A quiet resting place (Wellington) Khandallah, North Island, New Zealand
By Yeetrees on 29-Mar-09. Waypoint GC1P8B6

Time to go?

Time for this one to go

Looks like the cache owner has lost interest?

No luck this morning. Only had a few minutes to look.

Maybe didn't try hard enough. We were in the right general place and had ideas about what the hint would mean, but couldn't find the hint or the cache. There's been lots of clearing around here in the last year or so, wonder if something significant has gone missing.

Didn't find it. However I did find a little pencil on the track. Could the owner check that it is ok?

The clue had us ....... for a while, but while enjoying the quiet resting place, I had an epiphany. Unfortunately, the obvious hint object did not reveal a cache, though I did find a little crevice in it which would have hidden a pill container.

Seems a bit tricky to find - council appears to have dumped some gorse roughly where the spot should be. Will have to come back another day - good excuse for a big walk !

Finally found it in one of the first places that I looked but only after looking there several times and confirmation from a PAF as to its location (was buried quite deeply). It is great to see the effort that the council has put in on this walkway including a nice new set of steps up to the seat. TFTC

Quick walk up to the cache today. Managed to find the cache quite quickly, there's not much left of the seat.

This one took us a wee while, but found eventually in a spot I had already looked twice! Great spot. TFTc

After doing a cache closer to the road end, decided to come up here. One of the kids came with me while the other decided that the climb was a bit much and retreated to the playground. GPS said try over there so we haunted about a bit to no avail. Reading the hint and looking about, tried a couple of options (getting nicely scratched by the thorny vegetation). On rereading the hint and thinking a tad more, the solution became evident and the cache was soon to hand. As a previous finder has mentioned, bit of a job to get the log nicely rolled up but otherwise cache in good nick. Nice walk up here and a bit of a view, pity about the seat. TFTC

Took a few minutes to find this one - a great hide and a great spot. TFTC!

Found as one of a number on a steadily improving Monday afternoon. Hurrying along to make up for the time lost due to the less than agreeable weather over the last 36-48 hours. Good romp in the hills to get to here. The bad news is that the bench seat has been trashed by some senseless idiot(s)!
Find was quite starightforward. Cache found in order, signed the log and rehidden safely, as found. Major task rewinding that log!
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Stood staring around, then inspiration hit. No pencil in cache to sign with, does contain lego though...

This one had me _______ for a long time TFTC Yeetrees

Late evening walk up the hill as the mist came in at the top - much fun indeed. Very nice hide and so satisfying find. After looking a fair bit we finally went to the hint and it took us right there. All nice and dry inside, but took some effort to get the contents out (is that another reason people use tweezers?). Thanks.

Our last find for the day - we couldn't find it on the way up, and couldn't make use of the hint. Did a little detour on the way back, and as I spotted the hiding place the penny dropped. Doh! Nice little hide. TFTC!

Not very it seems. Observant that is! I'll be back...

A wet walk. Found by junior jamarua with the help of the clue. Great hiding place. TFTC

Very clever tftc

Like a couple of previous finders, I was tricked by my GPSr into searching in the wrong area. I got there eventually. I wasn't brave enough to sit on the bench; it's decidedly wobbly.

mint hide

After all the time spent at Indian Outlook, I was expecting to have more problems with this one. But thankfully standing where my GPS said GZ was, and slowly looking around, I spotted the cache. Well hidden, but visible without excavation thank goodness.
Took a long time to re-wrap up the log book!

#100 Woop! We rugged up in ski pants and woolly hats, determined to find my 100th cache this weekend in spite of the weather. When we got home we made potato pancakes to celebrate TFTC

Started to search for the cache and muggle was right behind me...almost jumped out of my skin. I seat down for bit and penny dropped on the where about the cache should be

Down from the top and then up again (climb two of four).. Found after a little search.. Thanks for the cache...

101 consecutive days of caching and the first today. Nice easy one to start. NINO TFTC

Found it with the PBHurricanes team. Awesome view. TFTC.

Well hidden, and took a few moments to find. TFTC

Nicely hidden!! Quite a trek to get here so I didn't want to leave without finding cache; however co-ords were spot-on.

1496 Nice easy find with hint. TFTC

Second visit to the site. Little bro found the cache exactly where I pointed out I has searched last time! A nice hide. TFTC. Cheers!

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 119. Getting towards the end of the day, but still able to find 'em. Thanks.

Took a quick lunchtime wander today - there are certainly plenty of tracks around this area. Fantastic views. A quick find today and then onwards and upwards.

found at 6.54pm nice qick find walked straight to it,first place I looked,signed log,TFTC

Our first find in New Zealand! Big hello from Canada.
Took a little bit of searching, and our GPS had us in slightly the wrong spot, but eventually our little guy found it.
Nice hide! TFTC.

Silly GPS pointed the other way a few metres up the bank so we scrambled around in the bush up there looking for the feature described in the hint. Found a few good hidey holes nicely tucked away from the track but sadly no cache. Sat on the bench to contemplate where the cache could be when the light bulb lit up. An easy find after all. Thanks Yeetrees.

A nice neat hide. Have been past this way many times, but only just now looked for this cache.

A quick excursion after work. Tracks, tracks and more tracks in this place but manged to choose the correct one. Nice evening view from the cache which was a quick find.

Good one for my kids (as long as the like walking up hills) to find. Did this in conjunction with many others in the area on the walk home.

A nice quick find on a beautiful winters day. TFTC

Took a while to log but collected on a caching expedition up kaukau 2 from 3 caches. Found with Ammie, Hazel & Shane.

Found after our GPS tired to send us in anouther direction

Nice cache to keep you going on the way up the hill, TFTC, SL.

Grabbed this one on the way up the hill to the next cache. Great views at the various lookouts. TFTC

We walked up the track from "Indian Outlook".
It was a nice quiet stop for a rest.
Quickly found the cache.

Was pleasantly surprised to coincide with huhugrub team for the second time today at this one. This time I beat them to the cache (they beat me at the earlier one) so got to sign the log for the 2TF. Nice spot, I haven't walked this track before. TFTC!.

#486. 3TF. We were resting on the bench when agcnz turned up. It's good to meet up for the second time today. A joint effort paid off. agcnz made the find.

Happy Days an FTF !!!!! Number three this morning on an FTF blitz up Mt Kaukau. Enjoyed the walk (thanks). Tricky placement, took a bit of finding. Arrived back at my car to find a note left under on my windscreen. Big Brother is watching. SL TFTC
