The Tram Shelter (Hawke Bay) Bluff Hill, North Island, New Zealand
By kennythekiwi on 27-Jul-10. Waypoint GC2CC6M

Used a cache description downloaded over a year ago and then realised the tram shelter WP nano was 'unavailable'. However, since others had found the cache recently without it, plus this was on our walk over Hospital hill and back over Bluff hill, we decided to look for it anyway. Mrs C was the ultimate metal detector and found the cache quite quickly after I'd already looked nearby.
This is an excellent little multi that includes a nice piece of Napier Art Deco so it was a great pity to return home and log our finds, only to discover that this one was archived a couple of days ago.

hmmmm

Found part two only. Nice view. Thanks kennythekiwi

We were a bit concerned about the muggles at the Tram Shelter as we approached - until we got a bit closer and realised they were painted on the walls. Had a good search around but couldn't find the micro container. Using the information available on the cache page and in the logs, we worked it out as a puzzle and were able to come up with a likely place for the final. A short walk and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks.

Searched and searched but no luck finding the nano

#2639. We seemed to make hard work of a number of Napier caches. Luckily Troodles gleaned enough from the hint and past logs to sniff out a possible hiding place. TFTC.

Loved the tram stop. We spent some time looking for the WP without success and started to feel we had outstayed our welcome - it's never a good look to hang around toilets for too long!
Fortunately, after reading past logs and the hint, was able to find the cache without the WP.

Found by The Empire @ 2:20pm
Day Five of 'The Empire Invades NZ' Tour, 2011.
Even the tram stops/toilets are Art Deco! Thanks for the cache, and the exercise kennythekiwi.

Last one while in town for for the day & I'm rather pleased to knock this one off! Saw a few Canadian rugby players wandering around town looking a little worse for wear ! TFTC

I had more trouble with the first part than the second location. An interesting piece of local history.

Nice quick multi TFTC

thanks

What a nice tram shelter - good idea!
And the final location was also found quickly!
Out - TB

Found the nano nice and quickly, and had no trouble locating the cache at GZ

Searched and searched but could not find. Hmmm maybe we're just thick or something... Perhaps it's gone walk-about. It was interesting to visit anyway.

Found with 3Kings.. Lots of fun hunting around and learned a bit more about our town

Been past many times, but without GPSr. Better prepared this time! Cache container was actually clearly visible from a short distance. Picked up Lego TB, and put cache back where it could not be seen. TFTC.

Quickest multi we've done! Interesting little spot. Left a pet rock - a butterfly. TFTC

TB drop

and welfare check...all good

Nice short multi! Found the nano fairly quickly, then up and at 'em to the cache location. Enjoyed this one very much, nice toilets!

TFTC!

A really short multi cache. The nano was found very quickly and found the cache shortly after. Nice to have seen this place.

TFTC!!

Went by here yesterday, but could not find the nano. Came back today to have a real good look, and still could not find it. Not sure if I'm just not looking hard enough, or the recent extreme weather has done something to it. Will have to have another check when I'm back in the Bay.

Our first ever find the the Hawkes Bay! A most enjoyable wee multi, thank you .

This is a great little multi - a wee bit of everything. TFTC #2081

Did not find it, but had lots of fun. The roads surrounding the Shelter were like race tracks - cars coming from every which way - including the police. Also a large group of tourists did not help. Left it for another day - Again I think the problem was our innocence with nano caches.

Nice wee multi, final where expected and was nice and dry. TFTC.

Nicely hidden cache, found fairly easily with good co-ords. Great spot.

Nice ride round down the hill from the look out to find this one, and then rewarded with another climb. TFTC

Good one!. TFTC. SL. Botsky and sidekick.

Found Nano came back twice for the cache as put wrong coordinates into gps. Enjoyed the 2 finds on this one. TFTC. TNLN

Nice interesting puzzle cache. Ash found both parts, love these little short ones TFTC.

WP1 a quick find but the final took a little longer, one of the first places I checked but not well enough, got it on the second pass.
A nice fun multi.

We quickly found the nano, and after a short walk, the cache. TFTC

Great view from the final, TFTC

Great to see the tram shelter still being used. TFTC

I spotted the nano after a few minutes but had to wait for the right moment. I enjoyed the this cache.
TFTC and greetings from Switzerland.

I found this cache together with steha70 a while ago. We are traveling around NZ.
Thank you for the cache and greetings from Switzerland. Grazie!

I liked this multi but there was no need for sheltering today.
Dropped off a TB and a coin
Took a coin
Thanks for the cache

coin drop

Enjoyed this multi cache today. Great views. Left Taryn up the Ocean TB and collected Kiwifruit TB. Will move on ASAP.

did not find the first clue so just went by your clue and found the cache.

Short search at both ends.tftc

Took a while, but we got there, biggest problem deciphering my shorthand. Best half of the team insisting that I read all the info to her infuture. TFTC

Great final spot. Tftc

2nd attempt at this. Found 1st stage ok but had a little trouble finding the second.
Helps to read the clue.

Too puffed for comment! Ha ha - instant find at WP1 for Mr EU, and then Mrs EU had to head for the final while Mr EU supervised younger EU crew at the WP1 facilities! TFTC

5053 A nice wee multi to finish off the day with. Great spot for the final, TFTC.

Found the first part and the ended up walking up the street just to walk back again and finall to the right area. Thanks for the walk up.

found with fellow cacher cougar hunta on second attempt
dont know how we missed it the first time
done and dusted now
TFTF

After a brief, fruitless hunt a month back, had another go with Morgan Ed and found both no probs. TFTC

At last we found this one. Went with daughter and played statues in the car lights last night while we searched for the first clue. Gosh a lot of cars go through that intersection and we hoped we looked like the paintings on the walls so no one would notice us. And like all those before us we searched the ladies loo... to no avail. Finally found it just as a muggle came past with their dog!!

So tonight we came back for the final prize and found easily thanks to our headlight. Nice hide and good cache to do - didn't take long at all. +GC - GC TFTC

Found about 9-00pm with Barri-Ster - on a nice mild evening. WP1 in Barri-Ster's hand after about 1 minute searching. Off to final cache and a nice location for it. SL -GC Left GC TFTC

Quick little multi-cache that we were able to do in the dark when there was no one around. SL, TFTC.

tb drop

The first and only we couldnt find on a cache hunting day!

Hunted high and low with Morgan Ed and still couldn`t find nano at the shelter.Got some strange looks from lots of ladies as I crawled around outside the women`s loos. Got a free ride in a police car tho !!

Interesting bit of history. Nice final spot. TFTC.

Yes, at last, A FTF for one of KK's Kaches. A very nice and easy little multy involving histry and views so what more could you want? Actually found 29/7/2010 at 9.29am but someone had already logged their 2nd place find by the time I could get to log on after today's site updates.

+ Milk Shake TB TFTC

Mac attack was here
