I was looking for it for a long time, checking every part of the wall and I had no luck. It is possible that someone has relocated or removed it.
Took a bit of searching but was obvious when we got it! TFTC. Great excuslrusipn on this gloomy day.
This took a little bit of hunting, but got there in the end. All quiet at the beach today. Thanks for placing your cache. Ms_KR and I are heading North again to visit family. Today was just cruising around town, caching and seeing some of the sights.Occassionally signed MK+KR on cache logs, and apologies for the generic logs.Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches.
Tried to find this with not much time after working down here on the way to the hotel. Just ended up looks a bit creepy with my torch facing upwards towards the runner on the path lol. And my gps was all over the show. May have to revisit this one at a later date
A good opportunity to correct this sad face on my map...was too fixated on the original container type perhaps! Found it in quick time, nothing too devious.
Took a bit of a hunt but found it near where I first started looking! I just had to go left a bit instead of behind
Really don't have my caching mojo this morning. Took previous logs into account, found a few likely spots but no joy.
My first geocaching experience, searched for about 30 minutes and couldnt find it, my waypoints were exact and searched everywhere where I thought it could be due to the hint, no luck
Nice easy find this beautiful arvo while watching the sailing club do their thing. Tftc
GPS is indeed a bit off by 6m to the right... But not telling you which right! ;PNice little beach.TFTC!
I took the opportunity to find some central city caches when the weather turned cold and windy with a southerly so less people were around (no one was on this beach!). Thanks for the cache 
Needed to pick a quiet moment over summer to give this one a hunt. Took longer than it should have, but easy find once I found the correct spot. Tftc
Out and about with TrinityNZ after work. This one took longer than it should have for two sets of eyes. Found as per hint with mobile reading 8m. What a lovely summer's evening - nice location. TFTC
JustlookingOO and I were out after work collecting finds for the December solstice challenge. JLOO needed a traditional today, and so we ended up here. It took a lot of looking to find this, luckily JLOO is tenacious and didnt give up, finding the cache in the first place I had looked, but obviously not very wellThanks for the cache in this beachy location.
Came by here today and visited this cache. First the muggles let past, then the can was ours. Thanks for this cache say the Knuffelbren.
Sadly no pen but we left a couple dog treats for the next people to find it was a fun little find
We looked a little dodgy with our phone torches out but neat spot! Found with ShivSD(No pen tonight but TFTC)
Thanks for hiding, really cool little beach in Welli. Muchas gracias from Mexico !
Forgot the exact date about this afternoon walk, it was around the end of Sep.Tftc

Original spot is now cordoned off and out of bounds. Now in new in new location well away from Penguin nesting area
The cache is currently inaccessible while the new cycle & walking path is constructed.
Could not find yesterday with Cookdawg. Would be keen to come back and give another shot if we have the time! Must be sneakier than we thought!
Out for the day into Wellington with Bkj97 and Little Blue Hen, with guidance from Bkj97 it was a quick find for Mr CD. TFTC
Finally found it on Guy Fawkes came before a year earlier but the tide was too high and carparks here are rare. Nice walk from Oriental.
On a Saturday the Greek Food truck is there all day. I recommend a souvalaki.

Thankfully the tide was out, and I carried my bike to the GZ. A beautiful day in the capital, and a fun hide here, cheers
Found with aeshna_UK.
Part of my effort to get back into geoaching and to clear my massive logging backlog!
Came down this way for Christmas Day lunch on the beach. Bit windy but still a fun day. We'd actually looked for this cache without success not long after we first arrived in New Zealand but, this time, it was a fairly straightforward find. TFTC!

Wet feet today to get this one. In Wellington from Christchurch to move my son into his new apartment and ran up Mt Vic Matairangi. TFTC!
Another boxhill cache down Nice quick and pleasant side diversion on a lovely walk around the coast. Cosy spot for a cache and all well here. TFTC Boxhill.

may have been spotted by some sneaky seagulls who were checking out if there where hot chips in the cache

Definitely chose the wrong time of day for finding this and ended up with wet toes!
Blustery day out! Not sure I could keep sand between my toes while ‘reaching’ but a satisfying find! Thanks
I was nearby here a few days ago but the weather decided to pick that time to pack it in so I deferred seeing no point in trying to do this in the rain. Today was a much better day - a bit too good really as muggles were out in force and I got stuck in a traffic jam on Oriental Parade for a while. The location of the cache seemed pretty clear from afar but it still took me several minutes of poking around to find the prize. Nicely located cache. Thanks for providing the first excuse I've had to stop in this bay.
We hired bikes and headed out along the coast on a stunning cold and sunny Winter day. One of us needed to use the facilities close by here and the other noticed this cache close by. While MrsJAG was on an important phone all she spied the cache and directed MrJAG to the cache. As we were mounting our bikes to continue our ride we noticed a person go down on the beach. We saw they were looking for the cache so helped them out from the cycle path above.
Not much sand left as tide nearly high, but enough for me to search likely places. Came face to face with a startled pigeon, before securing cache container. All good, tftc!
Trip down to Wellington to take the bike for a run the weather was going to be iffy as per metservice, turns out it was fine and managed to find the odd cache here and there, thanks for the placement.
