Sea Views 3 - Clarks Beach (Auckland) Clarks Beach, North Island, New Zealand

As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Looked but couldn't find, but then read logs and a long list of dnf's since Oct - time to be disabled or archived

I noticed that this cache has been in need of owner maintenance for an extended period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) and then repair the cache within the next 30 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication/action.

Needs looking at.

NO NO NO

No, no

Just like Mr Rush - We are scratched, bruised, and beaten also.

Not fun at all. Oh well.

New Zealand 2103 trip for the Auckland Mega at Albany. Day 3. The area was all quiet and sea was smooth. It was a very nice place to explore on a quiet Sunday morning. Thanks.

And we found a nice new golf ball for our troubles.

Scratched around for a while but no luck. Very likely to still be there but the enthusium was waning near the end of a busy caching day.

Took a bit of searching for this. Not quite where we expected to find it but put back exactly where we found it. TFTC!!!

Definitely required bit of a scratch around...a little green army man was protecting the cache...alerting me to it. TFTC

Once at GZ i was thinking "Oh No" but came up with the cache after first scratch around, TFTC.

Took about 15 minutes of searching over two goes to find this. Got muggled by a local dog getting a run about whose owner was sitting in a nearby. The dog made tracks when he worked out I was something bigger than a bunny. After reading through the logs I had a better idea what I was looking for and eventually located the cache.

Thanks!

#1277, Not a nice tree, but followed GPS and made a reasonably quick find. TFTC

Whew got it, bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. TFTC

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

We were down this way to spend the evening at Spookers and decided to come down a couple of hours early to pick up the caches around Clarks Beach first. This one took a little bit of hunting to find, but we soon had it in hand. Thanks for the cache!

Fun hunt!

More dark than light now, so bought out the head torch. Followed the hint and was just able to spy the little bugger. There was a surprising amount of swag in the cache. Cheers for the hide!

Easy find but lotsa scratches as a reminder I've been here! TFTC.

NICE CLUES ALL O.K

Busy place today but we managed to slip in. TFTC

tftc! a lovely one to find on this beautiful new years day!

Another good find. Tftc

tried in the evening but it was getting hard to see and then again next day but couldnt get a stable direction and after hunting around in likely spots we abandoned it.

A quick find on a warm, dry and mostly overcast geoday. Nice and quiet here today.
Thank you for placing this cache.

A-Maze-ing spot view is also not to be missed. Soon worked the rat run, and had the run of the place

TFTC

3.50pm. All quiet here this afternoon. GPS took us straight to it.

Our first visit to Clark's Beach. This place must hum in the summer but it's gloomy today and the view is obscured by rain showers coming across. This is our first smilie today after failing on one (couldn't get a fix -tried a couple possible spots but felt a bit dodgy) and not stopping at another (a muggle parked nearby). NINO TFTC

Have come to Clarks Beach for a bit of caching in a different area today. This one took a wee while to uncover, but found in the end. Not too many about today, blowing a gale and the full full tide. SL. TFTC.

Good times in the rain TFTC

Quick find Tftc!

While on a dash to get a FTF on another cache we figured we would grab this on the way past. Great view here at night.

TFTC

Find #199

Found it! now home to thaw..can you tell where we've come from? lol
Thanx for the trio kiwifamily

Finally replaced but may upsize the cache later.

No one was around when I stopped here on my walk from the camping ground so was able to have a fairly good look. No sign of a cache though. Thanks anyway Kiwifamily

Had a quick look but too many mugglers to be able to have a good look, will be back later today to check.

We had a look for this one without success today. Wonder if it is still there?

Annoying! gave this a very thorough look, but not good enough obviously.

Quick and easy find. Nice goodies in this one. We put a "grumice" big purple Mc Donalds monster in.

A nice cache before a dash to the Airport across the harbour. TFTC

Out and about with Mrs TWS today, nice spot, nice hide

TFTC

Nice views today

Easier to get out than in !

I must have flown over this area lots of times but this is my first venture there at ground level. Nice big container so I dropped in a trackable. TFTC, Biggles.

First time for me in this nice area. Quick find. Thanks

On the last day in NZ found this GC in the near of our Campingground/Motorcamp

Thanks for the Cache !

Quick find. TFTC and the pink water from a fabulous sunrise.

Our ninth find for the day! Another big cache, we like it! Thanks Kiwifamily for keeping us entertained for a few hours! We loved exploring the coast of Clarks Beach. TNLNSL TFTC!

We spent our last afternoon at this beautiful beach before returning to Germany.

Nice easy find on a lovely Sunday afternoon. It looked a little bit too exposed so tried to hide it a bit better (only a little, still easy to find! )
TFTC

Not too many around so we could hunt without muggles . Had to pass on next one as bay was heavily populated so will return again.

Followed car club in to area but they parked just far enough away for lunch to find the cache.

what a lovely place. thanks for bringing us here.

Found in between muggles arriving and leaving. Left TB for travel to Ireland. TFTC

At first attempt there was a large family picnic 12m from GZ. As I started to battle my way to the centre of GZ a 4 year old had me in his sights and came to investigate and interrogate. Decided to return later - and 4 hours later the area was muggle free and I dived into feature going directly to the cache.

So windy here today. Cheers!

T4TC

7th for the day- blast the tide is in which may be a problem!! Easy find though

Good day for caching. Easy find. TFTC

Soon had it spotted! Cache camo has now come free from container. SL TFTC

Tide is well on it's way out, but still a popular place mid-week for the locals.
T4TC - M@

Muggles

Very easy find. Thanks

Fantastic sunny, warm day today - the perfect day for Geocaching, although in the end we only got this one!

Great to see such a nice big cache. Camo was good too!

+ Kinder toy
+ TB "Bayerischer Bierkrug" (TB2B4AF)

Quick easy find

Nice find with Kyle891 and Chester my sausage dog

Nice easy find, had to be quite steathy due to excessive muggles

Nice and easy find, if slightly scratchy. TFTC

Quickly found on a sunny but windy day, which is probably why there were few muggles around GZ. This could be fun to do without being spotted when it's a busy weekend.

Gone south this morning to pick a few down that way. Had to watch out for the golfers across the road to see if they had their minds on their game or not.

Out: GC.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice location

Quick easy find with FMZ while in the area on FTF hunt. TFTC.

Good views and surprisingly quiet around here.

TFTC

Nice Sunday afternoon out with family.
Quickly found together with KiwiEric.
Took TB.
TFTC

nice beach
quick find
TFTC

Walked from 1 to 3 along the beach, still very serene. Found quickly, sat on a stump to admire the views.

Another good hide in a great spot. TFTC!

Last cache we found today. Left something, but didnt take anything

Quick find with nobody around.TB swop & coin visit.
Cheers Kiwifamily

On an outing with the youngest 3 of Teamhoward5 we found this one. Was out in the open so its now hidden alittle better. Still easy to find.
Left a TB here.

Not a sole around today so great chance to have a good search and we soon found the cache T4TC.

4996 Great to see a large and nicely camo’d cache, many thanks for bringing us out to Clarks Beach, enjoyed the series. PS we spotted Barbie hanging out in the tree. TFTC

Quick find, and great to see a regular size container! Swapped TBs. Think Gadgetron spotted in the distance! TFTC

Nice walk along the beach. Decided to do all 3 caches without the car, so parked at the end and walked the beach path. Very windy and bleak today. Thanks.

Took the family out to Clarks Beach for a fathers day picnic. Cache was nearby the park so made the short walk and found the well hidden cache. TFTC

TB out, tftc. Another good camo job.

Kiwicouple's First to Find Geocoin visiting.

Had to make a delivery to the airport this morning and couldn't resist 3 unfound caches so travelled on to Clark's Beach. Drove to the end and worked my way back, so did #3 first. The cache was quickly found and the blank logbook signed.
FTF # 272 Certainly are nice sea views from this cache. Thanks.
