As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Pretty sure this has been muggled as found empty container laying in a tree. CO might want to check on this one!

3 months, 3 DNF's, CO response?
Love the childrens writing on the cache page, do they miss going out cache hunting Trev?

No luck either... perhaps it needs a check?

Found the obvious spot, but no cache while out and about caching with sonia26642 this evening

Couldn't find this one

Not sure if it's there anymore

Pretty sure we found where it should have been.

Good spot to cut the corner.
Nice quick find for us. TFTC.

Found today but it lacks a proper log book. ..people have been signing the back of a small card ...

Found it. Took track able coin. Thanks!!!

Beautiful spot with a lovely steam etc. Ttfc ! Found in the dark. Container has two trackables now, the two travel tags werent there on my visit. Limited log container a bit damp

Cool hiding spot. No log book!

Easy to find fun for kids

Great fun

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

Great one!

Was thinking too hard about it but then thought it through a little less and was a quick find

We were out and about for some Greenhithe caching with KiwifruitsNZ today. This was such a lovely spot for this Family Cache, what a sweet concept! We swapped some trackables. TFTC!

Today was another fun-filled day of laughs and caching for Team KFNZ/Vamber.

Enjoyed the walk to this cache and then a quick find. Beautiful spot.

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

Had a bit of trouble to start with but then stopped, rethought my strategy and made a quick find. Disturbed a cloud of hungry mozzies tho so quickly signed the card and bid a hasty retreat!
Pretty little spot, thanks!

Nice easy find. Appears log book is missing though.

Reperio at 1520 with Sol de lune.

Found on Day 6 of my visit to the North Island as a part of the NZ Mega event...and I met up with Albida33 and Sol de lune for a day of caching before heading back to the NZ Mega event for the closing festivities. As Albida was feeling a little under the weather, we dropped him off at the event site and headed out to make use of the remaining daylight to grab a few more caches. We found this one without too much problem...although there was no log book per se...so we signed what we could.

Gratias Trav007.

Day two of the Mega and time to grab a few of the caches centred around the venue. No problems and another great day of caching was had. Thanks for this one.......

Easy find once i looked on the right side of the track and in the correct flax bush. This one should have been alot quicker and easier for the size of container maybe i should trust my gps a wee bit more!

Excellent. Thanks for the cache. Due to missing log we signed the back of a fire service card found in the cache.

As per Adnshees log, its a lovley area and a huge same that it has been muggeled. Tftc

Beautiful little bit of bush.. such a shame the cache was muggled. It's still there but inside is pretty wet and dirty and most contents missing.
TFTC

Out and about for a spot of caching after work this afternoon. his is a lovely spot well worth a cache. A shame that it was muggled and is now in a sorry state. Cheers for the cache placement!

Lycurgon and I rocked up to the GZ and I went one side he went the other. I found the missing lid and he found the cache, obviously it was more than a bit damp but now it's back together . We put it back where we think it came from but it needs a new log book as that has gone missing.
Day 18 of International Caching Month cheers!

Needs a new logbook. We found the lid and the lidless cache in two places, and reunited them, but no logbook to sign.

Out picked up some caches, and decided to find one more to make an even 10, so swung by this one the way home. Reveurs found the camoed lid in one location and I found the rest of the cache where it looked like it should be. So we reunited the lid with the cache. But there was no log book to sign.

The camo was well done. I like the sight, the stonework on the nearby bridge is pretty cool. My 522nd cache, and the 18th day of a International Month of caching. Thanks for the cache.

Found it but some one had tipped it out on ground. No lid

As I was driving towards the Greenhithe Biggie I noticed that I could easily make a small diversion to seek this cache. What a nice looking area. Hey kids, that's a great camo job you made on the container. Thank you for placing the cache.Cheers.

Mr and Mrs alligatorsnz out making a rounder bout way home using mrs alligatorsnz's gps, while the name seemed familar to Mr A, the approach was quite different via little walk ways.. well until approaching GZ he realised it was the same as before - mmm the down side of two individually managed GPS in the house...

Nearly gave up on this one, Great camo. Had family over from OZ never done this before. They love it. Thanks

Greenhithe cachinh

nice find, added something from the blue sea):

what a neat spot.. a little longer to find then the last.. until i realised i had stepped over it several times when i spotted a similar spot on the other end, neat camo too -a ll though one glued over the word systemia would finish it nicely;-) had a TB burning a whole in my pocket so glad it was big enough to receive - have to come back and explore this area when i have more time - really nice.. TB in

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

While driving along the motorway, we decided to make a quick detour and stop for a cache. After parking close by, we made a quick find as the cache was partly exposed. There were a couple of names in the book that may have been muggle names and probably explains why it was exposed - but the cache is fine and we re-hid how it would have been intended. Nice camo on this one, thanks for the cache!

chec was taking a bit of time checking this out so thought i'd lend a hand. Just as i got there she stepped down and found it.

Thanks for the great cache. We especially liked the camo and the book camo. Great effort on your part as we could see this took some effort. We look forward to finding more of your caches.

Great camo, quick find, tftc

Great camo, I walked right past it but Littlefella got it and called me back! Cheers, nice and shady here.

Found next to the path exposed with the lid off and some contents possibly missing. Have re hid as best I can.

Thx tfc

Great cache. My 4 y/o found it and loved the camoflage. Thanks for your hard work in putting it together.

Easy find

awesome hide

Dropping off TB Schumi

Took the kids to find this cache today. We've found it a couple of times before as my parents live just down the road. They're moving out of Greenhithe after 15 years of being here so thought we'd go find it one last time. This cache has been the introductory cache for many friends and family, so thank you! Took the t-shirt travel bug which will now be heading back home to the Manawatu with me

Nice family friendly.. Quite spot
Tftc

Working nearby so took time out to have a quick search. Easy find with the clue. Just loved the camo that the kids did. Looks great.

I had a special little travel bug(T shirt) given to me by someone who brought it all the way from England and I wanted to place it in a special cache so that is why I chose your family cache. Your cache was found by someone in our group who had not been geocaching before. Although she was given some help from our trusty little dog Fergus. We hope the T shirt travel bug spends a bit of time in NZ before going back overseas. TFTC

As a Dad it was good to see a family based cache, TFTC

New gps and it works great

Found it with Fire-mansam

Nice to find a nice big cache with some good swag in it. Havent any swag worth swapping in quite a while. In stinky the sheep. Out Panda.

Nice spot

Lovely place for a cache!

Quick find. TFTC

Found by the bright one.pretty cammoed.like the log book.

[ Found late afternoon after looking in the wrong place, got the hint of GC2ERC6 mixed!!!! Not helpful !!!. Great camo and I couldn't find the log book until I realised that it was well camoed in the bottom of the container... Trying to "tick-off" a few in the Greenhithe area today, specifically around the bridge. Interesting as a pedestrian, surprising what you miss as a motorist !!!!! TFTC ]

Lovely area. Great camo and log book. TFTC.

An easy little cache which my brothers children (hollygolikelynz) found very exciting.Their 2nd cache! we look forward to doing some in the UK with them plus will enjoy hearing how they get on with others in NZ in the future!

Brilliant!! Kids loved it. Thanks so much. This was our second one ever!

Thanks for the great cache. No sign of TB. TNLN

Awesome cache. And so close to our home in Rame Road. Thanks guys!!!

A nice easy cache! Good hiding. Loved the notebook.

Waked past this one initially and only spotted it on my way back. It was nice to get a cache on my birthday and I left "Trüffel" TB to celebrate.

After a short afternoon in the area, finding nothing but micros, we couldn't go home (even though Little Miss PNZ's dinner was ready!) without finding at least one cache with swaps for little people.

The name of the cache fit the bill, and we weren't disappointed! I have to say, Sam and Ben, you did a fantastic job on the cache container - I particularly like the rocks on the side. Hannah - you have the neatest handwriting that I think I have ever seen.

I go geocaching with my daughter Bethany (Little Miss PhantasmNZ age 5), and she lover to find geocaches with lots of toys to swap. She took a bunny rabbit toy and a belt pocket, and left a kung-fu panda toy, and a "Pedro" toy (from the movie Rio - Bethany's favourite movie)

A message from Beth:
"That geocache was nice, I got a bag and long eared guinea pig. It was missing a few legs, but I didn't mind, it has long ears, and I'm watching Aesops theatre, and it's quite a little scary, there are mouses and a lion, and the lion's trapped."

TFTC !!!!!!!!!!

Clever hide! TFTC!

Thanks! Really well camouflaged. My 5, 3 & 2 year old kids loved finding this so close to their grandparents house.

Awesome find kids! We are up from Palmerston north and this is our first find in Auckland! Well done with your cache! We are dropping a trackable for you too

Found myself at 1am just about standing on top of this cache after a successful FTF hunt in the nearby reserve. Looked in the first obvious spot, nothing there, then in the second and voila, a very nicely camouflaged cache. Opened it up to find a few items and a geocoin, but where's the logbook - oh, it's camouflaged too! All good, signed the log, took the geocoin and put it back as found. Nice one! TFTC!!!

Good cache, lots of cool toys

A happy find whilst out on a sunny winter's afternoon. t4tc

Nice big size cache with cool camo.
Even a camoed logbook.
TFTC

Great Camo on the box, nice !

Thanks very much Ben/Sam and Hannah a really nice large cache with cool camo. Sorry dropped off all my tb's at earlier caches, so nothing to leave.
Thanks for the cache!!! sl tnln.

Took a bit of hunting but the boys eventually found it. Thanks Hannah, Sam & Ben.

Nice easy find. TFTC
