Apparently there is a bit of bulldozing and expressway work going on in the district that is working its way from one cache of mine to another. Ah well.
CO might like to check up on this one as all the trees have recently been clear felled and there are only stumps and a pile of wood chips there now
Muggle city today! Good thing we can have lots of conversations about their dogs 
Coords a little out for us but found the good camo after widening the search. Tftc
Coords a little out for us but found the good camo after widening the search. TftcHad a couple of days staying in Paraparaumu and manged to get quite a lot of caching time. Fair bucketing down for a good portion of both days - hence some very very short logs in an attempt to keep the logs as dry as possible! Thanks for the caches, neat area to cache in.
Found it easily today, was about 7m off gps but a nice find and a lovely hot sunny day, surprised more muggles weren't around! Tftc
Too many muggles and a grizzly toddler! Will try again another day, sounds like a fun one.
Glad to replace this spot with a smiley face finally.
Nice walk along the track to this one and was rather quite even tho it was such a nice day.

I enjoyed walking along this path in the sunshine. It was very quiet with no-one around. Glad to say I was not stumped, and soon had cache in hand and log signed. Carefully replaced the cache exactly as found, and stood in the middle of the path considering which direction to stroll next on such a lovely day. Next minute, nearly bowled by 10 little kids on bikes. Whew - thank goodness they did not spot me replacing the cache. Thanks for placing a cache here - nice spot.
Very nice hide! A bit hard to get inner container out but we managed it.. Love the camo TFTC!
TFTC!Nice quick find at GZ. Day was pretty hot at this stage, and it was time for a bit of a wander to pick up a few caches on these tracks. Loved the hide - well done.
TFTC!

Great to finally get rid of another ugly blue sad face and with it having been down for a while, the nice clean blank log sheet means a few more days toward completing GC4JTJX "The Lonely Cache Challenge (Wellington)". Great hide too, love the "Russian doll" of pill cases! SLTFTC
New container ready to go. Have tried twice to replace but twarted by neighbours or rush hour muggles. Will try again Tuesday.
Much evidence of rummaging in the vicinity. Cache AWOL will consider one last placement soon.
Spent a very long time looking for this one, with no luck. Almost positive it's no longer there, but could be wrong.
Couldn't find it last October and once again. When down here again. I had another DNF. I do think I has gone....unfortunately........
GPSr was about 7m out, quite a number of stumps in the area, but all good, found with imacache on a drizzly afternoons trip to Raumati.
After spending some searching for this one I decided to carry on to the next one. On my way back to the cachemobile I decided to try for this one again. I finally found it 7m away from my GPS's GZ.
Cheers for the cache.
Cheers for the cache.
Been stumped before, but not this time with my trusty Android finding the clever cache spot on.
Thanks bkj for a neat cache.

Cache # 1,550 - super quick find once the GPS settled down and pointed me to the right location. It first had me 6 metres away at more hint objects. Had to dodge several muggles too. Nice hide, lovely little walkway - will be back to do the other caches here sometime. TNLNSL. TFTC!
Looks like the stump grew abit lol , all good cache is right there as we approached GZ TNLNSL

Quite a clever cache, searched for awhile with no luck, so took a break and found another cache down the stream a bit before managing this one 
Yay, the intensive search last time, allied with the very descriptive clue led a little dan straight to the cache. leased to have ticked this one off so close to home. TFTC
Gave this one another go now that it has been reinstated. A nice little hide. TFTC

Whilst out on a bike ride with a friend we came down this most enjoyable cycleway and had a look for this cache. After spending a good five minutes we looked at the previous logs and decided to give up. Disappointing but thanks for bringing us down the cycleway.
Spent awhile searching where the hint and compass told me to look but could not find it. Perhaps it has been muggled 
Found it in between passersby. Dropped off "Frodo" Anni trackable and grabbed Ducky trackable to move along. TFTC

Ha HA! no cache is safe from the dark and terrible intellect of Raven McNight
Found this just as the sun was setting. Enjoyable ride by the stream. What a great way to enjoy my last few days in NZ before I return back to the UK.
Nice ride! This cache had very little in it so I took nothing but carved a very small wooden knife and left that in there!

Only a short walk from the previous cache and fortunately still on the right side of the stream. TFTC

1Dog wanted to grab the one by the airport, so we parked near here and grabbed this one on the way.

Third one of the day.
We found this one easy too... just had to wait for some muggle kids to pass on by, before making a quick grab, and then a quick return back again.
... and then we had to walk back around the long way! Even though it's not far, it's just frustrating that you can see the car, but have to do a huge loop!! Lol...

sonia26642 ducked in in between some muggles walking past - they were actually more dressed for town than nature... TFTC!!
Went for the wrong stump initially -typical! No problems when I ascertained the correct one. TFTC
Also went for the obvious stump at first. Had to watch out for a few muggles. TFTC
Completing a search between passing muggles proved to be the trickiest part of this one. TFTC Cheers!
We weren't stumped by this one but we were nearly thwarted. Had to wait for several groups of slow walking muggles before we could retrieve and again return the cache. Thanks.

We overshot GZ as we had our eye on another hiding place, after that didn't result in a cache, we backtracked and found it soon after.
