Reserve Bank of New Zealand Museum (Wellington) Wellington Central, North Island, New Zealand

Very disappointed to have to archive this cache - had hoped to keep it alive in waiiti20's name and also it was a great place to visit, however it now seems that the museum will not be opening to public in near future.

The website reports that this museum is no longer open.

Really want to keep this cache alive so will disable and hope museum is re-open to the public soon.

I am very pleased that after a long day at work I could manage to come out at grab another multi tonight. After this mornings 'really early' event (hey, I arrived from Oz at midnight the day before) I was pleased that tonight I could keep my multi streak going. I am trying to hit a full month (March) though I have kept it going since the 22nd Feb.

Finally managed to find all the required answers for this multi and am able to clear this one. Final GZ is right behind my apartment! Thanks CO for keeping this cache going.

The good news is that the museum is open. We had old coins to exchange and knew there was a geocache here. We got all the information required thanks to the helpful person who had no classes to take today. we had quite a chat to him about the areas that student groups come from then sat to put in the final coordinates.
The bad news was that we didn't find the cache. Like others we see from reading the logs the GPS never had us at 0 and the phone was also unhelpful. We found a good spot in a likely area to check but the obvious (to us) spot was empty and we didn't want to search further without gloves. We will check GE and may be back next trip.

Museum is now open, will check on cache when in the area next (maybe a couple of weeks)
Final location requires no digging around of getting dirty at all.

Visited Reserve Bank again today in hopes of completing this cache. Unfortunately the Museum is still closed.

Was informed that the museum had reopened - obviously not correct.
Sorry for inconvenience, will disable for now.

Have been told the museum is open.

Unfortunately the museum is closed until at least the end of the year due to earthquake strengthening work on the building.

Disabled until museum open again.

Visited it!
Wrangled questions...
Solved it!
Grabbed it!
Logged it and replaced it!

Gathered answers on the 3rd, the day the lights went out... but Reserve Bank have a flash generator!
Thanks to the Curator for a nudge, typical twist...
Thanks to the new Co for keeping this gem alive.
Tally ho watchers! Gz is live and the log book is virtually empty.
TFTC SLTNLN +FP

Woops thought I already enabled this cache when I replaced the container.

Cache replaced and good to go!
Final location is quite public at times please try to be stealthy.

Got the puzzle but didnt find it

Better check this one out.

Yet another nemesis cache (its in good company and a growing list). The family visited this museum some time ago to work out the final coordinates. I must have walked past the GZ over a dozen times and only twice has it been free of muggles. Each time I have come away with filthy hands and nothing else to show for it. Searched everywhere I am willing to risk putting my hands now. Probably time to give it away. Certainly not encouraging me to do other ex-waiiti20 museum caches in central Wellington.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand Museum (Wellington) was transferred from waiiti20 to user tmann421

Really enjoyed visiting the numerous Museums in Wellington - turns out I was staying almost on top of the cache too!

This was a long overdue visit to this location. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the interesting information; I had to occasionally remind myself that I had specific information to look for. I came up with 5 of 8 answers on the first pass. I wasn't too concerned as I was reasonably confident the friendly staff member would have helped me if I had asked (I wasn't provided with a magnifying glass so maybe she isn't aware of the geocache or I managed to make it not obvious what my reason for visiting was). However, on the second pass, it was suddenly boom! boom! boom! and in less than a minute I had the remaining answers.

I completely failed to notice there was a checksum but I made my way to my calculated final to make a quick find. The cache and contents are in very good order.

Now here's the best bit! When I had left the museum there was an electronic questionnaire to enable visitors to record details about them and their visit. When I reached a page that asked for "Reason for visit", I was all set to select "Other" but I then spotted the "Doing the geocache quiz" option. Very impressive!

This is a very classy cache. I plan to return next Wednesday to see MONIAC in action.

Pleased to say found FW on the 2nd visit! Good clear multi, thanks waiiti20. Chose weekend to collect but still had to wait for smuggle moker.

TFTH!

As I mentioned in a previous log on a multi I am very wary of doing mysteries and multis in foreign countries due to the localisation of topics. However, seeing as I am here on business at the customer site which is the subject of this multi, I just could not not do it! So today we had a lengthy break and I took my opportunity to attempt the collection of the required information.

There seemed to be some guided tour on the go and I could not get to the one corner. However, lile with a previous cacher, the curator came to the rescue, not only with the one inaccessible fact(currently due to the tour) but also the magnifying glass, a definite perquisite for old fogies like me!

So, armed with the data, I returned to the office to make the calculations.

After work a quick change and off I went to find this little one. This too was a bit of a challenge as the coords first took me into the parking garage... Anyway, I eventually got my GPS to settle and the cache was in hand soon after.

FP for the topical cache, thank you!

I spent an interesting hour seeking out the various answers for this multi. I loved the MONIAC - it has to be worth a return visit just to see that operating. I resorted to asking the curator for his help for one specific question. He was very helpful, whisked out his magnifying glass and led me across to the exhibit with the required information. A big thank you to him for his help. Retrieving the cache proved more problematic. I went to GZ three time during the day between caches and each time couldn't get near the place I wanted to look. I resorted to a quick after-hours visit to finish things off. Thanks for a very enjoyable cache - FP awarded

enjoyed doing the multi looking at all those money & notes etc.
great hide
thank you waiiti20 for the cache and the multi

Didn't take too long to find the answers. Initially thought one was missing, belonging to a removed exhibit, but then I noticed a panel I had missed, and there it was. GZ was deserted, and I was having a hunt around when a smoker turned up. I decided to wait, but then another turned up. She finished her cigarette but wouldn't leave. It past the time I should have given up, but I decided to wait just a bit longer, and while I was waiting I thought about likely hiding places and the hint. I realised the most likely hiding place was within reach of where I was waiting - and sure enough, I found it, extracted, signed and returned it without moving from my spot, and without being noticed. Sigh of relief. Thanks for yet another museum multi waiiti20.

Visited the RB museum the other day and found it interesting. Got all the pieces of information and quickly got new coords. Decided to wait until this evening to retrieve in order to avoid muggles. Due to high buildings the GPS was a bit scratchy but container was quickly found. TFTC

At a meeting on the Terrace yesterday so popped down to the bank and got the required information. Had been here once before but it was nearly 20 years ago (even before GPS made public). Today back for ongoing meeting and a quick afternoon tea cross the road to grab the cache. All good with nobody else about and just replaced when a bunch of ghouls and witches wondered past. Happy Halloween!!

I solved this at the reserve bank open day months ago and decided it needed to be collected. Thanks for placing the cache.

Usually I have dogs in tow, so caches with an indoor aspect are mostly out of bounds but on Friday I found myself in the city with an hour to spare so I went for a walk and ended up near the Reserve Bank. On remembering there was a multi nearby, I whipped out my phone ... 30 minutes later I had most of the answers, but it was now after 4pm and the museum had officially closed. A bit of guesswork, however, enabled me to fill in the blanks, so tonight, after work, I dragged Yosser 9 off to GZ for a spot of caching in the dark. I was glad I had company ... two youngsters looked as if they were up to no good! The GPS was erratic - not unexpected, given the tallish buildings nearby - so I relied on the hint and a bit of geocaching instinct. It wasn't long before the safe was cracked and the log was minted. I really liked the museum and plan to return as there's a very interesting machine, The Moniac, that is put through its paces on the first Wenedsay of the month. I would have gone today, but I wasn't sure if the school holidays would have increased visitor numbers. Anyway, The Moniac, if I have understood correctly, provides a visual demonstration of the flow of money through the economy. It's quite a steam-punkish contraption - should be fascinating to see it in action. Thanks for the cache!

Collected the information some time ago, and attempted to complete this many months later. It needed two visits to find the container. Had a think overnight after the first failure, and read all the logs carefully. Fortunately (and surprisingly) all was clear at our visit at 1 pm today and the the log book was signed. Thanks waititi20 for this well designed multi, good to tick it off.

We needed help from the curator for one answer, but found the rest OK. Interesting museum. Well worth a visit. Thanks for bringing us here and tftc. Done with team geocacher Mr.T

This one has been a couple of years in the making. I never got the chance to get to the museum before it went premium, and it wasn't until this week that I had some free time to pop in and collect the clues.

Like others, I couldn't find the FW clue and had to rely on the checksum and geocacher nous to come up with a solution.

Popped out for a wander at lunchtime, heading towards the final. A gaggle of smokers were hanging around so I carried on for a bit before heading back, where the way was clear. A quick find and I've finally got one of the multis from this end of town knocked off! TFTC

I too came up short on answers a was saved by the checksum. Thanks for a very interesting cache

Wow this took me a while to complete. Gathered the answers this morning, and spent quite a bit of time, wandering around the museum. Asked the friendly worker there if they knew any of the answers but she was only a fill in so no help there today. Eventually stumbled on all but one question, and used the check sum and a bit of caching nouse to work out a likely spot.

Headed to the GZ this evening and had just arrived and was looking up the hint when a homeless muggle turned up. Luck was on my side thou as where I stopped was less than a metre from the cache. Had to time my grab but managed to find sign and re-locate the cache without being noticed. Thanks for a fun multi.

Solved some time ago but have not been in the area of the cache until today. Enjoyed the challenge. Tftc

Had solved this one earlier in the week with TregearP but it seems the spot is a favourite location for smokers and we were unable to log the find without attracting attention.

Much easier on a Public Holiday.

Tftc.

Found it, good excuse to visit museum again and attendees were very happy with the number of visitors they get because of the cache. Gave the odd hint as well for one of the trickier questions.

Had assistance from tmann421 on this one. Quick find and nice location to visit that I would not have otherwise were it not for geocaching.

TFTC

Usually work in the 'burbs so cannot get here during the weekdays. Took advantage of day off while my sisters were visiting to tour the Museum with extra pairs of eyes, although we didnt find one of the anwers. Two days later and was able visit where the final was and located easily at weekend. TFTC

Find #2058. Today was a day of museum multis and although I hopefully solved 5 I only had time to find 3, such were the distances and time involved. But a very enjoyable day! Arriving here off the train, I had to wait till 10 o'clock for the Reserve Bank governor to tell the world that the cash rate was going to remain the same. But on getting in, I was welcomed by the curator and I told him what I was doing. It is a very interesting display and looking carefully it wasn't too hard to find the answers. He did help me locate one of the answers - it is almost too small to decipher with my eyesight! Got the sum check then headed in the general direction of the compass to the final. The buildings didn't help but it was pretty obvious where the cache should be. Had to wait for some office smokers (ugh! ) to move on before swooping in for the find. Thanks waiiti20 for an interesting way to improve my knowledge and explore Welington. SL TFTC

After looking around the museum (one that I haven't been to), got coordinates and headed off to GZ, GPS was jumping around a bit, probably because of all of the buildings. There was a muggle at GZ so had to wait until he went. But then found the cache quite quickly after that. TFTC

Found it, albeit with some help - thanks. All good. Museum of special interest. Great computer. Tftc.

Excellent. I've looked for this cache a few times now, but no joy each time. Finally found it on my 4th or maybe 5th visit. TFTC!

Solved this a couple of weeks ago, but haven't been able to get to GZ. Got to the GZ today, but could not find this anywhere. Lots of corners.

I'll be back, but in the meantime any hints would be appreciated.

Our first successful multi cache! Took us an hour or so in the museum but we found all the clues stealthily without any help

Cache # 1,405 - Finally! After multiple business meetings in the building, and at least 3 trips through the museum over 15 months, I have had all the clues needed for a long time. Today saw me with some meetings near the GZ, so took a little time between them to go and grab the cache. Still took a bit of time to find, and very relieved when I did. Thanks for a well constructed multi!

Can not believe i found this one. Took my class to the museum today. Not enough time to solve multi. So while the kids were out shopping I snuck back to the museum. Unfortunately it was closed but fortunately the educatiom officer spotted me. After explaining I wanted to solve the cache we cheated. He told me location of final....not coords.....so I took an educated guess. YES I FOUND IT!!!!!

got the clues, small help from the concierge, he said not many people had been through recently. But only time for a vague search. Try again another day.

Popped in for a look around during a lunch break last week. Managed to get all 8 clues plus have a bit of a look around all within 20 minutes, which is certainly a personal best on a waiiti20 Museum Cache, but I have started to notice a pattern in the series and know what to look out for And what a most fascinating place to visit, I was most surprised at how interesting it is, who would of guessed? Thoroughly enjoyed the visit thank you.

GZ worked out to be pretty handy so I decided to keep the find for a rainy day, and today was such a day, so another wee lunchtime walk and a quick find thanks to the added bonus that the rainy day kept the muggles away.

Many thanks for another interesting museum tour.

Arrived after Redants had started searching for the answers, helped find the rest of them and then it was off to GZ. Quick find after some muggles had left. TFTC.

Spent a while cruising through the museum, looking at the interesting displays. took a while to get a couple of the answers as they were well hidden. A few school groups came through as I was wandering through, they didn't become a problem. Interesting museum, TFTC

The attendant at the museum had me spotted as a geocacher right from the out set. He then provided his rather delightful perception of geocaching, those who pursue it and the popularity of this particular geocaching pursuit. After which he turned his attention to assisting me with the collection of needed facts.
Then things got even curiouser. We had always wondered why, at the final location, there was no published cache. We used to live within measurable metres of this site, and indeed, park the cachemobile within a metre or two. How about that!
TFTC for an intriguing and enjoyable cache experience.
The Turtle strikes again!

#118. Went in a lunch break, found five of the eight clues, but then ran out of time.
So, armed with what I had, I tried to find GZ based on the checksum and a bit of guesswork. I found two likely GZs, but neither turned out to be the one.
So eventually managed to get a second visit to the museum, and found one more clue... that turned out to be enough to find a likely GZ given that it "wasn't too far" from the museum. Went there and got it tonight no problem.
But I'm really going to go back and get the other two clues... they are bothering me! People have mentioned looking in drawers. I didn't find any of the clues in the drawers. Maybe that's where I need to focus my next search. TFTC.

2808
I was up in Wellington for work for the day, (and had said I didn't mind catching a late flight home ... for reasons which are obvious to other geocachers... ), and well, we actually finished for the day at 1pm, so after doing a bit more work, left for some caching in and around town.

This one I couldn't get last time as I was working every day till at least 4.30, so figured that since I had finished early I may as well go to one of the museum caches! And reserve bank sounded good

Went and collected all the clues, but couldn't find one of them. They are currently doing some renovations though, and some of the exhibits were missing... or maybe I was blind? But either way, with the check sum I came up with a location.
I had been considering asking the curator some of the questions, but I ended up asking him so many other unrelated questions instead! Haha. It was such an interesting place!! And I realised that I have something awesome at home! When I was busking once as a kid, I got a super old shilling coin... and it's dated 1933... that was the yer NZ first got its own currency! How epic is that?!

Anyways, headed out to find the cache, and arrived to a luckily empty and secluded spot! But it still took me ages to spot!! But was very releaved when I got it! Yaaay!!

I'm logging this cache towards the Ramblers Reward Challenge.

TFTC!!

Must confess I got some help from the friendly curator and his magnifying glass when I solved this puzzle a couple of weeks ago. Collected this morning after waiting for 10 minutes for a muggle who was exactly at GZ to leave. Another cache to continue my streak on the 100 day challenge. TFTC !

Friendly curator was on hand to help with the tricky bits. Took solution back to work, and dragged Team Leader along to GZ. After a lengthy search, requiring us to disrupt the peaceful lunchtime rest of several muggles (including another colleague), we found it! However, pencil lost during search, so another visit required to sign the log.

the curse of the smoking muggle appeared to strike again, but once he departed I had another search today, and it was in a place I'm certain I searched weeks ago! TFTC

Got all info last week (even found FW****) - and GZ calc added up as expected. But unable to complete the mission today - it's either been muggled, or (probably more likely) it's hidden better than my eyes and brain could detect. Will reponder and have another go in a few weeks when hopefully a couple of others have cached more effectively than I could.

Like others, I could not find FW DEFG and there was no friendly custodian to give a hint. But I managed to get by with out it. Made a stupid mistake in my first attempt at working out the final location, which led me to a place that actually matched the hint surprisingly well. Of course, not amount of searching revealed the cache. Once I worked out the final location correctly and looked in the right place, the find was straight forward.

Thanks for the trip around the museum - it was very interesting. I think I might come back to see a demo of the Moniac.

Found the answers to the clues a while ago, went to get cache but the scaffolding on the nearby building meant we couldnt get close enough. Found it today though! TFTC

Our daughter works here. As proud parents we think she runs the Bank single handedly. Have been meaning to do this cache for quite a while and finally found the time after dropping her off at work. The curator kind of knew what we were up to and immediately dived into his drawer and produced a magnifying glass. "You'll need this", he says. Really interesting museum. Loved delving into the drawers. Headed of to the final where the GPS was all over the place. Luckily a previous log gave me the hint I needed.
TFTC Worth a favourite.

TFTC- what a fascinating museum.

Went with Mum to solve the puzzle a while ago.
Found with the rest of the family

Buzzing from cache to cache

Mrs 1Grunta & Kids did all the hard work on this one a couple of holidays ago.
I just sat down and found the cache.
TFTC

We visited the museum on Friday and like others, we had difficulty with finding the answer to one question but with the checksum, we were able to work out the likely location for GZ. Back we came today which was a wise move in reducing the muggle factor. Our calculations proved correct as the cache was soon located. Thanks for another fun cache.

Show us the cash! A number of the EU crew, and one of the Waiiti20 team managed to sneak out the door with $1,000 in notes each after having an enjoyable time wandering around the museum. Only one hitch - it could take about 6 months to stick all the shredded notes back together again! TFTC

Found this cache with skkiwigirl. It was a tough go finding all of the information but, with a little help with the curator for one particular bit of information, we found what we needed. When we got to GZ, our GPS's had a hard time getting any satellites so we based our search around Google Maps and some caching instinct. Thankfully, both were dead on. TFTC and the walk around the museum!

Another day of tiki-touring around Wellington by caches. Had fun doing this one and enjoyed our museum visit. Found this cache with EightZero. TFTC!

I enjoyed my museum visit, especially as my grandfather worked at the Bank. This was my second attempt at the final, still a lot of muggles around today. TFTC waiiti20

Jan is out today without "The Man" (who is teaching a SAS course near by). This cache was really fun to do. As I started collecting the data needed, there was a class of school children in the room next to the display area. They were receiving information from the curator. When the lesson was done, the kids came into the display area also and we all started checking out the displays. Soon the curator came over and asked if I was looking for the geocache -- he was very nice and headed me to one of the clues that would have been very difficult to see. It was a really nice experience. And I learned a lot too. Thanks

Solved puzzle at weekend when had overseas visitors. Collected final after dropping them at hotel. Museum curator very helpful and great with kids. You need good eyesight for one clue! Great fun. TFTC

Returned to complete this one and find the answer for FW DEFG which totally stumped me before. Still took a while and got a hint from the custodian. Certainly very tricky! Nice quick cache find at a good site. SL TFTC

Dropped Bkj97 to let him gather the info while I went for petrol and to find a park. He had the whole thing worked out by the time I got back ! We walked past GZ recently and had remarked that it would be a good place for a cache. And so it was.Wet weather meant area was muggle free! T4TCSL

If only waiiti20's multis were all as quick to complete as this ! Custodian was busy chatting to a very bored looking tourist and a quick circuit and a bit of speed reading and rummaging in a drawer or two had it under control in record time. Thanked the custodian and he recognised me from years back when he was a Board of Trustee at my place of work. GPS struggled to settle at first but after the customary soaking from mother nature the cache was soon located almost exactly where Little Blue Hen had decided would be a good spot recently. TFTCSL

No luck today and no muggles around. Will try GPS coordinates from google maps.

Visited the museum to collect the data two weeks ago but couldn't find the cache where the GPS suggested. Last week had another go and the GPS suggested another likely place a further 50m away. So I then had a look on Google maps which gave another suggestion and there it was. A good multi thanks. TFTC #2825

Back today. Can't work out FW DEFG

Visited today at lunch time and solved most of the puzzles - still got 3 to go. Will need to go back. I resorted to putting the security guard in a headlock begging for the answer, but he wouldn't give!! Tomorrow's another day!

Having a pretty rough day - you know when you just wonder why you went out geocaching. This was one of 6 DNF's for the day with only 8 finds. Couldn't locate an answer for the FW DEFG question despite a 45 minute search. Got a parking ticket. Man at reserve bank had never heard of geocaching and didn't know where things were although he looked around with me for about 10 minutes.

Found during a late afternoon break. Thanks for the cache..

Got it on the second visit to the GZ, too many muggles about the first time. The curator at the museum was very helpful for that really difficult clue. TFTC and an interesting location.

You can bank on this being a great Wellington multi ...
Personally, I loved the museum's curator - he's worth every cent they pay him. Once he discovered why I was there, he kept checking back in to ease my search and was careful to help but not over-ride the discovery process.
Having taken heed of previous logs about muggles, I delayed my visit to GZ till midnight once I'd finished work. Certainly wouldn't have imagined that smokers would still have the area cornered. Thankfully this group quickly departed so I could find my prize.
Thanks a lot, Waiiti20. Despite 15+ years living in the capital and working in neighbouring Boulcott st, I'd yet to visit this financial gem till today. This is what geocaching should be all about.

I am going to sound like an echo- FINALLY! I have lost count of the number of attempts, foiled by muggles of various descriptions ranging from vagrants to businessmen to construction workers. Happened to have some time to fill in between some bus journeys first thing this morning so was an ideal time for another attempt and all was quiet and peaceful.
I would be hesitant about someone's advice to do this at night, if you do I suggest taking care because one of the vagrant muggles seems to make this his home.
TFTC

A month after solving the puzzle managed to snaffle the cache today (Saturday arvo) on a return trip from the tip. No office workers; no construction workers; no street people. TFTC.

A most enjoyable Multi. Found all the required information at the museum without too much difficulty, and had a really good chat with the museum curator. Headed off to GZ but I was unable to get my hands on the cache due to muggles lurking in the area. Returned early today and completed procedures. SL TFTC

FINALLY! On my 4th visit to the final coordinates. Visited the museum within a few days of the cache being published, and surreptitiously gathered the required info while the nice curator was giving a tour. Went straight to the right spot only to be foiled by some smokers. I've been back twice since and had no joy due to more smokers. Definitely one to grab at night. Found quickly once the place was deserted. Thanks for bringing me to the museum - I'd never been before, which is shameful since I've worked nearby for 10 years! TFTC

Another dot day, another cache to find. Easy for me as StreetWalker had aready gathered the info (when the cache was first published), and had the cache in hand by the time I arrived at GZ during lunch break.

Had visited the museum back in February with my son - initially we were the only people there and had a guided tour from the young woman on duty. Then some bigwigs from Rabobank, and entourage, arrived. We left soon after! Great idea to base a cache on this rather unique and interesting museum.
TFTC.

#2460. Needed a find on another dot day. I got the coords for this one on the day it was published. A great museum (well worth a visit; I was there again last night for a talk). I didn't find the cache the day it was published (working muggles at GZ made it hard; I'd missed the FTF in any case). Located the cache a few days later, and went back to do the paperwork today. TFTC.

Visited the little museum during the week to collect the info, but stopped by on a quiet Sunday to complete the find with magyverism. I didn't realise there was a museum here, so interesting to have a look at what interests the economist and banking types!

I think may have passed Huntleigh on the street on one of his earlier visits, just as I was about to head into a meeting on The Terrace with a muggle colleague.
TFTC.

Yet another unsuccessful visit to GZ area owing to muggles, not to mention that my GPS still doesn't want to be helpful here.
These muggles seemed to be up to something suspicious so be very careful in the area!

I was here at opening time on the 25th (to be joined soon after by Mrs Huhugrub) and quickly retrieved all of the answers but one and was then called back to work before I could complete the hunt. While there we explained to the curator about geocaching and that he could expect to see a number of people through the door. This morning before work I finally got to th gz and was able to complete the paperwork as the area was devoid of muggles. Thanks for the fun puzzle and for bringing me to this great little museum. TFTC

Not having a lot of luck with this one. I couldn't approach GZ on two days during the week as too muggly. I was in at work on Sunday catching up on paper work and decided to give it another go as the area is usually deserted during the weekend. But no, two homeless chaps were basking in the weak winter sun on the nearby park benches.

Wanders off back to work humming Jethro Tull's "Aqualung".

Headed into the museum yesterday after lunch, it was pretty quiet despite the school holidays. First question the friendly man at the counter asked as we walked in was how we found out about the place, then if we were trying to answer 8 questions.

I didn't even know this was here but enjoyed having a look around. I'll be back another day to look around properly.

He was really helpful, after a little bit of searching he provided some general guidance like 'try that wall' then once I'd come up with the goods on all but the hardest of the questions he gave a more explicit hint (which saved me ages of looking).

After I had all the numbers we stopped for a while to chat about the museum and caching. He asked me to tell him about the final so I popped back today to give him a run down on where and what it was. Pleased he's pro-caching rather than being annoyed by us.

Yesterday GZ was covered with muggles so no chance of collecting the cache (and my lunch had blown out to 1.5+ hours), headed back today and collected the cache without issue.

Pleased that simpsonsgr8 had a chat with him, I had a similar conversation yesterday but was unable to find the cache as I had some GPS issues, I have a pretty good idea where it might be but had muggle problems. We will get him into caching yet: maybe we can lend him a GPS and/or take him with us and persuade him to do Sweet Lunch Spot in his lunch hour
The Moniac is "fired up" on the first Wednesday of the month from 12:15 to 12:45 so that will be next week (I guess they must have had it running specially for a group and/or because of school holidays when huhugrub saw it in action.)

Was in the area today and thought that I had better do this one while I had a chance as I knew that this one was going to be a mission and a half, especially knowing how tricky waiiti20 multi's are. Was a bit wrapped that a previous finder had advised the staff about this little game that we are playing as it makes it a lot easier to find the information especially when the staff know what you are looking for. Really great to learn more about our monetary pass and the history that was in the are, will be back here to have a closer look and if possible will bring Mrs Yeetrees into here as well. Found the final GZ without any issues and was able to grab the cache without any nearby muggles realising what I was up to, another great and educational multi, thanks for bringing me to both spots, TFTC TNLNSL (3340)

Popped into the Museum at lunch today to have a wander round - some interesting stuff. The MONIAC certainly looks impressive - would be cool to see it in action! Managed to track down most of the information without too much trouble and got a point in the right direction for the tricky one from a helpful staff member who knew exactly what I was after .

Went and grabbed the final after work tonight - GPSr was all over the place so took a few minutes to track down. Thanks for the interesting multi!

#2269. FTF @ 11:30. Being school holidays, there were plenty of children in the museum. Enjoyed seeing the MONIAC (Monetary National Income Analogue Computer) in action - a truly pioneering econometric computer. TNLNSL. TFTC.
