As this cache has been out of action for too long, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Hi

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me within Three Weeks, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
TheCur8or

Come on!

Not there for sure

Possibly gone?

Hebben niets kunnen vinden,

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found only a pencil.

Crawled under, found pencil however certainly no cache.

Found a cache sized pencil with snail attached, however definitely no cache today

With such a good hint it should have been problem but i had to work out how to get the spot and until finally my brain ticked over and the entry was sort of straight forward albeit rather low! I was very glad there were no muggles around as i would have looked a jerk.. an older woman creeping there! So finally i retrieved it signed it and replaced and then backed out slowly!.. All was well with the cache although i thought i had read there was a Tb but there was none in it unfortunately. Are some of the old looking posts and up rights 125 years old i wondered?
Thank you for the cache and another smiley face.

Very awkward to retrieve tftc

Muggles to the left, muggles to the right, muggles high & low! Claimed on a roll, thanks jmnz

Nice hide but would not want to do this one during peak hours! TFTC

Definitely not for a tall guy, unless you have a long hand to grab the cache. Cache in a good condition and plenty of space on the log book. Greetings from Indonesian Geocacher fella. TFTC

Fortunately I was with someone more agile than myself, who helped me retrieve it! TFTC

Good to have a kid around for this one!

A nice easy find with Mrchunks, had to watch out for the muggles.

Down in Wellington for the weekend. Initially this was to be a pre-visit before a work conference this week but that's been cancelled due to head office being kicked out of their building as the building next door has been damaged in the recent earthquakes. Decided to come to Wellington for the weekend anyway.

After visiting the Gallipoli exhibition at Te Papa and caching in Island Bay, I decided to slowly make my way back to my accommodation for the night in plimmerton, caching on the way. Spotted the cache from the car. Had to get closer to the ground than I prefer, but the cache was quickly in hand. TFTC

Easy to find but sort of tricky to get. Wouldn't want to try that with muggles to dodge. TFTC.

Took awhile but eventually found it

Nice quick find. Doesn't pay to be tall. Thanks

Certainly a scramble to get this one. Our gps was spot on but once located I wasn't that excited about retrieval...however the smiley face beckoned....tftc

Easy find, even if GZ was awkward to get to. TFTC

Out with BigCheeseNZ. Glad we got this one - previous visit was not successful. Was quick to spot but harder to retrieve - thanks Paula I owe you one!!!! TFTC.

We came here a while ago but had no joy. No problems here today, a quick find but it took a fair bit longer to grab!

A quick find, but had to wait awhile - several groups of muggles coming down the ramp (all dawdling!). Patience paid off. Thanks for the cache.

A nice quick find, but wish I had brought Junior Spider-Bite along to retrieve it.
TFTC

Not good for tall people! Quickly spotted but a mission to get to. Tftc

TFTC. Sam the 6yr old geokid was very helpful in locating!!

Having a 6 year old son was very handy with this one!! TFTC

Nice hide. Worth the effort. Not a place for tall people.

Not a soul in sight on Xmas Day making it a very easy find. TFTC Jmarshall

Retrieved by Miss7. Fun for kids. Took trackable to take on xmas holiday adventures.

Nice. Thanks

Quick find ! Nice and quiet time too.

#191 good hide tftc

Found this one easy. All in good order. Tftc

Quick find with Mrs JY. Lucky I was there to help Mummy retrieve this one. TFTC

Not the easiest cache to access with a dodgy knee! Lucky I had Theosaurus to help. Dropped off a travel bug. TFTC

Totally agree with Hamnz's comment about access -fortunately the only muggle passed by as I was well out of sight. TFTC!

Nice hide. Would have been hard to access inconspicuously, but luckily the place was deserted.

A quick night time park-and-grab. TFTC!

Good one

I had a pretty good idea as to where this would be hiding and my assumptions were correct. Geogirl helped out with the retrieval and replacement. TFTC

Quick find after getting off the train. A bit of a squeeze!!
Find it found it

TFTC

A quick find with TregearP.

All in good order , TFTC.

Thanks. Fun spot for kids.

Think I know where it was, but couldn't quite get to it with so many muggles about today.

No luck today with this one - lots of muggles too - will be back

Quick find TFTC

#509. Arrived at dusk and almost no-one was around. Quickly spied where it might be but getting in there proved tricky with prickly guardians. Had just got hold of the cache when a train pulled up and suddenly there were people all over the bridge. I just hunkered down and hoped they didn't see me. Only later I thought they probably had and assumed it was homeless waif crawling in for a night of rough sleeping. TFTC

Nice quick find today while in the area. Great little snippet of local railway history on the cache page too. SLTFTC

Wow! That was a challenge!

gotta get down and dirty for this one.

gotta get down and dirty for this one

Went in the weekend so not many muffles around

Quickly found once I worked out where I needed to be. TFTC Cheers!

Haha! Felt a bit like a house in The Shire here - I came off better retrieving it than Pengus did returning it... Thanks

Quick find, cheers. TFTC

This one was a nice hide, took some of my scouts here tonight and they got muggled by a cacher being dropped off to the train. It's a difficult spot due to it's proximity to the corner of the footpath. TFTC

Good clue. Found it.

Nice find on my way back to work after my lunch time hunt

#559 quick find. Many thanks

Last morning in Wellington do a final chance to grab a few caches before heading to work and flying home. While grabbing the caches is great I can't say that I manage to get in much sightseeing in the dark.
Being so early in the morning the area was quiet so no issues with passing muggels

Thanks for the placement

awesome hide thanks for the cache!

#939 Spotted it from a distance then made the approach. Very nicely hidden and in good nick. TFTC!

A fairly quick find, although not the easiest for aging bones to retrieve. TFTC

Got the cache. Started logging when a whole lot of cars turned up to pick up train passengers. Waited for them to clear in order to get it back in place. TFTC

Was in the area today so I decided to re-visit some caches I logged last year

About to give up and widend my search area. Tftc

With rikjwells - It was his first. Good hide. Nice & easy

My first proper find

Thanks - a splendid introduction ...

Great hiding place, and an easy find - especially if you bring a small person to retrieve it! Swapped a daffodil for a teddybear.

Quick Find TFTC

Found it with paisynsmummy and matatuana.

Nice easy find with -tink- and PaisynsMummy TFTC

Found with -tink and matatuana

Good find. TFTC

Great find!

nice quick find this morning. nobody about. tftc

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Nice and easy on a Sunday afternoon. TFTC

Quick to spot, but tricky to reach! TFTC

Found with Sproggles. Not too many muggles about on a lazy Sunday morning. TNLNSL TFTC!

Quickly found at GZ. Nicely written cache description. Tan1aNZ has been here during the working week when the place is absolutely heaving with cars and muggles. No such problem late on a Saturday afternoon ... only one empty car in the carpark. Cool hide.

TFTC!
with Tan1aNZ

had tried this a couple of times before, but not ideal during the week - loitering around the parked cars is not a good look, and office clothes are not the best for small spaces much easier doing it in the weekend with caligula. TFTC

Got it. Baby's first geocache

I had to linger while muggles passed by, care is needed as there is broken glass in the crawl zone to this cache, but it was easily found. TFTC

I watched for muggles while Marton Meerkats retrieved the cache. Seeing one's mother crawling around in the dirt is quite an experience. TFTC!

Done with Paua rangers as lookout! Safely tucked away. TFTC

A little awkward to get to for us tall folk, but still a fairly straight forward find. Found on a lovely day while procrastinating study for an exam. TFTC.

Found it today, though I am a tall guy so it was a little hard to get at.

Yay found it this time.

Any easy find. TFTC.

Dusted the bikes off for a wee ride this afternoon, and as I explained to hubby "you can't do exercise without throwing some caching in". Did a bit of riding around the suburbs of Tawa. Nice easy find this time, had tried this one before but too muggley. SL TFTC -TB
