After several replacements, it appears someone is collecting this cache!. Maybe a mermaid?
 
31-Mar-18
Looks like the work of a feral muggle. After 14 years its had a good run but it it looks like its time is up. Disabling.


 
31-Mar-18
Muggled again.

Hubby spotted this one -I’d have been here forever. Cache empty at moment - no log to sign. It wasn’t where it was meant to be but we put it back Smile

Last of 16 for the day to bring up my 300th. I had nothing to do really, CacheClosed1847 and Bailes01 took me straight to it virtually having found it previously. A clever hide, an FP from me and in such a stunning location so close to home. TFTC #Three Hundred.
 
06-Nov-17
Out for a beautiful morning walk to find a few caches. Up the stairs, down the stairs, wait for muggles to pass and repeat. Took a bit of searching but eventually found that sneaky cache. Favourite point for the great hide.

13-Oct-17
Beautiful afternoon for a walk with views out over the ocean. I had to revisit this cache on my walk back as some muggles had followed me down. The wind wasn't helping my gps and I walked up and down before I decided on a spot to start searching. This was a very clever hide. A favourite from me. Tftc
 
08-Oct-17
A great cache worth a favorite point, found after a bit of a search

19-Sep-17
Thanks Smile
 
19-Sep-17
Very clever. Great hiding spot! Found on our second visit to search for it. Had to wait while some muggles rescued a poor little jack russell from the top of the cliff next to it so searched on our way back from walk today and all was quiet. Thanks
 
12-Sep-17
Too tricky for us today. Will be back

We did this a long time ago but never logged it. Didn't take us too long to remember where it was though.

Today we went again to drop off a trackable that had gotten lost in our luggage for way too long. Hopefully it will be flying along again soon Smile

Spent some time skipping stones and enjoying the sun.

Very nice! Clever hide!

Finally found it after twenty minutes searching. Such a crafty staircase Wink

Finally found it after 20 minutes of searching! Crafty staircase that is Wink
 
18-Mar-17
This was our favourite of the day. Really enjoyed the walk here. A quick check did not reveal the cache so we sat on the beach and took in the views. Before heading back up the staircase a more thorough check revealed the nicely concealed cache. Super walk, super caching, TFTC. We now realise how totally unfit we are and will be changing our regime from 2 walks at Brighton beach on the weekend to one there and then the other one here, those stairs have got to be good for you!!!
 
14-Feb-17
Spent a long time searching but no luck today. Ill have to return with more helpers soon.
 
14-Feb-17
'Tis the day for a long day of caching, off in the skies we soar!
Or maybe just up the stairs then down the stairs then up then down then up then down then down then down then up and ahA!!!
 
28-Dec-16
Friends had trouble finding this previously but with 4 pairs of eyes today with Wal & Ol we were eventually successful. TFTC!
 
28-Dec-16
Second attempt at this one for us, this time with accompanied by Pony1966. After a lengthy search, Mr Pony spotted a suspicious angle and gap, and voila! TFTC
 
29-Nov-16
Checked. All OK.
 
26-Nov-16
This was a lot easier than I first thought it would be Cool It had slipped and fallen away from the path, but it has been returned to the place above where we found it in a place actually accessible from the path.

If that didn't make sense, it's because I'm hot and fatigued lol [xx(]

Doing a southern leg of Brighton to Hallett Cove after walking with some muggles in the northern direction this morning. Caching as we go.
Chelle made the find on this one. We don't think it was meant to be where we found it as I had to climb the rocks to retrieve it. We've placed it back in a spot that is hopefully where the hider intended.

Fixed some time ago.

WOW ! another special spot that geocaching has bought me to. And BUSY for a late Saturday afternoon. I was the only car parked, but the walk was busy with lycra clad people. Had to get some help, as this is certainly a tricky hide (and I didnt think I would get a chance to get back to this amazing spot) Thanks for bringing the community to this wonderful spot and for the excellent hide. Favourite point awarded, wish I could give you two!!! Cheers... TNLNSL
 
06-Aug-16
Going well today found it nice hide
 
02-Jul-16
Excellent hide took a while. Wonderful spot. Made a swap.
 
30-Jun-16
I saw the name and left BONES guarding my car, I'm glad I didn't have to build that staircase or the one on the opposite side.
 
13-Jun-16
Had a good look around here, but no luck. We'll go back once we get a GPS :
 
09-Jun-16
Awesome hide guys. Freezing cold but sick view and insane staircase. Thank you
 
23-May-16
Took longer than it should have, glad we persisted. Seas were very high this evening so we got lower to change perspective and boom! Nice one Smile
 
25-Apr-16
Found while going for a walk on Anzac day. Quick find in between Muggles.

Saturday 20 February 2016 - a glorious Summer's day in the mid twenties (26) without a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze all the way. Started walking at 7.45am from Halet's Cove thru to Flinder's Hospital in Bedford Park arriving 5.5 hrs later having walked 14.5kms. Found 8 caches with 5 not found.

Staircase closed due to fallen rocks. Was 5 metres away - so close yet so far away.
 
10-Feb-16
Enlisted the help of a couple of muggles who were standing near GZ. They helped with the search and are now converts. TFTC. 10/02/2016, 20:15 Find #1375
 
10-Feb-16
Looking for cache and got chatting to two muggles. They decided to help us and were very interested in this fun game. Cache was found and log signed. CO may need to make sure it's still ok to have here as there is a barrier across the path just before it. TFTC 10/02/2016 8:18 pm Find #1010
 
10-Feb-16
Very well hidden good cache.
 
31-Jan-16
I loved the camo here! The stairs are currently blocked so it might need a review from the CO to decide if safe to still be in play? I dropped off a pathtag and have awarded a fave point for the effort and idea Smile TFTC SL
 
31-Jan-16
Beach access is closed so had to do a sneaky under the gate. Excellent hide, took a while but got there in the end. Thank you!
 
25-Jan-16
Took us a long time to find! Fab camouflage!
 
01-Jan-16
New years day and a souvenir is on offer. 3rd time lucky for this sneaky hide. The runners and walkers kept coming but lucky I was shielded by the rock face.

First time we have been here great walkway and equally great hide, there were a lot of muggles coming down the stairs so had to judge our timing just right, grabbed the cache signed the log and just managed to replace as somebody else started down the staircase. Fav from us. tnlnsl tftc miray

Out for a few caches with Mattycat while Mrs frog is at singing practice, always been meaning to walk this section of the coastal trail today with three caches in mind we set off an impressive staircase and clever hidde TFTC miray Wink
 
23-Jan-15
Out for an afternoon/evening of cache hunting fun with Mr and Mrs Froghoppin.
Mr Frog and I took to the boardwalk while Mrs Frog had singing practice nearby.
Never knew so many steps existed, but the scenery made up for it!
Left tb pooch and took shark one for a ride.
Fav for the work put into this one, still here after quite a while Smile
Nice views along the coast, tftc

Enjoyed finding our first cache with the kids.

Day two of trying to find this one but this time with Hera. Sure enough with her intuitive caching techniques we were able to locate the hide after a brief search. Zeus suggested it could be one thing & Hera another. Beauty & brains once again won out over brawn. A well thought out hide & we're glad we could finish 2014 on such a fun cache. Favourite from us.
 
28-Dec-14
Found this cache today with some muggle friends - introducing them and their kids to the game! Great ache for first timers to find, a clever hide with space for swaps. Left a TB, kids took a couple of little toys. TFTC!

Today we were on a great walk with the Bookies family from Hallett Cove up to Somerton Park.

Absolutely great spot and superb hide. It took a while, but then... CoolBig Grin

Thanks and greetings from Freiburg, Germany, Die Windies

Spotted a potential hiding place from down on the sand. Then a short search revealed a clever cache. Our GPS was saying we were at an elevation of 23 metres so it was having a major hiccup here. Thanks.

Thought I would go for a drive this afternoon and get a few of these coastal ones I haven't gotten around to. It was a nice sunny day, although a bit windy, but great being outside in the fresh air. Big Grin
So, I found a park and headed off down the stairs, and down, and down, eventually getting to the bottom. I figured I was so close I might as well. [:o)]
Luckily there were no muggles around on this level today.
Took note of the hint and description, but still decided to have a look from underneath. [?] Couldn't see anything helpful from there, climbed back up to where my GPSr was mostly pointing, but still it showed I was more than 5 metres above sea level. [?] Had a walk up and down, then looked from a different perspective and spied something. Cool Yep a cache was found. Cool
Loved the camo and the hide. [^] [^] Signed the log and replaced as found, then made the hike back up all those steps. Razz
Thanks for the cache, the adventure and for bringing me to this amazing place miray, a favourite for sure. Big Grin
