Two Twisted Trees (Auckland) Browns Bay, North Island, New Zealand
By Jackles on 01-Jun-09. Waypoint GC1T4PG

Just dont have time to replace at the moment,

Can this cache be replaced or archived so it doesn't keep showing PQ's.
It's been disabled for months.

Closed for maintenance

We had a good fumble in all the potential places but could not find this one.

Found some likely spots using the clue, but couldn't find the cache.

28-05-2011

Put us down for a DNF on this one.

TFTC.

Just checked on the weekend, its safe as placed, v2.0 is yet to be found...

went out on a night hunt to find V2. hmmmm this one now escapes us. will look again at low tide in day

Thought we'd figured out the hint, and the tree. If it's there, it's well hidden. Will try again.

v2.0 following muggle

Closed for maintenance

=/ second visit and still no find. been a while since it was last found too so maybe its gone walkabout??

Very very clever! Took two visits but found quickly on the second trip. Got us hooked!

Brilliant camo clever hint if it was intended tftc

Nice hide and cool cammo but quickly found by a junior pastamaker. Thankfully so as this one could have given us quite a lot of trouble!

TFTC

neat cache camo , spent some time checking out the trees and the patterns
in the bank .TFTC

nice place

Very clever TFTC

4.10pm. Superb trees and roots and cliff patterns here. Distracted the search a little. Knew from prior logs it would be a clever hide and sure it was - very cunning.

very satisfying piece of camo. lovely beach. tftc

#499 Numbers run locally to try and reach that next milestone!! Nice quiet Sunday. Exceptional camo, very impressive. Quick find. Always nice to visit the beach. SL. TFTC.

New & improved camo

cool cache, very hard to find but great disguise

Closed for maintenace

Easy find. Was in the first place I thought to search.

Note that the lid has cracked, and the log is damp as a result, and could do with some silica.

Out on a mission with Cadinut on a day of caching, starting from Milford and ending up at Leigh doing Stingray cache which is only accessible on a spring low tide. Very very cool cammo. Tftc

Nice camo quick find TFTC

Nice area for a walk, lots of people around out with their dogs.

Nice beach! TFTC =)

found with mondoolix, our 26th for the day. had some fun here, i found the cache and had wondered off to "look at the other tree" and would have been able to sign and replace the cache if it wasnt for mondoolix having stolen my pen! good hide though, thanks

Bit of searching about until... bingo

Found it before Martin, although he'd spotted it but not got it. Great cache thanks!

Found it with a little hint from Brook Vader after the GPS was indicating some fairly hazardous locations for looking.

love the hiding spot my legs were sore from a running race but i still found it and it was a cool cache

An interesting couple of trees indeed.

VERY HARD

Nice hide for a cache and great camo. TFTC

Finally got to get this one after it going missing when we looked the first time.
Great camo! liked it a lot! Thanks!

5:43 pm Second time lucky cool artwork in the cliff face, the last time we did this it had been muggled. So great to finally find it.

Thanks for the cache, great camo.

Excellent cammo; well done and TFTC!

good hide and great place

Got lucky wiht this one, approached from the right angle & soon spotted the cache, clever camo. TFTC.

We were climbing around for ages, and let it slip under our noses. Finally found it. Good camo. TFTC

was expecting to have to get out the climbing harness after reading previous logs but in the end wasnt as hard very nice camo and hiding spot, really funny thing was we found a hidden spray can in a hole in the tree that was covered up with rocks and bark just like a cache! TFTC.

Was on my way to a job - quick stop for lunch and a bit of caching. Love the camo - SL TFTC

getting pretty dark by the time we got to this one so didn't find

5 minute Tarzan impression and cache located. Nice one! SL TFTC

Could not find it, a difficult one, will try again. Torbay Two

Stealth was the name of the game here, as I'm sure 2 muggles had their eyes on me as I approached GZ. Had a clamber and found cahce without too much trouble. Very nice camo and hide!!!! TFTC.

Sent mbuckland off to find this one. Watched 2 muggles watching him closely! Awesome camo. TFTC

Brilliant cache placement. TFTC !!!!

Spent the day out caching with Carlnz. Nice camo and very well hidden because of it. Thanks.

found with a bit of hunting awesome little hide

We were nearby having a picnic, so thought we'd take a look for this cache (again!!)
Nice hide... TFTC

Used to play in these trees alot when growing up. Must admit to a sinking feeling as I approached GZ with only 5mins to spare, before having to leave to pick up parents, I felt there was no way I was going to find it in this time, and without alerting the muggles further down beach . However luck was in, first look about and there it was . Great hide TFTC

Last of a group we have done on the bike. Went and tried the fare at the nearby cafe. Nice place.

Again, I needed some help from Di with this one. It is amazing how the pohutukawas grow in these sort of places and they do provide some good caching challenges. Well done. Thanks, Jackles.

Skipped this one - too many muggles.

Climbed over, under and all around the trees before spotting the sneaky hide.
Well done!
TFTC

Finally got it on my second visit. Great camo. Out on a raid on North Shore caches before lunch.

Cheers for the cache.

Attempted this one a few weeks ago but was temporarily archived. Got a notification that it was active again so returned for a quick find. TFTC

New & improved camo, might be a little tougher to find

Muggled, so out for maintenance

Spent a fair bit of time here without success.

Rather nice day but beach was deserted, a different story in summer no doubt.
Very systematic search required here and didn't take too long, a good hide though.
TFTC

No one about this morning. Quickish find.

T4TC.

Turned the area upside down...no success. Will try again later no doubt.

I was frightened this one was going to be muggles as everytime I see one in a spot like this. The kids have gotten to it.

But alas. There it was . Excellent hide and location.

TFTC

Visiting Ozzies, Thank you for the cache, Son and Neice in tow, lovley spot.
Signed log, good hide well done
Cheers

A quick find - nice beach, just a few dogs exercising their owners. TFTC

Quick find amongst the two twisted trees. Nice hide, nice spot, many thanks.
TNLNSL, TFTC

Nice beach, pretty deserted today except for a couple of dogs. Quick find, TFTC

This was looking to be long search, testing my flexibility. Great hide - not where I was expecting it.
T4TC - M@

This one took some contortions, but was fun to complete. Clever hide. Out in the open, but safe. Well done.

Out celebrating Kayaknkiwi's last exam for the term with Indiana Jill. Nice little find! TFTC!

Out in the area with Seattle's Best and Indiana Jill. I do enjoy this beach, great spot. Indiana Jill came up with the goods on this one. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC!

Nice Hide! Took awhile TFTC

Took us a while but got there in the end. Fantastic calm morning for a walk and a climb. TFTC.

Thought this may have been a long visit as it's a micro but hooray saw it within a minute, T4TC.

Took a while, but thankful that the beach was deserted.

TFTC

No worries with this one, the littlest Welsh kid found it. TFTC

I love this beach, attended a wedding here not long ago.

Nice simple find.

Grabbed a photo for the memory.

Many thanks

FTF TB Drop

Catching up on some long overdue logging.
Kiwicouple and I dashed out in the evening hoping to get the FTF on this one. Didn't quite get here early enough though. Took a bit of finding in the dark, but got there in the end.
Thanks

Quick exit out the door and luck was with us for a FTF with no sign of FMZ yet....... T4TC.

Quick find in the dark ! TFTC.

Quick find. Walking to cache when rosmar was just leaving. nice hide! TFTC!!!

Late seeing the page published so knew we were probably out of the race. Made a quick find on the beach in the dark. Yep, beaten by Rosmar and FMZ.
Thanks.
