Natnatnat

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 21 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Natnatnat: This one is also ill, and you are needed in triage stat.

No longer loved?

We had no luck here either. Looking at past logs, wonder if the cache is still there.

dnf

....we found this one in pieces ... we tried to restore it as best as possible and added a new log ...

Thanks for the cache and for bringing us here …

Found what appeared to possibly be the cache container, as per the description, lying in the playground but could not find a log. Have placed the item in question in the tussock in the corner behind the fence in case the cache owner wants to check up on it. Cheers, waiiti20

Very Clever hide..not many little muggles around the time i was there. TFTC

Quick find and time for a swim!

Hi Geocachers

I am doing a survey on my geocaches to see if they need improvement, could you please send my a review of any of my geocaches and send it to my email.

Thank You

Kind regards

Have come past eyeing up this cache a few times, but always too many muggles around. A great cache and great hide, TFTC!

Found with Virtual Allie, like the sneakiness. Tftc

A good sneaky hunt, great cache! Found with NZLats. TFTC.

Introduced friends to geocaching today, this is a great one to get people started.

Easy find!! Hard to see at night

Took a bit of searching, and re-reading the hint and cache description to get this one.

We really like the work that natnatnat has done to make this hide.

Well done, and you are getting our first *favourite* tag.

TFTC

No muggles due to weather and time of day. Very sneaky hide! TFTC!

Sneaky. Tftc

Aah sneaky little cache nearly had me beat. TFTC

TFTC. It took me a moment or two to cotton on to the fact that I had actually found it.

Very cool cache, first to sign new log sheet, TFTC

Quick find as soon as muggles left the playground. TFTC

Went out with family (Floppy flopo & Pepsi cool) and found the cache after a short search, no problems with the young muggles. TFTC

Easy find on a nice evening - nicely hidden. TFTC

TNLN neat idea for acache

Too windy this morning for even it to be "Playtime" for the kite surfers. Half the beach was already across the road, the rest of it appears to have ended up in my hair and ears (despite me having my hood up). A quick find despite my eyes being only slits. TFTC.

Very windy today so lots of kite surfing going on at the beach today. Quick find with the clue to avoid too much disturbing the grass in the dunes. Salamat!

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

My "chauffeur" taybee was first and I followed.
TFTC
Cheers nzkeko

great night find on another windy stormy wgtn night....ta

Jr taybee was playing in the play ground was a easy found TFTC # 0673

lovely day at the bay. quick find. found with the East Angles. TNLN. SL TFTC

First of a number in the bay with the PBH's
TFTC

Everyone was enjoying the playground and not interested in what we were doing, so an easy find.
TFTC

First night find. Had a great play in the surf on a kayak here today (no, not on the sand). Finally some fun on the water this spring.

Cheers etc.

Very nice hiding place!

After 3 visits finally found it on the 3rd one

No time to play

Cache had been replaced and moved since we were last here - still took a while. TFTC Felix!

Cheeky hide ! Thanks

Nice day out finding a few caches on a visit to Wellington. Quickly located - no problem with this location after failing to find it when I think it was gone from last hide. SL TFTC

Found with the help of Martyn and Fern, my two little helpers. Martyn took a card and we left a bag clip. TFTC

Lots of muggles around so had to use super stealth once it was finally located.

Refound it

Cache size descriptor needs updating as it is no longer a micro.

A blank log, not FTF but FTS though nice to dream! However first finder of the bigger cache.
No trouble finding it, in fact cache was partially exposed. But getting it back was a different story and illustrates why there can be difficulties with playground caches.
Went down onto the beach to SL, got that done and as I walked up to return it a van pulled up right near the GZ, two junior muggles rushed out of the van onto the play equipment leaving me stranded with the cache and no hope of returning it. I could see this was going to take more than a few minutes, fortunately I was not in a hurry. As I was on foot had no choice but to move away with the cache hidden on me as being an older male on my own hanging round with two girls playing in the playground and supervising adult looking on was not a good look! Went off to attempt a couple of other nearby caches, came back and the muggles were still there so went on and did yet another cache and finally could put the cache back after the best part of an hour! So apologies to anyone who looked for the cache around 7 p.m.
Was going to just discover the coin but as it came with me in my travels around the bay I will log a visit to the other cache I found and logged and, then enter it back into the present cache. (One of the other caches I didn't find and the other one I couldn't extract the log.)
TFTC

Returning coin back home after its enforced visit to the neighbours!

Looks like a dog has been digging at base... then see now that it has been temp disabled so not just our bad searching ;-> Will return when back in-place. TFTC Felix!

Droped a geocoin in

The cache is back and in a different spot!!!!!

Good luck
natnatnat

The cache has been muggled, will be replaced soon.

Found quickly with the help of 2 year old granddaughter - which made for a good cover so near the playground. We re-covered it carefully - hope this one lasts OK. A beautiful day - the beach ws being enjoyed by lots of people.

A nice easy find on our walk along Lyall Bay Beach. TFTC

No muggles today so no problems here.
TFTC

Back today for an easy find.
TFTC

Quick find, picked up TB TFTC

I can't claim
any of the fame
when the sun came out
She gave a shout
MagNZ saw the glint
that gave her the hint
of which place to look
finally we could write in the book


TFTC

Took a while to retrieve then replace with all the muggles around TFTC

Went out just as the rain cleared so no muggles about, found while out with one of the lyricals and if it wasn't for sun i don't think we would have found it, as we both had been in the area earlier and missed it.

Good hide

Hmmm.. no luck for us..

Last time I was in this play park I was with my Scottish niece and we were eating Indian takeaways while her 2 year old played happily with the other kids and gave us some quiet time. No muggles as the weather was about to be really awful and no cache as far as I could see so I took off for the movies but I have asked the big gun Mr K-E for a hint to try on my return at the end of the month.

#1480. Found at night. TNLNSL. TFTC.

TFTC

On an afternoon car caching tour with whipped_cookie, found it

Had to call in the big guns (Mr EU!) to find this one. TFTC

A tricky hide which took a little while to locate. TFTC

Not impressed with the location, but found the cache.. Also not impressed with the cache.. Glass and then struggled to get the paper out, so logged on the geocaching sheet, like the previous owner..

i

Did with CrystalFairy

We wondered if this might have been like finding a needle in a haystack but thankfully we found it quite quickly. Nice little container. TFTC

U can now access this cache please note if you have found this cache before it will not have it on the log inside the cache but you have still found it

Natnatnat

repairs

I found it by the playground
there were a few people walking along the beach

Had to help Bkj97 who was scratching about. Miserable weather kicked in which meant muggles were nowhere to be seen. T4TCSL

Nobody playing today as the southerly rumbled in except my favourite chicken and me. TFTCSL

Good thing about the rain cos it keeps little muggles away, making it the best time to visit here All deserted at GZ. So many hideyholes, where to look? But thanks to a logical placement, found after a short search. Nice camo. TFTC.

Found this cache this time, was here the first time the day after it was published but didn't have any joy. Returned today and found it within seconds at the spot I first looked. Not sure how I missed it the first time around, must have being with millimetres of the cache. No muggles at GZ today, was a bit windy so was getting a bit sand blasted. TFTC TNLNSL (2102)

Playtime? Not today; the torrential rain put paid to that. Quickly located the new camo container (a little west of the posted co-ordinates) and signed the log before I could get too soaked.
Looked for this hide twice before without realising it had been removed - perhaps the cache should have been temporarily disabled at that time?

Well it obviously is there to find. Stopped by again today when I had a bit more time to look, found the container on the second pass. Good camo job that blends in well with its surroundings. Signed under agcnz’s entry. Without wishing to offend anyone, I have to say it again; I am not a great fan of caches in children’s play areas. SL TFTC

I had a very quick look this morning, But didn't spend much time on it as it may not be there to find.

Can the owner please confim if its there to find or not.

Is the new camo version back yet?

Very heavy rain at the time of my visit. No find and got soaked. Will try again in better weather.

cool view and really good hiding spot TFTC!!!

Being replaced with a new container more camoflaged, because its very visible.


will be back on Friday 23rd of July

FTF @ 11:30 A nice surprise to get FTC on this one. Stopped by for a quick look on the way to the airport. Wrote the cache name into the log book as it had no markings to identfy itself. TFTC

Beaten by -gonefishing- by half an hour - ya gotta be quick!. A quick find on a lunchtime cache attack today. Lots of people around but it was easy to remove and replace the cache with my back to them so my activities weren't seen. Signed log, TFTC.
