Royal Park (Hawkes Bay) Parkvale, North Island, New Zealand
By seekerjordge on 23-Feb-07. Waypoint GC113MK

has been muggled too often.

Will perform maintanence soon

Searching with W.E.K.A.
Couldn't find WP1.
Hint seemed to indicate that we were in the right place.
Thanks

Couldn't find WP1.

Cache has been emptied of contents. Will need maintenance. Have left a replacement logbook and logged the find anyway.

Got the first two WPs on the way to the orienteering event, loved the camo for WP2. Ran out of time and had to return for the final. Container has been muggled and emptied of contents. Had a small spare logbook so put that back in. TFTC

Found with Tramper Ted. Had some challenges with finding places to cross the river and meeting uncrossable fences, but got there in the end. Too bad the final container was muggled. WP2 is tricky and clever. TFTC.

An interesting little multi, that certainly tested our patience. Initially was on the wrong side of the creek, then had problems locating the well camo’ed WP2 container, should pay more attention and read the instructions on the waypoint sheets. Thankfully the final was much easier.

Woohoo, thanks! Nice place and a dead duck

Hopefully fixed now

Just performing maintenance. Will be back online soon. Stage 2 muggled so altering position.

With some significant help from Seekerjordge we found it. The second waypoint is currently out of order unfortunately. Had a great time though, a little cold, especially the wade across the stream!!

Took the travelbug for more adventures.

This appears to have been vandalised again. We found a broken pink lid at the first co-ordinates, but nothing else.

Fixed now

Found this while we were in town for the DwcoDecanted weekend. WPT 1 was muggled but we found the paper on the ground next to the tree so were able to carry on. We dried out the page and replaced it in a small plastic bag. Needs attention! A really nice park, thanks for the hunt. Took Geocoin, will caryy this for a trip to Aus.

mate his used to be an awesome playground for the kids FANTASYLAND now it's an overprice water park where have all the fun things gone

cool cache neat hiding spots, wish the park was still cheap

Waypoint 1 was found easily but had a lot of trouble with Waypoint 2. Could not find it and seeing that it was getting a little late in the day, I decided to call it quits.

Excellent place for our 2nd childhood!
Thanks for showing us around.
'Punga and Paua' are right, the gates are not always open.

Got a bit disoriented locating the second waypoint and so used the clue which put us right on it and then a simple find on the third. Enjoyed the challenge - something a bit different. Nothing traded.

Nice easy find on a lovely Hawke's Bay day . Loads of muggles so we were as subtle as possible.

- giant marble
- airforce wristband
+ shoe laces
+ hacky sack

Enjoyable walk in the park, thanks very much. Time for some lunch now.

Enjoyable multi, took exactly 45 mins and I was back to the car. However that did include a bit of waiting at WP2 and the final due to muggles.
This multi is almost like a maze and I can understand P&P's frustrations, but all part of the fun.
Nil in or out, many thanks.

Oh so very frustrating! Too many fences and gates and buzzing little go-carts! The heat must have fuddled our brains as we seemed to come up against barriers and found it hard to get around them, took us much longer than expected. First stage was great, second stage annoyed us, attacked it from the long way around and then watched as two girls walked through the missing link, and the Final was just too frustrating, we knew where it was but could not find how to get at it. We're sure that gate was closed, ...we even entered into Splash Planet to try but found ourselves cut off again. After a fruitless attempt we spotted girls on bikes who unknowingly showed us the way, how had we missed it?
We found it eventually, almost out of reach.
Out - blue clip and lollipop to renew our energy, we could see the ants hanging around.
In - glass ball

Enjoyed the ducks on the stream, and discovered another lovely little park we didn't know was here. Enjoyed the walk through Splash Planet. Thanks.

Found the first clue with coords for the second. Made our way to the second location but nothing could be found after two searches in two days.

Thanks for placing this cache. I found it, not easily, but a nice little challenge. I really enjoyed doing this in fact it took me to some places I have not been since I was a child. Be great if you could place some more like this around. Many thanks Carla

Thanks for setting up this cache, it is fantastic to get some new caches. Unfortunately, I could not find the first clue. Co-ordinates took me to a big tree with lots of hiddy holes and looked very carefully in everyone. Also looked in all other places under the tree but nowhere else available. Also the co-ordintes took us to a tree but it was not that close to the bridge. There were other big trees closer??. Will try again another day. Cheers Carla

Sorry to hear this carla6. Have been out to check cache and all still there. Have changed clue to be a more accurate reflection. Hope for more success in the future.
