Pukeora Lookout (Hawkes Bay) Waipukurau, North Island, New Zealand
By kennythekiwi on 29-Jun-10. Waypoint GC2AZR6

muggled once too often

No luck here even after a phone call to a previous finder for confirmation of the hidey hole. Can the cache owner please check this out.

Despite two pairs of eyes on the job failed to find this one - next time perhaps.

Passing by for a second visit with swebber04 (her first). Still an awesome view! TFTC

1845 Easy find. I might of scared off another geocacher as I pulled up.

#10

Thanks for the detour up to this amazing lookout which I would have missed if you had not placed a cache placed at this spot.

Find #1103, with this cache in particular marking the #77th find for the day (!) with agcnz and Yeetrees, after completing the new 52 cache skindo trail nearby. It was late in the day - so late it was rather dark we arrived at this cache after a good meal in Waipukarau, heading back to Wellington. Obviously no views at this time, but the cache was made light work of by agcnz and Yeetrees and found quickly - thanks. We will definitely stop here next time when we are up this way and the sun is shining! SL TFTC.

Came here about 6 months ago but no luck, the cache had gone. Called this evening on the way back to Wellington after a meal in Waipukurau and found it within seconds in exactly the spot I expected it to be in the previous time. Nobody else at all about at this time of evening so searching was easy. Signed log, thanks for replacing it!

After overnighting nearby we were on our way to the newly published Route 52 caches, but had to stop for a few Waipukurau caches first. Great views from the Pukeora Lookout. Had to take a second look before we spotted the cache - nice and dry. Thanks for bringing us to this spot, or we would have sped past on the highway below.

TFTC - found it with Rincey Jr (13y.o). Bit tricky as my GPS-R wanted to sent me over the fence, but I remembered a previous log comment about obvious hide - found it then .

took nothing, but left Travel Bug

First we struggled a bit, but then we found it at the only logical Location. Tftc say PurdiePurdie and merlellutz

TFTC. Two great reasons to stop here = the view and the cache , both were worthy. Found with Merlelutz.

We have been to this spot few times earlier without knowing there is a cache. It was easy to find without GPS. Greetings from Finland.

Quick find. I've always wanted to come up to this spot. Merry Xmas all and TFTC kennythekiwi.

Found it, left a little something inside.

new container and new logbook in place

Nothing there, sorry to those who had DNF's

Nope. Left empty handed. Thanks anyway

No sign of a cache here today. This should have been a quick and easy find.

Nada, nothing, zip, zilch.. Gave up after a good search.

Had a good look around .. didn't see anything that looked like a cache to day.

Quick easy find, let a cockroach out!!

Easy find on a windy day.

found it in the dark as we returned from Napier. Left a pet rock - a koala. TFTC

Racing against the rain today,worked until 2pm, but the new flash rain jacket paid off then.

NZ11. The tomtom wanted to come up some non existing track to gert to this one, but when I found the right road it turned out to be an amazing lookout. Thanks.

No view today - pouring with rain. TFTC.

Nice view just before sunset. TFTC

Great views up here. Nice hide too. TFTC

Beautiful views lots of rubbish around but a quick sneaky find by the kids.

Easy find just as will we had the kids with us and were happy to go clamouring about at great heights.

Found after a stretch. TFTC

Found at the second attempt, first try abandoned because of muggles. Fortunately one of us was over 6ft tall. Cache is overfull and impossible to put in anything worthwhile. Took a Harley Davison badge and removed cut up hotel pass cards and advertising.

Great views took a while then clicked on tftc

Quick stop here on the way back from Hastings.
Not quite the advertised view today.
Dropped off the new and improved Kanga TB.

Easy enough to find, great views. ..and if you're taking kids, be prepared for the question about the drug paraphernalia left behind by the locals, they did wonder if that was the 'treasure'.

Wonderful views. TFTC

Great view, found two smoking utensils as well as cache (young locals must use this spot) easy find cheerz Jumboz

Arrived at the lookout and noticed a car load of muggles near GZ. Stopped by and decided to take a few photos and this was enough to scare them away. After they left I started searching for the cache, found some item there that are used for some illegal uses, decided to leave them alone. Thought that the cache might have being muggled BUT widen my search and found it safe and secure BUT not sure for how long. Just be very careful when looking for this cache. Thanks for bringing me to this lovely spot, TFTCTNLNSL (2632)

Had a scratch around but didn't find any sign. ??

Quick easy find, took the TB to move on. TFTC

A quick easy find

Found this without GPS & just rough notes from the satellite map. Nearly gave up but then got lucky. Happy New Year! Took 1 TB to move on and dropped another 1 in. TFTC.

Cache was pushed to far back to retreive but found a stick to assist the retrieve. TFTC

I recall coming over this as a kid in the back of my parents morry minor. The hill marked the nearing completion of a long,awful and exhausting trip with car sickness and my father smoking in the car back from palmerston North. Very happy to come here again

A quick easy find, despite the muggle family taking photos on the other side of the wall. Great view. TFTC

+ Green Buggy TB

Nice spot - TFTC

Quick find on the way home - what a great view.

nice cache, first we've found with a gps!

Nice easy cache with wonderful views. TFTC

A cunning hide. While we were there some cars of Youth Group folks also called in on a Treasure Hunt, but their quarry was not the same as ours!

We’re on a mission to hunt down our 2000th cache and would have loved if this one was it. Nice hide, cache size and great scenery that would make a perfect family portrait. Alas it was not meant to be, as we’re still a few short of the big 2000! However, family did have a fun time gathering around with the cache in hand for a beautiful Hawkes Bay photo frame! The views were great! Thanks kennythekiwi for the cache.

Found after a bit of searching and head scratching. Nice view. TFTC

This one took a bit of hunting, but got it eventually, wasn't that hard after all!

A great view from up here.We do not get to see it very often these days.Thanks.

Took a bit of looking, but found eventually. TFTC

Jr taybee has this own account how am logging this old find under his new Username (Jr taybee) was log as part of taybee team

5066 Quick find, great framed views, didn’t know about this lookout, thanks for bringing us here.

Nice find on a clear but windy day. Found where I first looked. Nice hide. Signed log. TFTC

Weather a bit better today, easy find... TFTC

Found easily today. Picked up Eeyore TB which had just been dropped there earlier today so not logged yet. When I was young my parents used to drive to Hastings from Makotuku to buy fruit for bottling and the road went over Pukeora Hill in those days.

Spent a while looking for this one TFTC

I struggled with this one. Searched a while and a car pulled up with a couple also looking for the cache. They stayed a short time then left. I searched some more and found cache in a location I had already checked, but not well enough. SL Left GC TFTC

Found with geodatum after an orienteering event here. Four of us looking and took a bit of a hunt, although we were distracted by muggles for a while. The muggles wanted to take a photo of us in our orienteering tracksuits under the archway. We then all spent some time looking at the brick cross on the ground here and some mysterious numbers inlaid. None of us could explain these. We all enjoyed the great views in the sunshine. Took Canadian coin. TFTC

had a good look around also another geocacher looking for his 10th cache of the day but no luck

Found with Edvern. Agreat view. TFTC. Geodatum

Quick find, must be the local park up spot judging by the evidence found at the scene. Could be a monster lurking in that green well!!

Passing thru

Nice little detour of SH2. A muggle was sat waiting in a car, perhaps for someone on a bus less then 5m from GZ but due to the way the hide is made we managed to log and move on quite quickly. Funny place for a well though !

great spot great views always wanted an excuse to drive this way TFTC
swapped travel bugs

the cow needs committing i think it has mad cows

Great view!! Been up here to San Hill before, but never stopped at the lookout. Had a handful of muggles enjoying the view so had to stand around and pretend I was only there for the view before getting my serious hunt on. Cache was in a great spot too... nice hide! TFTC, me and my 3 boys enjoyed this as find 9 of 11 today.

A great lookout and some interesting history to the location. Had to wait for some muggles to finish their cups of tea and depart then it was a quick easy find, co-ords were bang on.

Been past this so many times , great spot for a cache with nice views.Took out TB OLD MAC.

Hi, really good spot, really good hide, found it in the dark with the three brothers. Best fun TFTC.
