Dangerous lots of broken glass. Not for kids. Slippery slope

Hi FunkyMonkeyz,

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to **post a note** (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Lovely reunion with Domsky, Snickersallan and Tenkae (Team TEDS ‍️). Signed the logs for the challenge cache in the area, found some other caches nearby and a suitable lunch at the Full Moon Restaurant for our lunacy.

Tried looking for this multi-DNFs. No cache here. Lots of broken glass and rubbish, not really a playground. No wonder there's no favourite point. A CITO event might be better than a traditional.

5 pairs of eyes searched for 20 minutes ... no luck today

Extremely dangerous ️. Now for a long wait at the hospital to get glass out of hand.

Cache owner might need to check the cache!

Not a great one for small kids to try discover.

Lots of broken glass, children were scared.

To dangerous for children to search for. Lots of broken glass on slippery hillside

Found the tree. Nothing was there

The amount of rubbish etc here makes this a dangerous place for a cache, found tree but no cache

An afternoon bike ride in the area made me have a quick stop and find here.

Amazing how much rubbish and broken glass in on this slope.

Thanks to my ever willing geohubby for scrambling up the Slippery Slope to retrieve the cache.

I stayed lower down the hill while D.D went to make the find. The map wouldn't stay still to we could never figure out it we were on top of it, 4m past it, or had to climb higher!

Found with trickyt today. Trying out his new mode of transport. Had a little trouble here and had almost given up. Tried the obvious spot with no luck. lets have another look while retreating back to the transport. Well that is some quite tricky hide. All good with your cache.

Not 1st spot checked out.

I have a memory of being here before some time back. Obviously without success. Today with Stairman1 we worked our way up to the top checking about all the trees. Had started back down ready to give it a dnf when Stairman1 spotted it. Thanks FunkyMonkeyz

No luck for us three here today. Loads of broken glass, as advertised. Thanks anyway, FunkyMonkeyz.

Very good hiding spot when out with 70 grandma and she fell down the hill been in hospital for 4 hours but worth it. We did leave in till we found it. Grandma wasn’t happy that geo when before her #geolife people started yelling out us to help grandma but we would listen they had to call the ambulance for her. We meet her in hospital after the geo #geobeforegrandma can be a little slippery I think I’m not getting her inheritance #yolo

Very fun find, make sure to wear good shoes or you might fall down the hill like my friend did!

Had a nice slide back down the hill after

Having trouble with our nav. Bit slippery so will have to come back

We crawled around in the trees it was fun

Watch out for the glass and bottles

I unsuccessfully searched for this cache a few years ago and as I was driving past it again today, I decided to have another attempt.

15 minutes of slipping, sliding and struggling and I finally located the cache. Then it was a slide to get back down.


TFTC FunkyMonkeyz

Went searching for this one with Mr9 and the geo-dog but to no avail. GZ is in an area I usually wouldn't let Mr9 explore at this time of year so we were a little nervous about snakes (which we didn't see) and spiders (which we did).

#4891 [12:18] found with blech today during waiting for take-away lunch thanks, my flip flops can confirm it's slippery slope

I was out today to get a cache to keep my streak alive.

Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. FunkyMonkeyz TFTC *471* streak. *2817* Finds

Grabbing some caches here for leap-day numbers.
First I found an I pad cover that looked like the lid of a larger container. Then I found the pet-preform

All good here

Thank you for hiding this one

Found what looked like lid but no cache to be found.

Nice easy find. Out here in Sandgate for a walk along to waterfront. Nice breazy day and kites. Lovely

Found before Christmas but forgot too log. Fun climb back up

Today I decided to head out by myself to clean up a bit of green around the Sandgate/Shorncliffe area.

With today looking like a nice overcast day, it was the perfect day for caching. So off I went armed with my trusty umbrella and giant water bottle, I hit the paths and tracks in search of some caches.

It was a great afternoon out, not too hot, not too cold. Perfection I must say. All in all a great day to be outdoors.

Find #551 - TFTC

Container was full of water and all the log sheets were totally sodden. Have placed a preform in cache spot as well so at least there is a usable log to sign.

Found this one in late June and forgot to log! Took the kid and I a little while to find it!

Quick easy find this morning. Great view - but it might make the Lorax sad!

Log is wet - I’ve replaced the plastic bag so hopefully the replacement log stays nice and dry.

TB visit

Thanks for taking me here!

Quick easy find thanks
Caution to the amount of broken glass in the area

Cache was wet , open and had obviously been tampered with. No tb’s in cache as suggested.

Out with Haltija exploring Brisbane after a conference. The container is a little old and in need of some love and the log is a little damp. Otherwise fun cache. Thanks.

Boy that sure *is* a slippery slope!
Thanks to the good hint we knew where to look. All is ok here.
Thanks for the cache FunkyMonkeyz. That was a bit of fun.

Cache was very visible today so tried to cover it up a bit more. The area is not very child friendly, so suggest leaving kids in the car as there are many glass shards as well as bottles around. It was not too steep a climb and we found it pretty easily.

Myself and others DNF. As the name suggests it’s a slippery slope, rough underfoot, wear enclosed shoes and be careful. We won’t be going back.

Nice cache that took us on an adventure. The name says it all.TFTC

A nice little scramble

Had a decent day caching despite the rain with Moneydork and Oddiewan. We had some thrills and some laughs and definitely some smiles. TFTC

Caching with Semik and $dork on a not so raining BRISBANE day. Nice find log very wet
TFTC

Found it after a drunken night out at the full moon. Tftc. No pen will be back to sign log.

Needed to find a traditional to fill in my calendar for a challenge today. I parked up ,walked down too far then walked up too far to a tree i thought looked like the obvious hiding spot but it wasnt. Walked a little bit down and spotted the cache. Container was a little wet inside so i dryed it out. Log book is just a little wet but was able to still write my name. I came prepared with a zip lock bag and log book that i popped in this cache . Only had an almost slip a couple of times . Lucky it was dry today otherwise it would be a very slippery slope. Thanks for placing this cache here for us to enjoy.

Found today but the Cache container was very wet.
The log book was completely water logged beyond being able to just dry it out.
I won’t post a needs maintenance log because I know how painful they are.

Nice quick find while in the area

fairly easy find, cache is soaking wet and the area is covered in rubbish and broken glass, not really suitable for a cache.

Watch out for broken glass. Container has water at the bottom and the log is soaked. Took tb. Tftc.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Found it with TBU1bikesu. Tftc

Slippery when wet and slippery when dry. Left a TB. Tftc

Use to go to the church on the corner as kids and where I met my beautiful wife when in our teens, so this find brought back a lot of memories.
Had a container for our geo-treasures on us, so we replaced the broken container with ours, so it should protect the log and contents now. TFTC.

Decided to try this one after dropping the kids off and having 30 opening. I had briefly looked for this one in the past but only had 10 mins then Today widened my search and bingo up popped a cache. TFTC note cache is still in same poor condition as indicated in other logs

With the hiking boots on,
this slope presented no problems
An easy cache find after a short stroll.

That cache container needs a new lid though !!
It is half hole [:o]

TFTC.

4/10/18 up a very slippery slop, but still a quick find. TFTC

Didn’t want to run into snake so didn’t dig too deep

Hi

Found it but the contain lid was broken. Log book was still inside but all the trackables were gone.
TFTC tho.

Very sneaky geo
This was my first experience with this
Thx for the fun

Too hard for these old ducks

NEEDS MAINTENANCE

Don’t attempt in thongs/flip flops/jandals!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

My little lad had been playing at his friend's home, but at some point there was some disagreement about what games to play and how to play them, and next thing he was reduced to tears. This was the cue for a time-out so that the kids could reset and feel happy about life again.

This was also a good excuse for me to look for a few caches in the area because we would be on our way back to Sydney the following day, and I had not yet had a chance to make a find around here.

Thus, with a little boy backing me up we stopped here at the little green patch and I checked out where the cache might be located. The name certainly gives a good indication, and I was wondering whether it would be better to approach this one from below, rather than from above where we now stood. Eventually, I opted to try from above and made my way down the slippery slope. It wasn't really a problem, and soon I spotted the container.

Alas, the lid is severely cracked and will not provide any protection from the rain. Thus, a quick heads-up about a bit of maintenance that would be in order.

Once the log was signed and everything put back, I made my way up the hill again so that we could continue our excursion to the jetty.

Note that the vegetation in this area is protected (photo taken elsewhere, but the sign is the same), so tread lightly when searching for the cache.

This was the first cache on a long walk today and I ended up with 36 finds and one DNF in this lovely part of the world. All the bottles here were not quite so lovely but nice to see these large Moreton Bay Ash trees holding on here on the slippery slope. After a bit of a bee dance I found it. The lid is cracked so it will be full of water next time it rains!
Thanks FunkyMonkeyz

Fter few beers. The book is wet and to cover broken. Needs maintenance

Found it but cracked and water damaged. The trackbles are gone too. Sorry I don’t have a spare container

Today I headed out to Shorncliffe to get some caches which have unique attributes to help me towards qualifying for some of the new stats hound challenges. This cache didn't have said attributes, but was close to some that did. I have found a cache near here in the past so I knew the area. I approached from the bottom, got the where my GPS said GZ was and found broken glass...looked at the cache size, oh a regular, can't be here. Pulled myself up to where it looked like a cache might be hidden, but nope. Widened my search area and spied it on the way down. Relieved to find it after that hide. There is rather a lot of broken (and unbroken) glass in this area . TFTC

Yep. Wood v been ezr 2 come down, not up. . . but TFTC

A tough location

Yay! We regained some confidence after a terrible fail along the foreshore finding nothing. This little beauty popped its head up.

We need some numbers for a milestone and the sun was shining so Mrs B and I left the kids at home and headed to Sandgate to find a few caches. Unfortunately, the sun had gone by the time we finished but we still enjoyed a morning without the kids.

This was our first stop for the day and a quick easy find

Out with Selva Girls today clearing areas and claiming smilies. I had found the cache which was in this spot previously, and I have to say I enjoyed the scramble about as much this time as I did the last. Broken glass and hidden bottles, despite being in the description do not make for a very safe gz in my opinion, however I guess you can fall out of tree looking for a cache too, so live and let live. Happily this container was lower down and easier to find than its predecessor so it took much less time to make the find and add my name. Thanks for the challenge and the cache FunkyMonkeyz.

As I was applying sunscreen and popping on my trainers in the car, He-Squirrel wandered down the slope towards the presumed target. By the time I joined him he felt as though he’d completed an exhaustive search, but wanted to try searching for it from the bottom up...We’re going to have to return on another day though because we took a wrong turn, so began collecting the caches on our new trajectory.

Worked from the bottom up GPS was all over the place. But Mrs canuck spotted this one on the way down. TFTC

Great find

Spent a long time looking for this one with no luck. I'd recommend not looking for this cache with the amount of broken glass on the hill. I slipped several times, on my last fall I slid onto broken glass and cut my leg in 3 places. Maybe if the CO could move the cache to a different area where no broken glass is? It's very dangerous. Did approach it from the bottom but could not find.

Heut hab ich mich mal für einen Tag von unserer kleinen Reisegruppe abgeseilt und einen kleinen Powertrail abgelaufen. Um 10.00 Uhr bin ich gestartet und nach 7 Stunden und 20,5 auf Schusters Rappen zurückgelegten Kilometern kam ich zwar ziemlich geschafft aber auch mit vielen neuen Eindrücken von diesem wunderschönen Land am Auto wieder an. Alle angesteuerten Dosen konnte ich leider nicht finden, aber cachen in Australien ist dann doch ein wenig anders als in Deutschland, nicht zuletzt schon wegen des letzten Griffes ins ungewisse. Spinnen, Echsen, Schlangen und ähnliches Getier.
Vielen Dank an FunkyMonkeyz sagt der Steinbeißer98 aus Germany

Out for a loop on the bike and a coffee stop nearby. I've ridden past this so many times so it was time to cross this one off the list.

Nice fun find for our return to the world of geocaching

Second last day in the Clontarf for a while, so converting a few more smilies across Bramble Bay. Attempted earlier today from the top, but decided it would have to be better from the bottom, so came back and tried again. Mr D went up, but still no joy.

Thanks FunkyMonkyz for the hide, but no joy today,

Was attracted to this one by the DT rating. Parked at the bottom and slipped and slid my way to an easy find. Thanks FunkyMonkeyz

Tftc a tough climb

Found it.

Certainly a slippery slope! A quick find once at GZ.

Thanks for the cache FunkeyMonkeyz

Great to be out caching and this was one we targetted and found. Thanks to FunkyMonkeyz for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area. Left trackable and took trackable but not the one listed on the cache page it was one marked as missing.

Awesome cache! Def the worst of slopes with that much glass on there.
Tracker bug left! Happy hunting!

We attempted this one from the bottom, as we thought it may be easier this way. There sure is a lot of broken glass here. Looks like people really like to throw things over the edge and even saw a pair of gold slippers. We narrowed the search down to couple of likely spots, and pretty soon had the geocache in our hands which is a good size!
Thanks for hitting us this way and for the geocache. We are loving our meander around Shorncliffe and Sandgate today.

Not wrong about the glass
