do you want me to replace it? if so, what was it?---Glyn.

It appears that this cache may have gone missing. We have disabled this until we can check on the container.
 
23-Jul-17
Three of us had a pretty good look but came up empty handed. Seeing it was the first find for some previous cachers, we think this one may have gone
 
23-Jul-17
Three sets of eyes couldn't locate this, which should have been an easy find.
 
23-Jul-17
Think this one has gone!

Miss 4 had a meltdown while we were trying to find this.

Awesome little drive by.
 
27-Mar-16
I was out for a walk today, on this gorgeous Easter Sunday, while my other half was in the gym burning off some of the Easter eating. This cache was on route to Castor Bay, so it made perfect sense to grab it. Upon arriving at GZ there were very few muggles around, despite the lovely weather, and the cache was a quick and easy grab. All signed and returned easily. TFTC #532
 
25-Mar-16
Perfect for kids, thank you
 
25-Mar-16
This our first
 
18-Mar-16
Out for some night caching with the gadget team. Thought caches around this area might be easier to find at night with fewer muggles around. Yep it was to be so found it.
 
26-Feb-16
TFTC, I really like this kind of cache, easy walk up on a beautiful sunny day in NZ. Yeowzers I'm getting a bit burnt from all this sunshine! Hello from Canada, eh.

17-Jan-16
Nice and quick . A dog came up to me and owner wanted me to pat it as it was being socialized. I looked the entire length. Nice location. Stayed a while to check out the boats.TFTC
 
13-Jan-16
Quick find well having lunch
 
09-Jan-16
Enjoyed dodging muggles and making up excuses!

#10689. I think I've taken Maggie for 22 walks since our house sit started, and Troodles has accompanied once (to find the two caches on the walking route). I'd already spotted this cacheon a previous walk, so it was a quick find. TFTC.
 
06-Jan-16
Before the temperatures got too hot, went out for an earlyish morning walk with StreetWalker and Maggie the muggle dog. She turned out to be pretty useless as a cache detection unit but had her uses as cover for lurking by the roadside.
SW had already sussed out the hide on an earlier walk but had left the paperwork until I accompanied him. So it was a quick find! TFTC.
 
19-Sep-15
TFTC easy one thx
 
18-Sep-15
Was in the area for work and had a few spare minutes, so out caching I go.

Nice quick find, then headed to the beach for lunch.
 
17-Sep-15
It will leave you feeling fresh! If you pardon the pun. Good location. Had us stumped for a bit
 
17-Sep-15
Very creative spot
 
05-Sep-15
True stealth test this one!
 
22-Aug-15
After picking up Miss NZT from the sane side of the family we headed out caching to grab some local caches before finding some lunch. This was a quick park, cross the road, and grab by Miss NZT. Lovely little marina here that we had never come across before, so decided to head to the park and complete some more caches to fill in a dot day on our calendar. TFTC!
 
18-Jul-15
Nice and simple on the way past. Great for beginners. Tftc
 
12-Jul-15
Yay, found after revisiting!

Mrs Sobad was out for a walk around the area with friends and their pooch. She was asking her host and hostess about Inga the Winger's connection to the area - and they were bemused. Then her hostess clicked - and pointed out.... The cache was a quick find because it was exactly where she thought it would be.
Thanks.

A fabulous day for a spot of caching with my sister (garball) and father (merlot47) in the area I grew up in, doing the walk for the Milford Marina multi and obviously had to find this one on the way past, we wouldn't be true committed cachers otherwise, this was our walk-by, loving reuniting with Milford, thanks for the hide rosmar.
#182

Long weekend so of course no issue with spending one caching! Went with my sister and dad (Casaba3 and Merlot47 respectively) do revisit the area we grew up in. A few changes! Found this cache while counting for the Milford Marina Revisited multi. Almost a drive by indeed although we were on foot. Thanks for the hide rosmar!
