No love for this Geocache, time to go?

Will look to submit another cache not far from here where there should be less mugglers...

Is this one still available?

Searched all over but just couldn't find this cache. Eventually gave up when a group of young muggles entered the area.

Whilst waiting for the smoke to dissipate from our home this evening, after Lady Winsome's slight kitchen mishap, we went out searching for a few temporal anomalies, successfully finding one [url=http://coord.info/GL6W4JXP]in Sunnyvale[/url]. A group of hooligans had interrupted [url=http://coord.info/GL6W4M13]the search at Don Buck Camp[/url], so we continued on here to Coroglen, only to find that a couple of teens were practically sitting on the site of this temporal anomaly. Torn by my mandate to avoid unnecessarily alarming the public, and the prospect of these youngsters disappearing into a temporal vortex, I though better of warning them of the danger they were in. Temporal anomalies can be fickle things, and they probably walked away quite unscathed after I had departed. Unfortunately, it has confined my anomaly finds to just the one for tonight. We'll be back later for another attempt at this.

7106 Tricky wee blighter… took a while before we spotted the nicely hidden cache in Coroglen, nice park, TFTC.

did some hanging around but didnt spot any thing hanging around;-)

Took way longer than it should have to find this one in its shiny new container - only to realise, as the blood drained from my body into the swarms of mozzies - that I'd forgotten my pen.

Well, one muddy stick later and I have vaguely scrawled "PNZ" on the top line of the new log. Future vistor - be grateful if you'd make it more permanent

Nicely hidden! (itch itch, scrath scratch!)

Have replaced the micro container.

I feel like such a muppet!!!! I dropped the log and bottom part of cache into under growth and could not locate, so sorry, it will need to be replaced.

Put the top part back in place

Sorry about my butter fingers!!

TFTC

See my log, Im such a muppet!

My first find

Not an easy one but found it after 15 minutes. Nice hide and nice little park.

TFTC

I was hanging out at Coroglen gardens, looked around for the hanging one - nope. On the list it goes

No luck for me today!

Tried this one once before but felt very exposed. Today I was getting a desk from just across the road so tried again with my son playing around. Nice wee hide. TFTC

I was out and about today, so dropped in with my boy to play in the park with his new tape measure.

Managed to quickly spot cache while measuring up a large tree.

Thanks for this one, not so many muggles about today.

Got this cache with ash while visiting a mate out west. Had enough clues to grab this one within 5 minutes of looking.

Called in to find The Def Pom hard at work. Cache was soon in their hands. Great effort by the new comers.
Very exposed site with the local houses.
Thanks for the Smiley
Cheers TT

Second attempt at looking foiled by couple of teenagers making out at GZ!

3rd time lucky! met another geochacher whilst we were looking, sorry forgot his name! Good to meet another person on a hunt!

Not so sure if it is easy, two of us spent about 15min looking, no luck

Busy spot with lots of people outside. Didn't get a chance to look.

my first time geocaching, at first didn't know what a nano was... so went back again after reading more on this site, found it and signed with my kids, I'm addicted!

It is time to go out West again today to pick up a few more caches. This was the twelveth for the morning.

Cheers for the cache.

8.15am. Had read the logs, so came early to avoid the muggles. No one around on this wet cold morning. A very quick find.
Thank you. David.

Took about 5 minutes before we eventually spotted the sneaky little cache. TFTC

Out with Gadget-tron for a walk in the Waitakeres.
This came up on route so we gave it a go.
We were about to give up when GT spotted the cache.
Great hide.
TFTC

Didn’t hang around too long in Coroglen... too many prying eyes.

I now know what a nano cache is!! Took a while to find. TFTC

Nicely hidden cache in a lovely place. No problems with the find and TFTC

Second time back to this one and about to give up again when I finally spotted it. Great little cache.

Arrived just on dark, and never had a hope with this one. Not sure why a nano in a tree needle in the haystack, all a bit vague somehow and quite exposed to the neighbours, might end up on the ignore list.

Took a while but persistence paid off. Glad to see the level of difficulty has been increased. TFTC.

Im not really a fan of these "needle in a haystack" hides and usually spend alot of time getting no-where. However, this was a quick find. Thanks.

3.45pm.Five minutes of searching had not produced any results other than a feeling of self-consciousness being out in a small park, surrounded by houses, standing on a seat, in light drizzle, when along came two people who obviously knew what we were up to.Evilno9 and Cachecrashers. It wasn't long after their arrival that Cachecrashers came up with the goods. I don't think we would have spotted it ourselves so many thanks!!

[8d] M&P.

Got it this time - good eyes from Vicki from The Cachecrashers and very nice to meet the Just Floundering team upon our arrival. Definitely a sneaky hide this one! TFTC

Last one for the day with Evilno9, we drove around the block trying to find a park, spotting a couple who seemed to be taking an unusual amount of time gazing where we thought GZ would be. It had started to rain, so no faffing around, we bowled up & joined the search. Ended up using my hands a lot more than my eyes... soon had the cache in hand. Sneaky little b*gger. TFTC.

Out and about out west. Parked close to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. After reading all previous DNFs we must have been lucky. Great hide, great cache T4TC.

found it after 3 goes guess it was not what I was looking for

Went and checked on this and all is well
extra hint..... When at GZ u will need to look up more than likely u will need to "step up"

No luck for me

The published co ordinates took me outside the park over the road to the footpath.no where near the seats???

I thought I would drop by for a quick cache on my way to my first 100.
But between people sitting on the footpath having breakfast and others washings cars and yet more visiting friends.
I had to give up as I felt rather exposed and surrounded by eyes watching my every move...as I sat in the park trying to blend in.
I will be back.I will bring a ball and some junior helpers next time.

No joy for us with this one. TWS showed up while angeshirl and I were already having a nosey but the extra eyes didn't help us today - will come back and try again another day

Nice como should have been easy but this is kevsteam and we need a big sign but we still got FTF
