Container has been removed by bridge owner as bridge will be demolished soon.

Geocaching HQ Admin: Container has been removed by bridge owner as bridge will be demolished soon.

Visited today and not sure if the cache has been replaced or not. Perhaps disable the listing if it hasn’t been replaced yet...

Went to check on cache and replace logsheet and found location of the previous cache no longer able to support the container. Have thought of a new site nearby and will look to re-instate shortly.

Had a reasonable search Even had a quick look under the old structure at one end but no result A nice old relic

Looked extensively and could not find

DNF today.

Did not find today

YAY! Tftc

I found this a few weeks ago but couldn't get my pen to work. Was passing again today so stopped in to sign the log (which is full and needs replacing). TFTC

Lovely wee bridge this one, and the stream was on full flow from the recent heavy rain. Junior one exactly where to look, no need for a hint on this one! Great hide, Tftc.

Submitted via Garmin Oregon 7xx

Cool hide

Nice spot. Not so quick find. TFTC

Great hiding thanks!

Wow, what a neat old bridge! I wandered over after picking up the nearby lego cache. Found the cache in an obvious (to me at least) place when my GPS read 0m, so very accurate coordinates. Signed and replaced. TFTC

Tftc. Log needs replacing though

This was a reasonably quick find this time. Last time I visited this cache I spent about 15 minutes searching with no joy. TNLNSL. TFTC!!!

Sorry for the late log. Found this a while ago while out with Bigcheesenz.
TFTC. 14/08/16 11:46 AM

The log sheet has filled up and needs replacing.

No problems finding this. The state of the timbers gives some cause for concern - I hope the local council is monitoring it closely. The log sheet is full so I signed under The Wandering Dragons. NM logged. TFTC

Fun hide - had a bit of trouble extracting, but otherwise all good. Dear cachers - please do not risk your life trying to find this one...you don't need to walk any planks!

Found by daughter

Found it but very risky placing a cache in rotten wood over the river

Found it. Safe and sound

Caching my way back down South
TFTC.....nicely done

Looked and looked but couldn't find. There was one place that looked promising, but i kept slipping, so i considered that a big dangerous on my own and gave up. Another time.

Dropped a trackable

Stopped the car on our way back from a day trip to Greytown from Wellington at what looked likely as a geospot! We DNF one round the corner but regrouped with ice creams and found this one back nearer the car. A lovely spot so thank you!

Thanks

Have to be super sneaky for this one! The log paper is filled up by the way

Nice little hiding spotted we found pretty quickly. Neat bridge. Road very busy today everyone heading home after a long weekend. Tftc

Found on a cycle ride from Melling through to Featherston. We have looked for this cache on numerous occasions and were pleased to finally get there. With the stream gurgling below and the old buttress bridge, a very pleasant spot. TFTC

Spent the the day in Kaitoke Regional Park with a lot of caches and great impressions of natural beauty. Thanks

TFTC TNLN SL

Loved this one!

Thanks great time hunting this one

A great hide in a lovely spot. Well worth a favourite point. Thanks very much! I took the travelbug.

Our third attempt! Well hidden. Great location. TFTC

Found with help from a friend! Really had to feel around a bit.

Found with GBNZ and Glad-NZ. Cache is in good shape. TFTC.

Missed this one first time I visited. This time had NZ1 and GBNZ to helped as we took a quick look on our way past back from another cache and hey we're onto it quick smart. GLAD to get this one ticked off. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache.

Like the hiding spot! Good size cache for where it's hidden. Found in the dark with LCBuilder Dropped off an owl

Didn't take long to track down the cache! TFTC

Just gotta be thorough

Took a second attempt but found.

Beautiful spot

Note to owner: Logbook is Full

Cool hiding place, took fishy pin, left glow in the dark stars

Wanted to find a cache today as it was a dot day, but didn't have much time to spare so we wanted one that looked like it would be quite quick and was on our way to Upper Hutt for shopping. Read a few previous logs and it sounded like it would do very nicely. When we reached GZ there was nobody around and once in the right place I started to check potential hiding locations. Didn't take very long to come up trumps, then as I straightened up with the cache in hand Mrs B alerted me to the fact that a cyclist had appeared from the direction of the Dairy. We quickly moved off the bridge to let him through, signed the log and then returned the cache as found without any further muggles appearing. Glad to finally get this one done: I've been passing along the road most days for over two and a half years without stopping for a look! TFTC

A quick find but took much longer to replace the cache as a young mother with 2 little kiddies had a great time watching the water go by beneath. I wondered whether they were waiting for all the water to run out but they finally moved slowly on. Great old bridge that I hope last much longer. TFTC!

Fortified by a Devonshire Tea, I decided to give this one a go. Hope I found the right balance between concealment and extract-ability when I replaced the cache! TFTC.

#1182. An interesting old bridge. Hope it holds together. Starting to look a bit worn out. Had to read the hint and description to figure out where this one was hidden. Then spotted some likely hiding spots and soon had fingers on the cache. But took quite a bit of careful effort to extract it from its clever hiding spot. Signed the log. All dry and OK. Cache returned as found. Took some photos of the bridge and river. TFTC

After failing to find this cache on a previous visit, we found ourselves in the area again today, and decided to have another look, this time with success, in a place we thought we had looked last time. A raging torrent flowing beneath the bridge today. TFTC

Found it! What a gorgeous spot.

Great spot

An interesting bridge, but finding the cache defeated us today.

A clever spot to hide a cache! TFTC

Tftc took the travel bug mex1gk will probably end up in a Petone cache

Thanks, nice spot, took trackable mex1gk left badge

Easy find. Brought back a lot of memories as I went to school nearby. Took geocoin but left tb. Thanks.

Took a bit of searching, but found within 5 minutes. Nice stream down below. Very picturesque.
Took dice, left bracelet.
TFTC

Quick find while out about today, great location. Left geocoin.

A nice location. Muggles come within cemtimetres of the cache but do not know it is there. Muggles were not a problem today.

I suspect that this bridge was once the main road north but have no evidence.

TFTC.

Out on bike ride over some remote trails, finding some caches along the way. TFTC.

Awesome lil pozzie ya had me walking all over the side planks BE CAREFUL fellow treasure hunters, couple loose pieces of wood

never stopped here before thanks for bringing us to this cool spot unfortunately dobby cant swim because of the alge. but the blackberries were delicious.

Out on a bike ride. Tricky extraction but luckily we had a pair of small hands to assist. TFTC.

A bit of lateral thinking and found it in 5mins. Happy No2 off the list

Found this one with Gizzyboy68. Bit tricky but found it eventually. Very relieved when we found it. The clue was very good and made it simple to find once you got it.

My friend laid her hand on this first. Found when off on days caching to Wairarapa with friend. TFTC

TFTC

Love the way they have kept the old bridge around the new. Great spot and thanks for bringing us here. Tftc.

Great clue. Lucky grab?

A very clever wee hiding place. There is no way that this one will be discovered by accident. Took travelbug to continue its journey. TFTC

My 63rd cache! What a clever hiding spot, nobody could possibly find that one by accident. A quick one. Dropped off a Trackable that wishes to be by the water. Thanks for this!

Quick stop off on my way to the Wairarapa to collect my little geocaching sidekick Princess-Emily. Found after a brief search. What a beaut little spot. This is why I enjoy caching when brought to quaint locations like this one. Cache in good order. TFTC

Found while out geocaching with the humfreeze, TFTC.

Found with the 3bears

good for small hands

We went to this a few days ago. I am just logging now. I remember finding this one with Dad a few months ago

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice hide water bit dirty today

TFTC. Must be a good swimming hole

Finding caches on way to catch the ferry. Nice day today. TFTC. Good hide

Clever hide on this one and picturesque perspective too.
Cache in order; log signed, then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

3rd and final find of the day. GPS had a bit of a wander, but found it in the end. Picked up a Jeep TB. Thanks

I love this old bridge. never knew it was here. TFTC

Cache # 1,592 - with the bad weather coming in this afternoon, decided that before work was the time to grab my cache for the day. Somehow got it stuck in my head that I was looking for a nano here, and had no luck for a little while. Then saw it was "small" and that limited the options. Soon had cache in hand after that. All signed and tucked back away, without any sighting of muggles at all. TNLN. TFTC!

Our 100. Turned around at the shop, bought an Ice cream to celebrate then looked (thought we may have put the kiss of death on it!). Reminded the young fella of the hint and he was straight there. Amazing! Thank you

Quick find on a lovely afternoon for the geo-kid and geo-spouse. TFTC.

Searched several hint items before coming up trumps. TFTC

First on the new log. Had to come back twice to avoid muggles. TFTC

Had to come back because muggles were loitering. Found once we understood the clue.

New logsheet

Nicely tucked away in a location which is VERY safe. Log sheet full, but space around the edges.
