Hi Glyn, you might want to check on this one, as the structure the cache was on has recently been replaced, so the cache looks to be gone.

Joined up with yorkshirekiwi83 on this hot summers day to do a bit of caching around Devonport and Takapuna. After researching the hint and part of the description, it wasn't long till we spotted something of interest and had the cache in hand. A nice hide! TFTC!

I googled the hint and worked out what it meant but couldn't work out where it was hidden. Checked a few places with no luck. I think this hide was just too clever for me today.
 
01-Oct-15
Staying nearby with family and having a great time - Been out for lunch and decided to take a walk a round the block. Got to the GZ and started looking around - got on the wrong track to start and then googled the hint- aha - so that's what it means SmileSmile Is it that - no! Is it this then - yay! there it is but now the hard bit SmileSmile Luckily I had my handbag SmileSmileSmile TFTC SmileSmileSmileSmile

Found one! yippie, thought I was loosing it? not sure why but the cache I looked for before this one, said I had 30m to go???? and a fence in my way. Must have been due to all this wild weather? no worries with the co-ords for this one. Thankfully I had already looked up a hint word, aha so that's what that means! Then it was a process of elimination. Hopefully no cameras filming, I could have some explaining to do Big Grin

Thanks for the hide, quickly found, took ages to extract from its hiding place!

Great hide. Took a few mins. Tftc

Was having dinner nearby and was a little early so decided to find a cache. Found a similar cache before but still took longer then it should have.

Love it!! Very cool hide. Tftc
 
08-Jul-15
Wanting a local cache as the day was booked up with school holiday activities in the morning and a certain well anticipated rugby test match scheduled for the afternoon. Knew this was here as had previously gone hunting but on checking logs discovered it was likely missing.
With nothing other than the hint went scouting for likely spots. With great relief came up with cache very quickly, considering its a well hidden micro. TFTC and challenge Smile
 
05-Jul-15
Gave it a go but no luck today. Will have to come back another time

Found it with some help from other geocachers!
 
29-Dec-14
A nice easy find, nice camo, on arriving muggles sitting nearby, sat around corner in a shaded spot, before I realized almost at GZ, understood clue, so was easily spotted, TFTC.
 
27-Dec-14
Really good hide!! Had us thinking Smile
 
27-Dec-14
The clue helps if you not what's it talking about. But good stash.
 
25-Dec-14
After a full belly from a pretty epic Christmas lunch, decided to go for a walk and find some caches to keep the turkey from putting me to sleep.

Third favourite worth cache in a row. Took a guess at what the clue meant and focused a lot of energy into the wrong item. Once I knew I'd checked every possible location, I gave up on it and read a few logs. Realised that someone else had done the same as me, so sat down and had a bit of a think where the cache could be hidden. A few moments later, had another idea where the cache could be and checked a few spots before my luck turned and the cache was revealed. Fantastic hide!!

This is a further cache found during our nice trip with a campervan trough New Zealand. Greetings from Germany and thank you for the cache.

Awesome hide. Log book full and metal. Was just about to give up lucky we didn't give up.
 
28-Sep-14
Well hidden
 
09-Aug-14
Been here before but it seemed totally unfamiliar...don't recall the hint and the area seemed different. Figured we must have been asleep last time or we were searching in the wrong area Red Face. Luckily it was a relatively easy find today, one more souvenir in the bag, cheers glyn
 
31-Jul-14
Teamed up with slieschke & FMZ to head north and get some very late night caching done before the flashing flash mob. FMZ as evil he can be initially blocked the retrieval of the geocache... TFTC
 
20-May-14
What better time to find this cache, than being here for a show. Came early to get a bite to eat before the show, so all quiet and it wasn't long before we cracked it. Excellent hide. So glad we did some research beforehand, made it that much easier. Anyway the comedy show was excellent too. SL. TFTC. Cool
 
11-May-14
Very clever hide. Found it after searching the wrong area. Once GPS settled it took us to GZ.
 
27-Apr-14
Great hide Smile

19-Apr-14

Clever little hide. Got it in the end though! Tftc!
 
05-Apr-14
Thanks for the cache clever hide
 
04-Apr-14
Kept staring at what I think it is but too many gardeners around. Maybe next time. TFTC.
 
29-Mar-14
Well done, took a long time to sort this one just as well it was late at night
 
29-Mar-14
11.35pm - Log sheet full and needs replacing.
 
22-Mar-14
Had a quick look on a lovely sunny day. Was lucky enough to find it with no muggles around. TFTC
 
22-Mar-14
My kids were taking part in the dragon boat competition today. Decided to take my youngest to find this. Didn't understand the hint, and focused way too long looking at the wrong object. Decided to give up, but returned with my husband, to see if what we were focusing on was the cache. He said no, so we looked in other places, using some previous logs for clues. Had decided to give up, and were walking away, when our son called out "found it". What a relief! Great camo and gets a favourite from us. TFTC
 
01-Mar-14
So surprised to found it so fast in the dark. Since the description says its a nano, we had a feeling that we gonna be a while here. But no! Its right at the GZ. G-2 camo container always put a smile in our face. Cant stop shaking our head and wonder how on earth he/she got an idea of that sort of geocache container!! Anyway, couldnt sign the logbook as its made of metal-ish materials... But ill post photo as proof! TFTC!!
 
18-Feb-14
So cool
 
14-Feb-14
Very ingenious! The first time we looked right at it and missed it. Perseverance paid off in the end
 
27-Jan-14
Out for some night caching on the North Shore with slieschke. This was the quickest find of the night - slieschke hadn't even finished the sentence "I'm sure I've been here before and couldn't find it" when I had it in my hand. Hadn't even read the cache page - lol. Just super lucky I guess. Great camo and placement. +1 fave. TFTC!!! Big Grin
 
27-Jan-14
"Nice to see you, to see you nice!"

Whoa, I had an extreme sense of deja vu here for some reason although I don't think I recall looking for this cache. If I remember correctly I was playing some other location based game. Anyway as I was having a memory crisis FMZ quickly made the find on this one. A very cunningly built cache, it certainly suits the location. Thanks!
 
19-Jan-14
hunted for aaaages, no such luck, couldnt figure the clue at all, maybe that tap thing??
 
17-Jan-14
Found it! Really great camo!

Great cache. Was out in the open but replaced where it should have been. Would have been hard to find otherwise.
 
27-Dec-13
Would have had fun searching for this one had it not been sitting on the bench.
 
03-Nov-13
This took me three attempts to find. Was driving me absolutely insane. Anyway, got there in the end. Thanks so much. Now I can sleep.
 
26-Oct-13
Caching around the area and as it was a quiet Saturday afternoon it was a good time ot do a few urban ones. no muggles around !! Another great camo...clever. TFTC
 
26-Oct-13
Out collecting a few caches while in town for the MEGA MEGA Smile This one made it to the smilies list - and I am wondering if this is my first 'glyn[the only one]' cache?? Excellent camo - what else would I expect?? Smile TFTC Cheers Fleur
 
10-Oct-13
Great cache - had NZBreakerMatt & I searching for a while after a nice lunch at Daikoku. Great hide, TFTC.
 
09-Oct-13
Glynn you honestly have the best arches, good camo, amazing effort put into this! Thanks for the cache Smile
 
24-Sep-13
First cache attempted in NZ and not a good start to my mission! Torrential rain damping my enthusiasm and GPS accuracy somewhat but I suspect I've been defeated by superior camo. TFTC anyway!
 
01-Sep-13
Day 2 of a weekend cache hunt with Geco72, focusing on Takapuna and surrounds. Last one of the day for us, another ingenious hide from G-2. TFTC.
 
01-Sep-13
Last performance day in Takapuna! Tricky hide...

Thanks for the cache!
 
01-Sep-13
After looking up what "ligneous" meant I soon figured out where the likely hiding spot was, and there was the cache. Nice camo Big Grin
 
25-Aug-13
Great hide, once you figured out the hint, it is easier, really enjoyed the cache after my market.
TFTC
 
14-Aug-13
Tricky tricky,but got there in the end. TFTC.
 
14-Aug-13
Was out caching with Ric today .....luckily for me he understood the hint .
It was still pretty trickier than it should have been to find ! Thanks so much Glyn !
Was awesome when Ric finally noticed something .......Very cool hide !
 
11-Aug-13
Glyn hides never fail to impress. Deciphered the clue and soon had the cache in hand. Very clever! TFTC! Smile
 
23-Jul-13
We had a fab lunch with the family at The Elephant Wrestler on our last day in Godzone, for six months anyway. While the rest of them hit the lolly shop, Mrs RW couldn't resist a last cheeky cache before we fly out, and this one was just round the corner. A crafty hide, excellent. Unfortunately, as caching hadn't been on the agenda, she had only her phone, no pen. Hopefully the attached pic with the log will suffice. TFTC!
 
07-Jul-13
My second day's caching in NZ this trip around North Shore Hospital where my mother in law is recovering, after a quick visit, leaving my wife, off to do some caching.

An easy find, have no idea what the clue ment, there is only so many places one can hide a nano. My last for the day, time to pick up my wife.
TFTC glyn

Amazing how crafty some people are tftc
 
25-May-13
(551) Nice hide and nice camo. Spent a couple of minutes searching for this one before Cache Hound nail it. TFTC
 
28-Apr-13
A clever hide that took a team effort to locate.

One team member to have a "failed" attempt and one other team member to realise what this meant!

Love the glyn hides!

Last cache for the day. Good camo with plenty of decoys. Needed this one to give Finds the majority for the day after missing every "wood" cache I tried to do Wink
 
22-Mar-13
A quick easy find, had an idea of where it would be but just a matter of getting it right. There were some young girls all dressed in black filming themselves on an iPad, and climbing all around, doing random dances and poses. Gave me something to watch whilst looking signing the cache, they were paying no attention to me. TFTC #56

Loved the clue!
