Muggled again. Thanks for coming.
Time to make room for new ones.

Checked the cache out, but couldn't find it myself.
Looks like it's missing again.
Will reconsidder the hide or maybe re-locate it.

Visited here with NODO. On his previous visit he couldn't get access because of a couple being romantically and energetically entwined right at GZ. This time there was nobody around, and he had help so it would be easy! However, we searched for about 30 minutes with no success - unless you count litter, bottles and a $20 note!!!!! Gave up in the end and went off to buy lunch with the proceeds! We will return one day.

Got out our poking stick, spent about 1/2 searching came up with nothing but rubbish

Found the little blighter! The recent bad weather has kept this off my "to-do" list until now, very satisfying find. TFTC!

this was the 3rd attempt at trying for this cache! last 2 weekends have been full of muggles enjoying the good weather. that tree is such a kid magnet! but today the beach was deserted and was pleased with a quick find due to great clues. lovely area -stopped a while to watch some fab sea birds! bobble in, NT. TFTC

Very interesting area to visit. Thanks for bringing me here & for the cache.

Found just after dark. Quick search and cache located. SL TFTC

Thanks for the cache. A lot of empty bottles and broken glass in the area.

So pleased to get this one...nearly about to give up, gps doing funny things, but kept coming back to the clues and finally got there.
TFTC

Finally! Had to wait for some "cuddlers" to move but eventually got it... as were perplexed at first. Keep looking! . Yahoo! Took travel bug that may have been there a while. TFTC

Pickle, Brobat & Frekl found Frekl's 1st cache. Took TB "Ellen's Bug" & left Austria to Australia TB. A lovely beach, lots of Cockle Shells!! TFTC.

Nice spot tnx I have no idea where the clue fits in though its not where I thought the clue said. just not far from it though. We had a day out with the grand kids.

Nice beach Geocache. Thanks George

IN TB, Out TB

I found it with cheeroke.alca during big cache hunting....Thanks. OUT-TB

Had to go back on this one as a wedding party were taking photos for too long. nice spot on Mon morning on way out of town.

first off - nice cache! its in a beautiful spot! also, dont forget to take jandals or something, cuz the ground has pieces of broken glass around it. Also, even after completing my search, i still dont understand how the clue helps.... but T4TC, I will be returning. I found that it was probably actually quicker for me to walk the beach way than to drive from my house!

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 925. Thanks.

nice easy find. TFTC

pretty good hide, not to hard. pretty disappointed nothing was in it, might go back and put something in it, for someone . the pohutukawa tree is real cool and mean as to climb!

Nice beach, quick find....TFTC

Quite a few people on the beach today but fairly quiet near GZ. Quickly spotted the hide and retrieved the cache. A nice location to visit. Thanks.

# 948

Nice quick find now that container has been replaced. Beach was muggle township today. Hundreds of people around when we pulled up. Started raining so cleared the beach and GZ. TFTC

** Coordinates Changed From **
S 36° 54.094 E 174° 57.210
Distance From Old: 13 feet
Replaced container (again !) and minor update of the coords (with Oregon300)

Had a look "under" by the second one in the most obvious place but no sign of the cache. GPS said we were in the right spot. Is this one still there? Thanks anyway.

Will check it out.

Found it easy enough as it was on the ground and while not in plain site, it wasn't hidden in any way. I think the recent weather moved it...maybe? Anyway I put it back where I thought it should go??!!

Quick & easy find, not far from some old stomping grounds.

Cache is safe & dry.

took the long route in.
took a few mins too.
Nice area

A beautiful spot on one of our favourite beaches. T4TC

What a neat beach but would be much nicer in summer than it was today. Quick find and back to the warm car T4TC.

#731 (5/6 on an East AKL afternoon). Found with brother Spud and three junior Spuds. Interesting spot for the kids to play, Jack spotted it in the end. TFTC.

Cool. Left Pokemon Card for another to find.

Removed old container and placed a new one. A bit smaller, 400 ml and camo painted.

Will have to check this one out

Totally muggled.

Found base but not the lid. Muggle info and ziplock is all that remains.

Found the container with black tape. Lid is gone and contents are missing except the ziplock with muggle info.
Without being able to find the lid. I did not add another log book and pen.

Busy day at the beach with a bunch of kids on a slip and slide.

Out after work taken in some of the sights and sounds and ovcourse just a little caching is always involved TFTF.

Had to hurry and sign the logbook as there were muggles that had just gone around the point and another lot were leaving the carpark. Succeeded in the mission.

This beach certainly fills up with muggles from about mid-morning. If you want a good spot for the day you have to be here about 10 am.

Cheers for the cache.

Found with wife and father inlaw. TNLN
Watch out for bags of dogpoo inconsiderate people have stashed around here!

Found on a lovely afternoon while holidaying from Perth WA. My son loved the small concrete ramp, almost fell in. Many thanks, a beautiful area.

Was a nice quick find after the muggles had walked past. Nice beach. Cheers Gav [2790]

Great beach and a nice spot. Quick find at GZ. TFTC

Found at 1200. Had to wait for a mother and 2 kids to leave before making the find. Interesting war history, glad to see it saw no action.

Picked up Dolphin TB to move on.

A few people around.So I had to time the retrieve & replacement between them.The restaurant was very good many years ago.

Cheers KiwiLeon

Real nice place to come to, just working on the headland North of the beach, could almost see the cache from work!
Great day to visit, thanks,
TNSLLNTFTCACHE!!

A lovely calm spot on a nice sunny day. Some impressive old trees around here. Enjoyed the visit.
TFTC!

Start of our day with KiwiLeon (in the virtual sense anyway ) - 1st of 6 KiwiLeon finds today (had to skip two along the way due to high muggle population at the time, so will be back! )

Number 1 (3:15pm)

A familiar location for us Great day... great location... Great hide... perfect start to the day

Wow! This cache had us going for a while as we didn't see it tucked away in its hidey hole. Finally when we rechecked it was discovered.
Lovely place, our 6 year old enjoyed playing on the tree.

Excellent place for a cache and enjoyed reading the cache description. The tide was out but still a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the winter sunshine while waiting for some dog walking muggles to go by.
Many thanks

Out caching today with the indomitable Kiwigary, He made the find, but we had to wait for muggles to depart before retrieving cache and signing the log. Nice views with the tide in. An interesting historical spot, thanks for bringing us here.

15:56 Stunning spot loved the bit of history. TNLN. Thanks for cache.
Took: nothing
Left: LilSam TB

Logged in coca cola bear TB, but he wouldn't fit in the cache.

Today, we were on our way together with tofska on an East-Auckland-Caches-Powertour.
A heavy downpour caught us when we had parked, so because of that (and another reason) we fled into the public toilets and waited until the waterflow subsided. Then we went towards GZ, where two muggle pairs also had sought shelter. Luckily, GZ was out of their view, so we simply grabbed, logged and re-hid the cache without being seen.
Back at the car, we witnessed a newly-wed couple taking wedding photos on the bench. Interesting setting with the grey clouds.

TNLNSL, TFTC

Nice and quick and got to learn a bit of history too.

TFTC

Muggles all around GZ still sheltering from a recent heavy downpour of rain. We managed to dodge them though.
Full tide can be deceiving at this beach!
T4TC - M@

Out for a walk after the rain had, sort of, cleared up.

Local beach for us, so a quick find.

Teamed up with St Ouens for a few caches. Lovely beach, and a great hide. Now thats an interesting piece of history. TFTC

#960. Found with Tramper Ted. Icy blast mid afternoon. As I was waiting for the old e-trex to home in ...19m, 17m ...TT was down to 3metres and cache was soon in hand. Ah well.... dreams of a 60CSx. TFTC.

Nice beach, saw my niece's car parked up the road. Wonder what she's doing here?
Anyway quick find once muggles passed.
Added TB and took one.
-Dinosaur and Top
+Magnet and soldiers.

A straight forward find in a great area (except for the Doggy Doo). Very close to home so we have been here often in the past.

Out - nil

Wow cool tree. My kids had played on this one before but I never saw the plaque. Dopped off Diabetes TC. T4TC Léon.

A nice simple find.
Thank you

Yep, was having a feed about to head home when "beep beep", checked it out, yep, Ill give that a go

Cruised up, came down the long way, a few muggles about, but they didnt worry me, grabbed the Train TB, a rather pleasant spot, wish I could of stayed longer, but I had another 2 FTF's to head too!

Cheers Kiwileon!

Found at 3.55pm!

Placed TB Duncan, that he may visit as many trains as posible
