblige. He guaranteed it was "only a 500m walk" maybe even less. In his haste though, we ended up in a carpark over a kilometre away, and not even on the road bearing the same name as the attraction. So, on weary legs we hiked over a kilometre each way in soft sand. It was rough at GZ; people were trying to climb close to the bridge but wet shoes were generally the result. I only climbed far enough to know that I could climb if I really had to, but I wasn't going to climb if Jamin could produce the goods; he owed me big time for a series of finds I made earlier in the afternoon. So, I retreated and watched a couple of bare foot tourists make the climb and took photos of Jamin's journey. It didn't take long before he held the cache aloft. Yay for Jamin!!! He stayed up there for ages - he's a huge flaffer but I also think he secretly tries any means of escaping the constant K.B. commentary. It's great that you have been willing to hide a cache in such a magnificent location and that you maintained it in perfect timing for my visit to the bay. Photos attached to show part of the adventure. Thanks Beckety; a favourite from me for the boyish excitement you unleashed in Jamin.

Hey everyone,
I finally had some time off to check to see if this cache is still there. Unfortunately it is not
I've placed a new sistema and logbook in what hopefully is a safer place!
New coords too.

Not sure if this one is still there. After climbing to the summit and to GZ we had a good look at the views and then started on the mission that had originally brought us here. We spent quite a bit of time looking (out stayed four different lots of Muggles.) Still to no avail and when we were the second DNF we were starting to wonder. As the tide was coming in we decided to give it a miss today and look forward to returning to this location on another occasion to pick up this cache.
Steve & Steph, Steph & Steve, looked everywhere, took lots of photos but couldn't find the cache, plz send a hint to [email protected]
Firstly, I must congradulat you for putting a cache in a spot which is interesting to get too! there are too many terrain 1.5's getting around and we need some more of a higher difficulty. Although, it was pretty easy for us as it was exactly on low tide when we were here. Underneath the bridge is excellent too! great rock pools at this tide were great. After making short work of the climb to the top, I found the cache almost instantly. The contianer was in a slightly sorry state. All shells from the outer surface have been removed, and the container was sitting in plain veiw, and at least 25m away form the listed coords. So after finding a secure location fro the container, less than a meter away from where I found it, I got some more acurate coords of where it is. May I suggest a smaller container for the location. It has done well to last this long, as the biggger the container, it seems that it is harder to hide in a 'muggle proof'; location.. Maybe a 200 or 400ml sistema is the go for here. Thanks for bringing us to an excellent location! TFTC!!!!
Merry Christmas. found with the help of the clues. Co ords are way off. signed log and returned. Thanks for the cache..
On arrival at GZ my GPS was saying it was in the water, this didn't change in the hour I spent here. I climbed all over the west face, high and low, and sometimes in more risky places than I cared to be. Quite frustrated to log a DNF here but I'll try again when I come back for a wedding at the end of the month.
Had a great time climbing around like a kid, but the heat got the better of me today, didn't help that my GPS was playing funny buggers with me.
Have read a heap more logs now (and seen the hint), I am sure I was taking photos near the cache at one point!

Out on another Sunday run with Ahomburg this time once more back in a very familiar region to hopefully find the handful of caches which still had not been found. Some great weather for climbing trees and other geological features and stuff.
An ideal day to attempted this one and we had manage to time the approacf at low tide. If the tide was up I would still think an approach is possible. After making the short climb up it was then a quick find made by Ahomburg while I was still admiring the views. Thanks for bringing me here. This spot is also popular with scuba diving too I saw today.
Heaps of dead birds seen on the beach on the walk in and the area did not smell like roses either..., yet these sun baking muggles did not seem to mind?? Odd... [?]

My caching mate SedgwickDave and I headed out on our regular weekend run, this time on a Sunday. With the weather promising an absolutely fabulous day of 30 degrees, the plan was to clean up as many unfound caches as we could along the peninsula.
Today was definately a perfect day to do this one. The sun was shining, so great for a walk along the beach. The tide was almost at its lowest, so no need to get wet at all for this one. As we walked along, we saw a sad sight of lots of dead sea birds along the high tide mark, not sure what happened there, but I am sure I would not want to lie on the beach surrounded by dead birds like the many muggles we passed on the way. Anyway, we got to GZ, made the climb and quickly located the cache.
Thanks to Beckety for the cache. TNLN

Wow it's been a while since this one was logged! Online, that is. Made the climb up to GZ and the CO is right, I wouldn't recommend doing it alone, but as I have no friends, I did it alone. Once I got to the top the find was easy, it was placed out in the open! Multiple muggles have logged this one over the previous few months. I replaced the cache in a more muggle secure place, but not to sure if it will stay that way. Loved the spot Beckety, a favourite from me!
Well, it was not my intention to chase this cache but we decided late that we would walk to London Bridge and back from Sorrento.
Luckily the tide was on my side and made a quick climb and find.
The Log book was a little damp and although I had spare baggies, the were in my backpack below and was not tempting two climbs today. It would need to be dried out properly before placing in a bag anyway.
Thanks for the interesting trip up.
