As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

I note this is the only GC placed by this cacher and they last participated October 2012. Certainly the GZ has significantly changed since placement and GC was last found some four months ago. Just MHO.

Could not find must of just missed the last commenter that was looking for it. Prob would if thought each other were mangles lol
 
29-Mar-14
Been here years ago with Juty_bug, but it's very different now. All the hints are gone, replaced by long grass and regen scrub. Suspect cache may be long gone too. I'm allergic to grass, so wasn't prepared to search there or in the bush where GPS indicated. Shame as have used this spot for past rogaines.
 
12-Jan-14
Had a good hunt around and read previous logs but no luck
 
07-Dec-13
Amazing the difference between my phone and the gps cords bang on for gps thou followed the gps and there was cache at my feet Smile tftc
 
24-Nov-13
Yep I say the same as the last Geocacher . Very nicely put
 
24-Nov-13
Nearly broke my ankle in a hole then worked out that the hint is now missing so just go by your gps and u should b ok
 
23-Nov-13
Took an unconventional route to GZ and ended up bang on the pub coords. No sign of the hint so wasnt hopeful to find cache. Wandered around for a bit and a bit of luck spotted the cache! A bit exposed but replaced as found as nothing nearby to cover it up.

TFTC! Smile

Please check. The cache is missing. Found the spot, with the clues, but nothing was there.

On my way home from a walk to Ngamotu beach I decided to try for this one. Because I had loaded the file pre-premium I didn't have a description, so ended up taking the long way around, but it was nice easy find. Left a plastic sign, and signed the log. Thanks for the cache.

03-Jan-13
Found on a weekend caching mission around Taranaki with Geco72. We made this one harder for ourselves than it needed to be. Should've read the full description first, but what's a caching weekend without a bit of bush-crashing? Got there in the end. TFTC.
 
03-Jan-13
Quick find in a pleasant little park. TFTC
 
03-Jan-13
This one was close to our accommodation in Pioneer Road, wandered down, but failed to read the instructions about the path. Consequently took a bit longer to find the easy way in.

Thanks for the cache.
 
03-Jan-13
Found with my caching buddy Davycrockpot on an extended caching weekend. Well we made this one hard for ourselves and followed the wrong path and then had to take the path thats not really a path down the steep hill, but we got it! TFTC
 
26-Dec-12
A nice easy find while in the area. TFTC.
 
25-Dec-12
Hehe Dad decided to go down the steep non path track, while I used the path, which I recommend

Spotted this one quickly and let the young lad find it. We were out showing him and his Mum the joys of geocaching. Picked up a travel bug and dropped one off. Left a spiderweb (it looked a bit like a target)and warthog and the young one took a hacky sack. We also left a notebook for a new logbook as the loose pages didn't do justice to such a generous cache.
 
06-Oct-12
Found on our trip home from the snow - with a detour to CANZ Matawatu & Taranaki...

First one we found in New Plymouth. Have hear many a thing about this city before as I know quite a few people from here - well... in the first 10 minutes, we already saw two seperate people getting arrested... don't know if that was a coincidence or what, but hmm...

This cache was very quickly spotted, as I could see it from a wee way away upon approaching - I guess I am the right height! But first we had to find an entrance way! - Took a guess at paths, and turns out we were right! Lol...

TFTC!! Smile

Awesome, a good sized cache, if I'd have known I'd have brought a few extra things to put in it. Very easy find in a rather secluded little glade. No arrows flying today but I'd like to come back when they are. TFTC.

My first cache found with the help of a 5 year old boy
 
30-Jan-11
Introduced sapdivers to geocaching and this was first of 7 for the day. Muggles sitting right beside GZ so asked for their help! Their 5 yr old son had already found cache so it was an easy find. Talked to muggles and they are very keen to start up geocaching with their family.
 
25-Jan-11
Nice one tftc

Interesting little park we didn't know was there. Couldn't get to carpark as closed by poles from both sides, extra walk to carpark didn't kill us though. Cheers and thanks

Also got confused at entrances and fields..... but got there with help of GPS which was spot on No SD card but perhaps I didn't look hard enough.

Lovely spot, 1st cache of 2011. For Lani.

Not sure that we approached this from the correct access but found a treasure trove of paua shells during our bush bash. They were definitely undersize so hope we don't get stopped by a MAF check on the way home Surprised. Easy find once at GZ T4TC.

A pleasant spot for a surprisingly large cache. Very nice! What a great idea about the SD card! Smile Unfortunately in our excitement in finding the cache and discovering a big trackable in there (which we posed for some photos with our TB and the cache), we totally forgot about the SD card Red Face as we didn’t notice it. Unlike the coast, there was no one here, so we enjoyed the hunt without having to dodge a single muggle. Smile Good spot for a cache. Thanks Equinox0132. We enjoyed this one.
 
07-Oct-10
A nice simple cache on an early holiday. Cheers
 
05-Oct-10
