Guess its gone but ive also left town
 
29-Sep-18
Looked all around in the rocks and roots. Couldn't find
 
11-Aug-18
Unfortunately like the rest we could not find it either. Its probably going to need a CO inspection to replace
 
11-Aug-18
Couldn’t find, lots of trees appear to have been cleared in this area.
 
30-Jun-18
Dnf this area had had some major work after the storm
 
20-May-18
Tree down
 
15-May-18
I seem to be in the right place but there has been a huge amount of storm damage
 
07-May-18
So if I can't find a cache and I know I'll get the chance to try again I don't bother DNF-ing it. But this was my 3rd attempt and the area has been badly storm damaged. Big trees gone. Access steps all wonky. Can the cache owner please checks the cache is still there? Cheers
 
10-Jan-18
Can’t see anything, and tide quickly coming in so had to abandon search Sad

#2338 A quick find on this warm day in Auckland. Spotted GZ quickly. Grabbed trackable. Will bring it back home. Interesting area here. TFBMH.
 
25-Nov-17
I wished, but it didn't happen. Love bird muggles camped at GZ and there was no access to be had.
I'll have to come back.

I was over this way after work so decided to collect some caches in the area. Thanks for a fun cache, quick find with not to many muggles this afternoon. Dropped off TB, TFTC
 
05-Nov-17
We didn't know this walkway was here so enjoyed an evening walk exploring the area and picking up a few caches along the way. No muggles in sight tonight, probably all at home getting ready for Guy Fawkes.
Nice hiding spot, TFTC.
 
05-Nov-17
The kids had been pestering yo come to the new playground at Eric Armitage park , so I decide to take a quick stroll along the waterside. Tftc

Log to follow
 
23-Aug-17
The first time I came by a couple were walking down the steps, obviously up to no good, so I went past to get the next one. On my return the coast was clear, littorally, so I was able to make the find without any eyes on me. TFTC.
 
04-Jun-17
Smile Found ... out for a bit of a walk on a cool, crisp Sunday afternoon ... had no idea where this track went but decided to explore around here anyway ... not many people about, a few dog walkers & a couple of keen fisherman done on the beach ... Took the TB:LN:SL ... TFTC ... #1,536 for us.
 
30-Apr-17
heading out for a reason to take and easy walk after a late breakfast... hmm must be getting old - why is it that cafes for breakfast just dont seem to be able put make tasty food - even the ones that are packed seem to always trip in some way... ah well still the reason to walk it off... had seen these here for a while but never quite got around to it,... so here we are.. had to widen the search a little as the "birds " where circling a slightly different area today.. but clue helped quite a bit;-)thanks
 
29-Apr-17
Found quickly while having a wander along the shoreline since the tide was out. Exchanged TB's. tftc
 
23-Apr-17
Pazzabella & I brought our collection of geodogs out for pleasant wander along this track.
A quick find for Pazza, while the geodogs sat patiently on the stairs - overseeing her & ensuring she did the job properly. Tftc Smile
 
23-Apr-17
A nice sized cache to drop a tb. Hidden in a good spot. Tftc.
 
20-Apr-17

25-Mar-17
Great when found quite tricky

05-Nov-16
Great walk there by low tide but I nearly wet my pants. Thanks for the cache.
 
04-Nov-16

10-Oct-16
Nice find
 
09-Oct-16

Had a few hours to spare this afternoon so decided to explore Pt. Chev, haven't really spent any time here so it was nice to discover this walkway and the parks in this area. the phone GPS had me directly on the footpath, but after a bit of a puzzled search - the hint wasn't matching anything I could see, expanded my search about 12M and found the cache. TFTC!
 
09-Aug-16
Quick find! TFTC! Beautiful place!
 
09-Jul-16
After exploring the Oakley Creek Walkway, decided to explore over this side. Nice spot and enjoyed the walk to GZ. SL. TFTC. Big Grin
 
19-Apr-16
Glad that it was more shelly and less muddy along the way to this one after going out to Serenity Island. Nice little walk along here in the afternoon sun. Saw a likely place and voila! The kids took a butterfly and a dinosaur and left a fairy and a pig. TFTC
 
08-Feb-16

Cool cache

Found this Geocash in 2012. Again visiting from South Africa and revisited it with Stroud NZ. Swopped Winglen's Wooly Baa Baa Cache Critters OC43KQ for a little guy on a Skateboard. Any objections if I take this little Baa Baa to travel South Africa?
 
20-Jan-16
Beautiful beach. Easy find following the hint. Sheep out, skateboard in.
 
15-Jan-16
Gorgeous spot that i must return to.

21-Dec-15
Lovely little spot to visit on this fine summers day. Tide almost full and plenty of Kite Surfers to watch. Nice quick find. We have never visited this reserve and coastal walk before. Gets a favorite for the location. TB dropped. TFTC
 
12-Nov-15
Clever hide

04-Oct-15
Nice cache. Not too easy, not too hard.
 
03-Oct-15
What a very pleasant day it is; relaxing by a nice beach, watching the winsurfers AND caching! It was hard to get a car parked here today thats for sure but I did and walked to the cache and found it. Thanks for that.
 
01-Oct-15
An easy find once I realised that my GPS had me looking in the wrong location. None of the travel bugs were there - someone else had beaten me to the one that Dorie&Dorus dropped off and the others appear to have been missing for a long time.
Lots more names in the logbook from the last few days than listed on this page.
Thanks for leading me to this area which I hadn't visited before Smile
 
30-Sep-15
Needed to think about the clue! Gps not very accurate, but got there in the end
 
Went with my cousin Dorie&Dorus, after a good search found it. Placed a travelbug in the cache.
TFTC
 
29-Sep-15
Found it on a nice beach spot with Annekepuppylover. Place a travel bug! Perfect place for the travelbug. TFTC
 
27-Sep-15
Found cache on the spare of the moment, lovely sunny day.

26-Aug-15
Quick find using hint and discription. GPS was jumping a little and never put us closer than 5 meters from actual cache. TFTC
 
16-Aug-15
Hi couldn't find it Sad

26-Apr-15
Kept walking around the rocks after finding some other caches. Couldn't find this one. Will have to try again.
 
06-Apr-15
Been looking for an hour last night, and an hour today..... Am starting to feel like it might not be here anymore :-/

I was out and about this morning so thought I'd grab a couple of caches while I was at it. I used to live just the other side of the motorway yet never knew this coastal path existed. Thank you for bringing me to this lovely part of the city. No kitesurfing today as there was no water but I have seen them often
 
23-Jan-15
What a gorgeous sunset we happened upon this evening. Just finished a dinner of fish n chips at Pt Chev beach with some caching friends. They mentioned this spot and we realised that we hadn't found it yet. A rowdy party down here tonight... Think there will be a heap of empties in the bins tonight. So pleased to have discovered this new spot. thanks!
 
21-Jan-15
On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to New Zealand as well. We first visited the south Island, then we came to the north island. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for Wink. Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.
 
21-Jan-15
Today we tried to find some challenge caches so we went into this area. Due to this cache was nearby we tried to find the box too. Furtunately it was an easy and fast found so we had more time to find some other caches. Thanks a lot for the cache.
 
21-Jan-15
Looked all around the small stairway but DNF. Sad
 
20-Jan-15
Definitely no kitesurfing when I visited - there wasn't any water, LOL! Yet another great little walk I knew nothing about - thanks for bringing me here. I left a finger puppet for the next visitor and took a New World mini shop collectable for myself - plus half a dozen empty bottles some bozo had left on the beach. Ugh, what's wrong with these people?! TFTC Smile
 
12-Jan-15
Found this one quickly to try and get out of the summer sun. Had tried to find it when we were noobs but now had no trouble. GPS was a bit off though. TFC
 
06-Jan-15
Nice quick easy find, TFTC. Off to find some more!
 
30-Dec-14
Found this cache during our little walk around the ocean-coast Smile This is just beautifull piece of nature and we felt in love with this place.. Breathtaking Smile Thanks for caches around here, greetings from czech republic
 
22-Dec-14
Nice day in the sun for a stroll along the beach. Master Ice from the Fire'n'Ice team brought along plastic bags and we filled them to overflowing with broken glass, bottles, plastic bags and non-biodegradable rubbish. Ice did a great job and really exemplified the CITO philosophy - hats off to you!

Now, back to the cache. Nice to find one large enough to put things in. Log nice and dry, replaced as found, didn't take anything, but left a friend for the cache...

Thanks for bringing us here, nice spot, well maintained cache.

Cache card left Wink

Didn't see any trackables, but was mainly signing and replacing...

Pretty fun cache. Nice dry log. Nice spot for a cache. Thanks for the cache. [^]

Thanks for the cache, nice evening for a walk along the beach watching the sunset in the sky
 
13-Oct-14
The sun has set, its low tide, and in the few moments of sunlight the cache was found. Was a little worried that the GPS was about 8m out, but with the hint, the cache was quickly found. Thanks for the hide, its beautiful here.
 
26-Sep-14
A nice short stroll to find the cache, a couple of kitesurfers here this morning. TFTC

Out with the boys, great day easy find

What better way to celebrate international geocaching day than extending it to 40 hours, courtesy of the international date line, and finding some interesting caches!!

A very nice spot indeed! A challenge brought me close by, so why not keep walking? And I definitely did not regret coming this way, very nice peaceful spot, deserted in the rainy morning, thank you for bringing me here.
