Scout Hall Hideout (Papakura) Papakura, North Island, New Zealand
By 1stPapakuraVenturers on 10-Jun-10. Waypoint GC2A1BY

Cache went missing due to tree works in the area

This needs to be removed.

This needs to be removed.

Sadly the container was gone and we managed to find a few bits and bobs scattered on the ground. Have placed what we could find in a plastic bag and hid them in the V of the nearest tree covered by a few sticks.

See previous note

There has been a bit of recent work here - topping trees down and the area was cordoned off.

Looked and looked but no joy. Muddy & slippery.

Easy to fine on a foggy saturday morning.

Distance from original: 101.2 feet or 30.8 meters.

Cache relocated, no longer necessary to climb over the orange temporary fencing to reach it.

TFTC

Path still blocked but its no big deal to climb over the barrier to grab cache. owner might want to think about shifting cache's location [8]

Hi Guys

I've been advised by one of your caches neighbours that the council is going to be removing all the big trees along the walkway very shortly. I suggest that you relocate this cache before it gets destroyed/lost when its home is removed.

Cheers

TFTC - others notes made it an easy find - Pamphlet & some trades in the cache

Path was closed but climbed over anyway, quick cache. Thanks

Found it while visiting next door TFTC TNLN

Easy find TFTC

easy find,nice park

No problems with this one. As noted in other logs avoided / ignored the fence and made for GZ. Not sure where the 'other side' they want you to walk on would actually be?? Somewhere very muddy I think. TFTC, Biggles.

Thought we were going for third dnf in a row but broadened the search closer to the orange step over fence and had a log to sign. NINO TFTC

Great find, other logs were very helpfull; )

Like the previous cacher I too had to jump (or actually step) over the orange fence.

Cheers for the cache.

Quick find!! Had to jump orange fence... haha Great Cache

Well hidden for the difficulty. TFTC

our very first cache as a couple! bit of a mission navigating the now sunken footpath in the rain! TFTC

Got it without falling, got to be a bonus, TFTC

Found with my children. In: Yo-yo TNSL. TFTC

Climbed over the obviously semi-recently erected orange "keep out" barrier to easily find the cache safe. Bonus was I didn't fall down the hill into the mangroves

Together with womi I simply had to visit a Scout base. Nice cache, although we shouldn't have crossed the fence... Work's not finished yet there! TFTC, v.c.

A scout-cache at last! I'm also owner of a scout-cache and I really enjoyed that one. Unfortunately I haven't met NZ-Scouts during our stay!

Thanks for bringing me here

Yours in scouting/geocaching

Hurdled the orange plastic "keep out" barrier and snapped the orange container. Very quick find. No workmen around. TFTC.

This was really a quick one.
Some work is still being processed on site, at least there is a temporarily "men at work" barrier just before GZ. The container is safe, so far.
TFTC!

Lots of work going on here. Took a while but got it in the end. TFTC

NZ11. Apart from the track being closed right at GZ this was quick simple find. Thanks.

Headed south with the Future Finder today for a family visit. Stopped off on the way to collect a few caches. I used to live in Papakura and regularly went for runs around this trail. Of course, the track is a super highway today--it was a dirt rootbound affair slowly falling into the mangroves in my day. Anyway, an easy find today as the cache was a little exposed. An orange Tupperware container! I haven't seen one of these in years. Returned the cache with it's camo. Cheers for the cache!

After I searched a little closer to stream, the cache was easily found. Thanks

Found on the way home from a weekends caching trip to the big bad city.

found without falling into the tide. last cache for the dayas it is getting late and still have to get home , This was # 19 for the day on a trip from Tauranga . took a bit of time out from driving . TFTC

Nice quick find - just how I like them lol! TFTC

TFTC, easy to find, know the area well.

A massive branch had recently fallen off a nearby gumtree blocking my path to the cache.
Even so it didn't take long to find and log this one. Left signature eraser and TB. TFTC.

Wrote the wrong date in the logbook, oops. TFTC

Fortunatly no scouts around this evening to hinder the hunt. TFTC

Don't know why, but haven't done this earlier. So found it now time to this easy cache in Papakura.

Quick easy find for the team.First one of the year. Mr Dandh did lose his footing getting cache but didn't go into the drink.

^ Wandered past it twice but finally found it!

Easy find after the hubby getting sap all over himself as he went to the wrong tree )

Out for an afternoon caching trip with FMZ and our new friend, beat.meier. Quick easy find - not sure the value of the tide being in or out . TFTC!!!

Out for an afternoon caching with 10centcoin and our friend, beatmeier, introducing him to geocaching. Nice quick find here, and dropped a geocoin for the next visitor. TFTC!!!

Out for an afternoon geocaching with funkymunkyzone and 10centcoin who introduced me into geocaching. Quick easy find!

TFTC Team effort with flight risk & akafoolish.

A fellow scout managed to find this one. Nice place for a scout den. TFTC

A very quick find after parking nearby. I'm involved with Rovers in Australia so it was good to see a scouting hide. TFTC!

Found quickly in the rain. Spotting the carpark entrance was a little more difficult. Two caching U turns were required.

What a great place to have a Scout den!

Nice easy find. good spot.
TFTC

Good spot, careful footing required

Cool walk by the stream. Keep an eye on that container. T4TC - M@

Nice easy find, just had to be careful not to slip into the mangroves!

Quick find ... Tftc

Nice easy find as the path was nice and quiet this afternoon

Thanks for the cache found this efficiently and quickly with forest fairies.

Nice quick and easy find with Pete the navigator. Cheers

Easy find tftc

Pretty busy in the parking lot, quiet at gz

Cache lid is degrading quickly, and should be replaced. Logbook is slightly damp, but still writable.

4848 Nice hideout by the Scout Hall. Found while heading south to visit a client, TFTC.

Log was slightly damp - container lid has a crack. TB in, TB out.

Great cache,was dry when we got there,pick up T/ B OX22KX to come and see the waikato Thanks

Interesting how they concreted through the trees. No problems with the find.

TFTC, +/- TB

2270 Nice quick find and noted that Sp8m8 had been here today, sorry to have missed you! TFTC

Quick find on my way home.
It's been a while since I was a scout.....
Left TB.
TFTC

Easy find. Im not sure why the scout hall had a couple of windows open and the doors locked. Looked like a good invite for a burglar or local vandals/taggers. Thanks.

I was the designated baby sitter last night and my wife had just left when this one was published. Woke up early and noticed still no logs. Headed out and made a quick find. Glad I have a new bright head torch as GZ near a steep drop. Found at 6:27am. TFTC and
FTF #58

Saw this one last night and decided to visit this morning on the way to the airport with some export flowers as its only a bit of a detour - Whenuapai to Mangere via Papakura. Arrived at dawn but still only managed 3rd to find. Thanks for the cache. Seems lots of Venturer groups are getting into caching. Good to see the interest.

# 2136

Nice easy find. Great to see the Scouts getting involved!

+ Kinder toy
- Nothing

TFTC!

Early start this morning and made a detour to the new cache on our way south. Quick find but unfortunately beaten to the FTF by 20 minutes. Have the same container as the cache, packed in the chillybin T4TC.
