As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Passed today, no sign of the cache.

No response to recent or past needs maintenance requests and owner has not logged into the site for over a year,
 
18-Feb-15
Placing this to alert the reviewer as a cleanup is in progress, appears this should be disabled.
 
18-Feb-15
Sorry taken longer to get down here to report on this one than I expected, hoping to get there within a week, maybe less. Looks like it has gone, as owner is not maintaining it seems likely it will be archived, by a reviewer if necessary.

Greetings from Denmark
Today we went from Upper Hytt to Dannevirke to spend my birthday.
We started out the day with an 4 hour walk. Underway to Dannevirke we did a few stops and had some caches.

NO find here
 
16-Feb-15
Poked around a lot but no luck
 
07-Feb-15
Had a hunt around but couldn't locate - save it for another trip
 
23-Jan-15
Allthough we searched hard, we didn`t succeed finding this one Sad.
 
23-Jan-15
The owner is no longer active so unless someone finds it in the next week or so I will take a look to see if the cache is still there and if it's missing will file needs maintenance/needs archived as needed. If it is there I will replace the log.
 
22-Jan-15
We looked for this one at the start and end of our walk, but couldn't find the goods. The GPS was all over the place and the hint didn't help, so we abandoned the search. Never mind; the area is gorgeous so I dare say I'll be back before long - with reinforcements, who will hopefully have better caching mojo than I did today.
 
20-Jan-15
The hint was a little bit misleading, and the coords not to precise, but still we found it on tour around GC46.

08-Jan-15
Found today, just putting cache back and park ranger saw us and asked what we were doing and we said we were geocaching, he said he knew about the oldest cache but he thought that was the only one in the park.
Quick find but didn't sign because there was no more room.

We searched some caches in Wellington. This was one of them. Thanks!

During our drive up to Auckland we used this cache to stretch our legs. Easy find.

Found this one today. I am using this cache for a distance challenge cache. It took ages to locate this one and I was about to give up when I found it. Signed log today.

Thanks for the cache.
 
28-Dec-14
Log book completely soaking cannot write in it.
 
28-Dec-14
Easy find after a little bit of a search - wif Bigcheese & Sian. Log book soaking wet - couldn't write name will attach photo for proof. TFTC.
 
28-Dec-14
I was out this way trying to locate a nemises cache deeper in the valley and thought I could do with the exercise to come and get this one. I had tried for it before but couldn't find it. This time I looked in the obvious place and made a quick find. There was no TB in the cache. TFTC
 
27-Dec-14
#252. This should have been easy. But a "boy look" at the obvious site failed to reveal anything so we spread our search out further, after waiting several times for muggles to pass by. Eventually a recheck of the obvious site and oh dear, there it was... Only just had it signed and replaced when our caching friends from Auckland arrived after visiting several other nearby sites. Of course they found it immediately!! TFTC.
 
27-Dec-14
Down from Auckland for Christmas and had arranged an afternoon of geocaching with Uncle Sam who was also down from Auckland for Christmas.

Had previously meet GSEL and they had raced ahead of us as we had a couple of other caches of interest in the area.

We approached GZ just as they finished replacing he cache. Mr NZTravellers and UncleSam were relying to much on their GPS's and it was Mrs NZTravellers that came up with the goods much to the embarrassment of GSEL that had spent a long time locating this.

That's all the fun isn't it. We have all been in that position of "Oh yeah that was an easy find" and I've spend HOURS with no luck Smile

Great hide.

After finding the old man nearby, we continued our hike to visit the younger ones. We had a little rain, but we loved the hike very much. As stated earlier, the log is wet ...! Thanks. Regards, paroja from the Netherlands.

It would seem the cache owner is no longer active. The container is fine just has dirt in the seals letting the water in. It really needs a new logbook and a clean so that it can be shut properly.
Was a perfect day to walk in the bush nice and sunny and protected from the wind.
 
29-Nov-14
This log is very wet & difficult to record in. Sorry I didn't have a spare with me TNLNSL
 
23-Nov-14
Last time we were here we didnt find it. Today no problem at all! Out for a walk around this interesting area. TFTC

We enjoyed the little walk in this area. Sure, we were not here for walking. We wanted to visit the oldest active cache in NZ. The 3 tradi on our way shortened the time and were also nice.

Picked up this cache after finding GC46. A nice little walk back to the car park through the trees. It was a beautiful spring day for a walk. GPS was a little bit out for us but the cache didn't take too long to find. Thanks for the cache and the smiley.

Got an opportunity to relocate a campervan from Christchurch to Auckland. With 5 days up my sleeve what better excuse, than to go find some geocaches along the way. Targeting certain caches along the way to help with the geo licence series in Auckland, so not a full on numbers mission, but managed around 70 finds over the 5 days. Thanks everyone for the placements.

Wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to drive pass the oldest cache in NZ, so made a slight detour to enjoy this walk and the geocaches on it. Lots of people out today, but enough gap between them to not interfere with searching for caches. No troubles with the find here, with not to much alluring as sights firmly set on GC46. TFTC.
 
06-Sep-14
This one took us the longest to find than the others, maybe it was the previous logs! had a few muggles pass us by, surprised how many people were out in the rain. A well maintained track, that only had a few patches of mud and puddles. Luckily we shared the umbrella. A relief to find, another damp log, which we were able to sign. Thanks for another clever hide. Big Grin

We stayed nearby last night, and set out this morning to find the oldest cache in the country. Naturally we had to stop for the caches along the way. We enjoyed our walk along Gum Tree Loop, and Alluring was a quick find. Thanks.

Cache was rather exposed and clearly visible from the track. Log book was also a sodden lump of mush, so I dropped a replacement log in. Really enjoyed the walk in this area. TFTC.
