As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

fix or go

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

Sorry, but due to imminent construction work we will have to remove this cache to a safe spot. We will rehide it once groundwork is complete. (Sadly, due to coming holiday period, it could be some time before a safe hide is available at this corner)

(2271) Easy find. Obviously!

Headed up with a new container so all good to go! Good luck, enjoy the view.

Quick check on Mr Nalawod's morning run, and sadly it is not in place. Will have to organise another container and replace.

No luck with this one.

Logged it with DroidCachebox!

We visited this cache during our trip through out New Zealand!
With our rental car, we explored the north island for 12 days.
NZ is a beautiful country and we really enjoyed our time here.
We hope to return one day and explore a little bit more!

Day 9 - Pahia to Awanui

After two rainy days, today the weather was finally sunny, and that was great, this way we were able to enjoy the beauty of this area. We had a great time today and found a bunch of caches!

This one we didn't find -

Thanks for the cache.
Greetings from Portugal.

Another stunning view in paradise.

Tftc , good view

Quick find

#10965. Parking was tricky, so Troodles dropped me off and then looked for somewhere to turn round. TFTC.

Our last full day in Doubtless Bay, so we decided to have a quiet time, not straying too far from home base. Spent the earlier part of the morning investigating options for replacing my broken Oregon , then headed out late morning to find a cache or three. It was tough for me without a GPSr, and having to rely on StreetWalker for cache info, etc.
Another great view point and another quick find. I spotted and SW retrieved. TFTC.

TFTC, challenging for first day geocaching but good, awesome views all around

Not the most "obvious hide" for me, as there were several other likely candidates in the area, but I found it in the end. It is not a one star cache in either difficulty or terrain, and they should both be corrected, especially the one star terrain rating, which means it is accessible to someone in a wheelchair. Really! You believe a person in a wheelchair could go up that dirt embankment? Not likely!
But TFTC nalawod. It's a good place for a cache; it just needs the ratings corrected; especially the terrain. It would not be fair to a handicapped person to come here thinking your cache was accessible to them, when it isn't.

Thanks

On a mission this weekend with Cats&Dragons, with a the main goals of reaching Cape Reinga to find the Virtual caches up there and the 35 and 36 degree South challenges, plus with anything else in between. We had a great time touring around Northland, and it is a pretty spectacular place. Being from Southern Northland, it has reminded me that I need to visit this place more.

The initial plan was to head up the west coast and on to Ninety Mile Beach (which was a huge highlight of the trip) and then down the east coast, but the plan was flexible depending on progress. We mostly achieved our ambitious plan, but due to time restraints had to cut back a bit from the planned list. If we had another day I think we would of achieved most of what we had planned.

Some of the figures for the trip were, 1600km's travelled in a 48 hour period, 37 hours of caching, 4 hours of sleep, and 7 hours driving up from Hamilton and back, with a total of 176 caches found!!

Thanks to all the CO's for placing these caches and showing us around Northland.

A little confused about this one for a while. Was just starting to think we will have to leave it, as I spotted a likely place, followed by locating the cache.

This weekends little adventure was in the company of HKCB (as we'd both been given leave passes by our respective partners) so off we set.
The primary goals this weekend were to collect as many of the earthcaches as time would allow, the two virtuals, and complete both the requirements for the S35 & S36 challenges. Mind you this did not stop us working to collect anything else that we could find as time allowed.
It was a great trip with the weather playing its part so that we saw a great variety of countryside between caches and far too little sleep.

The result was 1600kms (over 48 hours), 189 caches (35 hours caching) & 4 hours sleep, not bad for a couple of beginners. Thanks to all the CO's and those that maintain the caches for us to collect on our too brief tour of the north.

Having finished our morning adventure up the beach and to the lighthouse it was now time to travel back down the Tombolo to see what we could grab. Now its fully dark time so will be interesting to see how long we last as the previous night we only got 1.5hours sleep

Thanks for the placement

Didn't find it dam next time when muggles not around doing drive by's looking at me lol

I had been out exploring the Karikari Peninsula today - a lovely and sunny Easter Sunday.
Came on this detour on my way back to Mangonui. A wonderful view, thanks nalawod.
TFTC.

After spending yesterday caching around the Far North, today yorkshirekiwi83 and I made our way from Kaitaia back to Auckland via Doubtless Bay and Paihia, stopping for many caches along the way. A quick find in the rain, with a nice view. TFTC!

[red] 2016 NZ Mega Event in Turangi... http://www.nzmega2016.nz

I am unashamadley after numbers at the moment so a trip to Northland with Vistra was planned, Saturday up to the Cape staying in Kaitaia then heading to Paihia for a late lunch event.

Popped up the hill and parked in the drive, and explored a nearby oobject to no joy, headed down the hill a bit and spotted a likely hiding spot, this time it was correct. TFTC

A muggle in her garden opposite. Our last cache of the year for 2013. Where has the year gone?

Took a bit to find but did get there in the end.

Found after little search. Don't think the terrain rating is right, I really can't see a wheelchair bound person getting up the embankment to the cache.
Tftc

Nice find on a beautiful day with Riser5.

Very quick find. Great view

Found as part of my Post Mega northen road trip. Really enjoyed a part of the country I hadn't seen before. Thanks to all those who have placed cacahes to encourage us southerners to come your way!

Yep it was a great view on a lovely sunny and warm winters day -Tftc and the wee detour

A lovely view from the top, lots of cars coming round the corner for soem reason so had to do a quick jump into the bushes and find the cache. TFTC

Worth coming up here to see the views out to sea.

Parked at the obvious place and enjoyed the views while locating the cache. Thanks

We are on our second caching holiday in New Zealand. However, two days ago Marco had a fall and is now on crutches, so we are limited to caches that don’t require much walking and easy terrain. We parked close by this one and followed the GPS towards GZ. Marco pointed out where he thought the cache might be hidden and sent me to look – he might have a sore ankle but his geocaching radar was spot on! We dropped off the Lamp TB and signed the log. TFTC

Yep the views are just the best on a beauti day thanks.

NZ11. A nice bit of height gained quickly gave this spot the advertised view. Thanks.

Took a little while, however we were searching in the dark with a torch. TFTC

Nice view!

Fitzy and I are visiting New Zealand for a week to do some caching and have a look around.
This was our eighth cache on day four of our adventure.
We thought this was going to be harder, but as usual fitzy turns everything into a drive by!

3295 - Found with ACBC66 during our NZ Caching tour... Driving from Bay of Islands up to the Cape...

A quick drive up made this a much easier find than I thought it would be. Thanks nalawod !

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

Found with no problems. Great views. TFTC

We were mislead by the terrain rating, until we read some previous logs and discovered this was not valid. We eventually tracked it down, with our coordinates being S34 59.921 E1763 28.347. TFTC

A quick C&D soon had this one in the bag. Grabbed TB. T4tC

Great view indeed. Not quite a T1 though - you'd have a hard time getting a wheelchair in/up there. Another good stop to stretch the legs on the way up to the Cape. TFTC!!!

Nice spot, had to come back as neighbour was gardening on first pass.
dropped travel gnome off

We were traveling to Kerikeri and passed the cache, which was difficult to locate on the right coordinates. After some searching and reading the glue we found the cache. TFTC.

Found with Butters during our labour weekend stay at nearby Hihi.TFTC.

Great day today, had to wait for lady gardening to leave before retrieving cache,great views.In golf ball.TFTC.

Just like the title says... and oh what a gorgeous day! TFTC

Up north with the crew from Motortech 4x4 on a weekend mission to do the Crunchie Trail in Ahipara. Stayed in the beautiful Taipa for the weekend and couldn't miss a quick find before we headed home. TFTC

Nice cache with a good weather !

TB Visit

Rainy day drive by. Second time lucky! T4TC

Such an amazing view I decided to buy the section. I will have to win lotto but that could happen, right? - Fire engine + Phone Book.

12.30pm. Good to find it this time as it was missing on our last visit. Left three TBS
Thank you. David and Noeline.

Awesome spot. Thanks for bringing us here.

Wow! Great area.
