By Nomis23 on 25-Apr-10. Waypoint GC27D0C

Hi there-cache is going to be archived to make way for someone else who may want to put one is this area. Thanks Nomis23

Doesn't look like the CO is much interested in the situation with this cache.

Sorry all for lack of maintence-loss of email means i wasn't in the loop in terms of the cache's situation. Will attempt to re-post

Has this been muggled? Spent an hour rummaging through the bush & couldn't find it. Found 2 birds nests & thought it was hidden in one of those going by the hint, but no.
Used the photo and clues for reference.

Mmmm, took quite a look, followed the description and clue, came up with nothing.
That happens.
TFTC

Had a decent look here and found what seemed like a good hint object but couldn't find it today. Will try again another time.

What a nice neighborhood. Quiet with nothing but sounds of birds chirping. Tftc!

Nice quick one on a beautiful sunny morning.
cheers V

Tftc

Thought I would have another try for this one. Took me a few minutes. Was focusing on the wrong type of hint.

Expanded my search and soon found it. Glad to have this one off my list

TFTC

Didn't take the kids long to find this one!

Reperio at 1505 with Albida33 and Sol de lune.

After attending the mega event this morning, we decided to head out for a few caches this afternoon. After grabbing 'Long Drive', it was on to this one just up the road...and this one too proved to be a speedy find.

Gratias Nomis23.

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 16, In Auckland Region, Northshore. NZ Mega Auckland Day 1 then caching with Sol de Lune and Marcus Vitruvius. There was no long drive needed for this one, just a scramble in the scrub on the roadside. Thanks.

After a morning around the Mega site, Marcus Vitruvius, Albida33 and myself headed out this way to grab a few caches. No problems with this one and all was good.

Thanks for showing some visiting Aussies the area and for the cache....

Very easy. Found cache with Rediguana while in Auckland for the NZ Mega TFTC

Very quick hide. Cache is damp, and is the wing tour of container for this hide in Auckland
Cheers Gav

Quick find an this great Sunday. TFTC

Nice little hunt ... Took longer then it should have. TFTC!

A bit wet inside the cache sadly. Trackable MIA. Spent a lot of time inside the bush before making use of the photo to solve the location.

5523. We are up for the week at a Social Justice conference at the Manukau Event Centre. Today we were both free in the morning so took a drive out to St Heliers for coffee with our nephew and his wife. After a delightful time spent at the coffee shop we decided to do a few caches on the way back to our camping ground.Took very little searching before the container was found and logbook signed. The area was very wet and slippery but there were no mishaps like yesterday's! Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Found this nice little park, nice drive by cache here

Nice little reserve and an easy find on our way to the Parade and the next bus stop. TFTC

#551 Came down from Long Drive to find this wonderful spot with cmat068. Dingle Dell Reserve is beautiful- must come back when the weather is a bit better and it's not so wet underfoot. Great picnic spot! Cache found quickly but is very damp- even silica sachets are soaked so could do with a new, waterproof container. TFTC!

I found it! Was looking at another tree for a while though! Haha

Handy cache while I was in the area. Got spiked by something while putting cache back, so watchout for spiky things if you're looking for this cache.

Hooray took my nannying kids who were so happy to find it. They left and earring and took a toy ball.

Out with Move Star today to add to her cache count. No trackable in this cache today [?] cache is very very wet inside, don't think this is a waterproof container & I forgot to bring another one with me. We dried it out and disposed of the wet log book (sorry but it was water logged and unreadable) put in some silicon sachets and put a new log sheet in a plastic bag and left some trading goodies. TFTC

Log book soaked in need of waterproof container. Nice spot though tfc.

Pretty easy find! Logbook very damp inside.

Found it! Log book is a bit wet!

Bit water damaged and lacking a pen, but still worth a find in this lovely park. TFTC.

Weird to find a cache with a damp logbook after soooo long without rain. It has rained today, but I doubt its come from that. Love the name of this park tftc

Quick ride-in (by bike).
Signed the log and back on the ride...
Cheers!

Quick find while caching in the area. TFTC

Cache appears to have suffered some 'creep'. Have replaced in line with coords and hint. TFTC

Lovely walk to find this one. Great hills to keep fit. Another one done.

I'm not sure if it's where it was originally hidden - wasn't quite where I expected and the natural camo looks too fresh to have be placed in 2010. Cache and log wet.

Needed a cache with this Difficulty/Terrain ratining for the GEO Licence challenge, so headed over this way. Didn't take too long to find.
TFTC

After a successful find on Nomis23's other cache I had to visit, it would have been rude not to. The cache was located after a few minute search. It was a bit damp but the log was still signable. I love the name of this reserve. Dingle Dell sounds a bit farcicle. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find while in the area picking up some solved puzzle caches. TFTC

Another nice day of Caching in Auckland. Thanks for the hide

Nice quick drive-by. A beautiful sunny day so decided to take the afternoon off to find a few caches...sure beats working. Took 'NZ Teeshirt' TB. TFTC.

Quick find. Cache was exposed [poss. due to recent weather] so made sure to re-cover.
Neat hide - tftc

Found it no sweat. Tftc.
In: nz teeshirt tb. Out: blue snake.

Couldn't fing the supposed geocoin

Needs serious maintenance. It's like a bath in there!

Was making my way around Auckland today cleaning up a few caches as I managed to get another weekend stay over in Auckland.

After finding GC27Y5E - Long Drive, Small Cache (St Heliers), after finding this cache, I decided that I would go and find this cache, decided that I would drive down Fern Glen Road North and then park on Dingle Road. Was looking at parking a bit closer but decided not to as I really didnt want to block the road.

After a short walk back to GZ, and as I was walking towards GZ I soon noticed the hint object that was too far away, arriving at GZ I managed to find the cache in the first spot that I looked, was glad that it didnt take me too long to find this cache, thanks for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this interesting spot. TFTC TNLNSL (4794), now where did I park the car, oh yes that right, I parked it around the corner.

Fun with the kids.

Cute note book.

No trackable coin found today

#795, Quick find, Cache is quite wet. TFTC

Shot out in my lunchbreak to find this one as i needed a cache to fill a blank spot on the calendar. Parked just across from GZ and made a quick find. Its very boggy on the approach to the cache after all the rain recently. A cool pocket of bush in the middle of suburbia that ill need to come back and explore another time. TFTC!

Parked right beside it. Tftc

Nice easy find on the way home from work. A little damp inside. TFTC.

The noisy muggle kids around the corner didn't suspect a thing

A quick little cache on the edge of an amazing, somewhat hidden urban park. Cache is a bit damp inside. TB out.

Found it pretty easy. Needs to be dried out thought. Have taken out sheep tb. In aids foundation bracelet

Found it

Nice easy find. Left TB Sheep Star who is attempting to get to UK.

Terrible easy to find. It was out in the open. Cacheowner need to find a more suitable spot for this cache.
I don't understand why it is a 2,5 star terrain as it is just next to the grass.

A fairly easy find on our way back to the beach. Dropped off trackable jeep.

Grabbed it once I got off the road. No need to head up the corner.

Looking for a TB Black Phantom Tetra, left in a cache and not logged by "noddyuknz" sometime after 18th February 2012. Have you seen it?

Was easier than first envisaged. Found in the dark and recovered as best we could. TNLN TFTC

An early start to the day with this cache. Everyone still asleep and the tui's singing...........lovely! Swapped TB's. TFTC.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Quick find this Sunday morning. Cache was very exposed, but tried to rehide it.

TB out, Kiwi TB in.

Walked down through the dell - lots of humidity, cicadas & Tuis, a great little piece of rainforest in the burbs. Cache was a bit exposed but tried to add a bit more natural camo. T4TC

Nice spot.
Amore dropped off

Drove to the ANZAC Cache rather late at night. Got out of the car as quietly as possible and headed for GZ. Relieved to make a quick find and headed back up the road. Thanks.

Quick find on a miserable morning. Took tb to keep it moving

I had been almost past this cache once before, however at that point I was in a hurry home, so didn't get a chance to grab it!
Decided today, seeing as I had an hour to kill after I finished work, and before my mate came over, to do a bit of a quick wonder to grab some caches.

This one was the second on the wee mini - trip.
I thought that with what was infront of me, it would be very difficult, and I can imagine not being able to find it in the night, simply by walking past it 20 times!

But today, the obvious cover - up made a super easy find.

Dropped GC

TFTC!!

Solid cache to add to the collection for the day. TFTC SL TNLN

Quick find in a quiet street, just the way I like them, TFTC

Found it! Nice easy find. TFTC!

Nice and easy. I found a Canadian geocoin trakable and look forward to placing it.

A friend visitng NZ dropped my coin off for me. He is pretty sure it is at this cache. Hopefully someone grabbed/will grab it and send it on more travels.

Day out caching led us to this cache. Quick find, TFTC.

Quick find while cashing in the area. TFTC.

more 'nature study' in another nice park. Thank you.

A lovely park hidden away. Thanks Nomis23

Nice cache boys loved it no trackables present.

Find #793. The second on the bikes today, heading down to Saint Heliers Bay, and then west along the waterfront. We had fun zooming down Fern Glen Road towards the cache, and being early morning, there wasn't much traffic which made it even better! A bit of a easterly in the air with an overcast sky, but overall, the weather wasn't nearly as bad as predicted.

We slowed to a halt on the road and then stood the bikes up in anticipation of a quick search. The cache was easily located however so no search required. SL TFTC.

Nice hiding spot. Took geocoin canada bear.

Dropped off TB. TFTC

Been a while since we cached. But as I was here for the Rugby World cup I thought I should do at least one cache. This one was close to where I was staying. Go Springboks. TFTC.

Where is it, cant see it anywhere. OH I am standing right by it

TFTC. Nice stroll to locate this. Nice park in peaceful area.

Nice hide, very muddy after all today's rain! Left a trackable behind and took the travel bug. TFTC

In the area dropping some tools off for a work mate so decided to make the most of a sunny day. Great hiding spot TFTC

A quick find with Crystal Fairy on an afternoon's caching in the area. Signed log, TFTC.

Quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache. Did with agcnz on a weekend caching spree.

Found during our expedition to find Dinosaus but forgot to log the visit when we got back to Wellington

Also left the keys trackable but understand this has since moved on.

Nice Cache and our first in and around Auckland

TFTC

Dingle dell park is where the company that I work at always use after the round the bays. Good place for a relaxing talk and BBQ

I remember a few years ago coming up to the sharp bend this cache is on and yes you guessed it a coach right across the road bottomed out. They had to use a couple of large tow trucks to get it off lol

I had just found the Long Drive cache and was on my way to another solved puzzle cache nearby when I noticed that this one was on the way. A quick stop and hop across the road to find the cache. Nice one! TFTC, Biggles.

Lovely cache, nice logbook and nice park !
Go plant some more in there!
Thanks

Quick find. TFTC. Took Bremen GC.
