Not caching anymore, so closing down caches as they become lost.
 
27-Feb-16
Still couldn't find it on our 2nd attempt (tried last night in the dark and the rain). Would have been helpful if the description was updated
 
27-Feb-16
Can someone confirm this cache?
 
20-Feb-16

This cache was one of the many caches we found on our 6 day campervan journey from Tauranga to Lower Hutt via Waihi, Cambridge, New Plymouth and along the west coast to Wanganui and back to the Hutt. A mighty and enjoyable journey which took us to many great and iconic parts of the north island and of course some great geocaches. Many thanks to the many CO's for the great cache placements and for bringing us to so many new places. Sorry about the generic log but 200 plus to log. TFTC
 
23-Jan-16
This one took us a while, but eventually perseverance paid off. Clue may need updating?? TFTC
 
23-Jan-16

04-Jan-16
Riley on a role today! 2 from 2. Well hidden, container is more medium size than small though.
 
16-Dec-15
Didn't have too long to look as I needed to refuel the car before dropping it off back at the airport. As other logs have mentioned the hint item is gone, I also had trouble with my phone GPS bouncing around and there were soooo many places it could have been hidden. Shame to end my trip to the Naki on a DNF, but the last two days have been fun. Thanks.
 
10-Dec-15
Found on 2nd attempt with Matt008. Still byo pen.
 
03-Dec-15

07-Nov-15
Park bench gone and tree cut down had no luck with this one
 
07-Nov-15
five meters further up the bank and bingo
 
04-Nov-15
Well this one has been on the radar for 2 years, I must have looked about 4 times and driven past dozens of times. Today felt like a good day to find and having dropped someone off at the airport, I pulled up near GZ and read some of the previous logs to get an idea of where I should look. GZ has changed a bit, no table for a start, but taking account of previous logs I started my search and was soon surprised to find the cache safe and sound. All good and signed log. NTNL This one is a wrap. Mission accomplished TFTC! Smile Blenheim Bear

23-Apr-15
On a six day sortie though the lower North Island with the primary reason being to pick up the CANZ caches we need to complete the North Island half of the challenge.

On our way home caching all the way. Stopped for this one but in the end we decided to DNF. It was not a very nice place to be, lots of rubbish and some suspicious smells. Although we had a pretty good search there were places we did not want to put our hands so we gave it a miss.

Think this one needs to be checked.
 
12-Apr-15
didn't find it. there is so much rubbish there that you don't know where to start looking. a better clue would be helpful
 
08-Apr-15

found this one today Smile you will need to bring own pen as the one in geocache has run out ink. i would have replaced but didn't have a spare
 
09-Feb-15
My second attempt at getting this one. I think they are doing some tree work at the GZ because a lot of trees had been cut down and a lot of debris might be tricky to find in coming weeks TFTC

04-Apr-14
This was the second time we have looked for this cache. And thankfully this time we found it!! Great hiding spot! TFTC!
 
25-Mar-14
Finally! No other cache has given me this much grief! What with close proximity to heavy traffic, muggles, and the suspicious looks as they think you've gone bush for an out-of-body experience! What a difference the slanting intense light of late afternoon can make to a search. Of course it was obvious, but previously I couldn't find it. Left a stylus pen for someone's smart phone or tablet. TFT grief & TC
 
21-Mar-14
This one's just down the road from work. I've been here four times over last two weeks and can't find it. GPS all over the place, and can't get it from hint and logs! Very frustrating.
 
04-Mar-14
First cache in my home town. Came down for a visit and decided to try and do some since I didnt know it existed when I lived here. First cache that our son has got to enjoy. We sat down for a good 10 minutes and let him play with the items left in it. Great fun. TFTC
