We had a nice stroll after noodle for dinner and there were not many muggle around. Had to recalibrate the compass to get this one. Before hand we were on the wrong side of the road.
Was way off at 1st but photo helped me see what was wrong.
SL L Best of British geocoin for this urban cache. Needs new log sheet.

Nice central city find
Love the magnetic touch
Just sit down and do your business as people pass by
Found by Anna & Chris from Palmerston North

I found what I thought was the place to rest your feet, but had no idea what I was looking for or meant to do. Checked the next place to rest your feet too - so obviously I wasn't in the right place.
hmmm

A very quick find late in the evening with almost nobody around. Cache was on the ground, I replaced it where it should have been. Signed log, TFTC.
I think it was harder to find a place to fill in the log then to find the cache. TFTC
Found quite easily once was on right end. The pencil might want to get replaced soon as is getting very short. TFTC
Managed to do this one at a lunch time after dropping the CacheMobile off across the road to Mama. Had to wait while a couple of muggles finished lunch a few feet away, then dropped the pen, retrieved the cache and signed log, followed by a shoelace to replace. Thanks for the cache!!
what a special cache on a very special day, our first son was born just a few hours before we had this cache in our hands, thanks to our caching buddies. TFTC
This was a special cache for us. Our newest addition to geocaching was proudly photographed with this cache, only a couple of hours old. Couldnt believe there was this cache outside the door. lol. TFTC.
Great, quick urban micro. Not too many people around at 7am. As others have commented, this cache is easier to find with your hands, than eyes. Great hide! TFTC.
Took a while. Finally found the cache (?) - see attached photo but didn't have opener. . Cruel trick. Found the logbook nearby and signed.
Conveniently located to grab between hospital visiting!! GPS not too much use, but common sense lead PB to the right spot quite quickly, while Annie hovered in a 5 minute park! TNLN TFTC
TFTC! Finally found the cache site free of muggles. Had had a few tries at this one before but always a busy site.
TFTC SL the gps had me about 7 to 8 meters of but it was on the end good hide easy find, Got muggled by my cousin so funny
He he he - my first time!!!! Late night find with a workmate - awesome feeling when your fingers slip onto something not quite right......
Great fun without GPS
TFTC! [:-D]

Why did my GPS have me out on the road? Had to find quick while Old Boots drove round the block as no car parks. TFTC
Our next stop on the big Sightseeing-Cache-Hunting-Trip in Dunedin was easy as well.

On my second search for the cache, I found it. I can't believe we missed it the first time! TFTC!
Great cache location, just outside my work's door. Had to come back a second time to get this one as far too many muggles lerking around during business hours. Got it this morning before work. TFTC.
Visiting charming Dunedin for the Master's Games and doing a few caches around the Motel. A gentle after dinner stroll in the twilight, a quick muggle-free find and back home for supper. Hard to beat!

Found this on an early evening stroll about city. Easy find, not too many muggles about. TFTC.
Got it second time due to too much muggle traffic and strange looks the first visit. Sunday morning had no muggles around.

Done the old fashioned way complete with a print out of the cache listing.
Nice quick find and very quiet here on a Saturday thankfully.

Horrible day in Dunedin today.
Not a soul about near GZ, so easy to find and log...

A quick stop on the way to the supermarket.
I couldn't find the cache last time I was in Dunedin.
Found it ok this time with a little help from W.E.K.A.
Thanks.

Early on a Sunday morning made this cache an easy one to get to with not much muggle traffic to dodge. Nice one. Thanks WallaceDuo for the cache.
I do not count my attempts here. To many muggles in each weather and every time. Finally today it was free for seeking:) TFTC
A quick find after some lateral thinking. Luckily it was quiet and wet so not many muggles to contend with. TFTC
Found the cache on the second attempt, daylight certainly helped! A few muggles about but fortunately had followed Eli the Mooses lead and took the pram to hide my activity! TFTC.
Found by process of elemination. signed the fresh log book. Did this with Badgermushroom. TFTC
A Team effort - adults trying to look nonchalant while kids scramble around oblivious to muggles - luckily no one pays any attention to kids to what kids do best!
This one was not too hard to find - thankfully, as there were muggles galore around. Signed log paper, but the logsheet urgently needs replacing. Rumour has it that one needs to watch for falling cranes at this intersection!!
Thanks and cheers from Grandalf(1615)

Signed log easily and replaced
Not sure on how this could be found with google maps??

After trying several times when the area was too busy and having embarrased my family (who were no help) I returmed today and found and logged it.
Thanks

Virtually spotted the container on google high res imagery, walked to the spot without GPS and used stroller to hide any suspicios activity associated with retrieval TFTC
Had to sit for a looooooong time to get this one. Once I finally narrowed down GZ it was then a case of extraction. Lots of walking muggles and 3 sitting muggles near me so I use the tie-the-shoelace act and it worked!!! Nice hide. TFTC
Quiet tonight. Managed a sly extraction then raced back to my boyfriend waiting in the car. This spot would get very busy at times!
Tried during the day but it was muggle mayhem so came back at night and much quieter. Quick find, TFTC
Found by McAdies on our holiday around the South Island.
Nice easy find, Thanks! Avoiding the muggles took a while!

Finally found this one after 3 visits. Not sure why it took so long to put my hand in the right place. Having loads of muggles around each time didn't help. tftc - pleased to have it off the list.
...boy, do I feel sheepish.
Can't believe I missed this one...got it this time! Everyone was busy partying at the Mint Chicks concert, so I decided to duck out for a little bit of caching.

Have tried this one multiple times. Even got hints from someone who has found it before, to no avail.
Sunday afternoon is a good time for retrieving this cache as there are not too many Muggles about.
GPSr took us to the middle of the road! However, found the cache quite quickly. This was our 100th find and we were only 11882 miles from our home co-ordinates! Are we geocachers taking things a bit too far?!!! TFTC
Finally, after passing almost daily- muggle free . Usually at night there is so much student behaviour going on in this area - with this as a popular site for sitting down and having a bit of a party.I cleaned out the hedge, and found lots of evidence, bottles, shots glasses, and even a tumbler. But the cache was a quickie
A quick find once we hit ground zero...actually I was contemplating how to find it without drawing attention....leaned down on one arm all casually and happened to place my hand right on it! If anything, our suprise at finding it so quickly would have drawn attention.
TFTC a good urban lunchtime.

A quick find in the obvious spot - once I'd randomly picked one side of the road. It certainly wasn't obvious to the GPS! TFTC
Walking to work today and realised I was passing the spot. Quick check at the most likely spot came up trumps (good thing I had shoe laces to do up!). TFTC.

Dial up speeds keep us strictly traditional, and nothing else needed with local knowledge. Admired the container.
#508 (2/3 CHC->DUD). A surpsing number of muggles just on dark on a Sunday night. GPS some way off (wrong side of road), but got there in the end. TFTC.
