Stopped in here on the way home from a charity baking delivery. Spent a few minutes at the wrong level here until I realised that the title was more accurate a few steps down. Once I was at the right gz it was a quick find. I spent a few minutes clearing out old logbook wads that had been wedged in deep. I replaced them with a fresh log strip and a heavy duty ziplock. There’s no lid on the cache but hopefully this should keep it going for a while. Really impressed with how well Stonefield’s design allowed it to weather the recent storms. Thanks for the pew-tiful cache!

Found it and it seemed like it had been there for too long nowhere to write
 
10-Dec-22
Quick and easy find. Log paper was wet though.

That sure is a view! Crazy to think this used to be a quarry, and now it's filled in with houses that all look the same. I couldn't find the cache but I found two different wasp nests, one on each side of the stairs, which did put me off searching a bit.
 
I came here more than 4 years ago and couldn't make the find back then. It was quite frustrating and it turns out I had looked at all the wrong places.
Reading a lot of the previous logs, I was astonished that they all praised the good view they enjoyed, but they didn't leave any hints as to where they found the cache. Mmh, that's unusual. And then I found the cache, and now it all makes sense!!!

It is a really pretty (grey) view.

Log is unsignable, looks more like chewing gum right now...

Needed a cache for dot day today and this one fit the bill. It was en route to a friend I was visiting, had been found recently and was hopefully easy.

Parked up close by and went the short distance to GZ and found it nice and quickly.

Thanks for the cache.

A really great place to view this area!

Was surprised at the terrain, I guess I’ve never really seen the perspective from here.

Great vantage point.

Cache was easily found as well!

Thanks for leading me here!
