found it! that was a tricky one, really nice Very Happy tftc
 
01-Sep-15
Surprisingly easy find on my way to a friend's house. I thought it would be harder, because I often struggle with G-2's caches. Maybe I have finally gotten used to his way of thinking! Today I basically walked up to the cache and picked it up. The hardest part was getting the log out and signing it in my best microscopic writing. Thanks again for the cache Smile
 
29-Aug-15
Was in the area as someone had posted about being at the local Saturday market selling caching supplies so didn't need much more of an excuse for a trip to the area for a visit and of course for some local caching.

Well we had decided that we were going to head home when I spotted 'just one more cache' only 130m away where it would be rude not to stop so we did. Thankfully walked straight up and made the find as it is quite an exposed little spot here.

Thanks for the cache.

The business end was not attached so back to review the site and low and behold there it was! Thankfully we had some fishing line and were able to make a running repair which should keep it active for the time . Will need CO to check at some point to determine if more work is required.
 
02-Aug-15
Out to keep our G-2's BG streak going - well it feels like that on the shore........ Had us scratching our heads initially but with a bit of good fortune a clue revealed its self. The business end was not attached so back to review the site and low and behold there it was! Thankfully we had some fishing line and were able to make a running repair which should keep it active for the time being. Very pleased to chalk up a smiley face on this tricky little number.
 
20-Jul-15
we were at the exact coordinates but couldn't find it, please check it is still there

Too hard
 
05-Apr-15
Well at nearly ten months since my last visit it really is time to turn this frown up side down and earn a smiley. I had noted a few DNFs so was a little apprehensive on approach to GZ. But I need not have worried. After a minute or two of careful examination I spotted the camo piece I had found on my last visit. On extracting I was pleased to find that there was a cache attached this time. Cheers for replacing this cache!
 
22-Mar-15
No luck with this one, however didn't have much time so I'll blame that
 
28-Jan-15

Having found this previously I took a friend. This time it was lying on ground beside its past hiding place and sadly the cache has broken off. Returned it. .and its still worth finding.

Easy to find, looks sorta like a large shotgun cartridge.
Take your kids there, a great one to start off with.
 
30-Aug-13
Nice little stash, took about 5 minutes for our first find. Great one for the kids.
 
11-Aug-13
Narrowed in very quickly on the likely spot but initially overlooked the cache completely and came away empty handed. All signs pointed to it being where we thought it was though and so we kept at it and eventually found the crafty little cache. Very nicely done and a fun hide. TFTC
 
11-Aug-13
Very cool camo, took us a while but... Really like this type of cache so it was worth the hunt. That's it for today! Tftc
 
26-May-13
4.00pm. Got the idea of where it would likely be almost as soon as we arrived at this little pocket park. Talked ourselves into believing we understood the hint, got down on hands and knees and with cache successfully in hand convinced ourselves further that we understood the hint!!

Amazing the number of these tiny parks there are in Auckland. Managed to lower myself behind the shrubs for a quick find. Love these cammos, thanks for setting this up!!
 
03-Feb-13
Was in the area and so thought we'd stop and get this one. It was easier than it should have been as the cache was visible, seems like the camo had been put in first. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-13
In the area with Anastriel so stopped to get this cache as we passed by. A quick find. TFTC.

The hint didn't seem to make much sense, but followed the instructions and there it was. An easy find after all.
 
27-Oct-12

27-Oct-12
Nice one for a noob like me. Thanks!
 
07-Oct-12

Nice and quick drive by cache easy find while out in the sun on this beautiful winters day.

17-Jul-12
I finished uni early today, so went to collect some caches before the assignments start to pile up.
Sixth and last one of the day today!

So, I came to the park, and saw a likely spot, without even checking the GPS. And I ducked down in the bushes... I must have looked like I was trying to creepily stalk someone... but luckily there were not too many pedestrians, and the cars were probably going by too fast to care.

I then looked in where there was a wee space for a cache. And as soon as I saw it, I knew. Yay! Cache it was alright!! Smile

TFTC!! Smile

Awesome hide just a drive by but a good one

Very foggy day but still got out for some geocache action! Great hide.
TFTC!
 
25-May-12
I seem to remember a few DNF's on the earlier versions of this one. Decided to make a lunch-time dash to fill another day in the calendar. Was nearly going to give up again, when I moved a bit further around and discovered the reason for the placement. Always nice to have a plaque to read. Although in my work clothes, on my knees, must have been a comical sight for the few passing cars. Extremely clever hide and so glad to have a smiley face at last for this placement. SL. TFTC. Big Grin

Took a few mins to find the right spot an easy find after that. only the kneel bit of the hint made sense. TFTC
 
15-Apr-12
A nice easy find. Didn't really understand the hint, though. TFTC.
 
28-Mar-12
Lots of fumbling with the pushchair in an attempt to find this one without looking too out of place. Main difficulty came in trying to return cache to its location due to school traffic! TFTC

Nice Smile first recorded find, fourth actual.
