Sutherland to Surf - HALF WAY Miranda, New South Wales, Australia
By Drunken Gunmen on 14-Feb-05. Waypoint GCMTA4

Since the owner of the cache hasn't contacted me, I'm reluctantly archiving this cache. If the owner wants to reinstate this cache, they should contact the reviewer that first published the cache.

Disabled pending cache-check

If you can email me and tell me where u think it is I will send you the clue for the Finish Line

I also had two goes of this one and also no luck. I have been having a lot of no finds latley and it is frustrating me.

Stood at GZ and searched all the obvious spots and could not find it. Widened the search and looked elsewhere, but limited choices of hiding places and still couldn't find it.

went to where i thought it would be. should have been there sumwhere i searched everywhere u could find it and sum places that you wouldnt eventually gave up i will revisist this one with mates to try and find it, although i reckon it mite have gone MIA. will report back after my second visit.

Quick and easy find with Walw and his intrepid geokid Jeremy on our "Too wet to canyon but not too wet to geocache" day. 3rd of eight finds for the day. Walw, who'd already found this one was kind enought to do a few laps around the block whilst I ducked out and retreived and then returned the cache. My feet are now completly soaked. TFTC. Now, onto the finish!

Found with KC. Clever little hide. SL and moved on the the finale!

An easy find, with an awesome view. Had the place to ourselves, and it wasn't that far to walk. Hvae to try fir the start and finish caches another time, as long as I don't lose the information from this one. TFTC

Rated: for Overall Experience

Came and found the second clue for the finish then walked through all the toy shops with my son, like he needs some more toys. TFTCSL

Only spent a bit of time looking around the car park but no luck.

just a quick walk after finding the kingsway.
Thanks

Made my way over from kings way and found it quickly.

nice easy find looks like the wall is going to come down though thanks

Will log this as found although only half the cache was there when i was.

Mugglers everywhere! Stealth required, Its exactly where i thought it was, I came to get the clue for the finish line.
Thanks

Back again - no pencil in the cache so bring your own.

Tried this one while the car park was very quiet. I did not have the clue at the time and could not find it.

But, I was able to locate a container identicle to that used at the starting line. It was lying on the ground empty. It had a piece of tape on the inside but no clue.

Please advise, is the cache is still operational.

Looks like maintenance is in order

[B)]
I am going to claim this one
Only because of what had to be done.
A tricky find and god we struggled
And what a bugger that it had been muggled
I reckon this counts as some of the cache was there
Even if it was only the base left in the lair
So owner if you don’t mind
I will log this find

Unfortunately this cache log was also sodden beacuse the cache had been left semi exposed. We were unable to sign the log but same as for the "start line" we took the clues for the finish line. Try doing "the start line' and this one on a friday during school holidays!!! they are no longer are an easy to find!!!!! The adventure was using stealth to avoid muggles andsecurity cameras. Next up will be the "Finish Line"
TFTC

First one we have found! That was great. Thanks!

Another Fitness cache for me.
I parked about 2km away and ran to find the cache.
when I was 1km from the cache I put the GPS upt to my eye and I imagined where I would be if I was 1km in the arrows direction.
and after doing Sutho Surf Start I knew how the DrunkenGunmen
think so by the time I had taken a few more steps I already knew where the cache was and I had a visulal image of the location in my head, and when I did get there I was right.
When I got back to my car I had run 5km which is the perfect distance for me at the moment.

Ventured from the starting line and parked ina nearby street before winding my way around, and around, and around but cache easily located in the end. Second clue gathered and on my way.

The 2nd of 2 for the day with Team Batty and Razz, Like Team Batty said, log book full,
TNLNSL
TFTC

second one of 3 for the day. did with team wintonio and razz. never taken much notice of the views before. they are alright.

log book is full though.

After a stumble on the starting line we made it to the halfway point and to the cache like magic. Impressive and unexpected views. We also enjoyed the show put on by the huge crow cleverly getting into a Hungry Jacks bag.
The cache needs a new log.

12 noon. Aware of my worn out knees, noted previous log and parked at the cache. Great views North but southern view marred by a certain architectural awfulness. You'll know which one when you see the building. Thank you Drunken Gunmen - now about that brick monstrosity...
PS. Cache needs a new log.

I really should have parked on the street and walked up, it would have been quicker. No car were on the top half dozen levels on this quiet Friday evening. I parked in front of the cache and was back in the car heading down within 60 seconds of arriving.

Cheers!

Found 1040

Nice easy cache, found on my second attempt. Made it easier when i knew what i was looking for. Very sneaky.

TN LN SL

3:35p
Also park in front of it, easiest cache ever done, didn't need GPSr. No one up here, great location/views. TFTH
TNSLLN.

Hate to admit this is my third attempt at this one and can't beleive I missed it the previous times. Stupid dupid me

sensational view for cache 2
hmmm only time hubby was keen to get to that place.

collected clue then we were off

3:54pm
Parked right in front of it. Easy to find. Recorded the special info and away we went.

Cheers

Well what a great day this has been...... NOT! This cache would have been great if it weren't for the shopping that went with it.

nice find today, second in the trilogy ive done so now its straight to the finish line.

Found it a few days ago. Now I have an account to log the caches i find.

Came here once before and didn't find it. After finding it today i'm surprised that i didn't find it as it is not really that hard.
The log is pretty full
Thanks,
Applehead Man

An easy find and yes...great view. Look forward to returning and completing the other two in the series.

Great cache and great view! The clue helped a treat!

Wednesday arvo, no one around. A nice easy find!

Signed log, thanks for the cache.
Best wishes,
Wal

Wow this had to be and was a fast one.
thanks
Drunken Gunmen

We had to be fast with this one as we had parked in a 15min parking zone. Well it took a little longer and I had to go back and move the car but the crew quickly returned triumphant. TFTC Drunken Gunmen now we must return to complete the race all the way to the FINISH LINE>

going strong and not even puffing yet.well the car is doing all of the work.

After cottoning on to the placement theme from the Starting Line, the Halfway point was quickly found after surprisingly finding a park only 3 or 4 spots away.

Had originally only planned traditionals today, but figured it easier to finish the series in one go rather than misplacing the clues when I returned to Melbourne.

A good place for the half way point

just checked the previous logs ; and am embarresed to admit that i am a coward and did NOT mention that this is second attempt. addmitadely i did not have notes with me first time BUT surley i shoulda figgered the answer!!!
only got 3outa 6 today feelin' low
thanks Acko

Quick find, have been there about twice a week, not knowing that there`s a cache hitten.

Coords spot on! Sat. morning was the way to go. Drove straight up to it, not a muggle anywhere near it. I like the way this cache has been developed in that the 2 wpts needed to find the final cache can be logged as a find in itself or completed without having to do the others. Wish more multi's were like this, helps beginners, if they have trouble finding all the waypoints and they get something for their efforts.
Great idea!!! Thanks Drunken Gunmen for a unique cache!

Found at 11:45am. Quite nice views from here.

easy find, drove to the cache, unfortunately saturday morning was not a good time to drive up here.

Finally got to the half way point! Are we there yet?

Cache# 12 @ 5pm

Unlike the first we drove up to this one, easy find with some surprising views.

Thanks GEK

First of five finds for the afternoon. I had logged the first cache in this series on my last trip, so I was keen to finish it off this time. I made the mistake of entering the fire stairs, and then found the doors locked from the inside! In the wind up, I had to squeeze out through a half-opened window--not an auspicious start to the afternoon, and not recommended. Once at GZ it was an easy find at 1500. TNLNSL. The Blue Rules Travel Bug visited, but was too small to fit in the cache. Thanks to Drunken Gunmen for the cache.

hmmm had a look for this one today after work but came up empty handed. after now checking the logs and all the other info i rekon i was looking a little too low. will try again when i have a bit more time and i am down south again

I just popped over the road from the "Flea Pit" and quickly found this cache. Mind you, this was my second attempt after carefully checking out all other places with these coordinates the last time I was in town! It was a pleasant stroll on a very pleasant day.

Thanks, Drunken Gunmen.

Regards,

Pseudo-Geek.

Great View

around and around and around we go ....

Very, very busy place. Once we got to the cache location we found it easily.

Found this on a run home from Sutherland. Doing things all out of order - but thats just me. Great views tired legs by the time I got home. Thanks guys

Well the security had just locked up for the night, but being a smartar%$, I knew how to get to this so I completed it easily...

Thanks

GEK

In town for two meetings across the road, a lunchtime visit to this one would have to suffice. Otherwise, it would be a fair wait before I could try again.

I decided on the most probable place and took the long walk. Thankfully, it was right there and at 13:00, I was filling in the log. Shamrock Bear TB admired the views but the cache was too small to stay so TNLN.

Thanks Drunken Gunmen. I look forward to the other two parts at future meeting visits.

A day working in Sydney and a cache within 25m of our offices! It just had to be done. Nice views while making the log.
TNLN
thanks Drunken Gunmen

Found this one without any trouble, thanks Gek. Regards Philma.

This one was made easier because of the lack of cars, being Good Friday.

There is no better way to come out of a couple of very lean Geocaching months than with a GEK cache or two. Managed to get two out of three and now I'm set up for a big finish. Picked a day when there was NOBODY around at the GZ. Had to jump a gate to get there.
Thanks,
Rathard

Now I am absolutely positive I never ran past the cache location on the way to the beach.

puff puff puff, oooooh I think I'm getting dizzy.

Now at half way and feeling a little dizzy after going around in circles again...off to the finish.

found without any trouble. off to the finish line.

After doing the start line I knew what to expect with this one. An interesting hide. Off to the finish. Thanks GEK

It was very difficult to keep the team united here. Mrs Dingbat had ideas about what she could get up to in the nearby complex.

[This entry was edited by Dingbats on Sunday, February 20, 2005 at 3:24:13 AM.]

Had a half day today to await the delivery of furniture...
The delivery truck rang to say they were running an hour late, so I rushed out to this one only to find SWAG Agg had beaten me to it by an hour...
I was really trying for the First finders you don't always get what you want. I rang SWAG Agg and he was already over the finish line. He claimed it was just a long lunch break, but I think he did it on purpose, just to spite me.

Thanks GEK.

After unwinding from the drive to the cache, I discovered a muggle sitting in her car near the cache eating lunch.
My car was parked right next to the cache, so I pretended to fix something under the bumper while I retrieved it.

The drive away from the cache was a lot more direct.

Sorry aft - I couldn't resist doing this one. If it makes you feel any better, I do feel a bit guilty - but only a tiny bit.

Found pretty much exactly where I expected it to be - certainly the only place there you will find a fantastic view

Will complete the other two at a later date.

The race is on

Waiting for order to be restored at the Starting Line
