Stoke's Valley Bush Walk (Wellington) Stokes Valley, North Island, New Zealand
By Yeetrees on 28-Feb-09. Waypoint GC1N4C1

Hi Yeetrees.

This one appears to have been muggled.

We walk the area often, and the cache is not where it used to be. Sam always checks it as she wanders around the area. Has found it in various places near by in the past, but always put it back where it belongs. Some new kids are living in the area nearby, and often play up that track.

Letting you know.


Cheers

Sam & Blair

Time to put this one to rest

Great cache - lovely walk

Easily found. What an odd collection of materials. TFTC.

'Tis the season to be jolly, and 'tis the season to be caching
And a jolly good cache this one was....
What are these pipes doing up here?
Cache find was reasonably straightforward, all in order, signed logged and returned as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Nice short walk to this cache. First of 9 found today, missioning with themightykumera! TFTC

nice nature walk, great way to start of a geocaching day mission,

Left travel bug

Nice walk in the early morning before the heat of yet another fabulous wellington day

Yay! Found it! Amazing, since I walk this track almost daily, can't believe I never even noticed it before! Well done great place. Swapped a monster for a dinosaur (o= TFTC!

i looked in all four of the things in the hint no sign of it any where, all i found was a lot of broken glass :{

slippery sliding walk... lots of fun...had visit from two dogs....took paperclip...left feather. TFTC

A nice little walkway. Not too slippery or muddy in spite of the rain recently. Enjoyed the glimpes of the view on the way back down.

1533 Quick find after a quick run in, Miss Geckoh too chicken to retrieve cache so big brave Mr Geckoh had to do it. TFTC

This was a nice walk with a good clue. The only thing that put a bit of a dampner on the find was the giant dog barking in a property alongside the track. At one point we thought it was following us, but it was a trick of the imagination of two people who are scared of dogs. It seemed unable to get on the track at least. Took TB, left bulldog (ironic) clip with rubber bands around the top.

Very nice walkway through the bush. Thanks again Yeetrees for bringing me to another nice, relatively unexplored area. Was heavy, continuous rain - not ideal conditions for this walkway and it was very slippery, especially the "shiny" clay areas. However that added to the fun - after all other than people like us (geocachers) who else would come to this area today! Nice easy find with the hint. Listed TB is there, I didn't exchange it as I have already had this one. SL TFTC

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 139. Nice walk and easy enough cache. Thanks.

Good weather today, nice to get out for a walk. Easy enough to locate. TNLNSL TFTC

Just found the cach. GPS error caused me little more time to find as it indicate the wrong side of the track. A nice walk out here. TNLNSL TFTC.

First find for Family, really nice walk and fun find for kids. Kids were sooo excited

Slippery when wet. Enjoyed the bush walk.

nice little walk ..dog loved it..but a bit slippery under foot even on a great sunny day..loved the clue...

Nice bush walk, easy find

A lovely little corner of Stokes Valley. Thoroughly enjoyed the short stroll with the peace and quiet only broken by the regular bird-song. Track a bit greasy bit no need to hurry, just enjoy.

A quick find by emvy-us jnr on a nice sunny afternoon. Picked up GC. TFTC

Found it thanks to the clue... my GPS had a poor fix and was pointing 300m away from GZ! Path very slippy, had to grab a few branches to stay upright at times. Left Kingfisher geocoin... will Huhuhgrub swap it for a pebble ?

A short walk into the bush, followed by a quick find.
A nice track, although a bit muddy and slippery today.
Thanks.

#562. On the track were traces of snow from the southerly blast. The Tnbuffalo & Kumquat Topo Boots Geocoin was not in the cache. Going by its log, it has never been placed here. Umm[?]
+ Huakiwi GC (going to England)
+ huhugrub pebble

Quick find on a spur-of-the-moment diversion up Stokes Valley whilst driving back to Wellington. Haven't been up this way for several decades, it has changed a lot. Pleasant area at the top of the valley and good to see a walkway here. Signed log, TFTC!

Nice little walk .

Good short cahing opportunity for me and the boys to fill in a half an hour. Would have been handy to have a start point as we werent sure which one of the Roads at the back of Stokes Valley it started from (Stokes Valley Rd, Kamahi St or Rakau Gr) but it was easy enough to spot it after a short drive around. TFTC.

Popped up here with 2 of the younger B0rgs as the bush walk sounded like their difficulty level, so too the cache placement - My 7 year old daughter found it quickly and all concerned enjoyed the adventure. Thx for bringing us out here Yeetrees! TNLN, SL...

Another neat walkway I didn't know about. I left a Happy Birthday Badge and took the Canadian Cache Geocoin that I plan to move to a cache along the Kapiti Coast. TFTC.

Nice walk in and a nice easy find 0805 hrs. TNLN SL TFTC

I was on business in the area, so popped in here for a quick find. I really must do a bit of research on the Hutt Valley walking tracks. There are some beauties around that I have never heard of. This one looks like it might be an old logging track, like so many others.

Thanks for bringing me here.

Yes! another FTF. Did not know this track was there. I must come back to explore some more. It started to rain heavily at GZ but the shelter of the bush helped. Nice wee hide. TFTC
