A Bit of a Tough One (Auckland) Bayswater, North Island, New Zealand
By funkymunkyzone on 04-Feb-08. Waypoint GC1947P

Gone, freeing up the area for someone else to place a cache here. Thanks for the visits.

Hi FMZ, can you please confirm cache is still there? otherwise maybe archiving is a sollution

Saw that it hadn't been found in a while but we were in the area anyway and thought we would have a quick look. No luck though.

Good look but certain it's not there, found fabric piece which might have been the cache cover?

Hasn't been found in almost a year so might pay to check on it.

Should have seen that this one hasn't been found in almost a year before we wandered further along the track. A big DNF for us.

lost

Had a look around all nearby trees using the required distance but DNF.

17-01-2011

Put us down for a DNF on this one--there was nothing there--believe it may be gone.

TFTC.

Went past this one in the hope of finding the final of a nearby puzzle cache. Well at least i got this one. TFTC

Found in seconds by Jnr Pastamaker. Cache was completely exposed so we covered it when we left but suspect the high winds are responsible for removing the cover.

Picked up TB

TFTC

Baaaahh means found

This was made not so tough due to the fact it we saw it from a few paces back - all intact though and still nice and dry. Tried to give it a bit more stealth on the re-hide. TFTC

quick find at groundzone, T4TC

#1298. The toughest bit was to have to wait out the passing of the showers today. Nice placement. Unfortunately My First Bag GC was not in the cache.

Was a good day to visit (Sunday) as we were able to park in the nearby muggle-business' spaces, right on the cache. Great view over a 'wilderness' area between commercial and residential areas. Thanks for bringing us to this point.

Good location, soon located the cache. SL TFTC

Adding correct GC

Found this one. Nice and easy. Working in the building in behind it. Last find on this trip before heading home to Australia.
Left 2 TB's Aust Falg and First Bag. Now they can have a trip around NZ.

MY 100 FIND YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made this harder than I needed too!

Nice walk through the reserve at lunch time - Took TB, left Travel Slug TFTC

Found TB Cape to Cape Beaver

nice easy short walk and find.....if you dont take the wrong path!, we took the lower path from AMJ and had a a hot sweaty walk along the water front before realising staying up near the buildings would be the better option. Still nice little cache, briming with stuff for the kids. Dropped off a TB. TFTC

dropped of the CAJA1 TB

not too tough but the rain got us! TFTC

Decided to wait for the sunset for this one. It was totally worth it!!! Went with diggadydoggy and ended up having a bit of a photo shoot with the sunset in the background. Amazing view, even with the clouds! TFTC Took peg Left smiley face flashing badge

easy on the weekend with no one arond TFTC TNL peg

Quick and easy find. Thanks.

A quick easy find. Cache a little bit uncovered, hide again before leaving. TNLN SL 1113hr TFTC

Nice easy find without the camo. TFTC

Another one in the bag! TFTC

On the due list for a verrrrrryyyyyyyyyy long time. Parking is always an issue during the day.
Had to pick something up from the nearby camera store, so parking was no problemo this time.
Nice views. Quick find.
TFTC

Found with JDHnz during an afternoon of caching dodging the showers and after a bit of a hunt around possible GZs. TFTC

Found with the assistance of TreMichLan. Coordinates seemed to be a little bit out, so had us digging through the leaves in the wrong area for a little while. TNLNSL, thanks.

No 26 for the day. Glad I did this one on a Sunday. Would be really difficult during the week. TFTC

Stopped here while doing maintenance on our cache Where House.
Swift find in the first place we looked. Nice views from here too.
TFTC

TNLN - work near here, quick lunchtime walk to GZ
Cache needs a new pencil or a sharpner - I'll try to drop one off if I can

Apologies for late posting. Nice easy cache on afternoon out with Kayaknkiwi. Would recommend it for weekend caching though, parking easy as pie, and no spectators! TFTC

Wow what a view, gives you a different perspective on city from this point. Much appreciated. We got here as the sun was heading down beautiful. Nice hide no problem here with muggles today, no one was around! Thanks for the adventure. TFTC!

Found with Yeetrees on our big Auckland cache raid weekend.
Not to tough to find the cache.
TFTC

Not too many issues with this one today, so it wasn’t too tough, decided to rescue Huey McDuck CR Geocoin to move to new home. TFTC LNSL(937)

Found with cheekykea5 and coolkiwi3. Got REALLY muddy slip-sliding around on the wet grass. BEWARE!!

Super-muddy here today. My little brother slipped over four times! T4TC

A Bit of a Tough One wasn't too tough today. On this rainy Saturday we used the empty carparks of the nearby commercial buildings, and parked almost on top of it! Great view of the tuff crater. Thanks.

#714
A nice quick find in an interesting area, it was sunrise but the views were lovely.
TNLN TFTC

Easy find but pays to look at the map or else it's a 2.5km hike if you park in the wrong place , good for the fitness and step count though and that's what it's all about (as well as the smiley faces on the maps and the numbers ). T4TC.

Nice easy find on a Saturday, no problem with parking. TFTC

Great day out and walk with the kids. TFTC

Further on our Sunday Stroll, went on to find this one. Also managed to find a shortcut back to the bottom track a bit slippery though. Nice views from up here. SL TNLN. TFTC.

XC and TK joined hundreds of other bikers today on the Toy Run... Charity for the Salvation Army... Excellent ride...

Easy enough find.. TK signed log and left cards.
TFTC #823

I had the feeling we were being watched - look out for big brother...

This one tried to trick us but we got there - and much less trickery than the near by one that had us fooled!

nice easy find cheers

Quite easy when you log carefully a second time! Cheers Gav [2342]

found on a cache raid weekend with Kiwi_Explorer

A Sunday is definitely a good day to visit if you want to get close in the car!
Many thanks

Much easier to park around here on the weekend. Nice easy find, a bit wet under foot. T4TC

Easy find on a wet Saturday afternoon. Gets a bit boggy when it rains. TFTC

4.25pm. Knew there would be a quicker way but enjoyed the wander around. Took the direct way back on this Sunday afternoon as a rain cloud was brewing and it was cold!!. No difficulty with the find. GPSr very reliable.

Took 'Kiwi Geocoin' TB
No sign of Irish Blessings.... geocoin in the cache [?][?][?]
Cheers M+S [:O)] (1068)

Had a bit of trouble finding somewhere to park, ended up parking around the back of one of the "companies".
Great location, dropped off a coin

Got to hate that flax!
This cache was much easier than expected.

Quick 'n' easy find in the rain - uplifted a geocoin.

Took a little while to find, so many things the same.

In Geocoin (Irish)
Real Green Jeep.

Out Supa Ball

Ahhh... the joy of flax bushes. Settled in for a long hunt, but it was indeed not too tough.

Thanks for the cache.

Quick find at GZ, and took the shortcut back to the car. Great spot and nice views. TFTC

#6 - quick find on Saturday so hopefully no one is working today.
TNLNSL TFTC.

Would be a nice spot to have lunch if you worked nearby, whats the bet no one does though.

TFTC

Decided to do a few close to home. A nice veiew over the crater.
Cheers for the cache.

#840. Walked in from St. Peters Street. There are some magnificent specimens of Cabbage Tree and Palm on the way. TFTC. Took TB.

Knocked off work early to stop the Auckland Caches getting out of control.
Not so tuff today.
Thanks for the cache FMZ
Cheers TT

Ideal target for a ride on the mountainbike. Nice day, nice site and indeed a nice and easy cache. Thanks!

Looked at the wrong tree first, nice wee spot, thanks for the effort, and the placement,

Cheers!

Easier when there's no one around.
Cheers FMZ - M@

A bit of a tough one – NOT. No one around today, so we managed to get a cheeky parking spot within 20m of GZ. Nice views, thanks FMZ.
TNLNSL, TFTC

[Making the most of a day off, couldn't resist having a look for this one.
On such a nice day and with so much commercial muggle activity going on, taking the most obvious route didn't seem the best plan,] so elected to park in suburbaville further around and "take the low road", around the inside of the crater.
[Lil trek and FTF victory was mine!] [:-)]
