Look Out To Cockle Bay (Auckland) Cockle Bay, North Island, New Zealand
By mattyandjax on 01-Aug-10. Waypoint GC2CPQ9

We searched for ages, then checked the logs and realized we might not be going crazy. This one needs to be replaced or archived.

About to emigrate so no point making new container. Hopefully some one else can use the spot for a new cache

Had a look but no luck.

Been doing a spot of night caching. Seen a few dnfs but decided to give it a shot. With both of us looking we soon had most areas covered but no success. Looks like temporary container has gone as well. May need a quick check by CO.

Searched and searched for ages. Phone was taking us in circles. I give up! Any more hints??

Found log only in temp bottle, needs maintenance, but TFTC

Shame ....We are not here often ..
..seems to be gone ...

Tricky but finally found it!

Loads of rubbish lying all over the place! ! Found it but it is no longer in a camo case. Easy find. TFTC

Little finger came in handy

This has been Muggled! Found log lying on ground with no container. Have put log in temp container, but will need to be replaced. Have left in tree on right hand side of path

No luck here- had a pretty good idea of where we thought it was as GPS kept leading us to the same place, but no luck

Took some time, but enjoyed the view.

Cool cache!! Log full...

Clever hide. Found quickly then back down to the beach for lunch. No pencil and log book full! tftc

no pencil and log book full

My puppy loved looking for this cache. Lots of grass to play on

2nd one down! This could get contagious!

Initially used my iPhone to find GZ but it was sending me a little off - pulled out the GPS and had it immediately TFTC!

Second Cockle Bay cousin find for the day. They geo boys loved the container. Tftc

Great little cache. Just picked my son up from Keas and we had a go. Took longer than I thought, but good find.

Passing time in the area with mates.. mopping up a few caches in a stroll around.. cheeky hide...

log to follow:-)

After much circling we finally found it! TFTC
With tazziboi
FYI there is no longer a pencil inside.

Great TFTC. Found with eilisrose

Damn pen wouldn't write on this 'fabulous' paper so I left a daisy in the container as a reminder that I passed by.

Took a bit of a search but this was found within 10 mins.

This one took me longer to find than it should have. Kept looking in the wrong places. Great View

Easy

I had a quick look, but then heard someone coming by, so I sat down for a minute. When the coast was clear, I returned and made the grab. TFTC.

So easy

I Slipped

TFTC. Found with Mouska4 doing their first cache

TFTC

Found it detached, put it back together. TFTC

Yay, we found it, 2 kiddies slipping on the wet grass but that's half the fun

Loving this! Having fun!

Managed to find this one even in the dark

Easy find.lovely outlook.

Found it straight away great first cache

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Parked at the top and had a pleasant wlk to GZ, bench wasnt in a very good state to sit on, so went to find the cache instead, quick find and replace before wandering back to the car. Lovely view from here.

TFTC

Nice quick find

Found it after a while 1 cache

Took a little longer than expected on this one! Trust the GPS!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

I couldn't find this geocache, maybe I'll have better luck next time!

Nailed it

Beautiful spot. Tftc

Pretty quick find! Look out for the seat near by, it's broken and not comfortable to sit on. Tftc!

Came to this lookout all the time when I was little! Loved it

Visiting again in this area from the USA. A few years ago found the one at the other end of the bay. Thanks for the neat hide.

No pen with me this time. TFTC

Remember coming here a little while ago for a DNF, so nice to finally make our way to pick up the replaced cache. Nobody about except for some lorikeets, which made for a quick find. TFTC!

Snuck up the hill for a quick cache while with the kids at the park. Tftc.

Great spot for a cache. Took a fair bit of hunting for then spotted the little devil - trust the co-ords and hint and you will find it!

Many thanks for the cache.

Thanks for our first find

Found with Sir & Lady Harveyjj, what a lovely spot - thank you for bringing us here

TFTC, Log signed as T2 (BDI's + Sir & Lady Harveyjj) and cache returned safely from whence it was found.

Apologies for the late log - catching up on our return home

This was the first geocache that I read about while planning our trip to New Zealand. I just had to find it!

Another nice and straightforward cache to find. A quick find this afternoon between passing muggles heading down to the beach/playground. Sat on the seat to sign the log and admire the view before heading off. TFTC!

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 4. This was a great park by the sea. A nice walk up the hill and a very challenging hide that took a good bit of finding. Thanks.

Quick easy find in a lovely sunny winters day. TFTC

Stopped for a Picnic after doing a bush walk, did a scan of the area and saw this Cache was within metres of us. A quick few steps and not to beat around the bush, I shall get straight to the point. A easy find.

Great view.

Needed a few caches to stretch the legs before hitting the long drive home;Lovely bay & nice spot to sit, enjoy the view & sign the log. nice hide; TFTC

No 2

Found it small camaflaged container easy for kids to find

Found it easily on my tour to clean up my new home zone

Thank you

Not where you think it is haha

Another quick find while over this way.
Didn't stop too long to look at the view, seat was a bit wet and another shower was on its way. However looking forward to being back to check out the area further. TFTC

Found it! Yay first one.

Actually foudn this a while back but missed logging it - sorry. t4tc

after sorting out the GPS we found it fairly easily

Nice easy find while out doing a few caches in cockle bay with kiwipeats

Cockle Bay is lovely, our first time here, so thank you for the cache placement.

We logged a DNF on 5 July 2011 on our last visit here. So today we again found the dog collar, but must be more experienced now, because we found the cache too. TFTC from Perth

Dad and boys hunted for this one while Mum waited in the car with sleeping 1YO.
Dad thought it best if he did the actual hunting, as there were a lot of muggles around and the boys are not the most subtle at times.
Dad said the view was fantastic - and such a lovely afternoon to experience it.

A great cache which was well hidden! TFTC.

Young Master Jayden (8yrs) found the cache!

Didnt know that view point was there. Thanks.

No problems finding cache, more problems getting the paper out if the bottle :-p

Lovely sunset tonight. Pleased with my first ever cache find Had no pen though.

Fabulous Bengal Tiger cat was there to help the search on this one.

TFTC

Fun cache for the kids.tftc

Quick walk while waiting for the farmers market to open. Mmmmm smoked eel and soft cheese on sour-dough for brekky. T4TC
