Round Table help to (un)Locket (Auckland) Takapuna, North Island, New Zealand
By Helefant on 29-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1M70R

Series of life events have prevented me from replacing this cache sooner, and now I can't find a suitable container so will have to archive.

It is time this cache was archived, it has been disabled too long

Cache removed for maintenance.
However Camelot is missing some equipment. Will have to see if replaced or re work the math.

Everything was full of water and the container is rusting. Needs to be cleaned up as very messy.

Out walking around Glenfield today so gathered the required info and figured the Final stage.

Approached GZ to make a quick find. However this cache is in need of some maintenance. Tons of water in every bag, the container has rusted making retrieval rather yucky. Eventually got to the log to sign it. Tipped out as much water as possible but everything is wet.

Enjoyed collecting the info and glad to get the code right!

Great first puzzle cache. Was very wet however so may need new waterproofing. TFTC Found with Darren

Great concept and as listed in the cache page under an hour to do (if you don't have kids)
Thanks for the hunt and the pleasure of unlocking this one

We'd been here before having done the groundwork last year sometime and decided to bank this for a rainy day. Nice to see the clasp had been fixed as it well into the long grass last time were here, tftc

I had worked out this one a couple of days ago then before I could go and search for it the heavens opened and it continued to rain till today. So after work today I went to the appropriate park and found it. What a clever idea for a cache and nice to find a new log to write on. The unusual nature of this cache is well worthy of a favourite.

Repairs made, back in place and good to go

Will be back in a couple of days.

Solved this one a few months ago. Love the concept, explored a few more parks that I didn't know existed and was great to find the final today. Log very wet only just signable. Probably needs replacing as I doubt it will dry out. TFTC

Thoroughly enjoyed doing this cache. Took me to nice neighbourhood parks I had not seen before. The log was a bit wet but otherwise the cache was in good condition. TFTC

A very enjoyable multi... surprised that this cache doesn't have more visitors. t4tc

Wasn't sure if I should attempt this one since it almost 1.5 year since the last find.
Tried it anyway and was a quick straight forward find of a nicely set up cache.
Cache and logbook in good condition.
TFTC

Easy find - thanks

Nice idea for a cache and nice little parks so close from home but never noticed until now, will have to come back with the little one for a play on all these slides and swings. TFTC

Well we were warned in the description but taking Miss 4 and 5yr old BMNZ with us today we set off to tackle this nearby multi. It ended up taking us about 2 hours, 1 toliet stop, 1 snack stop and many slides, swings and monkey bars later but we finally found this great cache. Hadn't been to any of these parks so thanks for introducing us to them. TFTC.

Sorry for the late posting, Helefant. I discovered a page of caches in my paper logbook hadn't been logged online! This cache one of my favourites!! I love puzzles caches and wrote out the necessary prep work before before Indiana Jill, BookWormMum and I headed out for the day. Thanks for taking us around the reserves in our neighbourhood!! TFTC!

Seattle's Best did the preliminary work. BookwormMum and I did as we were told. KayaknKiwi is unwell today, so not in the search party.

Nice to explore the reserves and to find a well stocked cache. Swapped golf ball for soap.

Nice lock! A Chubb!

Cheers for the work you put in to setting this up.

did the hard part during the day, so when night came just needed to go and make the find and crack the code. really cool cache, thanks for showing us THREE parks that we had never seen before

Enjoyed this one, but a bit easier than expected.

In: Slipper Keychain
Out: Cachin Cop

All good

Fixed up and back in place. Dropped in Cachin Cop Coin.

Sorry, has taken a bit longer than first thought to get up and running agian - mainly due to illnes , but also ahd to replace the cache bag and find another suitable padlock. This noe done, will be replacing this weekend.

Anything happening here[?] It's been disabled for a couple of months now.

Have brought cache home to dry out and fix waterproof (now non-waterproof) cover.

Nice find, was a bit wet when found...TFTC

Great cache, can see it would be a fun one to do with the kids, took Mr UGTME, not so much fun lol

TFTC

Cache completely waterlogged and book going mouldy, have already talked to Helefant.

REALLY ENJOYED THIS LITTLE MULTI ON A HOT SUNDAY AVO-TFTC

1813 Thank you Helefant for a great little puzzle cache, we enjoyed our trek around the neighbourhood and claiming the prized numbers at the end. Lovely day for caching in Auckland.

Gathered the required data in the morning as I ventured forth on today's caching experience. Opened the locked cache just as the threatening rain started to fall as I made my way back to home base. TNLN T4TC.. TNLN T4TC.

No trouble with this one. I visited the other reserves and headed for the cache. Quick and easy find and the cache was nicely hidden and undisturbed. Thanks.

Chipped away at this one over several weeks. Followed through as near GZ today. Enjoyable cache, thanks.

Fun in the sun, cache was still there in tack even though children had built a small nut nearby. TNLN

After getting all the required info last week it was off to the cache to try my luck at unlocking the cache.
Whew! It worked.

In: Red dice TB.

Cheers for the cache.

Managed to do this rather quickly. Cool idea .
T4TC - M@

A very well thought out themed cache.
We enjoyed going to the aptly named reserves to locate info. Did them in the wrong order but once we discovered our mistake we got the numbers with no problems.
Loved the final and the cache opened straight away to our relief!
A most enjoyable cache, thanks.

Nice quick visit to the required parks and then off to the final. Quickly found and returned. TFTC

Thanks for the wander around these parks. No trouble with the puzzle and really enjoyed the final. TFTC

A mile stone cache, and great relief when the lock opened this time. getting a bit wet so time to hang up the GPSr for another day.

TFTC, -Geocoin, +TB

A rather enjoyable cache. Still trying to avoid our builder, who talks and talks.

Dropped in a few bugs, took a couple too.

Many thanks for the interesting cache.

TFTC

Found with Adee, it pays to get the order of thing right to solve this puzzle. Nice parks I didn't know of, thanks.

In: White Jeep Travel Bug

Out: Right Slipper TB

Returned to close this out after the safe cracker had done the deed.
Nice puzzle and links to the local area.
Thanks for the cache
Cheers TT

Great puzzle, and what a load of goodies in the cache . Everything nice and dry after the heavy rain last week but the padlock is a bit dodgy as once unlocked it's hard to reset even for two bankers who are used to combos . We took the 2006 KiwiGeocoin and left Missing Right Slipper TB for it's first adventure outside of the slipper factory where it lost it's "sole" mate . We were going to leave the Shooting Star TB but it just wouldn't fit no matter what we did [:(!], it even ruined the sealproof bag so lucky we had a spare. T4TC.

Dropped off Missing Right Slipper.

Will have to add Safe cracker to my profile. Round Table help will again (Un)Locket.

TB drop

Found the key but will need to wait till the "safe cracker" has finished.
TT

Need's more the Round Table help to (un)Locket ,so will have to visit.

Not sure what to say about this one, we found it but couldn't un locket, however our numbers have been confirmed as correct by the owner. Yugeo4 what have you done!

We'll be back when it's sorted.

Many thanks for a family friendly cache… Mini YuGeo enjoyed visiting all the playgrounds.
IN: 2006 Kiwi Geocoin
OUT: Syosuke's Japan Official Geocoin #1

Found as part of the kiwifeet team.

Enjoyed this nicely put together multi, visiting 3 playgrounds with themed names. An interesting twist with the lock.
No problems with the little muggles at WP1. But as we emerged from the bushes at final we noticed a neighbouring muggle standing, arms folded, watching from the bottom of her garden at the far end of the park (some 150m away). Maybe we're the second group of people she's seen at GZ today. With hindsight we probably should have gone and talked to her to ease her concern...
Dropped Japan Official Geocoin.

#87

Neat idea. Enjoyed doing the cache. Alas STF again!! A bit of excitement at final with police and helicopters all around. Wasn't sure if I was going to be accosted by police or suspect!! However managed to unlocket. Out: Geo Coin In: Yellow Smiley Eraser. SL. TFTC.
Also beware of small muggles (no parents around) that can pack a punch at Wpt 1 Suspect they are very possessive of their park??!!
