NE14 Fishing? @ Needles Eye. (Auckland) Northcote, North Island, New Zealand
By glyn(the only one) on 14-Apr-07. Waypoint GC12634

am redoing

Checked and yeah MIA, all the vegetation it was hidden amongst has been greatly reduced, will replace somewhere else.

will check

Out and about for a spot of caching this afternoon. Thought I would stop by here for a quick find before heading home. Not to be. Spent a few minutes searching before I checked the logs. Yeah, no time for an extensive search. Cache may still well be there, but it is probably worth a check at this stage. Lovely spot though.

Had a good hunt around but no look... We'll be keeping an eye out to see if someone else finds the cach and if so will be back! Great spot though 5 mins from our home that we wouldn't otherwise know existed, so thanks. Lyle family

Spent some time looking for this one. Didn't find, it found where it might have once been, but no luck today.

Nice views from the lookout, pity just couldnt view the cache. Never mind, will be back someday to get a smiley. Enjoying walking around Brikenhead.

A lovely spot indeed with great views. My first time here and well worth the walk. Initially thought the cache was gone...where could it possibly be? Then I found it. After finding the cache, I went down to the sandstone rock and fishing spot to look out across the bay. TFTC.

what an awesome spot! a bit of hunting around until the cache was spotted from the right angle. Thanks for bringing us here

And this is when I was so happy for being smart enough to put gumboots on!! We came from along the bottom path... which was literally a river... the stairs down to the water were a waterfall!! Water over my angles flooding down!! WOW!!
It was an amazing spot to be in such torrential rain!

But unfortunalely, we looked every, but the right spot obviously... no sign of any cache, even after over 30 mins...

And we were completely soaked to the core... my clothes were dryer when I pulled them out of the washing machine than they had been after about 8 hours of drying overnight...

TFTH though! It was definitely an experience!

I warned Robert that glyn is the master of disguising the caches which blends in the environment perfectly. We enjoyed the clear weather to see the amazing views from here while following the GPSr to the secret location . We got to the spot and wondered what we were looking for when suddenly the cache was spotted, sitting right there, of course covered by natural camo. Nice hide

Found while in the area.

This one took a bit longer to find than it should have. Doesn't look like its been found for a few months so the cache was probably a bit more 'camo'd' by the surrounding vegetation. Anyway, good coordinates and a bit of persistence and I managed to snag the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

A new track that we did not know about, some great views!
Thanks for bringing us here.

This time mom found it!

saw a sinking boat from here

Last one for the morning. A quick find for the Junior Pastamakers and a fantastic view of the bridge.

TFTC

Missed my ferry this morning and decided to go after this cache rather than waiting at the terminal. Nice small reserve with great views, TFTC

12:26 Found with ease once I 'looked' properly. I am the first one to find for sometime.TFTC

Came back twice today, no luck. Will try again with a more accurate GPS!

Thanks.

Dodged the construction work for a quick easy find. Cool little place even at low tide on a stormy day.

No 13 on our caching day in Auckland. Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice spotting by Joel!

Found after realising our GPS had us pointing in the wrong direction[?]
On a cahe raid today to get 100 finds

Nice and easy find after a dreadful caching start this morning. Lovely spot thanks for bringing me here.
TNLNSL cheers

Had a nice lunch at Saucilito and set off replete to continue our caching. Neat park but seems to be nameless these days. Lived on the shore 20 odd years ago but didn't know of it. Cache still quite exposed but can't argue w success. NINO TFTC

Just going back through gianouts' finds to see what I need to catch up on! Have no idea why I didn't log this at the time!!!

Back to give this another go, and just walked straight up to it. Possibly due to more accurate GPS positioning today.

Having commiserated my failure last time with some dutch pancakes, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate my success with the same pancakes

http://dutchdelight.co.nz/home.php?l=birkenhead

Hmmm.... bacon and apple pancake...

Nice and easy find.

Easy find as cache was quite exposed...we've conceled a bit better now. Great views from GZ. SL TFTC

I started walking to this cache direct from the Tribute to the Scottish King cache. However, a call of nature had me change direction before I had had a chance of getting bogged - little did I know then that a hill climb would have been required. Phew, what a lifesaver! Once refreshed - nice talking, music playing loo [^] - I drove the cachemobile to within about 80m of the cache so I managed to avoid any bogging and puffing. TNLN T4TC.

Last of the day for me. Found just as getting dark. SL TFTC

great little site with a lovely view across the bay. We have to agree with the last comment about the cache being out in the open. The cache was so easily viewable that the kids decided it was 'too easy" and put a few loose leaves on top TFTC

Another pretty view across the Harbour to the Bridge. I can see why the owner is enamoured by this location. The cache itself is probably the most "out in the open" cache I have so far found - it was spotted from meters away. Took a small rally car and left an old watch. TFTC

Nice easy find

What a great spot for a cache, would have never know about this place if it were not for caching, Thanks for bringing me here. TFTC TNLNSL (1510)

DNF in the rain after dark.

Quick and easy find in a very nice spot. Stopped and had a coffee here. Thanks.

Lovely views from this park. Cache nicely tucked away. TFTC

caches there, Tremichelan aint, log deleted! pity we cant delete him & all his alias's as well.

Found with JDHnz during an afternoon of caching dodging the showers. TFTC

a nice spot that I think I've been to before for another cache in the past, but can't remember what. TNLNSL, thanks.

Very nice spot..T4TC

Nice easy find, what a briliant view even on a rainy day.

No idea where to look for this one. Gave it up to go have some dutch pancakes - Bacon, apple, and treacle.

You drive around Budokan and I will go as the crow flies. Seemed ok, until a channel with ankle deep mud got in the way. Knew this would draw a laugh from Budokan, was not dissapointed. Happy to have the cache in hand quickly. SL TFTC

Hanjac and I were on a power run so he legged it from the previous cache whilst i transferred the car closer to this one. Turns out the mudflats had a large water channel running across them which he couldnt quite jump. Haha it made up for the Welcome to Bathurst cache he made me do a few months ago which got my feet very wet
TFTC

ANOTHER LITTLE PARK WITH A GREAT VIEW-RAIN STOPPED SO WE COULD ADMIRE THE VIEWS-THANKS FOR BRINGING US TO ANOTHER GREAT PLACE

Another to credit to Rich the man, Lovely spot. No fish today. T4TC

This is a lovely lookout point. Narrow like a needle... but not sure about the eye. [B)]

Out exploring Northcote with Kiwifeet today. This was our 4th find of the day and a great little spot to eat our lunch and enjoy the view. Thanks.

Out with Helefant and alas it was low tide. Got to see some great views. SL TNLN TFTC.

Why oh why are easy cache sometimes so hard to find (and visa versa)
3rd time lucky (after seeing the logs of all those newbees, I though, "then I must be able to find it too)

Thanks for bringing me to such a nice spot (maybe that why I came back so many times)

Fantastic location with stunning views. Cache was an easy find.

Had a friendly chat with the lady in the house who was watering some new plants in the reserve. Made our way to the cache but our old dog (who's deaf and nearly blind, was having a spot of trouble on the steep bits , she just doesn't like missing out and doesn't like staying in the car. Thanks Glyn for taking us to yet another amazing spot. T4TC.

XC on daily morning hunt before work... Parked splat nearby and walked down lower path then up to GZ. Found easily. This is a GREAT spot... GTOO finds some nice places to put a cache.
Signed log and replaced.

cool view, easy find, nothing swapped, TFTC.

Took along some extra helpers and soon had the cache uncovered. Great views....especially of the sad house poised on the cliff edge.by the upper path.
Took out the clog keyring for the growing collection and added a shot glass.

Was in the area so decided to go for a walk. Wow, what a view...fantastic!!! Who would of thought! Thanks for bring me here. The beauty of caching is that it is taking me to places that just take your breath away!! Thanks for bring me here. TNLN. TFTC.

awesome view!
nice day, wanted to go for a swim.

Came back twice, but still a DNF.
Nice location.

13:25 Great view of bridge today and another well hidden Glyn cache indeed. Picked my time ok, because as I was leaving a women walked into the park. Thanks for the cache Glyn.

Took: Nothing
Left: Patchy Dog Tb
Logged in Thong TB and To Molfrew-mosstoad, From TrEACle ... With Love TB for mileage and pic.

I visited the place a few days ago and didn't find it.
It was getting dark therefore I had to give up.

Returned on Friday morning and found it with some effort. The GPS gave me the wrong position, almost 10 meters down the track.

Added a 10 cent coin, brazilian money.
Very nice park, calm and relaxing.

Tried to get to this one direct from "Tribute to the Scottish King" on the other side of Shoal Bay but was starting to lose Grand-Greenblat in the deep mud, so drove there instead.
Picked up Bicycle TB

We tried our fishing off the B'head wharf earlier today, unsucessfully caught nothing! The tide was out at this cache so couldn't cast off from here but found the cache instead which made us happy. Good views from the area and would love to live in one of the houses near by!

TBcoin out and TB in.

Another outstanding view of the city. Thought the puds geocoin would enjoy this.

nice easy find today. Muggles close but the wrong kind of close to be any trouble. TNLN, cheers for the cache.

Nice easy find. TNLN

Spent alot of time in this area in the past so finding the area was easy.... finding the cache wasn't too hard iether.

#3 of 6. Our friends live down this street. Theyv'e been caching with us before but this must have eluded our radar. Thanks GSAK for pointing this one out.
Watch out for dog poo, seems there was 3 piles and one caught my wife's shoe. The stink was pretty bad and initialy was a bit reticent to stick hands in places that might stink. This was b4 we found it was on MRS SWW's running shoe.
- alien and ball + whistle and bubble maker.
TFTC.

A flying trip through Auckland with 30 minutes down-time on the North Shore.. so a-caching we will go. A little gem of a park - yet another place I had no idea existed.
TNLNSL - thank you

Nice Camo. Quick find as GPS put me right on top of it.

Stopped here for lunch, had to find this to keep up with Kaz who visited a couple of days before. TNLNSL TFTC.

Out getting coffee at one of the great cafes in the area, so thought I would have a crack at this one... Nice easy find. Great place to take your coffee and sit awhile as the views are awesome. Lucky for me the rain had stopped and the sun was out.
TNLNSL. T4TC

2.05pm. A fascinating little park on the point. How do people find little gems like this? YAPIDNA. It provides an excellent view of the bridge and city skyline. Must come back on a sunny day. Cache find straightforward.
TNSL - left Kalamari's Kousin TB. No sign of Round Trip Elmobug TB.
