Winston's Walkway (Auckland) Glendowie, North Island, New Zealand

Hi jonoabby

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

Looked under plank 23. No luck.

I didn't find this one. Good spot, though

This is the correct result. DNF

Looked but didn't find

Found ages ago but forgot to log.

Searched high and low and could not find anything

Checked all planks counting 23 on two bridges but no luck!

Done

Not too hard follow the hint

Auch diesen haben wir an unserem letzten Tag in Neuseeland noch gefunden. Leider ist uns unser Schreiber abhanden gekommen, deshalb haben wir wieder versucht einen Fingerabdruck zu hinterlassen. Vielen Dank an die Owner fürs legen der Caches.

School cricket at local college, came here during a break. Recent logs helped, soon found. Signed at the bench, then replaced as found. Walked back through a herd of cows. TFTC

Found it, no pencil,coords about 10m out

Finally found this one!!

Took our lot a while to discover this cache as we think the canopy above may have been throwing off the accuracy of our location. Once we stopped trusting the device, we stopped the likely spot & viola! A deceptive wee cache. Thanks for hiding it for us to find. The container no longer has a lid, so if leaving a trinket, best make it waterproof

???

Found. Look under.

Took for ever. Found it in the end.

Caching today with TheMexikiwi and making the most of the summer sun at the same time.

Had expected this to be a tricky find based on previous logs, but I don't know if our approach was different to the others as we found this in the first place we looked. Coords were about 10 metres out for us today, but all good otherwise.

Nice spot - TFTC

We checked all three bridges. Both sides as well. Looked everywhere, not just plank 23.

?

Great spot, nice easy find. Thanks

Yasss! Found by geodaughter! Great hide!

Been a long day so sure this one is there. I shall return!

Took ages to find. Neither GPS would settle and didn't really help. After geowife looked through lots of logs the cache was soon in hand.

SPY Youth at it again!

Found easily

Really tricky this one

Found it 12/10/18

Clever Hiding spot

After a long week we thought we would take a smaller walk than we usually do and just collect a few caches so not to tire ourselves out anymore.To start with we by passed the gz as the gps seemed to be out so we then went back and spent a while at the wrong bridge counting out the planks after no luck here and reading some more logs we noticed another bridge.here we found that the hint helped alot and were then able to sign the log.havent spent that long searching for a cache for some time.feeling satisfied.

Thanks

Missed it on my first pass, but a closer look second time round soon spotted this sneaky hide, cheers

Bit wet..

Nice position... Actually there is a lot of animals inside thanks for cache

Paper was a bit sogey

This was quite a fun one to do... partly because as I walked along the path to GZ I saw a giant rabbit in someone's back yard. It was huge and very creative which I really appreciate. So once I arrived at GZ it took me a lot longer to find than I should have. I was interrupted part way through my search by a young lady out walking with an older lady... and they stopped on the path below to pray... the older lady was muslim and so seeing muslim prayer in action by an older lady was quite interesting to observe. So I sat quietly and when they moved on I resumed my search. Once I found the cache, I signed the log and put it nicely back in its spot all ready for the next finder. So thank you jonoabby for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC

A fun cache to find. Work along the bridge.

very amazingplace. found easily because of the hint after looking at that bridge! Great cache

Good find. Nice cool setting.

Takes a very thorough looking around that bridge!

Co-ordinates a bit off, but the hint helped tremendously! Tftc!

Really tricky but got it in the end!

the cache has no lit but looks otherwise okay.

Lost my pen when searching for another one. Didn't sign now but will come back later.

Didn't really understand the hint but after the second time coming to look I found it after checking the bridge thoroughly

Enjoyed this hide here. Coordinations bit of but after reading hint all was clear. But not that quick. I had to look there and there to get it. Well placed. TFTC

Would not have found without the hint. Was still tricky. Got it though.

This one was a bit of a challenge. Easy enough locating the hint. Wasn't sure how to get to the cache. Tried one end, wasn't there, tried the other, I freaked out because there was a mouse, so Michaelteacher had a look and eventually we got there. Tftc

Dnf but didn't look very hard

Found today as needed a DOT day cache, and being in the area went looking for cache that was not going to be watched by muggles....parked nearby and made the short walk to GZ....located the correct area and began the search and soon had the log signed and cache returned home.

TFTC.

No find for us today... Maybe next time.

Easy after reading the hint, thanks for the cache.

Tftc. Nice hint. Nicely hidden.

GPS coordinates were a little bit off but I managed to find it with the hint. The new logsheet put by TheCoblets is in good condition.

DNF

We located the cache quickly thanks to the hint but unfortunately found the container full of water and missing its lid with a very damp log inside.
We have tried to dry it out as much as possible and have put it in a new plastic bag. We have also added a new dry waterproof log which will hopefully last a bit longer.
GZ was reasonably deserted but we had to pause our activities briefly as a couple of muggles jogged past.
This is a lovely spot, thanks for bringing us here.

With a few hours to kill whilst Miss Davieland was at her gymnastics class, it was a perfect time to be outside in the sun collecting caches. Nice quick find. TFTC.

Searched the place where gpls located for long time. Read few previous logs and understod the coords were out and then the search was easy with hint and soon the cache was in hand. TFTC

The GPs was playing hooky with us at first sending us above, even though Mrs wolf had pointed out the location on the way up to above... the above made the clue pointless of course so eventually we returned to the one that made sense to us.. and sure enough it was found in exactly the spot MR had just installed a cache that day in another location.. The lid has come off but the log is dry.

In the area for the afternoon and collecting a few caches.

Final cache of the day and a quick one at that!

#5680

Enjoyed the walk through here - some really nice gardens along the stream. TFTC.

Never been here before.
Found it quickly using geo experience.
Tftc

Cache is holding up quite well considering the state of the poor thing. Put it back so that the structure hold the lid in place. Could do with a bit of TLC. TFTC

I followed my GPSr and got to a spot that didn't look like there were any good hiding spots. I saw a few of the older logs mentioning that the coordinates were off, so I used that info and the additional hint, and got to where the cache was hidden. Lid is detached, but container is still holding up alright. I'm adding some coordinates that I took at the spot. Thanks for the hide!

its Great

We tried to find this as a family earlier in the year but didn't have any luck. I went right to the correct spot when I first got there today and didn't find it, spent about another wasted 10 minutes looking around further up the path and by the other bridge before going back and looking again in the same spot and seeing it straight away... #159

Not the 23rd plank, not magnetic but found it! We are trying to put it back as a magnetic and under the right plank.

Found it but clues didn't make any sense. Not magnetic as it was in a plastic bag. Have put the plastic bag in magnetic case and put it back nearer to the clue.

Forgot to mention that we looked under the wrong bridge for 10minutes before realizing there is another bridge close by!!!

Thanks for the cache I parked in a nearby street then walked down to GZ. counted the numbers to find no cache so then looked in the place I would hide it and bingo cache in hand.

Despite reading the previous logs, we could not locate this cache. Resorted to PAF, and soon after located the well hidden cache.

The GPS coordinates are about 15m off and the hint is a little old, but still close enough to help out!

Our last cache in this fantastic park. Having read the previous log we ignored the hint and Pazzabella made a quick find.

A stunning walk through here with the beautiful garden work the residents have done along the stream . Also look out for the residents fairy garden, it's a sight to see Cache needs tucking well into bag because lid is very loose. tftc

Out with my son for some fresh air and caching in a local park that I had never heard of before which turned out to be awesome. The hint doesn't help much anymore as the cache wasn't located there but slightly further but still under . I replaced the bag it was in as it was ripped. TFTC!

Searched for a while in the plsces suggested by other logs.No luck here.

Unfortunately after a bit of look couldn't find. Will try another time.

Looked for 10 mins, couldn't find it

Found it

The second and last one for us today. The coordinates are a little off. And the cache was put into a bag and the position was changed away from the spot you would image from a magnetic one. But it is close enough.

TFTC (kaitaingeo, krümelgeo, me)

Spent a hot summers day with yorkshirekiwi83 caching around the Glendowie area. We hunted around a bit without success, before backtracking to the most obvious spot and coming up with the cache. TFTC!

On a numbers mission and Vistra decided to join me to grab some for the day, coords placed it further up the hill in an unlikely spot, dropped back down and soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Aha, this looks a likely spot and there it was. Tftc

Once I read the logs, I knew where to look. Rather than trying to figure out which end to start counting, I just dove in and spotted the cache. I don't know what the attachment method is meant to be, so the CO may want to check on this cache to see if it is OK. TFTC.

Counted planks,got cache.No pencil. Tftc.

P was hesitant to get his hands dirty so A found this one. Watch out for spiders!

Forgot to mention that our gps coords were also off by about 10m.

Found it and picked up my first trackable, yay! TFTC

Found, and dropped off trackable.

Quick find awesome area tftc

Nice late sunny afternoon walk around a park we have never visited before. Thanks for bringing us here. took a little looking. Cache in need of some TLC. TFTC

Container could do with being replaced please.....

Good quick find while walking in Churchill Park thanks .....

Finally found it. Gps is few meters away and cache was not replaced where it was supposed to be (23)...with the kids help we finally found it and swapped a toy

Cool hiding place, but it wasn't exactly magnetic though.

Hard find for some easy for others . Dylan and josh

5th find of the day, a great way to spend Queen's Birthday weekend! TFTC.
