Sorry everyone, it looks like this cache has been muggled : (

See DNF log. Cache hasn't been seen for two months and can't be located.

Got myself in a pickle looking for this; on my 1st visit I sunk into calf-deep mud, then broke three nails on a return trip. And neither time did I find the cache in question.
Using advice from a previous finder, am 99 per cent certain it's been muggled.
 
03-May-10
Found on my second try - first time I ended up ankle deep in mud. TFTC
 
02-May-10
removed some very wet "rubbish" in container. The container was very visible so re hid it better with the the 'local' material. Log book in plastic bag was more or less dry.

Thanks, glad we had someone small with us!!!
 
02-Apr-10
Busted my cherry with this one today. Yay. My eldest daughter spotted it first.
 
23-Mar-10
Found this onion without its cover. Was lying there totally exposed. Covered it up as best I could. Quite a lot of joggers going around the field. TFTC
 
06-Mar-10
Found today with my sister, with my boyfriend loafing in the sun as camoflage. Should bring him along more often. Smile Thanks for the cache.
 
17-Feb-10
Had to hunt around a little to locate it while dodging dog walking muggles. The creek seemed quite full today, which may explain why my PDA was inexorably drawn out of my top pocket towards it (splash). oops...
TFTC.
 
08-Feb-10
Quite nice park and eventually I got some knowledge about the cricket.
Found by my friends.

another nice quick find for today. NINO TFTC
 
26-Dec-09
Lots of muggles around at 6.30 in the morning, I was eventually able to get it TFTC
 
15-Dec-09
Found mid flight on checkpoint charlie multi. Cache totally exposed in rightful place. Logbook disintegrated and dead fireworks stuffed in container. Probably requires some maintenance and would advise no geocoins or tbs placed as it may not be secure. Replaced and covered with stones. TFTCSL
 
25-Nov-09
Lots of joggers around, had to be stealthy!
 
23-Nov-09
Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 76. Oh, that end. Certainly much easier to access than where I started. Thanks.
 
30-Oct-09
Out for a walk with my darling daughter and after she threw her cell phone into the water we got down to dealing with the cache. T4TC
 
25-Oct-09
Quick find thanks.

17-Oct-09
I arrived here between showers, so there was not much in the way of muggle activity to worry about.
 
10-Oct-09
A pleasant walk on a nice (but windy) day. TFTC.
 
01-Oct-09
Definitely one for the kids to get!
 
15-Sep-09
Looks like plenty of work done around the park lately - looks good. Felt a bit exposed searching for cache, but soon had it in hand. SL TNLN TFTC
 
08-Sep-09
Nevermind the onion I did get into a bit of a pickle with this one! First I went to the right side but couldn't see anything, then the other side of the right side but thought no, the wrong side didn't turn up anything so back to the wrong side of the right side which lead me to the right side and there it was in plain sight! TFTC (786)
 
22-Aug-09
Had I my snowmobile with me, I might have started at the other side first Wink. Ordered Jr B (6) into the breach, but his complaints seemed to have been based on fact, it wasn't there. As he got distracted by yet another soccer game today, I tried the other side and had the cache in hand in seconds. Lovely park - TFTC.
 
15-Aug-09
Found with Biggles while on a Wellington cache run. Got the wrong side initially but then easily spotted the cache. Thanks for placing it.
 
15-Aug-09
Find number 16 on a day caching in the capital with Kiwi Explorer. Very muggly near the cache site today with lots of sports activity. Managed to have a good search and get the cache though. TFTC, Biggles.
 
27-Jul-09
Having a nice walk with kid and family and grabbed it on the way. TFTC with warm greetings from Germany Smile

Number 7 of 11 for the day. A little scrambling before I located the container. TNLN. TFTC

Rather a hard retrieval for an older person but we perservered.
 
20-Mar-09
Cleared the spider webs away and found it Smile
 
07-Mar-09
We had picnics many times nearby while watching the game but there was no cache here then. Glad to see one here now. Good for us that no muggles were nearby when searching and rehiding. Took a while to uncover and rehide. Nice size and cache container. Now it all makes sense. Left a bookmark. SLTFTC!
 
02-Mar-09
Good fun. TFTC
 
01-Mar-09
Took a bit of waiting but then finally enough time for a quick grab. Nice spot, TFTC

[Fun unwind to locate this local cache with my 3 yr old son E after a weekend of waaay too much work. +Purple kangaroo/dinosaur toy -Blue marble, which E loves. Logbook needs a staple. Cache is pretty full!]

A little harder to get at if you're as tall as me—6' 5"!

Easy find with my Grandson all his this one lots of mugglers and had to pick the moment.
TFTC.
 
30-Dec-08
Read about the redevelopment of this fitness trail in the Walking NZ magazine, so this park was on my list to visit, but a cache was a bonus. But the great asset that it is, made it hard to find a muggle free moment to return the cache, as someone parked on the rower nearby.
 
21-Dec-08
Sent the smallest member of the Taybee Team in to extract this one. Great park to visit & the mushrooms were a bonus. TFTC
 
14-Dec-08
Was fairly exposed when I found it, so covered it up well. There were lots of muggles around, so had to practice some extreme stealth manouvers, and pulled it off! (Although my kids yelling out from above "have you found it yet?!?!" didn't help)

TFTC!

Found without a problem as the cache was clearly visible so on signing log made sure it was a little less visible. TFTC.
 
18-Nov-08
Linked this one up with check point charlie, easy find and good placement. There was a supprising amount of activity in the park for a mid week morning.

Not FTF, but first to log online... Smile
Well, the name of the cache IS pretty obvious, once you open it!
TFTC!
 
21-Oct-08
FTF, yes this was an obvious one as I am currently setting up one in a nearby location. When I saw this one published I thought that I had mucked up by leaving it too late but we will see. Cool spot but muggles central. Yes now I understand the name of the cache and it is very amply named. TFTC TNLNSL
