As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,

A lesson in not reading the previous logs on a cache here. I thought I would kill some time waiting at the badminton club by grabbing what I thought would be an easy find. I found GZ soon enough and the GPS was solid, but there was no luck in locating the hide. Checking the previous logs soon gave me the reason why. Thanks for an awesome spot! Sorry that I did not have a spare cache with me to replace it with.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Seems like this one is missing. No successful find since 2015.

Drathbeen84 appears to be an armchair catcher. I would disregard his successfull find.

After watching a finals Badminton match for the World Master Games, I wandered over here and failed to find this cache. Did a thorough search at eye-level, but also checked ground level in case it had fallen. Pretty sure it is not there.

Nice greets from Dresden in Germany . Tftc

Possibly missing now

DNF no cache here

GZ And nothing here? I would say its gone by all the last DNF activity

Too many leaves

Was at correct spot no cache in sight sending maintenance request just in case it's gone missing

Had a good look at GZ to no avail. Definitely right spot but no cache.

Dropped my car in to get a towbar fitted. So since I have 4 hours to kill lets walk around Hillside Rd for that time. Nice little park away from the maddening motorway. Thanks for the cache.

I thought this was going to be harder than it was considering the hint and the dark. Thankfully it was pretty easy. Cool view of the motorway from here

Fields water logged which presented a bonus as was a post school finish and it was feared there would be muggles a plenty. A few school pupil stragglers who were more focused on bantering each other. Which side - back and forth getting suitably soaked in the process but kiwiscot thankfully came up with the goods. Poodle is looking very sorry for itself. TFTC.

Not sure the poodle is having much fun.
Easy find, no barking up the wrong tree.
Also no pencil and didn't bring a pen, so photo'd the log instead.
Tftc.

Had to avoid some muggles but managed to find it fairly easily and was not visited by the dog. There is no pencil in the cache and I did not have my kit with me so could not sign the log

TFTC

Had to wait for a guy and his dog to leave
Nice cammo

Found it, good work with the dog but no sight of the other dog. First cache ever.

Nice. Found after 5 minute search.

No dog barking today.

Dog gave us a visit but he was quiet.

Fuck that dogs scary! Great camo though

Yay....came here with Ric who soon found it...dog quiet today ...

Puppy was there on duty.
Took a bit of a search but there it was. TFTC

Made my way here after church today to make my find for the day. The cache was easily found in its nice hiding spot. Thanks!

Wooo walked past their so many times the last 5 years! Who would of known

Found an empty vessel for starters and thought it had been muggled but a little more hunting and we found it...tftc

Quick find after getting school uniform TFTC

Been here once before so knew where it was, funnily enough found a suspicious looking jar on the other side with 'something' wrapped in glad wrap, decided it wasn't the cache we were looking for and put it back, tftc

Cool spot, took a little while but got it after a bit!

I found this one while mum sat with SethRaven in the car. Know this area we lived just up the road a bit for a while. TFTC

Master Seth had fallen asleep so 2FLYTim had to tackle this one for the both of us as I couldn't leave the car. He knew this area and the dog! TFTC

Poked around a bit but could not find it.
Found a golf ball, dead bird, matches, kinder surprise container, half a bouncy ball, but no cache.

Great hiding place and clue! I put in a toy car and took a skull neclace! Took a while but worth it. Cool camo on the jar by the way!

Was a bit worried with the last log being DNF but kept looking and came up with the goods

No joy for us... just lots of sneezing

The Future Finder wanted to go caching so we made a quick dash over the Bridge for some quick finds. Took a bit of vigourous poking and prodding but soon came up with the goods. Cheers for the cache placement!

Fun little hide. Thanks

Out for a spot of night caching with Friwinz. Very muddy and glad I chose to wear my old shoes. Excellent camo and hide. TFTC

Out with Geomatt for a close-by FTF and decided to head for this cache after a successful attempt. Nice hide it took us a little while but the hint definitely narrowed the search area. TFTC

Another late night trip with the friends to the shore it was today... and they again had the time of their lives - it was like taking little kids to the beach... seriously, they were so excited and everything!
And I made them hold their breaths over the bridge...

Well, we arrived here, and you wouldn't think it would be as hard as it was, but it was completely difficult! And we ended up getting completely soaked, and covered in mud too...

And the GPS was all over the place... so we walked around in circles first for like 10 mins.

But then it ended up narrowing down, and we followed the hint, soon getting the cache.

TFTC!!

Got our shoes all muddy. Be prepared. TFTC

Out this way for some business and had a bit of spare time to sniff out a couple of caches before heading home.

Just in time as some team headed towards the field for a match as I was leaving. Nice hide.

Found it quickly thankfully because was in pouring rain, probably just after George Team just finished their game and probably wondered why I was then going on field in rain. Great cache with very good hiding place and camo. Enjoyed this one. Visited some TBs and coins TFTC
Cheers

Fairly straightforward find. TFTC.

Nice little hide this one, no dog present only lots of guys doing rugby and soccer practice.

Quick and easy find this time , in the rain.

Beware of dog

Quick find today. TFTC

DNF on this one , had good look but a golfy muggle apeared so I didn't hang about .

One of 262 found on Team Y-Cacho's 24 hour Auckland cache raid.

Parked by your cache while driving the Team Y-Cacho's Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission

Many thanks for your cache, plan to be back soon with Butterfly_Lady

OmaGosh, over and out...

Many thanks

My daughter found this one, good hide. TFTC

Nice little cache, in a good hiding spot.

Left a few goodies. TFTC

Changed the logbook and emptied out the flood, please make sure the lid is nice and tight when rehiding.

Inside of Cache was very wet.. Log book required replacing, Sorry I didn't have a spare on me.

Good find, We were looking in the wrong spot for a few minutes.. But found it in the end. TFTC.

Took us a while as we were originally looking in what we thought was the logical place... Nice little hide. TFTC.

Nice walk up & down the park for 1 of 2 doggie related caches in the area. Didn't record find as soggie log-gie.

Nice place to hide it. Wasn't really expecting that. I thought it was “inside” the vines but....it just means inside literally. Apart from that, easy find!

Contained two safety pins.

NOTE: The log really needs to be replaced desperately. It's so sodden that I can barely write in it so I wrote my name twice-badly ripped in the log and the yellow sticky note stuck on by Poshepocket.

TFTC

By the way, please replace the log book, very soft and very very wet, basically impossible to write in Added a piece of post it note in there for now. Thanks!

Went with Poshepocket, she found very quickly after having been there a few times before. TFTC

Fourth time here, I just walked by and found it. It was easier than I thought it was. TFTC!!

Very manky logbook.

The dog wasn't the problem - the logbook was! Real manky! The cache needs maintenance. Here with Tufty.

Out with BaldEd this morning visiting the caches close to home. The cache logbook was so damp that it couldn't be written on. Needs to be replaced.

Cheers for the cache.

I was attacked by golf balls, assaulted by mosquitoes and was given suspicious shouts by the muggles whacking golf balls who thought I was going into their house when I inconspicuously walked past the bushes. Had to give up on the cache because the muggles were keeping a very close eye on me. Are there vines? What is considered vines? I shall hopefully make another visit there again tomorrow when there are less people to claim this cache!

Nice walk over to cache - found fairly quickly. SL TFTC

Well-hidden, loved the camo. Almost gave up but found it in the end!

this one was well hidden and good to find!

#629 Love these longer nights, got a borrowed fancy GPS, so keen to get out there and log some finds, while we have it. Nice stroll, slightly busy here tonight, but managed to locate a very clever camo cache, nearly gave up but spotted it in the end. SL. TFTC

Sign on the fence confirmed we were at GZ and we quickly made the find despite the cool cammo.

TFTC

So hard to find mum got pricked by prickles

Kids not quite tall enough, got there in the end.

Found it, but the geo coin was missing

Was a bit worried about the beware of the dog thing, but no dogs or muggles in sight today.

TNLN - TFTC

Took a wee while - had to look at hint in the end. Found a bit higher than i expected and i'm not short. Replaced in a more reasonable position. TFTC

Found with mondoolix late at night. Cool cache, lots of mud and very hard to see in the dark, but at least there were no muggles about tftc!

Found the sign, and the cache soon after. No dog home today though.
The grounds were also empty except for a few practicing baseballers (boy, did they need the practice!)
Thanks, Robmc.

A nice little hiding spot at the end of the field.
A few kids were practising baseball but a long way from us.
TFTC

Nice easy find, TFTC

Out with NZAndersons. Had to let the taller persons in the group grab it. T4TC

Out geocaching with DKQuadrant
Nicely hidden... TFTC

Nice hide -- on a sports day it seems. Odd in winter, ground quite wet. Last played on these fields 44 years ago!
Also had the pleasure of returning later with my two sons to watch them play as well!
Thanks, cache in good condition

Coin drop

well tried to place coin in after I logged it in on the iphone, no fitty! so I shall have to pill it once I get the number.

Very slossy getting to GZ, Quick find.

Please note NO Geocoin in the cache,.Cache owner should mark it as missing, please.

Thanks foe the hunt.
