Benge Park (Upper Hutt) Maoribank, North Island, New Zealand

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Disabling until after the Covid-19 lock-down is lifted as I cannot get to site to complete a health check...

GPS kept jumping around.

Could not find

Searched a wide area but couldn't find, I'm thinking three DNFs in a row means there's a chance it may have been taken? Please do check it's still there.

Pretty sure I found the spot but couldn't find see most recent couldn't find either...

Found the perfect spot that lined up with the hint and logs, some cover sitting on the hint object but no cache. Will add this to my watchlist.

Found while out caching with Gr33nslime. Never been to this park and while the map said it was small it seemed like it took us ages to find this cache. Mainly because we suffered from the dreaded in accurate cell phone GPS. We were about to give up when I decided that I would never be back here so why not poke around a bit more. It was night and while all the neighbouring houses decided to stream light into this park, there was a few quiet corners and in one was the obvious hide object and said cache sitting there within. Thanks for the cache.

# 1522 out and about after dark in this area and so tried for this one today. It was actually very tricky to find with the phone and no natural light. After spending some time looking for a hint item, one was found, but it wasnt the right one. We were about to call it a night when jimmynz said I wonder how far this path goes, and then he found the hide. Nice save! Cache is nice and dry inside but contains a collection of log sheets that probably go back to last decade...yes this cache is that old!. Cheers PioneerB0rg for another of these ones that teaches me a little more about the place I live. Loved the trees here, huge.

A lovely day to visit from Wellington. My GPS was a little out, maybe due to tree cover. Took a bite from a mosquito. TFTC - appreciated the cool from the tree cover.

A quick find later on - warning, the mozzies are vicious in the evening! So we didn't hang around. The cache looked pretty snug in it's hiding spot, seemed to be where it should..

My muggle mate was walking through the park today and found this cache with all it's contents spilled out

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

a quick find while showing my muggle friend caching, tftc

Found it

Great find

Found after quite a long search. Tftc

Our journey south to the Mega in Wellington, a great day for travel caching.
Thanks to all the CO's who placed the caches

Log to follow

Found with Injeanious as we explored the area during the Mega weekend. We signed some logs as team JeJe to save time and space. We stopped here to eat our dinner and were caught out by KarmaReprint. TFTC!

A quick and easy find. Ran into JeJe having burgers for dinner at a nearby picnic table! Nice. Thanks

Found on a day spent driving up and down the Hutt Valley, finding a cache or two.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Quickly found while attending the WENZ Mega. A day of caching on my own. TFTC

Quite hard

Trip to Wellington for WENZ 2018. Thanks for the hide.

WENZ Mega Weekend is finally here... After experiencing broken sleep at our accommodation, it was time to pull it together and get out there... With Gap (of Fap and Gap) and NZFlossy...

Saturday: A quiet suburban park... Spotted the cache on arrival, so no problems with this one. TFTC.

Day 1 of Wellington Mega
Today's mission was to register, collect lab caches, other events and hopefully 11 different cache types in 1 day.
Tall order but we made it with a few minutes to spare.
We also collected other caches that we had solved prior to coming.
Turned into a bit of a day so sorry for the copy and paste of logs.
Thanks to the cache owners for the placement of these caches.
Looking at the greater picture of the Wellington area we have only scratched the surface so will be back at some stage. SLTFTC

Sad to have a dnf...
Esp as I live out of town and....plus people have said it's great..
GZ in middle of grass .

Today we found Benge Park (Upper Hutt) on our travels. An afternoon cache, it was quite cool amongst the trees
Thanks TheB0rg for being part of our geocaching fun.

Out on a MEGA day pass attempting to find enough caches to make the MEGA Event my 12k find.
I nice walk amongst the trees and a quick find and sign.
Glad I didn’t have jump any fences.
TFTC

A nice cache / placement - but we have to confess to needing to use the hint; TFTC PioneerB0rg.

Attending the mega with TeamBOP. Great time to catch up with other cachers and visit Wellington lLots of fun and laughs while finding lots of great caches Thanks to all the COs for providing all the caches and the work that goes into them. Signed logs as Team BOP to save space and time for us . Sorry for the generic logs will try to add to them once back home Thanks

Thanks

I don't come to this part of Upper Hutt very often and I've never been to this particular suburb before at all. So nice to have a cache as an excuse to a have a bit of a look around. A nice little park here in a style I recognize from other Upper Hutt forest oases. I made rare use of the hint although I really should have been able to found it without. A 2009 cache is almost old enough to be a "classic". I think it's fair to say this is the best cache of the day for me. TFTC!

Great find

Moss stump

Cute find!!

Great find for the kids

Thanks heaps! Found it after a bit of rummaging lol. Didn't write in it as we want the kids to find it!

That was a fun one to find. Cache in great condition

Nice easy find, but no trackable in there as the log shows. I left a geo coin behind for someone else to pick up and journey with.

Nice stroll in a lovely shady park. Took a moment to find the approate hint object, but once seen the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC

Second time I found this one. No pen and muggles around so eventually made it this time. Log book sorted. TFTC.

Night time hunt.... tftc

A rainy day and a weekend was a good time to do these urban and park caches. Grabbed and replaced and all good here

A new day dawns and I have the whole day at my disposal, again, and wheels to drive around in too, yay! The forecast didn't look too flash but I had my beady eye cast towards the Kiwi puzzle caches that I have solved coordinates for and then hoped for a walk out around Titahi Bay. As it turned out I managed a difficult ten caches before the heavens opened and made any meaningful hopes of walking a moot point. Grabbed some comfort food to spend the rest of the day indoors and as soon as I got to my temp home the sun came back out again. So, in the arvo, I headed out for another 10 caches and a good day out.

Thanks for the cache!

Cool man

Lovely

Faaaaanksh

Nice one!

Tftc

Quick find while visiting the area tftc

Straight forward find, TFTC

Unable to find. Gps was jumpy, but had a good look round the assumed stump

Last find for the day. Hint had me puzzled for a little bit as I couldn't see it at first but soon spotted it. Picked up the Cachoids trackable (it's got a bit of weight to it), but didn't notice speedy's ghost. TFTC

TFTC 271
