Whenuapai Bullet (Super City) Hobsonville, North Island, New Zealand

When searching for this one I was unaware at the time that it had been archived, as it was still in my gps. unit. However I found the cache shortly after I began my search. It was in amongst the pine needles etc. on the ground. I re-hid it best I could right near the spot where I had found it, I tucked under a small tree root. So it's actually still active, although sadly no-one will know as it has been archived by the co.

archived

Its been a while since this one has been found. Not a fan of gorse but thoroughly checked out the area anyway and no luck. Will keep an eye out for this one to see whether anyone finds it

On my way out to Whenuapai this evening for a spot of caching and this one was on my way. Thought id stop in and find this one but it wasnt to be! I had a feeling that this one could be difficult and i spent far too long trying to find it. Too good for me on this occasion! I will be back another day. Cheers.

Nice camo. Found quite easily but imagine the area could be a bit slippery when wet. TFTC.

A sneaky little hide. Found with not much effort, but it sure was slippery. TFTC

Really hadn't thought about caching when I left home in the morning, and then didn't when planning which cache to do, i still didn't think about what I was wearing. So approached this cache in my good work cloths and 3 inch heals (at least the weren't steletoes). Had second thoughts when crossing the grass trying not to sink in the wet ground, while reading the cache description. However when you got the caching bug you'll attemp anything for a cache. Not too much problem getting to the cache & finding, but retreating back to the caching wagon was a bit of a concern as I kept slipping. However as you can tell by my making it home to log, all is OK only one small graze. TFTC

A little climb and there it was.
No trouble. TFTC.

isnt this just the coolest location will be back for a photo that is just super cool.. wonder if it was trained to do that? escape from a circus perhaps? lol

This one has tomented me...everytime I drive past, couldn't find it the first time, this time however was determined, climbed up and down, fell over rolled around and then bingo, so happy, now everytime I drive past it won't be laughing at me. happy happy.

Must have been a rogue shot to get it here! Nice camo. Thanks.

This one had to be the most fun today. Thanks wasa for the laugh

Took a while and was amusing for mig as i scrambled around.

Arrived here and walked over to GZ before reading the description, so having got to the spot, had a quick rwad and thought I'd probably be in for a bit of a hunt here, but I honestly had the cache in hand within 5 seconds, and that was from standing on the grass - almost the quickest find of the day. Nice one, TFTC!!!

Soon located, amazing how invisible one is in a High vis jacket and clip board, very nice hide all tucked away, TFTC

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

Set out today with the aim of reaching our next milestone of 500 cache finds. Heading to Orewa and Shakespear Regional Park to do this.

This was on route so we decided to stop and grab it.

Nice quick find with not too many people around on Easter Saturday.

Found at 4:57 PM on 8/04/2012.

The huge geo trails around the GZ gave this one away big time.

Dont wear shorts or open shoes. Sneaky hide. Found with fireman-sam

#974: Bit the Bullet


TikvaNZ and I came to this one, wondering just what a "bullet" was. Now we know! Fun time trying to come up with this one, but in the end, TikvaNZ came up with it.

With a few hours of daylight left after completing the Dalmations and Piggies (109 caches) 8ManAfter and I continued to cache as we headed to the CBD. This find made it 124 for the day so far. A tricky hide indeed. Easy to miss. TFTC

Easy find thanks

Easy find due to good hint and description.

Finally got back to this one after finding it MIA a few months back. Got it off my to-do list today.

Cheers for the cache.

Great cache. Glad the tree has a few places to hold to climb down, and that I had Lycurgon to help me climb back up. Very fun cache for a driveby, TFTC

Fun little find. Terrain isn't the easiest, but too difficult. TFTC.

Great Little hiding spot, You would never know anything was even there.. The Rain starts..... TFTC.

Great hide! pity the rain started though...

Got this one just as the rain started, thought this was summer??

We sent MissFeez in to retrieve this one. Cool little hiding spot, TFTC

I'm like some others I'm sure, have visited this before without success, so glad of find today. TFTC

Glad I am shot of this tricky cache.

Yeah buddy quite easy

Out this way with dedicaching and little snakelion on the mission, sign off as many caches in this area and move to the next area in the the following weeks...

Was here before but could not locate the bullet but this time I did...

TFTC Kevs Team

Got it with snakelion. Nice hide

Quick find. TFTC!

This was my third of five finds this morning. The cache was found after a brief search.

TFTC

Easy find

Replaced and ready.

Didn't find it but found a spot where it might have been.

Can the owner please check.

Found, perfect clue!

1st for the day!

Found with agcnz on our weekend caching spree. Thanks for the cache.

A quick find with Crystal Fairy while caching in the area this afternoon. Signed log, TFTC!

Another happy find on a lovely winter's afternoon. t4tc

Easy find in the dark, gun had fired and ejected bullet, I found it lying on the ground, then found I had no pencil on me, so pic sent to owner , replaced where I guess it came from, nice hide! Thanks.

A bit slippery around the U shape today. But two circuits around and quickly found this sweet little number.

7047 Nice wee calibre cache… we were on to it like a bullet, TFTC.

Good little find. Quite easy

Surprisingly I found this one within seconds, small little cache hidden quite well.

Another DNF for us, owner needs to archive if unable to send someone to maintain!

Like I said 2 days ago we will check soon !

Just becouse it can not be found it does not mean it's not there !

Knowing what to look for, spent quite a bit of time in the area (not sure if it was before or after Glynn - but the gorse wasn't too trampled when I arrived so I might have been there earlier)

I did find a suspiciously right sized "hole" in the higher part of the two levels of GL @ GZ which looked like the place - but no cache to be found - could you check it Kev? [?]

Hmm, another claim for the White cane gang!
Seriously don't think it's there

Found while out caching with Zork for the day.

One of 262 finds with Team Y-Cacho's during our 24 hour Auckland cache raid epic.

OmaGosh, over and out...

Bit of a clamber involved, but then quickly spotted. One of 262 finds on 24 hour Auckland cache raid by Team Y-Cacho's. 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

Out and about with the Y-Cacho's.

Many thanks

Out this way on a caching spree. This one took much longer than it should have. Then again they nearly always seem easier in hindsight don't they. TFTC.

Quick find, TFTC

1st find of the year for us as we headed over to the west coast. TFTC

I'll double Wonderstuffs log.

Came back for another look at this one after stu4 was successful and this time I was in luck. Sneaky little hide (as you'd expect) and I didn't lose anything this time either! TFTC

Out and about tonight to grab a few out this way. Nice quick find wich surprised me as usualy micros tend to hide from me. TFTC.

No luck with this one either. Also not a big fan of Gorse!

No find for me here!

Ugh... Found the tree, then found some gorse, a few bees and a face full of spiderweb and for good measure think I may have dropped a coin inadvertently for good measure. Will try again soon!

"Go out and get some caches !"
"But it is too hot out there" - "What kind of a Bear are you !"
"OK alright."
Out with Bear today for a bit of Westy tidy up.

Still following the Guru. Bit hard to find - Dirt and all that.
Thanks for the Smiley
Cheers TT

Easy find the 1st of the morning. Was harder getting up the bank than finding the cache.

I need to polish up on my alphabet as I was looking around a couple of trees in the shape of vees not ewes. Once I found the correct letter I soon found the "naked cache". tftc

I obviously wasn't the first visitor today, followed the footprints in the dew laden grass for an easy find. Was surprised at the use of a nano at this location - which had oodles of room for something bigger - I guess there's no point buying geocoins or trackables when they won't fit into "geocaches" anymore.
TFTC

Nice very nice. Bang goes the "bullet" thanks again! TFTC.

Only ever seen one like this before (by itself that is). Glad I spotted it reasonably quickly as it could have been rather frustrating looking for this. TFTC

Easy find.
Cool tree.
TFTC

No problems here - everything you need to know was in the description.
Micro Bullet??? I call them little sucker

Qwik find after an evening out caching-loved the container-not seen one before-tftc

yep another one I followed the tracks of the previous bush crasher

Quick drive-by. Thanks.

Took a detour on our way home to visit some new caches in the area. Quick find T4TC.

Kiwicouple's First to Find Geocoin visiting.

Half expected to see another car parked near GZ by the time we arrived at the 3rd new Whenuapai cache, but the carpark was empty. Made our way to GZ and soon spotted the U shaped tree. The bullet took quite a bit longer to find. Opened it up to find the 3rd empty logsheet of the evening.
FTF # 305 Thanks for a challenging hunt!

Found. Log Later.
