Fire Away (Otago) Lower Portobello, South Island, New Zealand
By Cumbyrocks on 02-Nov-10. Waypoint GC2HF1W

Looks like it's disappeared again. A little tired of having to replace this cache so archiving until I can think of a way to make a cache at this location last!

You'd think it should be easy to find but no: DNF
Did not Fire today.

Nice find while in the area on holiday. (edited to visit a personal trackable)

Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'how ever long it takes' NZ tour.

Thanks for setting this up.

Mud & Kim

Took a few minutes to find. Very busy place on a great saturday afternoon!
Did this on the way back from Vertigo Extreme

TFTC!!

Fancy that. Mr 10yrs has played all over this gun and we never noticed this cache.

Quick find which surprised me thought I was in for the long haul. Great spot Tftc

Oh, wer had to look for it for some time, but then we were successful. TFTC!!!

Found it together with Hannni45. TFTC!!!

Gorgeous afternoon and we decided to take a drive. Couldn't resist looking for a few caches. Found quite quickly but then couldn't put it back because muggle arrived with "baby mugglies" and they were climbing all over GZ!!!!!! See photo. Had to wait ages. TFTC

TFTC At Long last we got it!!!!!

TFTC

Easy find but thank you.
TFTC

Raining! Found easily. TFTC

Replaced with a magnetic nano till I work out something more clever.



You know It's Not About The Numbers

Ahhh yes called into this little beauty on Friday folling a visit to the aquarium. Deffently missing.

I should have checked the site before i flew to dunedin. as it was my little one and i searched and searched but alas couldnt find.I even had her put her small arm inside the gun!Oh well hopefully it will be up again for next years visit home.

Looked over it, under it, round it and in it, all to no avail. Either an extremely good hide or muggled again. Keen to get this one as we like Cumbryrocks' caches.

Grrrr...muggles...

Hope to get out here in the near future to replace.

Had a good hunt all over but couldn't find it. I hope it's just me being short sighted and it hasn't disappeared again.

Having a picnic. Is there a cache here somewhere. Oh 99 m away. Great spot.

Quick drive by today, found with ease and retrieved. pens not working, but had one of our own. got the log rerolled and placed back in the cache. returned to hide. TFTC

GeoSon wasn't interested in giving camoflage. Luckily, I found it quickly

Now we are getting somewhere

A fairly easy find despite the two muggles also having a close-up look at the gun. They wandered away being none the wiser to the cache hidden there.
Having a young boy with me helped give cover as to why we were looking at the gun.
TFTC.

Cache replaced and is all good to go.

A quick find by Mum, I was busy eating my ice cream!

No sign of cache despite a thorough look.

Another not found. We think you must check your cache....
Eeltinkies from Holland

Had a good look around this, no sign of the cache, read previous logs

As an ex Gunner I am always interested in these things.

This one is gone sadly.

No sign of the cache today with GSVNoFixedAbode and Rediguana.

Had a reasonable hunt for this, but weren't able to find it. Cheers Gav

had a good search but no sign of it

After a thorough search with a torch we gave up. Only sign of a cache ever being here was a pen lying underneath.

Easily found. TFTC

Haven't been able to get on the internet - hence late log. Nice find while staying at the local campsite.
TFTC. Left Thanksgiving travel bug

A great one for Nik he took photos and saw the cache while shooting. Left behind HTHIJG with his new tag

An easy stop and grab. Enjoyed reading the history behind the guns restoration as I finished a coffee.
Cache was well exposed so pushed it into the breech just a little more, hope no 'Gunners' with big hands come searching.

Very interesting history thanks
Neither of the listed TBs in cache

Awesome spot. Driven past and never stopped before. TFTC

Very quick find with Sarge and Mandz, Very interesting read. TFTC
+ Geocoin

Found with Jemnz and Mandnz. I remember playing on this every Sunday about 50 years ago when I had to visit Auntie Annie- she did make amazing pikelets with lashings of cream and raspberry jam though.

TFTC

Found cache lying out on the ground,all it contained was the log book. No geocoin spotted. Txtd owner and have replaced (hopefully) as per instructions.

4.10pm. Interesting piece of history on the doorstep of where we are staying. Found without any difficulty.

Nice easy find on our way out to the point. Thanks for the interesting history.

Thanks for this.So good to stop and learn about these historic things

TFTC Very interesting

I just love those historic caches. Thanks

An easy find on a great day down the peninsula cache hunting. TFTC

Mine & GP's 7th find today after lunch at the cafe- fish pie was perfect for the weather. To my horror GP found it while I faffed around with my Gps. False threats were made.

Nice historic find.
left a canadian dime.

Gotta love the sense of humour that bought this here! TFTC

TFTC

Fun, quick find. Rocks all around are very slippery! TFTC

Nice spot. There is a very good playground nearby that has some great equipment which Guwapo enjoyed although Papa thinks some of them were still there when he played here as a young boy. Salamat!

Nice little seaside vantage point. It didn't take long to find the cache in its hiding spot. TFTC

Bullseye! Lovely feature. Thanks for showing us.

Great cache Thankyou

Easy find in the rain on our day trip. TFTC.

WAS a nice Cache

A quick easy find with Lynley & Ron TFTC

The first cache for lynley and ron. The start of some great fun.

Quick Found before moving on to the Albatros Center

Staying at the motor camp and what better way to spend a cold, showery day than geocaching the 'close-to-roads'.

Found eventually after ignoring the GPS indication. Gave the gun a good inspection in the process.
TFTC

Found this at the end of a great day in the sun on the peninsula. Was my first find so thanks

found with my sister when she came to dunedin.

Haha, GPS coordinates were WAY off (like 15m with 5m accuracy...) So we spent like half an hour looking for it in the bank...we were about to quit, but I decided to take a seat on the canon...and there I saw it!!!!!!!
TFTC!!

great hide, TFTC

Found it! found the coin. I think its going for a trip to Aussie. TFTC

Found it while travelling around New Zealand with Blankenovi. TFTC!!!

Found it during my roadtrip through NZ. TFTC

Great piece of history.
TFTC.

A beautiful spot. TFTC. Dropped a geocoin wanting to visit Coastal areas of the world. Couldn't think of a better spot.

Found when staying at Portobello before doing the 15km Otago Peninsula walk. Interesting.

nice wee spot tftc ,, RIP all the fallen ones ,,,

A quick find! Good that it isn't a micro on this gun! we never find those... T4TC and greetings from Switzerland!

During our 4 weeks holiday in the southern island of NZ we did not only find an exiting countryside and wildlife. The many caches brought us sometimes to places we didn´t expect or planned to go to.
Thank you very much for this. Greetings from Germany.

Found on our first visit to Dunedin, TFTC

Found on our first visit to Dunedin area, TFTC

Cloudy and rather cold morning.

Quick find by Grab, out with Grandad TomTom. TFTC.

Easy find.tftc

I haven't notice this before, TFTC

Have driven past this site many times before and never noticed the gun before. An interesting background; I wonder where the second one ended up? TFTC!

Well done on the restoration, the Krupp is fantastic! Had the cache in hand pretty quickly on 08 January 2011 at 12:39:00. This was out sixth and final cache for the day, after a busy morning exploring around Portobello Rd.

Kids loved searching around for this one

Sweet cache, thanks!

Attempted to retreive cache with help from meekamax. Could see cache but couldn't reach container.Here for national bowls champs. Cant play bowls in rain but can go geocaching.
