X Sierra November Echo 1? (Auckland) Takapuna, North Island, New Zealand
By G-2 on 08-Aug-09. Waypoint GC1MFAB

had its day, game set and love

Teamed up with slieschke to head north and get some very late night caching done before the flashing flash mob but had not luck finding this one. Instead we were found by FMZ....

Nope, no luck finding this with alpenmilch80 before the August festivities were due to kick off. Decoded half the title, and embarrassingly found out from the CO later in the evening the rest of what I failed to decode! ><

Shouldn't find it sorry

Searched and searched, but couldn't find it. GPSr not zeroing didn't help.

Was there for a while looking but couldnt find.

Aced it with a bit of searching. Tftc

Great hiding place. Found straight away thx to hint. Couldnt find any signatures from tennis greats here, too bad, they must have worn off!
TFTC

Seems ok

still don't understand the title or hint! Did I miss something? Haha tftc cool camo

Edit: OHHHH thanks!! Hahaha that is a cool title

Walked past here and stopped for a quick find...balls, couldn't find it after several minutes of looking. Finished my walk so stopped again on my return. Followed my GPSr around in a circle and spotted the hide this time. Cheers for the cache placement!

Ace. Tftc

The title didn't give much sense.. ,the hint gave a little bit meaning when the little bugger first was found.. but it did take a little while and careful searching and scrutiny... Even when I finally managed to find it, I was a little reluctant to pick it up. Good and simple camo

Found at 23:15 - #4296 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

TFTC

Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.

TFTC!

Took some time to locate this, but finally renelm spottet it.

Logged as RAD together with renelm and aedk.

TFTC. Out and about with karma reprint on a caching warmup day prior to the MEGA. It all made perfect
sense when the cache was in hand!
Thanks glyn(the only one) for placing the cache.

First day in Auckland for the MEGA with PurdiePurdie. Took a little while but successful in the end. Thanks for the hide.

Nearing on darkness now and our second attempt to find our cache for the day. Searched a while but due to the tree cover and high winds the GPS was ALL OVER the place. Decided to come back in light and less wind

Day 2 of a weekend cache hunt with Geco72, focusing on Takapuna and surrounds. This one took us a while but persistence paid off in the end. Quiet please. Play. TFTC.

The GPS was jumping around and there was a lot of leaf litter to hide things...but eventually found the object we were looking for...very clever. TFTC

Only had the phone so not that accurate however the wife came up with this one while waiting for a local shop owner to open. Were not expecting to cache and haven't for sometime however this was too good to turn down.

It actually got us thinking that we need to get out more often
T4TC

Out and about today for a day of geocaching adventure in Takapuna with KiwifruitsNZ.

Clever camo! A quick find at GZ, breaking our streak of the last two caches attempted being DNFs. TFTC!

A cache find during yet another fun-filled KiwiFruitsNZ/Vamber adventure!

Loved this one. Took a bit of work to find the entry to GZ but this was our problem!

Loved the title of the cache.

Thought this one was going to get the better of us but we found the cheeky little guy! TFTC.

Searched for a while but did not find. Quite a few muggles. Will maybe try again in the future.

Man, it was a toughie, but we got there. Good camo, but with Glyn you never know what to look for! Thanks for great satisfaction after cursing your name for some time! ??

Muahahaha! So great to find this one after a lot of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Love the clever cammo. thanx glyn

Grrrr..i couldnt find it either!!!

Feel like giving you clever people a 'serve' boom boom. Couldn't find it after trying very hard. Mmmm...

Second time there, and made the find. Cool cache. Luckily the log was dry so we were able to sign it. TFTC

Took a little while to find, but I knew what we were looking for based on the description and the previous logs. Nice hide well tucked away Found a spot on the log where to sign. TFTC . Could you enlighten me on the title of the cache? I can't make sense of it... Cheers

Very cool spot, nice little hide,

Open bag paper wet couldn't write name

Log needs replacing as does the plastic bag. Log totally soaked and unusable. Needs attention.

Found it after a while, gps signal was trying to get me onto the tennis court. Log needs replacing as it is totally soaked the plastic bag is torn allowing water in. Because I couldn't sign the log I signed something else.

interesting container, took sometime moving leaf litter before discovery

great find , unnofortunetly my pen ran out so i couldnt write in the log book

Aced it, thanks for serving up this one Glyn.

Found after a fair bit of searching. Nice camo. TFTC.

Very very good cammo! Took two attempts but found it in the end!

Good camo for the zone. A nice walk through nature on a fine day to find some cooling shade from the sun.

Brought a friend here and hopefully have gotten her into geocaching too!

Good camo - nice hide thanks.

Quick find, gets a fav tick. TFTC.

Walked a country mile to get to the cache! Terrific camo Glyn. TFTC

Found after a bit of a detour, sneaky hide. TFTC

Found by youngest. Nice camo.

Left a travel bug that wants to travel to islands please....it's taken a while to get here from the UK expect it's owner thought it had got lost!!

Found with Biggles while caching in the area. I had a cache called "Overhead Smash" so a smashing good cache was the first pun that came to mind. We lobbed it back into its hiding spot after leaving our autographs. Very busy nearby. TFTC

Found on day 2 of a 3 day Auckland cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. A more relaxing day all round in which we ONLY found 68 caches. There was an XS of 10S across the fence all right but that wasn't stopping us. Walked a little way past GZ, looked over my shoulder and spotted the cache. Nice one. TFTC, Biggles.

Found with Team Y-Cacho's during our Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission

TFTC

One of 262 finds with Team Y-Cacho's during our 24 hour Auckland cache raid epic.

OmaGosh, over and out...

One of 262 found on Team Y-Cacho's 24 hour Auckland cache raid.

This one gets a favorite just for the title! One of 262 finds on 24 hour Auckland cache raid by Team Y-Cacho's. TFTC

Parked by your cache while driving the Team Y-Cacho's Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission

Many thanks for your cache, plan to be back soon with Butterfly_Lady

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.
Coordinates were a bit out for us and we were within a whisker of giving up when the find was made
Many thanks

Spent the day at a rowing regatta so thought I might sneak away for a cache. Looked around in the most obviuos spots and once I found GZ i could instantly see another of Glyn's great camo jobs. TFTC

Google mapped it to be an approximate location. Apparently I was looking in the wrong place, (OBVIOUSLY), anyways, took a friend who's pretty new to geocaching and she enjoyed it. TFTC!

Nice cammo glyn...smooth....really smooth.

The log is now completely full

Checked under many leaves and did not find it attached to anything. Perhaps another day will bring sharper geocaching skills.

In vicinity trying to find a complicated multi final (this isn't a spoiler because we had tried many other spots and still have no idea...) - think we saw poshepocket - so this cache is OK! We tried once before with no joy but right to it this time and just what we were visuallising last time. Oh well! Liked the puns. NINO TFTC

Nice walk along the track. Easy find.... had friends who I was introducing geocaching to with me.... I think they are sold on it. Good use of cache.

Nice hide and very apt camoTFTC

Nice hide and very apt camo....TFTC

would've got it quicker, but one of our group was a little scared to touch it

easy find no muggles currr bro.

This was a tricky one but not many ppl around. Dont up set those noisy dogs. GPS was about 7m+ off

Found with the help of cousin after a lot of looking. TFTC

Loved this one! Having made our 200th find just around the corner I had noted this one down as a backup in case we DNF'd on any of the others but we decided to have a go at it in the failing light. The cache page says not to make a racket but we set the neighbors dog off and he was making enough racket to wake the dead as our GPS pointed us all over the place. After a couple of minutes of searching, four whippet type dogs came up the path and started giving some back to the dog in the garden. At this point we decided to retreat to the lakeside and watch the sunset which was quite lovely and when the racket had died down we headed back up to have another look. By now we could hardly see a thing but one last look in what seemed the obvious place turned up the cleverly and very appropriately cammo'd cache.

It was only as we were back in the car that we figured out the cache name.

Thanks Glyn

Nice walk and nice easy find - cool camo!

Found this one last week but forgot 2 log.
GPS was all over the show trusted my gutt came up with the goods.
Easy find.T4TC

A nice hide TFTC

3.00pm. Bought The Pud a morning coffee to see if we could elicit a little more information about this cache out of them. Later in the day, and admittedly accompanied this time by Mrs JF, we revisited the site and found quickly.

2.15pm. Didn't have Mrs JF with me today and this must have been the reason for the failure. Will need to come back with her on another occasion.

Out Kayaking the lake and pulled in to do this one.. Didn't take long to find.... Very clever. T4TC

A "ballsy" hide ... logs told me to be on the lookout for something different... found quickly TFTC

Joel is getting good at this! No longer attached though. Great camo!

Haha, good one!

Nice camo - thought this might be what we were looking for. Made a fairly quick find this time, unlike our previous attempt in November which ended in failure. Thanks.

According to log sheet not found since December - pleased to find cache in good order. SL TFTC

I didn,t think that I even had a chance to find this one with my etrex, which was sending me back and forth in the woods (by in a circle with a radius of 15 m), lost connection, ... But it turned out that this was the only cache I could find for the day (tried 2 others). TFTC from Germany!

Cheers - cool cache container

Out with helefant for the afternoon. We walked up and down and around checking this and that, trying to get some sort of clear direction from gps. Eureka, it was found. Very Clever!! SL. TFTC.

GPS put us on wrong track to start with, but by doing a bit of back tracking and 'where would I put it' thinking, had cache in hand fairly quickly. Loved it - just missing the dog slobber. TFTC

Very appropriate! Thx for the fun cache.

Once the GPS settled under the trees it pointed straight to the cache. Quick find, thanks.

Very clever camo. TFTC

A nice quick find. TFTC

Clever, location appropriate, camo
TFTC

Found after a bit of a search, GPS had me someway off to start with. Decided to resort to a grid search and bingo cache in hand in no time, While I was signing the log sheet I glanced at the GPS beside me and what do you know ‘distance to next’ 0 metres. SL1737hr TFTC
