Nice cache. We had grabbed it while our friend´d caught the sun-light and before we have visited our maori friend Pete and his family on the beach nearby:) TFTC!

Hmmm, couldn't find it after 20min of searching. Had no more time as we had 4 hours drive ahead of us. Maybe next time when we are in the area...

Looked all over all bushes, but we found only dead bird inside one of them. Does the cache still exist?

No luck here… hope the cache hasn’t been kidnapped!!! Sad

Found pretty quickly thanks. Lovely day on the coast as well.

Logbook OK but a bit damp after recent rain. It may be wise to put GC container in a plastic bag or something.

Took a bit of scrathching around to find it but done and dusted now.
 
Nice quick find, TFTC.

4.15pm. Searched for by our group of 6 after a prolonged lunch at nearby winery. Couldn't find it. Was it missing or was it the lunch? Definately not at the obvious bush.
Thanks anyway.

Returning from a very funny tractor trip to the gannet colony, we quickly dug up this cache.

As I repacked the box I noticed a bean below in the gras. Somebody must have choosen the exact same spot as me to unpack the cache and lost one of its contents. I packed it back in of course.

We left a Geocoin which wants to stay in caches near dolphins and whales. We hope some will e in the bay soon.

awesome day out caching with my dad and cousins

Really easy find, thanks very much. It's a lovely spot but we were freaked out about the whole tsunami thing and were looking over our shoulders at the sea the whole time, so we didn't linger. +/- nothing, signed the log, and hightailed it back towards Napier just in time for the cops to block the road at Clive!
 
20-Sep-09
Well we would have liked to visit the birds on the cape but we were here at the wrong time of year. Never mind - maybe another visit. Thanks for the cache.
