Where the Compass Points (Auckland) Half Moon Bay, North Island, New Zealand
By Greenblat on 02-Jun-08. Waypoint GC1CWPQ

Everything points to this cache having gone South. No sign of the cache where I put it so will archive and free up for other locals cachers to do something imaginative with this one.

Thanks for coming.

will check next week

Suspect the weather or muggles got a hold of this one...

Went without an iPhone (so can't blame the technology) - but no find !

No Luck for us, we spent quite a good length of time searching for this one. But we came up with nothing, found some obvious spots. Might need to check this one out.

Went to look with a friend, armed with an iphone. looked everywhere and could not find. Might want to check that it is still in location as this seems to be the second log of DNF...

Whilst visiting a friend with a squillion dollar house near by, Mrs Fuzzy decided to take a quick walk to GZ but armed with an IPhone she came up empty handed. Maybe next time!

Nice easy find, TFTC SLTNLS

Since I had to look it's all right. TFTC

Lovely spot, some gorgeous houses to oogle at TFTC

nice walk and views - thanks

Found it! Part of a quick 5/5 trip up towards Musick Point.

Now that's one of the prettiest log books I have ever seen. [:-)]
That is the fun of geocaching - finding some of these perfect spots which otherwise we would never know about. Beautiful! TFTC

Out with Hastingus in NZ and found before departing for Waiheke. Great spot. TFTC

Out for the day with Cabhassett and whilst waiting for the Ferry to Waiheke came to find this cache. Spotted it balanced on the wall from the track. Luckily the cache hadn't been muggled so were able to sign the log book. We tucked it back in it's home with extra ballast hoping it wont blow away again. TFTC

Nice spot . Just back from sailing trip with some time to fit this in.
Tftc

What an amazing spot. And the mansions - well, what can one say.
Our last find for the day. Very successful outing in the area with Gillibean. TFTC

A gorgeous spot, tucked away out of sight. TFTC

Lovely day for a walk. TFTC

Great day out for a walk. TFTC

What a great little spot thanks for bringing me here TFTC

yay nice and easy
TFTC

Nice location for the cache. Took a bit of a search. SL TFTC

Our fifth for today. A very nice location. The path was very busy with muggles in the early evening, so some skullduggery was required. Linda walked the old pipeline out to the waters edge while I sat on the wall completing the log. TFTC

Found! Thanks George

Found it on second visit, because there was muddle with book for long time. Thanks. OUT-TB.

GPS led us a little astray at first, but once it settled we could see the likely hide. Thanks for showing us this hidden little bay.

Quick find, great place. Ta.

In spite of living and jogging all over Pakuranga in the 80's and 90's the pathway leading to the cache was unknown to me until today. That was probably because the Health Camp then fully occupied the land inland of the path and I just never tried to pass around the river side of the camp. What a little gem of a bay at GZ. Thanks for leading me there.

Very neat spot. Loved the views, the trees ... everything. Left a Geocoin.

TFTC!

Quick easy find....TFTC

Found on an East Auckland and beyond cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. Certainly observed some impressive real estate on the way to GZ. No problems with cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Found with Biggles while on a tour of East Auckland. Out of my price range but one can dream, enjoyed the walk and the find, thanks.

1210 Quick find whilst waiting for the Waiheke Island Ferry. TFTC

Sqmillions we don't have - but a find we do. Out with Team Welsh. T4TC

No worries here, but as I am logging this find a Tsumani is due to reach Auckland so maybe a beachfront property is not the best idea. TFTC

Nice quiet spot. A big mixture of house sizes, styles and types.

I liked the contrast between old and new here!

Thanks for sharing this spot with us. Very quiet and peaceful, almost made us regret not buying the section here that we looked at a couple of years ago - only problem was the price!!!. TFTC

Great little spot. Tide was in. Found cache fast and no problems. TFTC

Great little spot!! Cache was a little wet (log book is fine) so we left a dessicant in the cache to help dry it out. TFTC really enjoyed the sun and outlook!

If you enjoy living in a house this spot is wonderful... TFTC

Now that I have gotten around to logging my finds, I realize I had a good weekend caching and found a fair few.
Thanks for another cache.

a young couple near gz posed not a problem.
12 & last for day to reach 1100 cache

beautiful spot - T4TC

Enjoyable walk past all of the expensive housing. Great spot for a cache. Quick find T4TC.

Entirely different experience at night.

Good idea with the log books. Thanks for replacing the cache. The spot is lovely.

TFTC

Cache had gone again (sigh!)

Replaced with smaller container

Please rehide carefully

Fished in every nook and cranny. Sadly no cache.

Tide was out so I looked and dug from all angles.

Found on 4/3/09 while out with hubby, son and 2 friends. Was very well hidden. Instructions were a bit ambiguous without a GPS to find location. Well done

TFTC little hard found it as we were going.

Great walk to a lovely secluded spot.tftc.

XC out and about on last day of holiday... Time to hunt a few without TK foiling my finds.. lol... Parked Splat nearby and walked down to GZ. Rock cover made it obvious. Nice spot for a cache..
Signed log and replaced before muggle arrived.

Out geocaching with a friend's Mum. She's not convinced yet on the merits but the fur kids didn't mind their continuing adventure.

3 men out caching for the day
almost put a cache here before leaving the country last year.
thanks

3 friends out caching for the day
tide well out, used to play here a year or two ago before all the boats and houses were here
TFTC

Initially searched an area 20m away as GPS had lost signal and told me I was 50m away, but settled down and pointed me straight at it.
Picked up Taura puzzle piece TB.

Cheers.

Managed to get my feet wet picking up this cache.

Seeing that I was working at the Yacht Club I decided to do this one in my lunch break. This is a nice secluded walk today.

Swapped TBs.

Cheers for the cache.

Night caching is a whole different game. Makes great caches even better.
This location is super. Bring a picnic! We disturbed a muggle's solitude. Another one ran past the top. L glow fly. Great view across the water.

Off for a day caching with Indiana Jill and Seattle’s Best. Wow my first night cache, totally enjoyed this one. Though I was not prepared - no torch! But thanks to my fellow cache mates, they had the gear!! Indiana Jill came up with the goods on this one. Thanks for bringing us here! TFTC!

This was our last cache of the day. Needless to say, it was a night cache! Armed with our high tech torches, we got to the GZ only to discover a muggle on her cell phone. We sat and enjoyed the twinkling lights from the other side of the water. You can even see the top of the sky tower from here! The muggle soon left and the cache was soon in hand. Indiana Jill made the discovery, Kayaknkiwi did the retrieval and I held the high tech torch. All signed the log book! What a team! TNLN. TFTC!!

Great cache. Have only been to this place at high tide on a kayak in previous visits!

An easy find on windy day, never been here before, there certainly are some serious houses in this area.

Then got muggled. I had to sit and wait while a group walked up from the shore examining every single shell, rock pool, and everything else to be found on the rocks before I could re-hide the cache!

Very nice indead. Great spot. TFTC

TFTC! PS I love stairs!

started from the transport hum, liempdma complaining all the while about having to climb stairs. Found it fairly quickly, walked back along the beach (tide was out).

Wasn't hard to find this one.I came around the coast line & could see it clearly.Recovered better than I found it.Dropped off Weathered's Australian Adventure coin.

Cheers Greenblat

Cache still intact but a little exposed. Replaced container with a camo version and closed the back door on the hidey-hole.

had a really good search for this one today... not knowing what i was looking for didn't help, but after now reading the cache notes, it would seem this one may have gone missing

Wow what a nice part of town. Bet it looks fantastic on anything but a wet, damp, drizzly day Cheers Gav [2406]

Yes, a very nice spot for a house but suspect these ones are a bit overpriced for what they are. Enjoyed the visit.
TFTC

Found after looking in a few other likely spots. There was a bit of storm damage surprisingly high up, but the cache was fine.

Thanks for the cache!

First of a couple of caches we did coming back from Waihake Island. TNLN TFTC

Our 2nd cache - Looking forward to heaps more.

Left TB

2nd for the day. Was hoping to tee up with my workmate who lives in the next street but he was out.
Quick find. TNLNSL.
Little did I know YuGeo4 and KiwiGary were hot on my tail.
Anyway TFTC.
Nice spot!!

So overcome by the historical moment we witnessed at the previous cache, that our caching mojo deserted us. Didn’t help that our Compass pointed us in the wrong direction. Needed the PAF option to find this one, how humbling (we’ll just blame Gary). BTW thanks Alan for bringing us to this nice spot, with the nice houses with the nice views.
TNLNSL, TFTC

17:22 Bit of mission but found in the end in a location that I had already searched much to the amusement of the Caching guru Brett
Took: Nothing
Left: FarmTrac tb

Today, we were on our way together with tofska on an East-Auckland-Caches-Powertour.
After having met two other cachers before, we thought, it was YuGeo4 approaching, when we got out of the car. So we went towards them and were about to greet them from a distance, when we realised that they were muggles. Oops. Embarrassed we went for GZ. Nice spot, but also secluded enough for some people to enjoy N2O sniffing. So we did some CITO and left the place with a lot of rubbish.

TTLNSL, TFTC

We thought we might have had our third geo-clash in a row, thinking we'd spotted Yugeo4 in the car which parked in front of us - turns out we were being a bit optomistic .
Nice spot in this newly developed area (have to agree with TT's comments though). Did a bit of CITO.
T4TC - M@

At first the GPSr had me at the wrong end of the little bay. Eventually it put me in the right spot.

TFTC

A great place for a cache, but oh those houses. Not sure TT would want one like that though. TFTC

Lovely spot, Even in the darkness and soooo many houses! last time I was here there were none, and that wasn't too long ago.
TNLNSL TFTC

Super spot for a cache. Thanks for bringing me here. Was a beautiful afternoon so the view from the cache was outstanding. TNLNSL TFTC

Lovely little place. Admired the big house on the way down and back on the way up!
Picked up Cowardly Lion TB

5:45pm First of our night

Had this on our to-do list since it was listed and so pleased we were finally able to do it!

Sorry to hear the coin was stolen (had old printout of listing so only discovered there had been a problem when we got home! )

Light was still enough to see your way without a torch, but I would advise one, after slipping on the mud at GZ; pulled almost every muscle in my body trying to prevent myself landing *** over *** [B)] [:o)]

... But anyway... the view would have been worth it! a really nice little hideaway, will have to come back during the day.

Nice easy find once we relied on Kathy's GPS (mine is useless under any tree cover) Perfect little hide - Thanks.

Andy & Kathy ,

Cache has been muggled on or before Friday 13th. Recovered some of the trades and re-hid cache but the Gecoin has gone sorry.

Nice houses, no body home though. Quick find.

In: NZ Geocoin.

Out: Mr Happy

Thanks for the cache.

There sure is some real big money being spent on the real estate around here.
Nice sheltered spot to catch the late afternoon sun while filling out the log.
Many thanks

Nice and quick found on sunday morning with my son KiwiEric.

Thanks Greenblat.

Was here when I got a new cache notifaction.

Was a rather nice spot in a area that I have never visited, a rather cool hide too, I must add.

Thanks Greenblat!

A nice find. The gps was going everywhere. Needed the clue to help find this one.
Thank you

FTF! Hooray!

Thought I'd go and have a quick look this morning, and was surprised to find that I was the first. Got soaking wet, though - while I was down there it started bucketing it down!

Nice cache - handy hiding place! Some good treasure in there too.

TFTC!
