Second time it's gone, wont replace.

Have logged this as a find even though cache wasn't there. Can see where it was. There's a screw eye up underneath with a piece of approx 40kg nylon purposefully tied to it. Something was hanging on it but has been cut off. If you don't agree that we found it and it has been muggled change this log to a DNF. The Italian Job was here......!

All go again, have down a few times but always people fishing near the spot.

cache missing, will decide what to do soon.

Spent about 20 very cold minutes looking. I must be going blind.

Could have been named stinker instead of sinker, very clever hide resulted in a long scramble over the rocks but I was determined as the tide was low and the day good.
Surprised a muggle which was quite entertaining and had to explain the principles of this game.
Thanks

What a creative hide! Was very impressed with this. Hope to find more caches with such creativity.

Found this one with 1 eye on the waves. Nice hide. TFTC

Great hide watched Wally0ne retrieve this one as i watched the tide.TFTC.

i wish i could have gone down there, but i had t hold the GPS TFTC

Second visit to this one. First visit found hook line but no sinker. Came back at low tide and no muggles and successfully located hook line and sinker. TFTC

TFTC that was a nice one to find. Really great view~

All the fisherman where at the start of the wharf which was most convenient. A quick find but the rocks where a bit slippery.

Found with simpsonsrgr8 on the way home to Dunedin

When I arrived there was a muggle fishing, I waited for a bit, then a pait of tourist muggles arrived. I hung around another 10 minutes or so and then left. Just as I reached the end of the wharf they all started packing up. So i went back out and got to it, just before another lot of fishing muggles arrived.

Thought this was a great cache and a nice walk out along the pier as well.

Still a few muggles around at 9.15pm. Although we could get the cache without bein seen. Good hide. TFTC

A pleasant walk out to the end, lots of boys jumping into the water half way along the wharf but no one out the end. A few big waves made for a nice shower in the heat. TNLN Thanks.

A tricky wee appropriately named cache, pleased there were no waves today.
Thanks

Log was stuffed - discussed this issue with a surprise visit with Bitsprayer the next day at my event in Dunedin. Have photo of hide if its required.

Many thanks

No fishermen today

Log very wet

Found whilst in the area working on a multi. TFTC TNLN SL Log was very wet

Saw a fellow Geocacher at the cache site. The water sprayed me a couple of times. =( TFTC!

wow cool spot, quick find which included..1 blue penguin, 1 dolphin but no pencil, so we improvised cheers!

Found with Termin8tor turning up at the same time and noticed another group with GPS in hand behind us

The sun was just about to go down, so not too many muggles around, but I think I was getting suspicious looks from the penguins. Also got caught by a freak wave, should have heeded the low tide warning.
Many thanks

Low tide for me too which certainly helps. Well named and a good hide.

Mr Explorer startled a baby seal 3m from gz or did it startle him. No sign of mum luckily. TFTC.

2290. The wind was really blowing but luckily it was low tide and also the area was completely deserted. This was another tricky hide that calls for some care on the finder's part.

Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Interesting place to go sarching. We were glad the tide was low.

Co-ordinates spot on! Nice sea running too. Thanks.

Had a quick look for this a few weeks ago while en route to Christchurch. Obviously didn't find it but this time located it quickly. Makes a big difference when you don't have time pressure on you!

Great spot - wandered out just on sunset, and had the end of the wharf to myself. Cache was an easy find - though I was getting splashed by a few of the large breaking waves. Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1240)

Good walk, enjoyed hanging around under the wharf in true geocacher fashion.

last time we were here, it was impossible to find it, was no problem this time, great cache!!!

Took a second look to find this cache. Sea was beautifully calm this trip. Lots of people fishing.

Nice hide from the tide. Took a while to find it, but it was fairly obvious when you looked on it with the correct perspective. Cheers Gav [2197]

Found this one on a quick tour with my Dad, Moneydork.

Very clever. TFTC

Went at high tide a had a look but nothing so had a chat with the owner and went back few hours later and found it ok. TFTC.
