Sorry to archive this one but the boxes have now been removed so doesn't work any longer.

Fun puzzle with Princess-Emily who used her fingers to complete. Busy around GC so diversion created by my stealth companion and cache returned safely. Cache in good order TFTC

This was fun. I was able to solve cause I counted on my fingers. Just-Lookin is lucky to have me for these tricky ones. TFTC Mr Tmann421

A caching friend from way back, BoogieO lives nearby. I'm visiting from Auckland. So we met for lunch in the red cafe. Got paper and pen ready to do the maths and soon drove on to the final. Great idea for a multi.

After visiting this about a week before I solved this muiti time to come back for the cache , signed and placed back in the safe place . TFTC tmann421

9.35am. Nice little multi. And a puzzle I can work out! All went well. Deserving of a favourite point.
Thank you. David.

My mega NZ MEGA 2013 Trip!! Split into two halves - first, the journey up, and then the second half was the actual MEGA time.

This was the first half. I ended up deciding that the best way to travel up for the MEGA was by doing a rental relocation. Jucy had FAR too many cars in Chch that needed going to Auckland, and so with the pick of the crop I went for the 4WD... naturally, being a cacher, I knew this would come in handy!
They paid the vehicle on the ferry, paid the insurance, and gave me a free tank of gas as well as 5 days to get up to Auckland! What more could you want?!!
This was my 147th cache of the trip.

A nice and quick multi - hatched on pretty quickly, and the contraption at the final was pretty cool!!

Sorry about the mostly copied logs - but otherwise I would still be logging till Christmas - and that's Christmas 2014 I mean! Haha.

TFTC!!

Found it with some friends as a birthday activity.
Good one.

TFTCSL I enjoyed working this one out then finding it. Although I've been here several times I had never seen the hint here before! It was such a lovley evening

Last time I was at WP it was a country store and I was a child. I've been past every couple of months since but never been in, nor had I stopped at the cache location. Thats the thing about geocaching it makes you a tourist in your own backyard. Great cache when travelling north, rather dangerous travelling south. Worth a favourite point for old times sake. NB: At the cache you don't need to open any doors - you will find this a) impossible or b) might get you arrested. Did have an oops I shouldn't be in here moment

On our first driveby at GZ a couple of muggles were chatting near GZ luckily they had moved on after we had turned around so a quick grab was made. TFTC

Drat. I'm on call at the hospital and the pager goes off. So I call up the person, get the problem, dial in to work and fix it all while #1 dad and the Seagnoid's sister solved the puzzle. Then they ran interferance while I retrieved the cache. Nice sunny day, lots of people about.

One half of team AK was having lunch at first WP and used the opportunity to introduce two more people to caching! TFTC!

We had some spare time while heading to Otaki today so decided that after having driven on by on numerous occasions it was time to visit. The required information was gathered from the comfort of the car and it was off to the final for a quick find. Thanks for bringing me to this very interesting location which we explored before continuing our journey. TFTC

Nicely constructed multi and neat hide. TFTC

Yippee a nice and easy Multicache. Thanks tmann

#2547. Were surprised when our coords for the final were further away than epected. Pretty easy find at the final. TFTC.

Aaah! Those stacked containers! A nice wee multi, and I enjoyed the final.
TFTC.

A very smart idea for a cache, enjoyed it. The final location is interesting too. Out for a visit to Boogie-O/1 with Edvern. Great multi. TFTC

#2317. Interesting multi. First to sign new log. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Replaced cache - good to go, although not too sure how long the item it is covered by last as getting very rusty.

I have been meaning to hunt down this cache for a very long time but despite having driven past it countless times I had never stopped. Came here this afternoon and was quite surprised at what the nature of the "stacked containers" was. The cache was much easier than I had anticipated it would be and the final was in hand very quickly. When I found it, the cache was lying on the ground. The location is deteriorating somewhat and the magnets on the cache container are so rusty that they have almost no holding power left. Signed log, TFTC!

Not my fastest post - having completed this multi at a snail's pace over two days - but definitely a Hyde worth visiting.
Had to keep on my guard at the final, though.

Was not looking for this type of container to start with but sorted it out.Found ok .Thanks.

Arrived at the posted co-ordinates and found the stack of containers. Got the numbers we needed and headed for the final. Needed a bit of stealth at GZ, but not too many muggles about. Thanks for a fun multi.

# 2719

cool

had some help great find

Fun find. TFTC

Solved it Labour weekend on way to wgtn but couldn't risk a u turn and it was too dark on return but got it today Thanks I like your idea of stacking.

A nice, straightforward little multi with nothing ambiguous to trick us up, and kept us safe from the busy road. Magnets on the key holder are very rusty and may not hold much longer. TFTC

Did with CrystalFairy

10-10-10 Quick and easy find.. Managed to solve the first part without even leaving the car... The final hide was quite a unique spot.. Been here once before.. Thanks for bring us here again..

Outstanding fun. We loved this cache found at the end of a wonderful day. Thanks for the great instructions.

Called by this morning. Loved the containers. Not quite what I envisioned.
TFTC

TFTC loved where the puzzle was solved. Most enjoyable.

# 161 T4TC Nice spot for a cache

TFTC With Skeetinnz

Nice quick multi, fun working out. Awesome thanks

Sorted this one out on my way North this morning. No problems with muggles at WP1 or GZ. Quick and easy.TFTC.

An interesting and enjoyable little multi, although not quite what we were expecting. TFTC

Had to wait to grab the final this morning when there were less muggles around.

found on the way home after 'hunting' in Waikanae for the afternoon. Nice spot. TFTC

Nice easy finish to a great day caching. 2nd attempt due to muggles the 1st time hence 7pm was a great time to do it. TFTC

Easy find!!

Cooperative effort, with Boogie-O 2 reading the clues and Boogie-O 1's lightning brain doing the sums. No problems and a quick find on our way home. TNLNSL, TFTC.
Incidentally, the coords also give us the location of one of our favourite lunch and dinner venues!

Laughed when I realised what the "containers" were. This is a clever, quick multi and the final location is unique too. Recommended! Thanks tmann421.

1643 Fun little multi, on a overcast but thankfully not wet day! TFTC

nice easy puzzle, & fortunately, cache site wasn't too busy. TFTC

This one had us wondering as we couldn't see any containers at first! Haha - good multi, found without any problems. NINO, TFTC

Got the numbers worked out a last week but too much muggle activity near the final and didn't think the grab would be a safe thing.
Found myself back in the area today and no-one about so completed the formalities in signing the log book.
TFTC

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 298. Nice little multi, Thanks.

Solved some time ago but after passing GZ decided I would leave this for an after hours find. When locating cache at 9pm, I realised with a little stealth this cache could be done during a busy day.
TNLNSL. TFTC, #400

A fun multi. We were wondering what the stacked containers were, thinking that they'll be huge and chuckled when we saw them. Calculated coordinates to the final but when we got there had to wait a wee while for muggles in the car to move off as they were parked close to GZ. When they left, we happily took their spot in order to nab the cache. Did the tie the shoelace trick and soon had cache in hand. SL. TFTC.

Very clever cache and wording for clues. Good mathematics for Cam and Mac. Found with Granny Annie and Grampy on a beautiful Kapiti Coast day.

Quite tricky containers. Very clever cache. Enjoyed our lunch nearby. Found with grandsons Cam and Mac on a beautiful Kapiti Coast day.

Having helped Bkj97 to find many of his caches since May 2009 I thought it was time that Bcj97 (previous name) should evolve and register my finds to date as Little Blue Hen. Found while returning from visiting friends up the road. Clues at a well visited haunt of ours and final gave excuse to have a look around.TFTC

Brunch with friends just up the road didn't deter Bcj97 and self grabbing this on the way home. Amazing that the containers have stayed in place so long. Clever hide. TFTCSL

#257. I have been wondering how you could get boxes with numbers on them in a multi without them being muggled - quite easily it turns out. Nice puzzle, and thanks for the final. We drive past often and have never stopped there before, SL, TFTC.

#3156
Great wee multi. Loved the strong guardian. Many thanks for the fun.
TNLNSL, TFTC

I had no idea the GZ surroundings were here. They ended up being another dreaded geocaching diversion but enjoyable nonetheless.

nice cache had to use the talk on the cell phone rutean to avoied muggels whatching.
+ empty bullet shell SL.
TFTC

nice multi...I arrived at first way point and was a bit stumped ...then I realised what it meant. Good idea. Nice Hyde!

Great multi - containers had me a little stumped & then the light went on! Aha...
Well thought out.
Lots of muggles at GZ so had to do a quick snatch & grab in the rain next to a very flashy sports car - was a little worried owner might be watching & think i was about to nick it...
S/L
TFTC

Great final location which I recommend

A fun Multi, no trouble with the maths,just a little trouble at GZ with one woman who wouldn't take her eyes off me, jeez you'd think shed never seen someones shoe laces come undone before, waited her out then swooped in for the kill. SL TFTC

Saw this cache come up, uhmm!!! The name looks similar, oh yes now I know why, was there on Sunday heading south and had placed a cache there but not yet published and called it the same name, and was going to make it a puzzle, but that’s cool, instead of placing one I found one, finding the cache was not an issue as it was one of the waypoints that I used to set up my puzzle but decided to do the multi properly, lucky for me that the containers are still all in place, amazing that the containers are stacked so well on the side of the road and can be seen from such a long distance, hope they stay in place, (TUI) cool spot for a cache, TFTC TNLNSL (991)

An enjoyable and quick multi.
Nobody around at the final location tonight, making for an easy retrieval of the cache.
Thanks.

Bwahaha, yes! A FTF!
Decided a little adventure would be appropriate - got the notification e-mail an hour after publication. Jumped in the car with Sam, and had cache in hand at 11.15pm! Woot!

Cheers,
