Short Street Access Papamoa East, North Island, New Zealand
By Billelle on 11-Aug-18. Waypoint GC7W0GQ

I have been & checked & cache it has gone missing so I will archive it so someone else can put a cache in the area if they would like.

No luck for us here today. We searched all around where the phone was pointing us to and at the hint object. Sadly, we could not find the cache.

No luck for us

No joy today.

This one still eludes us

A popular access this afternoon! Got it between admiring the view and making way for muggles. TFTC!

TFTC, good hide took us a while. Here visiting from Washington State USA

Bohužel jsem asi měla geoslepotu:(

Beautiful morning despite heavy rain forecast. No one on the beach and this was a quick find

A nice quick find and a nice quiet morning to take a walk with Merlot along the beach front before an appointment. Tftc

There was an old beer bottle on one side so I checked over the other, and there it is, TFTC

No joy for me here

Took a little bit of poking around... but enjoyed the views immensely

Log replaced.

Took a while to locate, but found it eventually. A nice fresh log is in place

Short Street Access was transferred from Billelle to user kimbathelion

Was starting to struggle finding this when one of the others in the team managed to find. In a place I’d already looked. It’s fairly well hidden.

Log is well in need of replacing.

Nice easy find. Thanks for bringing us here. Log book very wet.

Pretty chilly day today, read the logs that suggested walking down then up. Didn't help too much so just went with the look and feel method. Was about to dismiss something when I realised it moved! Camo works well!

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching. log note needs rplacing

#985 - After our Tsunami threats yesterday, was nice to have a day out collecting a few caches in the area I hadn't got yet.
Beautiful beach spot, very rough out there today. Managed to find this one tftc.

TFTC nice view quick find

What a nice tranquil little access way. Yet another location I would not have found if it hadn't been for Geocaching. Cache took a little bit of spotting, but I didn't mind - the view was great and it was so peaceful here. SL. TNLN. Cached returned as found. TFTC!

Quick find. TFTC.

Quickly spotted. A bit windy today. Tftc

A nice quick and easy find and a lovely view. TFTC

Nice area to stop and see the view. TFTC

Not the camp we expected but clever nonetheless! TFTC! Keep it mellow ×)

Number 4 of today plus a nice beach walk!

Took me a bit to find, so walked back down and walked back up the stairs and saw it staring at me. It was not camouflaged so I put it back where I thought it’s meant to be great find and nice view

Nice quick find while out today in Tauranga thx.

I am staying nearby to grab a bunch of caches in this area. TFTC.

Early evening find, wonderful time to be on the beach
Nice camo here

Enjoyed the view and found the cache while on my holiday in NZ. Thanks for placing it here in this lovely spot.

Close to where we are staying but this one eluded me.

Taking the opportunity to have a few days in Papamoa and get out caching with Warfi and Corunna Road again - first time in a while. Great spot to start, people enjoying the beach, a good wee hide. TFTC

Up here on holiday with corunnaroad and moggyval. My first find for about 4 months! Nice quick find . Tftc

Great to be back caching with Moggy val and warfi . A quick find with a good view. Thanks

Spent quite some time looking for this one we will come back and try again

Cache outing with KK for her bday. Quick find thanks to hint. Thanks for the cache

Nice day for a beach walk. Tftc

Yay found the required cache today for streak week. After hanging around far too long and having to dnf other. Now to get home and race around to get to work on time! Thanks for clever hide

Caching with Sidewaze. My apologies for late logging, my thanks to CO for taking the time to place the cache and giving us the challenge of finding it. TFTC

I actually gave up on this one, said "nah I can't find it" but it was suggested I was giving up too easily, so I looked in the same places all over again with of course the same result. I walked down to the beach, walked back up again, that must have been just what I needed cause nec minit the cache was in hand and the log was being signed. Very sneaky. Thanks for the hide .

Had been here previously for a cache and I think we even parked in the same spot. The rain just started as we commenced looking for this one, thankfully not too heavily. Mr Geckoh just about gave up on the find (must be scared of the rain) but eventually located the cache with a Doh moment! TFTC

TFTC, got very lucky today no niggles and spotted the cache quickly.

The slightly dodgy weather is keeping most of the muggles indoors which makes caching a lot easier. Awesome view!!!

Out clearing the area of caches.
A beautiful place to soak up the view.
Thanks for bringing me here.
Tftc

Found on my trip north enjoying the caches in the area

Terrific cache! Found it but had no pencil, alas. Tftc!!

Found as a part of a previous group TanjackMüley, aka WanderingSparrow. Now I'm continuing on my own. TFTC

Took a good five minutes wondering if it’s gone with what looks like a fresh paint job but instead it was just too well camouflaged for us. Glad we found it as my hopes where thinning as time ticked. Thanks for the cache mr co!

Another great beach cache, thanks Billele

Headed out last night in the company of HKCB to see what we could score across the Eastern side of town to make the next trip over here that much easier. Headed off at 6.30pm and were home by 2am managing somehow to avoid a shower or two along the way.

The tenth of nineteen for the evening. Nice short walk, had the area all to ourselves and as it was near full tide the sea looked very pleasent even if it was too cold for me to consider swimming. All in all it was a great night and got to see a few sights along the way

A big thanks for the CO's for maintaining their caches and giving us so much enjoyment.
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

Yet another small mission to Tauranga to keep the growing number of unfound caches at bay. An 6.30pm start from Hamilton with Cats&Dragons we managed 14 finds before we headed home to bed, however as numbers are getting fewer over here now a big numbers were never going to be on the cards. So not a bad effort indeed. As always a big thanks to the CO's for the hides we found tonight.

Not quite where we were expecting it to be hidden, nicely camo'd!

Tyfc. Another great beach cache

Hubby is away for a couple of days so I am out roaming.
This took me a wee while to track down.
Cheers

Wir setzen unsere GC-Tour fort.
Ein sonniger Morgen wie gemacht zum Cachen und Tauranga ist bezüglich Menge an GCs ein Eldorado...
Dieser hier war gut beschrieben und rasch geloggt.
TFDC und beste Grüsse aus old

Found it while going for a walk after dropping my son at work. Beach was hot today! Easy to find once I had the right eyes on

Nice camouflage. TFTC

Lovely morning to search for caches. Arrived at GZ about 9.30 only muggles about we're in the water. Looked in a couple of likely places with no luck. Stepped back for a think and look then hay presto. Log signed and cache placed back in hiding. Cheers

Spent about 20 minutes but this one eluded me.

Short walk around and soon had it in hand good day for it

Tftc

What a view of the coast. Tftc

Out and about today. Been having withdrawals since attending Mega in Wellington. Simple but effective. Many Thanks.

Had me going for a while, but then I sat down to take in the view and thats when it all became clear. Tftc

Great view. Took two attempts but we found it in the end. Great camo and a fun find. TFTC

Awesome find thanks so much loved the view was awesome!

Such a lovely area to cache in, on a nice day

TFTC

Cleaver hide but no match for us tftc

What a nice little hide, initially GPS had me a few short steps away, but found reasonably quickly. Beautiful spot. Tftc.

Have checked on cache and all is well

Was almost going to give up and then my little eagle eyed niece spotted it. TFTC

Away for several days . Will check cache on Monday

Spent twenty minutes. Found nothing.

Very windy with a chance of showers - which meant we had the place to ourselves for a good look around. Soon spotted a likely suspect and so it was found. Cache is all good. TFTC

Out and about enjoying the spring weather, stopped to visit this one while passing, no problem with the find TFTC.

4.30pm - Good camo and with nobody around this one was a quick find. SLTFTC

This was the first cache I went to look for yesterday....as it was put out my by geo friend Bill....
But I was confused and distracted by a different object...which I couldn't open !Lol.....
Was out and about with CO today and he pointed out that I was totally looking at the wrong object!
Cheers for another cache Bill.....easy find!

Another Access cache - another smiley.

The weather was terrible and I had to keep a keen eye on the umbrella but thankfully the cache was a quick find. The camo was good and the placement bold - hopefully this one stands the test of time. Cheers Billelle, TFTC

Took us a little bit of searching as the camo was great for its environment. Thanks for this hide.

. On the way home from Rotorua and came to collect this one. Beautiful scenery today as the sun was shining and spring just around the corner. Started hunting in the wrong places at first and started to think it may have gone. Started to get off my knees and spotted the crafty hide TFTC

A nice easy day grabbing a few caches ...the view you get from walk ways along here is always aweinspiring.. a fast find here...but I did take some time to take in the great outlook...thanks Billelle for a neat tidy cache..well done on the great placement

After a very long morning at a one year olds birthday party we escaped and headed for a bit of fresh air. Had a type of hide in my mind so came up empty handed until stepping back to see where I was going wrong! Aha! Thanks for bringing us here Billelle.

Ovet the hill in Papamoa today clearing the map with the kids. Only had a couple of DNF and now the map looks almost yellow. Thanks to the teachers for giving us a day out geocaching and thanks to all the CO.

On strike today... I did my bit for the cause before deciding to spend the afternoon cache hunting.

I wandered down to the beach and began to scout the area immediately. I forgot to load my saved files before leaving home, so had to approach this one by sight. I spotted the cache sitting just under, though it slipped as I tried to reach for it. Not really sure how this one is positioned, so I did the business and returned the container as I found it. TFTC.

Haven’t been out for a while and thought I would try to find this one between the rain, cold wind though. Well hidden and camouflaged.

Fancied a bit of a walk to stretch out a sore knee and it's a lovely afternoon for a dot day cache. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy coming out here of an afternoon. A bit more of a search than I expected but all good. Now for a bit of a wander along the shore. TFTC.

I must remember photos before I press post....

Yeah,a FTF,i'm normally way behind the ball park but got rained out at work & arrived back just after lunch & had a look at the website which I haven't done for a couple of days & low & behold a new cache in Papamoa.The wet had eased off so way I went.Great camo Billelle but still a quick find.Thankyou,enjoyable.
