Like others, we weren't able to find this one. Think this may need some attention...
Today was another fun-filled day of laughs and caching for Team KFNZ/Vamber.
Believe this cache is missing as we could see where it should have been. Maybe time for archiving????

Looked everywhere no luck. Did find a hole in the wall where it might have been ?
Great camo - get a fav point for that, nice spot. Jamboree this year! Tftc!

Found while out exploring Greenhithe on foot to get some exercise after flying up this morning from PN. A novel hide. TFTC Trav007.
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.
After picking up some new caches in Hobsonville, we headed out to Greenhithe to grab some caches out there. Soon found something that fitted in with the hint and sure enough there was the cache! Nice camo job - a favourite. TFTC!

having been a scout many a year ago, I can't imagine the trouble we would have got into so close to the sea, TFTC
Amazing how you start been suspicious of everything that looks even slightly out of place while looking for caches. Would be an in-lightening experience for those not used to these caches.
Been trying to find this one for quite some time and finally did it today. Even visiting when the tide was "out".....Like a previous cacher, just a little gung-ho and over confident !!!! Wonder how we had missed it previously, had noticed it before but didn't click nor inspect closely enough!!! Another clever hide TFTC !!.......
Didn't take time trying to understand the clue. So hastily took off in completely the wrong direction. When that gung-ho approach didn't work (which tends to happen more often than not), I started thinking about the clue and...ah ha the cache was soon found. Really nice camo. TFTC.
Had a slightly different interpretation of the hint on the way there but on arrival my thinking was proven to be wrong, luckily mel_ramsay was thinking properly and she quickly made the very cool find. Nice spot and a good day to be out. TFTC
Arrived at this one and had a look at the clue and questioned evilno9 about his interpretation...my brain wasn't working. But when he took off in the opposite direction to where my GPS was pointing, I had another think, and then it clicked. And knowing it was one of Trav's it was always going to be creative. Put the two together, and bingo there was the cache, staring me in the face! Thanks Trav, nice spot this. Will definitely be back to explore this area a bit more.
Quick and straightforward find. As previously a UK Scouter it's nice to visit a scout HQ whilst living here in NZ.

Nicely done - really love hides that are in plain sight 
(first of a few trav caches today)
container was hanging out of it's hidey hole a bit when I found it - might need a bit more packing.
Cheers for the cache!

Found it incredibly quickly.

Our first Geocache adventure. My son loved deciphering the clue. Took us about 1/2 hour to find. We're hooked.
A beautiful day for ticking off some caches along Upper Harbour Drive. Very clever concealment and a lovely spot. TFTC
Found after a short search on a walk around the peninsula this morning. Signed log, TFTC!
Anchored overnight in Lucas Creek with other sailing buddies. We decided to stretch out legs and find a cache. Forgot to bring the GPS ashore, but found this one with clues only. New caching buddy much impressed. Nice hide. TFTC
3899 Great hide but didn't fool us at all - well done Trav007 always fun finding one of your well constructed caches. Nice views from here too, lucky Scouts! TFTC
#971 Out and about enjoying the sunshine and adding some smiley faces to the map. Quick find. Nice spot. SL. TFTC. 
Parked by your cache while driving the Team Y-Cacho's Auckland cache raid 24 hour mission
Many thanks for your cache, plan to be back soon with Butterfly_Lady

OmaGosh, over and out...

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.
The scouts were having a boatmasters course when we arrived. The scout leader came out just after we found the cache so I distracted him by talking about Geocaching of all things while the others logged it. Seems he knew nothing about Geocaching and still has no clue that there is one on his building.
Many thanks

One of the team spent a few minutes educating the local scout leader about what geocaching is! (He had no real idea!!) Meanwhile the rest of the team grabbed, logged and replaced out of his sight, so he's none the wiser about this cache anyway.

Needed a cache today to fill in agap on my calendar. was nearby seeing a friend and tis was closest. Loved the camo although still thinking about how it ties to the hide? Sure Mrs B would get it if she had seen it.TFTC
10:18 - Found by the G2 Ace Cache finder, its a nice spot indeed. Great hide very interesting hide. Thanks for the cache.
Down in the depths of Greenhithe, a little hide away. Quick find, as we just found a very similar one further west. TFTC.

Finally the Grandkids are back out with me again and we are invading the near west, ie. Greenhithe. The camo certainly had the kids baffled but not the old fella.
Cheers for the cache.

The GPS was a bit confused, send us into the mud. No way! - Read the hint, looked around and here it was. Nice hide and unusual camo

Just as well no one around today! Presume the Scouts know, heh heh. Nice hide. TFTC
Spent many evenings many years ago at a scout hall similar to this. Good memories and hide. TFTC
Working out this way.... well sort of. So I thought, why not a lunchtime find... Thanks.
Quickly headed out the door soon after the notification came out. Arrived at GZ just as Kiwicouple were returning to their car so a close 2TF. A very sneaky hide. TFTC
Wasn't expecting a cache alert tonight, but still managed a quick getaway when it came through. Arriving at the Scouts hide'a'way we followed the GPS and soon spotted something that fitted the hint. On opening the well camoed cache we found a nice blank logsheet.
FTF # 290 Thanks.
Rosmar arrived just as we were getting back into our car, so stopped for a chat. After last night's TXT alert failure we also took the time to check out on the laptop where tonights other new caches were before heading for home.
