I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

I need to disable this until I have time to check, repair or replace. In the meantime if anybody else is keen to take over ownership of the GC I'm happy to transfer it to you. Kache Cat and Kache Rat have other interests now-a-days. Smile

29-Aug-18
I couldn’t find. A lot of mud (after rain), large bushes.
 
18-Aug-18
Find was a bit easier than I assume it should have been as cache was left on ground signed log and tucked into a nicer spot CO might want to return cache to where it's meant to bd

Took the two boys who both saw it at once and proceeded to fight who got to open it. Luckily no muggles about! Tftc

Parked up on Mt Pleasant Rd. Got out of my car and there was a rather unpleasant looking dog not too far where I parked, so I crossed the road to avoid any possible confabulation. Wandered into the park in jandals wondering why the heck I didn’t put on my gumboots. Got to GZ and the find was an easy one, no moans from me about that and I replaced the log paper. Then I had to make my way back to my car so I wandered along the road and was wondering where the heck is my car!!! The damn dog put me off my bearings, I soon realised that I had walked past it about 100m… what a twat I am!
 
20-May-18
Put in new log paper

I had never seen this park before. Also as I am currently trying to maintain a daily caching streak and today I needed to get one within the confines of a work lunch hour. So after reading the logs on this cache, it seemed that it might be a quick find... and so that is how I came to be looking for this particular cache. I am really glad that I looked at the logs before coming here as one of them indicated the type of footwear that would be best for this situation... and so I came prepared! As I walked through the park there were a number of muggles initially hanging around... and so while I headed to GZ I took a few photos along the way to hopefully give them the impression that I wasn't some kind of weirdo hanging around a kid's park in the middle of the day. I will share some of these photos with this log. It is worth noting here that by the time I was close to GZ, the muggles had basically all walked off. So once I was at GZ, it was a nice straightforward find which helped me out a lot as I have a very busy day. So I signed the log and put the cache back in its spot. So thank you BushNavigator for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. It also took me a while to get the significance of the name of the cache... a bit slow I know... but at least I got it in the end... TFTC! FYI - Today is day 391 in a row Smile

Surprising location. Thanks for the cache.

We visited this park yesterday intending to search for the cache but it was pouring with rain and the ground near GZ was very boggy. Normally we wouldn't let that stop us but we were on our way to lunch and didn't have a change of shoes so decided it was best to try another time.
Another time came sooner than expected as today the weather was much nicer making a return visit impossible to resist, this time with some spare shoes.
A mother and daughter were in the playground but fortunately they were enjoying themselves so much they weren't paying attention to what was going on elsewhere in the park.
It was soon apparent that our decision to leave it yesterday was a wise one as the ground was indeed very damp and muddy and the journey to GZ was a slow one but once there the cache was found quickly after a brief search. The contents were a bit damp but still in good condition and it was nice to find a larger sized container.
Thanks Bush Navigator, Kache Kat and Kache Rat for a great hide and for bringing us to this lovely park hidden away down a street we would never have come down had it not been for geocaching.
We spent some time walking around and enjoying the peace and quiet. TFTC.

Bring your bug spray, there are mozzies about. Easy to spy once you've got your bearings.
 
25-Apr-17
Saw all the other notifications about needing a new log book so I have left a log sheet in the cache today when I logged my find. Very nice little park but I think the Auckland City Council has crossed this one off their mowing list Twisted longish wet grass . . . . . picked up a travel bug to move along . . . . . TFTC Smile

My caching and walking round through Auckland continued and brought me here to this nice park. My instinct told me, where to look and so quickly i was able to get my hands on this one and sign it's log.
Thanks for bringing me here, hiding the cache and keeping it alive and well

***No muggles were harmed while searching, finding and logging this cache...***

Having almost lost my phone at the previous cache when it fell out of my pocket into a pile of leaves, it seems that I did lose my pen as I arrived at this cache with no way to sign the log so have taken a photo to prove I was here!

I highly recommend doing this cache when the weather has been dry for a couple of days. That, or wear gumboots! The picture doesn't do justice to how wet or muddy my feet are but I was determined! Thank you for the hide

Nice spot Smile

A relatively quick and easy find at the edge of a very pretty suburban park. I play bowls down the road and never knew this park was here, so it was nice to come and have a look around. There were a few muggles around but the weather started to close in and they left which made for a good grab for me. Good size and a bit light on trinkets so stocked it up and headed on my way. No pen so take your own writing stick. The TBs are long gone I suspect so don't go looking for those. TFTC.
 
17-Apr-16
Fond it

This was my first cache Smile

Was doing a bit of caching in this area today, as it is one I don't often get too, so I thought I may as well make the most of the opportunity after dropping junior NewlynFam off nearby.
Headed into the reserve, noting that there were a few mini muggles playing and hoping I wouldn't look too suspicious. Luckily, the phone took me away from where they were playing, and I read the hint and headed for where I thought it would be hidden. A quick search turned up nothing though, so I headed to the spot a few paces away that I had seen on approach, and had thought would be a good hiding place. Should have listened to my geo-senses, as there it was! It was a bit exposed, so I hid it under something lying around at GZ so it can't be seen by a casual observer.
The TBs listed in the inventory were not present, unfortunately. I dropped off a dog TB to carry on it's journey.... PLEASE only remove it from the cache if you intend to log it and carry it on properly.... I have had a few TBs go missing lately and am worried that I am going to be blacklisted!!!

Thanks for the hide.
