By Yeetrees on 12-Apr-09. Waypoint GC1PW6D

Time to put this one to rest as it has being muggled again and it really isnt worth replacing a third time

Hmm.. we are joining the list. Could see where it would go, but alas it was not there. Muggled??

Another disappointment for the day when I didn't find this one. Had the location ok, and started to look but drew a bit of attention from one of the houses across the street. Thanks anyway.

Are you sure it there? Couldn't find it at all!!

A pleasant cycle in the country side,a nice pinot gris, a bowl of local olives and then the cache. What a life! TFTC

Came back this evening for a second look and found after a short search. TFTC.

After an extensive search of the only one in the area we couldn't find it.

Thanks to agcnz for replacing the cache

Back in same spot and please hide as found so it doesnt get.muggled again

Looking at coming over early next month, will check but thinking seroiusly about archiving it if it isnt there

We had 2 attempts at this. Came back on the 30th and still couldn't find it. Might be a hit spot be we were left cold.

Couldn't find this one today.

had a big hunt on the ground but didnt come up with any
thing

Gave this one two good searches. Turned up nothing.

Oh no, not one of these - gasp. Luckily the streets were quiet so a bit of grovelling could be carried out and the cache located. Log is pretty full, only a few spaces left. TFTC

nice easy find also found some dog poop so be careful

Hate these bushes but a quick find today. TFTC

Hmmm I thought as I approached after an unsuccessful search close by - but it wasn't so bad after all. TFTC #2806

Easy found Thanks, but you need new logbook

Easy find. As a previous log said the log book doesn't have space at the back but has heaps of "in fill" space. This will of course make it difficult for you to make good on your "sign or delete" threat. The sky is very impressive just now. Sunset to east under serious cloud but lots of blue elsewhere. NINO TFTC

Found while on a little bike ride exploring the vineyards!
Needs a new log book.

A short holiday with my wife to this wonderful land NZ over from Australia to do some sightseeing and to catch with my mate Dunko who has been moved over here for work. We plan to do the crossing many times, enjoyed doing the cache. Thanks for the cache, made our mark..

Slink1 and co came over from Australia to do some sightseeing and to cache. A trip to the burbs was in order. Slink1 reckons he'll be back for more. Thanks for the cache made our mark..

Not much going on at the centre...

Easy find , TFTC

Definitely felt exposed here. Luckily I started on the right side! TFTC

Quick find fabulous after all those tastings tftc

Had to make two attempts because of muggles TFTC

A quick find in the rain, before the monster snow-storm. TFTC.

My second unsuccessful flax bush hunt of the day. Felt very exposed here so didn't want too hang around to long and didn't want to destroy the flax which seems necessary to find this.

Found the only one in the area, but family playing soccer near by so will have to come back

took me a little while but found it. log book needs replacing soon as there aren't many blank pages left.

This cache has been compromised. Someone (perhaps a juvenile muggle) has placed graffiti in the log book. Not altogether surprising though, the cache is very exposed and it is difficult to be stealthy. I made an entry on the last page. TFTC

4th cache for the day. TFTC

Cache is looking ok, have hidden it a bit better to stop it being muggled, please rehide it well.

The cache had been muggled - the log book was out of the container and had juvenile scribblings in it. We hid it a bit better, but it's probably compromised.
TFTC.

Will be doing a check on the cache and will look at moving it tommorow

Easy find. TFTC.

#2298. Wow; we managed to find 1 Martinborough cache. Troodles didn't mention the juvenile pictures now in the log book ... TFTC.

I felt a little obvious scrambling around for the exact spot with a crowd of muggles nearby. TFTC.

First cache of the day. First run-in with a curious and slightly dodgy looking muggle. 'Oh you look like you've lost something?' 'Nah we're right.' And we just stare at him till he drives off. LOL! Cheers Gav [7911]

A nice simple cache to start off our day. TFTC

Quick find, then off to the pub for lunch...

We hate those plants, but easy find

took a bit of finding cool

Nice easy find, just had to wait for a quiet moment

Lovely little town

Our first New Zealand Geocache! Found by five members of the small family. Took peg and toy trumpet. Left crayons, badge and bracelet. TFTC

When we went to get this one we parked right behind friends of ours, also from Wellington, who were playing in the park beside the cache! TFTC

2 year old enjoyed this. TFTC

Easily found by Master Miester as it was sitting completely exposed on top of the GZ. Replaced cache in cover under GZ. 2nd of 35 on Fozzmiester family Martinborough fair caching trip. TFTC

#312. Hot Spot? We hope so! Despite the overcast weather with a slight drizzle every 20 minutes or so, the grass is amazingly dry and brown. They really need some rain over here. Found the cache instantly, thankfully we weren't searching through it for 20 minutes! SL TFTC. Our 7th cache in the "Martinborough-Hinakura Mega Geocache Run".

Our first find of 2011, nice an easy. Took wine cork, left Dinosaur sticker. TFTC

On way back from a surf trip. Could not SL due to no pen or pencil. Super hot day. All fire trucks out near ngawi.

Certainly was a hot spot this morning. Found the cache a bit exposed in the top of the flax, so rehid it a bit better (sorry for the next finder )
TFTC.

19:25 Pre dinner stroll. Actually, "I'm with him" found it... TFTC. Cheers, GC

Good place. Nice flax. Maybe a little obvious but still cool.

found the hot spot on a hot hot day . Thanks

Wine country. Good too

Found

TFTC

A quick find after we had helped the British Car Club find their way to their destination. TFTC

Found during the great Wairarapa weekend cacheathon. Enjoying the wonderful Wairarapa again, a fantastic time, so thanks for bringing us here. Pretty hot here today too!

Cache find was straight forward, and cache all in order; rehidden safely as found after signing the log.

TFTC - found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Did with agcnz on a day long caching trip. At least it was an easy find.. T4TC

A quick find on a day's cache hunting in the Wairarapa with CrystalFairy. Signed log, TFTC

Had to do this quickly to avoid any muggles spotting us, felt very exposed!
TFTC

Nice day walking around Martinborough. Enjoy the local wines.

Last cache of the morning before heading home to Hawkes Bay.

Our first one. An easy find.

Easy find and quiet around dusk. Had been stopping at all the playgrounds on our trip, and there was one nearby. TFTC. No tb in there.

Nice easy find TFTC

Quick Drive by this time. Very quiet unlike last time when the Fair was on. TFTC

Easier than when we came here last time and the fair was on! TFTC

Found after some searching. We put the cache back exactly where we found it, but were not sure it was necessarily in the right place.
TNLN, TFTC

Mrs Sobad's sister takes the honours here. She spotted the reason for the cache name and then the cache itself. TFTC

TFTC

Good to stop and strech the legs here. TFTC

TFTC. 1 of 31 found on geo road trip , Thanks

#1196. Quick find. Pretty quiet around here. Unfortunately, Cab's Money was not in the cache. Looks like it had been picked up, but not yet logged. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Tftc -gc lost count of how many I have done today

Nice easy find - thanks!

Follow the clues, easy find. Martinborough is in the middle of wine country. Be sure to visit the
Wine Center.

Easy cache, thanx to my little geocacher spotting this "hint" , TFTC

Found on a beautiful Wairarapa morning. TFTC

TFTC last one for my day.

TFTC

Another found with NZABIC.
Very exposed but very quiet today.
TFTC

I hope no-one was watching. Retrieved it quickly without any fuss. TFTC

tb drop

felt very exposed on a busy weekend in Martinborough but quickly found it.... TN L paua TFTC

No doubt as to location, but felt somewhat exposed. Fortunately a quick find. TNLN, TFTC. Now, off to compare pinot noirs!

I am not really that keen on these sort of caches where people could be observing me from all sorts of locations, so I was quite relieved to be able to find it straight away. Still, Martinborough was a good place to be on such a nice day.

Stunning day to be outside , hot as! Tnln tftc

Quick find after eating in Martinborough--lovely town. On holiday from the US, and checking out the wineries today. TNLNSL. TFTC!

A very quick and easy find after dinner in the Old Post Office. Had no spare pencil with us - cache has none.
Well, there really was only one spot the cache could be.

Very quick find - in a likely spot!

A quick find.There were suprisingly few muggles in this area.

TFTC Quick find just before a coffee break

I could see the cache from 4 feet away, so it is a little deeper now. TFTC.

Found while on a raid down in Wellington from my hometown of Auckland over the xmas break.
