Wellington's Windiest Picnic Table (Wellington) Seaview, North Island, New Zealand
By Hurricane Luke on 16-Jan-11. Waypoint GC2MFBT

Wellington's Windiest Picnic Table is now just a table. Maybe the constant exposure to the salt spray and gales saw the demise of the seats.
It looks very forlorn so I'm going to take the opportunity to retire this cache, one of our most popular but also high maintenance. C'est la vie!

until i can check the site

There certainly is no magnetic Eclipse container on the derelict structure I found Wind and cold but not the prize

Found with markhnz, hannahhnz and hollyhnz.

As others have said the picnic table is in fairly bad shape. The cache might disappear if they decide to fix it.
A nice spot.
Found with hayleyhnz, hannahhnz and hollyhnz after doing some ice skating in the nearby facility.
Thanks.

Not so windy today, but could be one of Wellingtons worst picnic tables. Cache all good though.

In the area this afternoon for the first time as a geocacher and enjoying getting a few.
With this one I concur 100% with the previous logger.

The picnic table looked a little worse for wear, but the cache was still in place and in great condition
And yes it was windy

The seat is broken, the box is full of water and the wind is blowing a hoolie! The perfect cache TFTC

Lived up to its name!

Wellington on a nice day is wonderful and no strong wind today. The cache container is a bit weathered but the log sheet is OK. Many thanks CO for looking after this cache.

Possibly the quickest find I have ever made! Not too windy here today, but it was beginning to pick up as I moved on. TFTC

#455. Having taken a friend geocaching for the first time, and come up with 2 DNF's, K was determined to find this one. Bingo! First place I felt. Nice easy park 'n' grab. Now to go back to those other 2 some time. Tftc.

During my holiday in New Zealand I stay on the campground nearby. So it was a easy walk to visit this place. It wasn‘t windy today .

Thank you for this cache!

Out caching in the early hours of the morning, don't ask why! Needed a good search here but got there pretty easily, tftc

After I visited the first cache of New Zealand I continued my trip around Wellington.

It was raining all day - so perfect to go for some caches.

Quite a cold day but at one point I rented a bike to go for spotting Pinguin - unfortunately without success. Anyway, it was a nice but short trip to New Zealand .

Thank you very much for the nice and good maintained caches and all the best from Switzerland

Easy find spotted as walking up tftc

On a visit from Scotland to follow the British & Irish Lions rugby tour and pick up a few Geocaches along the way, nice day for picking up this cache, beautiful country and friendly people, tftc

Nice quick find on a perfectly still winter morning. Didn't last long though, as the Southery picked up and the rain began to fall soon after we left gz. Favourite point added for the very entertaining description!

A bit of a habit coming down this road now. Quick find where all good at GZ. Thanks for another smilie.

Thanks to the Cache Owner who has gone to the trouble of creating this cache, determining the coordinates and then averaging them to make sure they are accurate, placing the cache and registering it online for our enjoyment. Without Cache Owners doing their bit, there wouldn't be a fun hobby that we all love - so again a big THANK YOU. For our bit, all we need to do is find and log the cache that was carefully placed for our personal enjoyment. As we log it we should consider that the Cache Owner also needs to maintain it - when the log sheet fills up, they must replace it. When the container becomes full of water, they need to empty it. When the container is broken, they need to repair it. When it goes missing they need to find or replace it. Well..... the great news is we can do our bit too - make sure your log doesn't take an entire page - just a name and date. If full of water, empty and dry the cache as best as possible. Be careful when handling the cache and make sure you replace it where you found it. If it has a bag, seal it. Just remember - the Cache Owner showed respect to you by placing the cache - please respect them and fellow cachers that follow you by being careful with the cache. And if you have a spare log sheet and the cache you are at needs one, please leave it behind. Finally, if the cache does need maintenance, please let the Cache Owner know - you can log a Maintenance Log or you can drop a line to the Cache Owner. Above all - have fun and remember the Geocaching Code.

Good camo windy spot alright!! Quick find tftc

The windiest picnic table isn't so windy and in fact was very calm when I found the cache. TFTC

Nice easy find on a very calm autumn day! TFTC

Found it. A nice sunny afternoon caching in Seaview, Petone. Cate visited while on her travells. Was a little busy, took a gap between muggle visitors.

Quick find, all good here!

I was checking on caches that i had not visited or had not logged and discovered a small group of caches that i had or Did Not Find and which had not been logged so these are rather late logs. I drove around behind the main road and around the coast line on this port road. I had previously found a couple on port road but needed to complete this coastal route and locate the caches along here. This was my second stop.
This certainly is a windy spot and i do not imagine many would partake of a picnic at this spot. the day i visited was extremely windy! Thank you for this cache and another smiley face.

Nice view, TFTC

(un)fortunately I picked one of those 0.87% days to come visit this world famous tourist attraction. The biggest challenge in completing this cache was getting access to the table between muggles using it for a picnic (how inconsiderate of them). Quick find, cache is in good condition. *TFTC anzac61 #130*

I think we got to the right spot, and could see a rusty outline mark where the cache might have been.

Nice spot on a lovely day. A little wind but didn't blow me away. TFTC

Desolate industrial windswept area, day threatening rain… but easy find and fresh logbook improves things; TFTC

I wanted to do this yesterday when it was blowing a gale to keep in character with the cache description. Muggles ruined that plan. Returned today for a quick find on a pleasant decidedly non windy day. TFTC.

Quite windy here today, but don't think the new "streamlined design" is going anywhere

Found at 12:42 - #6529

New cache container with new waterproof log installed today.

So awesome! TFTC

Quick find while being buffeted by the wind.

Lid is now separated from tin. It still fits snugly but will need attention soon.

Found with eldest son on relatively calm day. Still nearly lost log in breeze though!

Nice easy Monday out tftc

Nice spot. Quick find. TFTC

Great find on a freezing but beautiful day! TFTC

It sure is one windy picnic table. Had to chase after the log after it blew away in the wind. Found after a lot of fun ice skating TFTC

Found it on a non-windy day. Tftc

Found after lots of fun ice skating across the road. Pretty windy today. It added to the fun. Tftc

Found by mrs lgm after we both looked in rhe same place and didnt see it. Second look sorted. Very windy

Pretty windy today!

A tad breezey on the day of the Winter Solstice. A new easy find even with the GPS showing I was 20m out

Luckily not too windy tonight! Tftc

TFTC

So windy!

'Tis the windiest spot in Welly alright!

I arrived on one of the few occasions that a picnic might be possible here. Fabulous views! TFTC

Had flown to Palmerston North with our sales account manager to visit a few customers and then drive down to Wellington to visit some more.

Luckily everyone at works knows about my geocaching addiction and trips like this have to accommodate a couple of finds.

Was driving around here searching for the next customer to visit and past this and thought to myself gee that would make an awesome place for a cache.

Arrived early at customers and my work colleague says did I want to see if we could find a cache. I checked and what do you know. There was a cache in the VERY spot I thought would have made a good hide.

We drove to GZ. I jumped out and bought the cache back to the car for signing duties. Returned to its hiding spot and jumped back in the car.

We arrived back at the customers with 10 minutes to wait until our appointment!

TFTC

Easy to find .... nice mild southerly tonight should make the ride back to naenae quick

Out and about in cold southerly drizzle on Good Friday morning. Stopped by this location to see what I could find.

To my surprise there were a few people around and I had to wait for a lady and her two dogs to go past before I started the search and completed the log.

Thank you

Cherrys Rule

Well wasn't very windy while we were here!! Great views thanks for bringing us to this spot. Tftc

What a view!

Nice hide tftc

What stunning views from this windy spot. The cache was a quick find (what a strong magnet!). Signed log and returned cache, then admired the view for a while. Very windy today, I watched a yacht taking advantage of the summer sunshine and the wind. Thanks for the cache. Worth a FP.

Found with GBNZ and Glad-NZ TFTC

Did a drive by a few days earlier but area occupied by picnickers so didn't get a chance to look. This time quick n easy. Found with NZ1 and GBNZ. TFTC.

Some tme left to go to the ferry,so we found some caches. Thanks.

Not windy at all this stunning Christmas morning, quick find.

On holiday from England and to celebrate our 60th birthdays we are exploring New Zealand for 30 days in a campervan. We are trying to find a few caches in every place we visit. Today is day 11 of our trip and we had an hour or 2 to spare before catching our ferry over to the South Island. As this area wasn't too far from our campsite we thought we would come and find some before going to the ferry terminal. We went straight to this one, but as the name implies we had to make sure we held onto the log sheet, otherwise it would have gone flying. TFTC

Found this one while on a holiday from our home in Whangamata. TFTC

#2093 A perfect evening for a bike ride after doing some chores at home. Great spot. Cache easily found and replaced. TFTC!

Fortunately we spotted this sneaky little hide straight away so save ourselves any dramas. Only a slight southerly breeze today so would have been a great spot for a picnic. SL TFTC

Thanks for placing the cache. Nice quick find on a Saturday afternoon.

Great hide.

Chilly here today!! TFTC

On a road trip to Wellington from Hastings, and this was one of the finds here in and around town. Thanks for the cache.
Wet this afternoon, but not very windy yet. Nice quick find, saw it on my approach to GZ

Sure was windy! Container lid rusted off.

Rain & southerly gale. Top rusting but log dry. TFTC

#1325 Couldn't see it for looking. Nice calm beautiful day. Makes you wonder what the fuss is about... not. TFTC

title says it all...tfth

Third cache for the day which again was a quick find. A nice spot to be this morning with not too many muggles running & biking by, with not a breath of wind.

Thanks for the placement.

Very windy today.

#626. Quick find. Had a muggle fishing close by so had to employ maximum stealth to grab, sign and return the cache. Nice views. Not too windy today. TFTC

Found it

Quick find on a not very night TFTC

Quick find great view. Container lid falling off so placed hard up to hold it

TFTC, all in good nick but bit of a cold wind

A quick find with TregearP on a cool drizzly morning.

Tftc.

despite the streamlined container the sea is still eating the lid off and now has no hinges left may need a new container.

Living up to its reputation. Nice sea breeze blowing in. Tftc

Very windy! Nice easy find tftc

It was quite windy here today, sunny too though which was nice Found quickly with LCBuilder

Very windy! Wouldnt like to eat my lunch at this table! Thanks for the cache

Easy find. Lid keeps falling off when replacing. Not windy at all when visited. Tftc

dad had to pick something up from his new work location so i made the most of his trip by grabbing this cache. took a bit of searching almost gave up it was that well camouflaged (only cos impatient dad was with me). nice spot and great hide. tftc

Breeze picking up slowly. Not real picnic weather

TFTC =)

Not so much wind today, and almost free of muggles this evening. The lid has come away from the rest of the container, but this is usually the case for these types in marine settings. However it still holds on with a firm grip, much like the container itself! TFTC

Went for a run - thought there may be a cache at turnaround spot and sure enough ... No pen so scratch q and j as found with quinella . Not windy today!!! Tftc on a beautiful Christmas Eve

Found with Jillymc . Totally calm and sunny!
Thanks
