As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Just another DNF in NZ

Would have found it if it were intact as there is only really one place it could be. Only read recent activity once at the site. Disappointed.

We found this missing cache in tatters, can you please replace

IMO Has either been removed by officials / muggles or dropped beyond reach. Nothing matching spoiler photos apparent here.

Please can CO confirm this is here. cache has 3 watchers on it so I'm not the only one to fail to find this. cheers R&Co

1st find alt-j

Watched a beautiful sunset last night at the end of a successful mission!

Couldn't sign it because it was wet, but great spot

So arty, loved this spot

Awesome view Cash was wet couldnt write on it. TFTC

Found it! Cache log is soggy but could be saved with some careful drying! TFTC

Found With Geojack On A Rain Morning. Logbook Was Wet And Rust Leeked Into It. TFTC!

Still wet lid is missing a new lid could help attempted to sign logbook anyway.

• Cache #38

Just popped over the hill from a previous cache.
This cache was over an arms reach away, actually on the bottom
Had my telescopic magnet on me, so I fished it out.
The cache is missing it's lid and the log is still completely soaked.

• Bagged the cache and placed it where I think it was suppose to be
• Photographic proof of 'Find' as the log cannot be signed

TFTC! and as always ~ Happy Hunting!

Found it but couldn't write on it since it was so wet, provided a photo instead

Come to visit the wife (staff nurse), thought I'd grab this on my way home. Container needs replacing and log is sodden. Found to foofighters 'in your honour'

Hi there. Nice cache, but container and log book both really wet ... Too wet to write on

Good cache! Unfortunately the cache and logbook were quite wet - e.g. Too wet to write on. Bummer!

Yep. Ttfcg!

TFTC

Found with toniaivy, but forgot to log it!

TFTC

Quick find. It's looking a bit leaky up here - I hope this is all ok after the recent earthquakes. Thanks

The weekend's here...phew... now a spot of caching.
Enjoyed the walking about in this area, on a not-too-bad winter's day. Great views to be had.
Cache find was straightforward; all in order, log signed and then safely re-hidden.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Great walk over Mt Vic, TFTC

Find #71 of the 100 day challenge. We were at hospital for a check up on a broken collarbone and was very happy to see there was a cache quite close to where we had parked. Even more delighted when I saw it was a Felix! cache, as these ones are always fun. This one didn't disappoint and so gets a favorite point from us. Thanks.

Off to Wellycon, the board gamer's conventions. A little bit of time to spare so found this along the way. Nice hide, a little more different than usual.

Quick find, and just as well, the polar wind making life uncomfortable!

TFTC

Had a good look the first time, and didn't see it.
Looked around and decided there was no where else to put it.
Took a second look, and there it was!
TFTC

1st cache found! Took the dog up for a walk and found it after a few mins and a wrong turn. Had to read the clue but got there in the end. TYFTC

Walked with grandson, Dellytj, across to cache. Different views. TFTC

sweet view

One of the very few bits of Mt Victoria town belt track that I haven't walked along before, so was a nice cache for a lunchtime find on yet another fine sunny Wellington day. Nice easy find, though as I cam e from the non-hospital direction there were quite a lot of ups and down involved to get there! TFTC

Enjoyed finding this one while on a lunch break from studies at Otago (at the hospital). It was a nice walk up the hill and the cache was easily seen and retrieved. Wish I'd had more time to continue along these tracks further.

Great cache.

Easy find, cache still in good condition. TFTC

Specialist appointment provided the opportunity. Tricky little fellow. Bring your make-up bags, girls! TFTC

Melon and I were unexpectedly in the vicinity (Melon is now sporting a plaster cast), so took the opportunity to pick up this one as we'd paid for more car park time than needed. TFTC - all exactly where expected.

Across from Nelson for a couple of days and noticed this cache nearby so took time out for a quick find!! TFTC!!

Thanks

Had to make use of the the hospital a few years ago as a result of a silly bike acident - knee going into a jack-knifed front wheel. However they had me up and going shortly afterwards. Thanks for bringing me up here for look. TNLNSL - TFTC

Current DHB employee found during a lunchtime stroll

TFTC! :3

Found with catscatscats22 while wandering around part of the Southern Walkway.

Searched and found on an "after-work-walk"! Nice view on the hospital and Newtown! TFTC

Quick find while out caching in the city this afternoon. TFTC

We walked through the hospital to this cache and discovered Wishbone on the way through. We wish they had outlets in Nelson. Stopped for lunch and then headed up the hill for a quick find.
TFTC

Nice and easy find after a brief stroll up the hill. Wee bit of moisture in container but log all good. TFTC

easy find with good walk and view

Easy find. TFTC

Found on a beautiful Wellington day, awesome view over Newtown. Enjoyed my first cache find! TFTC

Last of the evening, starting to get too cold. Nice easy find once at GZ.

TFTC

Found on a nice Wellington Sunday afternoon TFTC

Made my way from Certifiably Mad to this one over a rather wet and muddy track. Couple of slips and slides, but fortunately managed to keep my butt from hitting the deck. Interesting hide. Was a little paranoid about loosing my phone, even though it was inside a zipped pocket. TFTC.

Also grabbed this one on my short stroll around Mt Victoria today. TFTC. Sherlock Hood.

#3616. Troodles found this on a dot day some time back. We were in the area today, so I added my name to the log. TFTC.

TFTC - cool views!

Really needed a walk so out and about with Rich. Nice straight forward cache. t4tc

[blue]Took a very convoluted route to this but eventually got there for a quick find.

Visiting Wellington from Ohio, USA, and decided to pick up a few caches. SL. Thanks!

Out and about on my last day of caching for 2011,TFTC

Wonderful view! Nice place to spend a few moments on Christmas morning.

Found on a pleasant evening stroll with geocache-introducee Josie. Cunning spot

Lovely views from here. I'm really enjoying seeing bits of the city I've never been to before. TFTC

Great spot and great view - just what caching is all about. My Mum has been in the hospital for 3 weeks now so hoping she will be cleared to go home soon - TFTC

Found it with Brightspirit. As we were putting it back, we were seriously muggled by two Stealth Ninja mountain bikers who rode up and stopped before we ever heard them. Wonder what they thought we were doing reaching where we were reaching....... TFTC

A nice quick find after a short walk from the near empty carpark at this time of night. Then I very nearly did a very silly thing with the car keys at GZ. That would've been very hard to explain to management why the car was here instead of in the opposite direction where I am working this week. TFTC #2444

Second to last for the day on our way home. A couple passed by with their dog just as we arrived then we were left in peace to find, log and replace the cache.

Had a quick walk up from the hospital carpark to cache. Quick easy find.TFTC

Thank you Wellington Hospital and staff in Cardiac and Intensive Care - my mum had her aortic valve replaced and spent a week recovering here.
I was over from South Australia and spent each day visting her. Saw the cache was here but today was really the first chance I had to actually go look.
Cold & windy BRRRRRR Southerly blowing - and it had snowed the night before.
Nice hide - well done.
TFTC Felix!

Have to range a bit further these days for caches to fill in dot days during the working week. Luckily public transport is convenient so had my first ride in a trolley bus to the hospital.
Nice view of Newtown from the cache site.
TFTC.

A nice quick one with a view of a different side of Wellington. TFTC.

Lid was loose but a quick squeeze of metal fixed that... Tis a bit rusty, ripped baggie and damp log book so have replaced the lot & Put it a bit further down than found as was almost visible. TFTC Felix

found while the arrival of my new grandson....all well.
Good to have a breif walk and some fresh air... thanks

Container lid doesn't want to close, which with all the recent rains + the broken log bag, has led to the log becoming mouldy and very wet. And with winter closing in, it certainly won't get better...

Find #644. The thirteenth find for us out of nineteen total. Having already cached our way around the Wellington waterfront, and up and over Mount Victoria, we arrived in Newtown still wanting more finds, as it wasn't even lunch yet. We walked up the wrong track at first which led to a very abandoned skate 'park', but we soon made the connection between the title and the object... ah!!!

The cache was an easy find, not at arms length however - great views of Newtown from here. Cache lid doesn't want to close properly, which with all the recent rains and the ripped log bag, have lead to the log becoming soaked and growing mould. A bit of maintenance may be required in the future. A short but enjoyable walk! SL TFTC.

Escaping Hospital the night before our baby boy was born

A fairly easy find in the dark with Cryndz, TFTC

Tried to get this just before daylight, but it proved elusive, so went back to motel and had my porridge and headed out again for a quick find. Not at arm's length; a bit easier than that. Lid not closing properly, and snap-lock bag was ripped, so log was a little damp. Still able to be written on though. Walked back through the great old archways of the original Wellington Hospital.

A nice little spot up here on a quiet and crisp Sunday morning. Tracked down the cache with no problems, TFTC!

Quick find after work to complete a dot day, TFTC

Due to the lack of unfound caches that I have left in the CBD my lunchtime stroll is starting to take on more of a route march feel. Nevertheless it was such a nice day today that I took the opportunity to add this one to my smiley face list. The log bag is ripped but unfortunately I didn't have a replacement with me today. TFTC

Great day - was in the area dropping flyers and a quick check showed this cache close by. Been up here a few times on the bike but never really stopped to look. great view across Newtown. Nearly gave up but the hint put me on the right track. TFTC

TFTC. Forgot my pen so photo attached.

tftc

Nearly dropped it. But all ok. SL T4TC

Nice hide. So worried it was going to get dropped. But not problems. SL TFTC.

A nice easy find after dinner

TFTC

tftc

Quick & easy find.
A good view over Newtown from here.
TFTC.

I am living now nearby this cache so I had to visit it. Very nice idea! TFTC!

Great place for a cache - I never would have known this was here! TFTC.

Good one.

Found it dropped to the bottom. Managed to retrieve & placed back to position. Great hiding spot. TFTC
