Secret Lava (Auckland) Panmure, North Island, New Zealand
By Greenblat on 17-May-08. Waypoint GC1CAK0

Have decided to archive due to low number of cacher finds and high number of muggle finds.

Look forward to someone else doing something imagnitive with this primo location!

Unfortuntly stumbled across the empty camo'd cashe down the bank on the way across to the final coords. No log book or lid to be seen.

A great cache thanks. We really enjoyed the walk. The cache was partly out in the open and could be easily seen from above, but all looked intact and we rehid it well. TFTC

This one gave a nice early morning workout by going straight up to WP1.

Cheers for the cache.

New container - camo painted this time. Please re-hide well after finding.

All go again

Cache container has dissapeared. Will probably replace soon.

Great walk around the summit. Quit windy up the top though. No problems with the waypoints but it appears someone has muggled the final. There is a log entry saying they found it and there appears to be no geocoins in the cache. Other than that it's still in good nick. TFTC

Ahhh, finally... this hill has been crying out for a cache for ages! Thanks.

Mentioned to colleague I was going caching; he was keen, so we went together.

good exercise walking up and down the mountain. I am *so* out of shape.

TNLNSL TFTC beautiful views.

Clever cache, quite well hidden. We took some friends for their first cache and they loved it, took toy car left jeep travel bug. TFTC

Placed Jeep travel bug

My first cache, and quite an easy find! Had Geogats with me to show me how it's done! =)

No rain for a change, but still a bit slippery. Great location for a cache, great views.
Dropped off PCJ5BX, collected from LA.

Dropped in on my may home, weather sunny and fine for a change.

Took the long way (up from the bottom) to get to GZ, then realised there was a much easier route!

Was in the area on another Greenblat hunt, so dropped by. Magnificent day, a huge contrast from the preceeding week of diabolical weather, and views to match from the top.
A slightly dodgy character was hanging around the trig, and remained there while I was searching for the final, so felt under observation the whole time. Fortunately GZ provided a bit of cover. TNLN, cheers!

Nice one Greenblat. A bit windy today, but a leats it was not raining.
I did this one 'paperless' (PDA) and as a POI downloaded to my Tomtom. Thanks for the tip GB.

Quick find. Liked the hiding spot for the final. Enjoyed the panoramic views on offer, while completing the maths. Have climbed this hill many a time, was wondering when you would get around to hiding your first cache. Looking forward to many more … if you can find more suitable places to hide .

We seem to recall finding a cache on this volcanic cone last visit to Auckland a couple of years back. Still enjoyed the rim walk. Dropped of the Aragorn TB

Headed here this morning, nice wee walk, took some pics, thanks GB, hope to see more of yours, took some pics.

Nice GZ location. Took GC's, mini pens, put in some plastic toys.

First time here, cheers

I spent a lot of time up here as a kid with a sled . Amazing to see the difference in the surrounds now. Seems a much more popular place these days too.

Thanks Greenblat for the exercise.

Been some time since we have been up here, so interesting to see the development in the old quarry.

Clever hiding spot, like the way you can dissapear whilst signing the log.

A really great spot for a cache, and well hidden. Started off by looking in more dangerous places but finally trusted the GPSr like we should have done in the first place and it was quickly located. Took the 2 TBs to move on. TFTC.

Thanks,
Chris & Vera.
