Which Way To Go To? (Auckland) New Windsor, North Island, New Zealand
By funkymunkyzone on 23-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2DNDZ

I have a feeling this one is missing. I looked for almost half an hour with no luck.

Going going gone

Couldn't find it was scary standing on wall.

This was certainly a tricky one in the middle of a Saturday afternoon with all the traffic! Tried to look casual and reached for the well hidden cache inbetween traffic flows. Helpful being tall. TFTC

18:43
Well, it was the opposite way on this street today
Jump-grab-sit-sign-hide-cycleaway.

Thanks for the cache!

Quick find on the way home from work. took a few minutes to learn the traffic pattern, so as not to draw too much attention. Quick grab, sit, sign the log, wait for the traffic window, stash, sit for a few then walk away. TFTC

#245 Geodad, Geogirl and Geodog are out today for International Earthcache. Geoboy has been dropped off at a party and Geomum is having a sleep in. We where passing this spot and I have bee wanting to do it for a long time. Sunday morning is nice a quiet compares to almost all other times. Quickly found by Geogirl.

Whoops forgot our pen but great cache

A stretch to get and much easier than we expected. We certainly did a lot of Monkeying around to find it. We had this cache lined up for a late night find.

After nearly 5 weeks here in Auckland I've slowed down my caching with a few tests and exams over the coming days before I head South to pack up the house and even more South to get the family with me in Blenheim. I cast my eye around for any notable or 'must do' caches and suddenly remembered by 'Date bhidden' matrix. Each day of the year caches are hidden and I'm stuck on a blank for 8 April. My friend G H 6 7 1 0 hid one on that date but unfortunately in his birth town in Akaroa so too far away to grab. Spotted a cache about 30 minutes from my temp accommodation so decided to garb it (Cash n carry) along with one other nearby cache (Which Way To Go To)
This was my first stop this evening and now the traffic has quietened down a little I was able to cross the traffic to park then walk sealthily for the find
T F T C fmz

Lol almost gave up but a last second jump saved the day #4foot9

27 jumps later, I GOT IT!! Got some very odd looks... But worth it! #5

Pretty sure of location, but visited at lunchtime on a busy day. No chance. Need to go back with the ninja gear for a night-time grab.

This cache was some consolation after failing to pick up a previous puzzle cache in the area.
A challenge my 6ft + friend was up for. tftc

Timed my grab with the lights, managed to get it before the next wave of traffic came through. Got asked by a running muggle if I was okay while signing log, smiled and said I was just taking a note from a text I'd received stealthed it back into position no worries. Tftc, our streak continues!

Great cache. It needed my taller hubby though. TFTC

No luck here.

Felt around for a while, but couldn't find the cache.

Out for a spot of caching at dusk...which way to go to first ? Well this was the obvious place of course !!
Hunted a while, still a bit of traffic around, so still trying to looking casual - if that's possible
Got it ! Great camo nicely done !

Could not find climbed all up on the fence and wall, was very ninja no one spotted us at 11:30pm... Someone please check if its there and let us know!!

Good find after a couple of beers.
Cheers

Stopped by on Easter Monday, so there was not much traffic. I had to find an easy way to gain access to GZ, because the direct approach was not possible for me. TFTC.

Doned the Hi vis while Mrs TWS loitered on sidewalk.

Nice find on way to work this morning. Caused a bit of a problem for those of us who are a little ' Vertically Challenged', but managed with a bit of a s t r e t c h.
cheers V.

Auf unserem zum Flughafen den auch noch schnell geholt!
TFTC

First we nearly gave up after searching a while ...read log entries again ....bingo ! Got it !

A read of the log was a help plus a stretch. TFTC.

Lots of muggles!!!! Nice aim high

Nice easy find except all the muggles.

Easy find but hard to retrieve due to very busy road and lots of muggles.

Found originally as part of rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

That was a lot of fun, wondered how, used a nearby street to access GZ better and some supercacher skills and the cache was ours. Thanks again for the hide.

Clever hide, height not required, although had to reach! very creative, thanks

An early morning find for my cache for the day as I knew I wasn't going to have any other time in the day to find one. Took a bit to spot where to reach but then it was no problem thanks to my height! Thanks!

5 am on way to work still busy . Nice hide tftc

It always amazes us how hidden you can be while being so obvious! I guess the rain and the fact that it was a Sunday made it a little easier. TFTC

Bonkers! Totally bonkers!! Visiting from the UK, so took my geo-muggle-NZ-friend and her daughter (my hosts) with me. Thank goodness I did! My friends daughter Sally is 6' tall and athletic, so was able to retrieve the cache from GZ for me! Bonkers? Yes! - but blooming good fun! TY funkymunkyzone.

2am on the way home from work is a good muggle free time!!

Had to be a bit athletic to get to GZ but I made it and simply ignored the gazillions of muggles zooming by.
Many thanks

Even with the busy drivers in almost rush hour traffic I managed to stay out of the main view. Waited till there were no cars around and made the grab. Nice hide. Glad I was tall.

Concrete wall, hard hat, hi-vis vest, torch - boom!

Found this in July, but only realised on 3 Nov when driving past that we hadn't logged it. Oospy daisy

Nice hide, hopefully animity by saturation applies...

TFTC

So many people around - not for the short!

Turned up at GZ had a quik look and then thought i would place it there.... turnes out so would FMZ what a great mean spot lol, TFTC.

Having dropped off Son for his return flight, Mrs UGTME and I decided that at 21.30 it was a good time to find this cache, as we were passing it on way to dropping her of at home.
I thought I was going to get away with getting Mrs UGTME to attain the higher level of caching, which she did but was still vertically challenged, so I had to attain the greater heights as well. TFTC

Would have had to log a DNF if I wasn't with Helefant. Couldn't achieve the higher caching level required. TFTC

Just call me monkey

Real muggle intensive spot! The paper for log is hard to write on, could do with some maintenance.
TFTC

I am awesome

Decided to attempt this while dark. It wasn't in the first place we attempted, and as we didn't want to draw attention to ourselves, we didn't use a torch, so made spotting this a little difficult. We were about to give up, and come back when not so dark, when one last feel around revealed the cache. TFTC

Love my flouro jacket...TFTC!!

After finding a previous which way to go cache, and having to stand up on my bike that was leant against the sign, I was not holding any high hopes for finding this one. But figured I may as well give it a shot and check out where it is!

Arrived to the GZ, and in the rain, there were no people about, and most the cars were just focused on where they were going to.
But boy that's high... thought I could jump onto the fence and possibly spot it from there? So I went for that approach.

Soon saw the cache, and noone was looking, and there were barely any cars around, so jumped up and retrieved it... wow that was a stretch for me!

Then someone spotted me. Some little old man with his daughter or something driving. He was having a ball! Just staring, pointing laughing, and I just smiled back. Acted casual, leaning against the fence, pretending to be txting... he just thought I was funny... And they were stuck at a red light for ages! Then I think he told his daughter to look, but it was green by that point so she didn't see me I don't think. I wonder if anyone will believe him when he gets home of some story of a girl chilling against the fence so high up...

Then just timed my replacement well with the lights. Had trouble returning it as high as I got it from though! But another jump, and cache was in place.

TFTC!!

Busy street even at 10pm Saturaday night
Parked in a side street up the road, tricky finding a way home form here with all the road work going on


TFTC

I really enjoyed finding this cache, even in the evening stealth was needed. I could only just reach the cache on tiptoes, but I managed. Thanks!

Dammit I can see it but even in the middle of the day it's nearly impossible without someone looking

Great little cache to find on the way home TFTC

I can imagine this one to be very difficult to find during day time. Luckily for 73LG and I we were around here last night and it's a lot more discreet TFTC

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We were out and about on a Friday evening picking up a few caches. Lucky it was now getting dark as we wouldn't have wanted to try this one during the day - the road was still fairly busy though.

Realised fairly quickly what level this one needed to be approached from, so the taller member of Phasevisitor went for the find. Nicely hidden.

We quite liked this hide, so have added as a favourite. Thanks for the cache!

Hmmm yes indeed this one would have been more prudently tackled either at night or early morning...anyway tried looking like we had just lost something in a strange place...great hide.

Nice hide, the traffic wasnt bad as we had an early start. Retrieved and replaced cache quickly..
TFTC

Nice find on a reasonable morning as we had to go to the airport then head south with family.
Traffic was getting busy so lucky for a quick find before heading west.

Finally manage to tick off this little cache. It has been bugging me all the time I go pass this road. Tonight with a bit of spare time on my side, I got my fingers on this one. Sneaky hide.

TFTC FMZ

Collected this one just as morning traffic was starting to pick up. Glad it was still dark. TFTC.

#2932. Arrived at dusk. Which way to go to? Argh, that way. Upon departure, heard the sound of a sirened vehicle. Fortunately, it didn't stop. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Decided to take one of the few directions not indicated for a quick find.

TFTC

Chose midnight as the best time to tackle this cache. Only a few vehicles driving by, and very few pedestrians. Sussed out what was required, then one of us used a different approach to get his hands on the cache, which was not visible from below. Mission accomplished, thanks for the fun. Which Way To Go To from here? Home to bed, I think.

# 5050

A quick find this morning at a time when I felt like I was not to obvious.

Easy find by walking along the narrow footpath next to the fence. Waited a few traffic light cycles before the return so I could time it for a muggle-free drop.

Out and about this afternoon trying to crack the 800 mark. Parked in the nearby side street and made my way to GZ. Quickly worked out what needed to be done and made a quick find. Signed Mapper Ted's fancy bit of paper. Used an array of tools to look legit, but honestly, I don't think anyone cared. Cheers for the cache!

Had to do some stretches to limber up enough to reach the cache. The log paper fell apart on me. I added a small strip of waterproof paper. An excellent site for a cache with the added challenge of being in such a public location.

Visited after dark and fortunately I know the area so finding parking was not too hard at all. It was a decent stretch but the grab was pretty easy. The log is decaying a bit, but it had dried out enough for me to drop in some initials. TFTC!

Quick find with the High Viz on and loads of cars but no one seemed intereted in what was happening.
Log book fragile and damp such that Ii had big probs trying to write on it with my slightly sick pen. Managed initials and half the date before teh pen gave up. Took photo of log as proof as well.
TFTC.

On my way home at 4.30am so thought it might be a good time to pick up this one but no luck. I have now read the logs and will have a better look next time.

With the motorway closed it was probably a bit quieter than usual, and with the high Viz on no one was paying any attention anyway.

The log sheet is damp, and very fragile trying to write punctured holes in it, did manage a large signing of it.

TFTC

One way :p

6971 Only one way to go... and that's up, nice hide, TFTC.

DNF

Parked in the side street and walked along to gz tonight. A quick find after engaging my "Go Go Gadget Legs" TFTC and the challenge.

Nice hide, soon had it found (my vest was useful here) SL TFTC

Wel, there was only one way to go for this cache. Ryan completed the retrieval and did the honours. TFTC

Checked all the sides, no go, if it was there you would have to be 3m tall.

Quick find on my way from West towards Manukau.
TFTC

Another stretch of a cache.

11:45 Fast find at a busy intersection. Hard to not look out of place here. Passed this one knowing where it was for a couple of months, as it is the closest unfound traditional to home. Nice to finally find it. TFTC FMZ.

#477

Simple find once there was a break in the traffic. TFTC

Plenty of traffic today but no-one paying any attention to me. Had to look closely before I located the cache. Nice one. TFTC, Biggles.

Tried to look official. t4tc

I like the hide... Hi-vis vest does the trick . TFTC

Starting off some new geocoins...

Nice, quick find. I love a good drive-by. Thanks.

Made my way across town but too late for FTF....saw Stu4 and Evil09 driving away

Published

Well after getting a sneaky FTF with stu4 last night at this cache's companion in Avondale I decided to go for the double when this one popped up. As luck would have it I managed to turn up first this time around and did the retrieving to share another FTF with stu4 Quick chat as the weather wasn't quite so bad and then back off home with a bemused Angeshirl in the car wondering what the fuss was about. TFTC!

Of out the door in the rain to arive at GZ in the reverse order of last nights cache for a joint FTF with Evilno9. and a quick catch up with 10centcoin as we departed the scene. I think the caches next door neighbor may be a bit suspicious of the nearby activity so stelth from both sides may be required TFTC.
