North Side Escape replaces "Lady's Launch" which was archived due to recent construction. Found in scenic Colliers, Newfoundland, the view from this ocean area is great. This should be a short walk and an easy find.
Locals built schooners in this area and hauled the vessels out on the ice in order to "launch" them when the spring arrived. Most notable of these was the "Lady Norman", hence the old geocache title, "Lady's Launch" :) There are over 20 geocaches within a six-mile radius of Colliers so that fact (plus the beautiful scenery) makes it definitely worth a trip out from the city. Found in scenic Colliers, Newfoundland, the view from this ocean area is great. This should be a short walk and an easy find. Figured we should have at least one quick cache in there somewhere :) Drive almost to the end of the "North Side" Road. You can park at the pavements end. Bring a camera. Get a picture of the landscape or maybe historic "Whelan House" nearby. Please don't even think about climbing up or down the cliffs to Man O' War Ridge Cache AT ANY TIME regardless of personal expertise. There is no safe path from the beach up the cliffs. Don't say we didn't warn you :) Take your time and enjoy the great coastal views of Colliers Harbour instead :) The cache itself is a small clear container camouflaged. Please rehide it carefully as this area gets a number of spectators at times. This is the twelfth in the original series of caches hidden by Flynnsbeach and Bittensticks. Care and caution is always advised. The surrounding rocks can be very slippery when wet, snow-covered or icy. Don't head up the cliffs or out in the beach...regardless of what individual GPS readings may say. The cache is NOT anywhere near the cliffs or the ocean. Cache contents at the time of hiding were: Travel Bug Geocoin Log Book Pen First Finders Prize Letter Blocks Marbles Coins Good Luck !!!! Flynnsbeach and Bittensticks
