CO intervention required. MaxAdventurer, Baxter360, EverestHigh and I searched every nook and cranny at gz but there was no cache to be found.
I think the Bogey Man muggled this cache. It was not at GZ in the obvious place, or any other place within 10 m. Could CO do a cache check and replace if missing. Thanks for bringing me to this beautiful spot.
A relatively easy find in a stunning spot! We watched the sea spray and the beautiful vista. TFTC!
Not sure the cache was in its correct hiding position as it was a bit exposed. Could definitely do with some attention from the CO
Tried to find it last week, but couldn't find it and couldn't really look because of muggles. Today was much quieter, so we managed to find it in 2 minutes! TFTC!
Find No: 6274. Nice sunny day to get out and about, thanks for the cache Team Bounty26!!
Great spot, would never have come here if not for the gc! I could see the cache but there were multiple groups of muggles around, which made retrieval difficult. I waited until they were all looking the other way before making the grab. And then waited again to return it! Worth the effort though, tftc.
Arrived at GZ to find a few muggles taking selfies. They soon left and the place was clear to make the grab as cache is reachable without going outside the fence although Mr C had to grovel a little. SLTNLN. Our first time down here. Thanks Team Bounty
Tftc
Found and signed after letting the dog have a run in the off leash area. Bit damp and slippery retrieving, finally got this one of the map.
Dropped a traveller to enjoy the view.

Hidden spot. Have to be small to reach it. Couple muggles around but when they looked away got my small friend to grab it. Waves were crashing as high as the top walk. Would recommend a non windy day with hardly and muggles.
No way we could reach this one safely & didn't want to take the risk with our Tiny Sleuth going under there! Very awesome spot for a cache though!
I could see the cache but without jumping the safety fences and doing some crawling there is no way I was getting that cache, no matter how long my arms are. Maybe a visit from the CO is in order?
Found with both of my sons on a morning trip around town finding caches.
This was our third stop. Parking near the pergola and playground we walked down, down, down to this cache. We went right down to the water, before heading back up to the cache. Five muggles went swimming, so while everyone was watching them, I got my five year old monkey to retrieve the cache for me, while I held firmly onto my little one. After signing, he returned it again and we took the steps up, up up to the next cache. The cache was not utalising its magnetic properties, so may not be where it was supposed to be. Maybe the CO should check it out.
Thanks for the walk, ocean views and cache!

My arms aren't long enough! And an umbrella might be handy if you sit under the lamp post. Those cormorants perching up there have no shame.
Thanks for the cache, Team Bounty26.
Thanks for the cache, Team Bounty26.
Had to wait out a group of young muggles standing right ontop of GZ. Eventually they went and i was able to go in for a quick find. SL and replaced cache without any problems. TFTC
I was up early this morning and thought it might be nice and quite at the GZ. I still had to wait for Muggles to leave the area but eventually retrieved the log and a couple of TB's.
TFTC.

Picked a gap in the muggles and made a quick find. Coords are spot on. TNLN TFTC
I could see the container but there were far too many muggles about to risk grabbing it. I'll be back for this one before leaving Newcastle.
Upon arriving on the scene decided to attack from the "WRONG" side but it did give me some insight as to where it was so was able to get it and sign log, return and leave without a muggle in sight.
Good to have a cache here as it is such an interesting area for visiting cachers
Thanks Team Bounty26 for the cache.

This was an interesting cache to find. Guessed where it might be hidden on approach to GZ, but even then had to take the first option suggested and extend the arm full length to be able to retrieve the cache. Once the cache was opened and the log was signed, decided to move the trackable on. Dropped off another trackable instead. All was replaced as it had been found. Thanks to Team Bounty26 for this cache.
After picking something up from in town i drove at this way to try and grab this one again after being out muggled the other week. the weather wasn't pleasant with strong winds and a large swell and it was threatening to rain so i was hoping no one would be around. However that was not to be and there were at least two groups of people checking out the view of the swell and taking photos. so i waited and watched the swell as a sprinkle of rain started. This meant everyone left and i had the place to myself. i found it quickly, signed and replaced before anyone else arrived. TFTC
Well, i finally know where the bogey hole is!!! Went down for the cache and also to scope out the area. Definitely going to have to return later. There were quite a few people here so i was thinking i would have to return later. As i was leaving the cache caught my eye, figured how to retrieve it, then got it without being caught, put it back and watched some really cool splashes. Tftc!!! #988! A fav for me
A nice evening walk with Dino, Pebbles, Betty and UncleGrog. The aim was to do the two caches high and low in this seashore park.
Good hide I hope that will last a while ( we were not sure what the magnets were for though).
We have fond memories of these baths, spent some nice day with the family here a couple years back.
We left a couple TBs coming with us from Europe. Good luck on your travels
On the way back we went through the Garside Gardens back up. Nice spot even locals UncleGrog had not seen from these angels.

STF Today the weather is very variable. Sometimes the sun shines, sometimes we have to wait a while, as it rains. At the promenade is very busy, since here a triatlon takes place and therefore many muggles are on the way. We could find some containers, also Earthcaches were determined. A great landscape and we had fantastic views.
Thanks to all the owners of Moorhelmis from Germany

Find #1201 **FTF**
Usually on a weekday we stand little chance of getting a FTF, and today, when the notification came out, there seemed a bare glimmer of hope - we had dental appointments, so the lad was coming home from school early, and had no after school committments..... That was the longest sit in the dentist's chair ever, with an unfound cache awaiting..... then the after school pickup traffic all the way through Newcastle was slower than ever.
We parked at our nearby cache, and legged it straight line for the 'bogey man', down the dog off lead area, and then down the steps. All the while expecting to meet one of our esteemed FTF experts coming back the other way! At GZ there was a group of foreign tourists taking photos, and the GPSr read 2m as we walked among them. They seemed unperturbed as we grabbed the cache and did our 3rd FTF high fives.....
Some great views here today for sure...
Thanks for the cache (and making it a nice size too) Team Bounty26
