pauatanhui cache of joy! (Wellington) Paremata, North Island, New Zealand
By miowmix on 02-Sep-07. Waypoint GC15KFB

I'm unable to repair/replace this right now as I'm in the UK for the forseeable future.

Thanks for your prompt response. Would love to do something about a replacement but wouldn't be for a couple of weeks at least!

Would love to try this cache as this is my old stamping ground from my youth.
But seems there is no point at the moment in view of no recent activity and previous DNF's.
Can owner please check if it is still there and replace or archive if not? Thanks.

I had few minutes so I tried this one. It was already dark but I had a torch. I am almost cofident that the cache is gone.

Had a brief hunt here but wasn't too hopeful given all the past DNFs.

No sign, maybe its gone. Either way the owner should have a look.

Had a thorough search around three spots close to GZ all broadly fitting the clue. No luck. I think it's gone MIA.

not Found on a road trip to Wellington from Auckland.

Visited today with TWS. I have previously found this cache but couldn't find it today. Maybe missing?

Gps took us to a very likely spot, but dispite an extensive search, came up with nothing.

Thought we knew where it should be but nothing.But we did have a good walk on the Camborne walkway. Will try agan next year.

Nice easy find, cache was a little exposed so I covered it TFTC

It has been close to twenty years since I last did this walk. Thanks for bringing me back.

The second today, this one was found by Louise.

In: Danish coin(1krone)
Out: Green fish

Lovely walk along the beach front.
When retrieving the cache, slipped down the bank and as a result cracked the cache container. This will compromise the water tightness. Deepest apologies

Our first find - used Google Maps to help find it as we don't have a GPS yet! Good fun. TNLNSL

#201. Nice little walk on this fine winters day, TNLNSL, TFTC.

A good hide and the clues helped a lot.

Had been waiting for the Geocaching.com site to come back up after the fire in their Seattle datacentre so I could get some cache co-ords for the weekend. Slightly cold day but fine to get out with the kids.

We've never been down this track so was great being bought here for this cache. Was interesting checking out the boat sheds.

- blue F1 car, stone crab
+ horse clock, plastic fish

TFTC, SL

Really enjoyed this walkway. Some very nice views, and areas I hadn't seen before. Found cache, SL TNLN TFTC

Nice spot.Took coin. TFTC

Nice easy find in the setting sun, in a place I have only ever seen in paintings. TFTC.
- jandal keyring, + handmade person-figure keyring.

Gandalf was getting bored so moved him on. Cache almost completely exposed but intact. Have replenished covering. TFTC.Nice photo of inlet to download soonish. TFTCSL

Nice Cache. Great hide. I replace a few more leaves around it to hide it a wee bit better. TFTC.

Quickly picked this one up while passing the neighbourhood. Had to wait for several canines and their walkers to pass.
+ Gandalf TB, gonefishing fish
TFTC

Quick find on the way home from a trip in the Manawatu. A beautiful moonlit night with the moon reflecting across the inlet.

- Stress ball, + 1 Euro, SL, TFTC

very first find TFTC TNLN

have had several tries at this but always lots of muggles about so dashed in and signed the book when I had the chance TNLN TFTC

What a neat spot. This was the first find for team leader.
- dice, + stress ball

Took Mr. Oinky TB

Last one for the day - Dropped in on the way back from rock-pooling at Plimmerton and B0RG JNR tagging along found it first Loved all the baches on the water's edge! TNLNSL, TFTC

FYI: I found the co-ords to be at least 19m out - The reading I took at the GZ was S 41° 05.793 E 174° 52.242

Nice quick find and a great area to visit. TFTC

1925 14/2/09 3 of 4 for today! (3 found total)

After some rummaging around and wondering around the trees I finally found this one!

TFTC.

Finally we are actually heading north it seems. This cache was our first along the highway proper. Loved the little baches along the beach. Initially we were on the wrong level for this one, but Annie enjoyed her scramble up the bank anyway. PB took a more orthodox route up the stairs!! Should have trusted our instincts on this one, as it turned out to be in the first spot that we thought, even though Annie searches a few other places first. TNLN TFTC

Great little spot. Took Travel Bug TBBD61 and left Blue Racing Car - Dangad999

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble. Found it Thanks

TBBD61, Gumby & Pokey left here on 12-28-08.
Thanks, eldoradosnoops

Great site: great day lovely and sunny. Had Binkle with me enjoyed the stroll up from the beach, Forgot our parachutes but returneed safely. Took travel bug - will move it to Palmerston North tomorrow.

Found on a lovely hot summer's day after a walk around inlet from Grays Road end. Left small concrete crab made by me.

Easy enough find on a stunning day
Took a TB that hadnt been logged in yet

Hot work this one, if you are dressed from head to toe in motorbike gear and it's a sunny mid-summer mid-day! Nice place to stop, TFTC.

Heading off to Wanganui to watch the motobike races. Quick find in a lovely spot. Took Simba TB and left Henny TB. But will log these properly when I have a chance, as I'm still touring around the North Island with almost no internet access. TFTC

Found on a misty rainy day on Day 6 of our trip to New Zealand. We are travelling with 45 scouts from Canada, UK and Australia and touring New Zealand for three weeks. We were hosted to a great BBQ in the nearby Sea Scout hall and had time to find this nice cache. Dropped 2 TB. Thanks for the Cache, KoB & N,

Found today with King of Beasts...thank-you. N

Last find of a [Lou Reed] 'Perfect Day', preceded by strawberries and ice-cream on a nearby park bench.

Happy! Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Joy!

Found while on a nice walk after a training session. tftc

Found this morning after having to give up on GC17Z99 because of the muggle who came outside to do some gardening just after I arrived. As Arnie says I'll be back.
The cache is overflowing with the"usual tat" so TNLNSL. The hardest part of the hunt was getting the cache shut again Haha TFTC

77: Quick find on a chilly and windy spring day. Was just passing along from visiting a friend to another. Cause of the weather I had no problems with muggles but had a very little trouble with the step bank Dropped a TB that I picked up in Moscow and requested to be placed in any cache more eastern. Well, I was a bit cheating as I went via Canada ... but still, this cache is more eastwards from Moscow than westwards With all the goodies that already have been in there plus the additional TB, there is absolutely no room left! TFTC, I enjoyed the view and will be coming back on a nice day to bring the beauty of this place to the outer world

Nice area. Decided the GPS wasn't needed and made it a wee bit harder than necessary. TFTC.

Nice cache on a very popular track, played a bit of a waiting game with the muggles but got it OK in the end

Lovely walk to the cache.. Never realised how close we were to the water from the main road... Thanks for the cache..

I found this with JbruceH. TNLN. Thanks.

Found it beside not inside. What a lovely spot. Water was like glass. TFTC.

Found it on a lovely spring day. TFTC

-sellotape
+balloon
+party popper

This one has the wrong name of the cache in the log book. Besides that it was fun. TFTC

Found this one with a flashlight as it was getting dark. Visiting from the US on holiday with my family. Left a whistle and took some possum fur and a seashell. Log book said "Under the Bridge" which confused me a bit. TFTC!

A nice little place to go to. Unfortunately I have muddled up my hint notes for this cache, but after looking under a few seats, realised my mistake. TFTC

#114. Always wondered how to get to these boat sheds from the other side of the inlet. Now we know.
- USA coin
+ huhugrub marble
SL. TFTC.

Enjoyed the walk to this. Came down from the road above because that was where the GPS led us! Interesting little spot. Easy find. TFTC

A nice short walk from the car
Need to have a good pair of walking shoes to climb up bank

[0paco0 found it while Red and the Cache-dogs played on the beach below.

]The trunk has been bowled over by a large concrete boulder, so it is not leaning any more- it has fallen over. No mind, the cache is still safe and at the same coords[

Coordinates spot on! TNLNSL TFTC.]

A quick find thanks.
TNLNSL. TFTC.

Third find for the day. I'd been to the boat sheds before for a party. Great spot.

Nice place to go for a walk, TNLN TFTC

Nice site. NTNL TFTC

Coordinates spot on! -keyring +set of colourful erasers.

It is good to be there.

This is a lovely area at high tide, nice easy find TFTC TNLN

Great fun for two lads new to the game. Paddled canoes from Mana Marina, under bridges, to Camborne Walkway, a quick find. Thanks to miowmix.

Full tide and full sun made this a pleasant walk. Took dog and left tape measure.TFTF.

I approached this from the Mana Rd entrance to the Camborne walk and the viewsd over the inlet were sensational. A lovely spot for a cache. Thanks

A beautiful, picturesque spot.
Watched two cyclist lift their cycles up and over the bike stop! Took the lower track first by error, but quickly realised our mistake.

The location is gorgeous but sadly we could not locate this cache after half an hour searching and decided we would have to try again another time.

2nd find for the day; fourth now without having used my GPSr yet.
