At last, third time lucky. Talla64 and I are here for a few days enjoying the Whanganui Vintage weekend. Great fun - we're already planning to come back for next year's Vintage weekend. After tonight's revelry had ended, we sneaked here, no-one around - got the little blighter! Thanks for the cache firewoof.
 
Found on an Ad Lab, tea, toilets and Mc Ds road trip with Nutty Nora. Pretty close with GOS then attracted to logical place. No muggles which was good as not wearing shoelaces.

Had a good hunt but no luck! Will have to get it next time Im in whanganui!Some people call myself and my partner crazy. I dont think so yesterday we drove from Auckland to over Cooney where we spent a night in our car, today we are heading to Palmerston North to pick up a TV that we bought for cheap off marketplace. We will drive back up to Auckland tonight . Yes, we are going out about the way to pick up the TV, no, we dont care.We make frequent stops because of the long drive and well my partner naps, I go Geocaching. Thank you to all COs for placing and maintaining.
 
12-Oct-23
This was my families first cache. So fun, thank you!
 
08-Oct-23

01-Oct-23
Heading to a CITO at Whangaehu Beach with Infoferret, GSEL, and Barefootguru. We had time on our hands before the event, so went into Wanganui to pick up some caches. This was one of them.BFG and IF had already found this cache, so it was just GSEL and myself that came searching. GSEL's GPS took him in one direction, while I thought another. As it turned out, I homed in on GZ the quicker, and he soon came to join me. At GZ, a fairly quick find. All good in the container, despite it missing a lid. Signed, and returned as found, upside down to keep the rain out. TFTC!

#13,582. Heading north today with Barefootguru, Infoferret and Matagouri to attend a CITO event. After a short lunch break, two of us went for a wander to find this cache. My GPS took me too far initially but after it settled the coordinates were very good. By that stage Matagouri was sure the cache was hidden there and after feeling around soon had the container in the hand. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found. Thanks Firewoof for hiding the cache here. There used to be a Majestic theatre in the city I grew up in as well - Rotorua. It also folded in the 1970s or 1980s.

15-Jul-23
Omg!I found it. Super easy people!it's awesome.
 
11-Jul-23
12YO chose this cache to attempt - she is familiar with Majestic Square and hoped on approach that no one was using the stage... fortunately it was empty.
After 12YO looked around for a bit, Mum had a go - and spotted it very quickly. 12YO grabbed it and replaced it before any muggles could spot them.

Not spent much time in whanganui before so I had lunch nearby and explored. Great square and it would really nice to chill in during summer instead chilling during winter. TFTC.

We are in NZ from Australia. This is our replacement holiday instead of Seattle 2020, not quite the same but that’s all AirNz can muster up for our credit. But we are happy it’s a holiday and we get to see all our NZ pals. As well as this there is geocaching to be done.
When planning this trip I asked my friend in Upper Hutt where we could stay on the way back to Auckland she suggested Whanganui which we thought sounded interesting as we haven’t been here before. Little could she have guessed that it was the home to many many wonderful caches. What a bonus for us.
I drew up a list of caches with lots of FP and it did not disappoint.
After a lovely brekkie at Mischief we headed for a stroll about the town. This cache was found in the first place I looked and then spent an inordinate amount of time trying to extract the log book. It was well jammed. Luckily I have my mini Swiss Army knife with me. TFTC

SA’s Leap Year Mega Event GCA1DNA - keep the date free - 29th February 2024 - Adelaide South Australia . Can’t wait!!

Was pleased it was a quiet Saturday afternoon with no Muggles around! A quick look around GZ soon had the cache in hand and was able to return it to it's hiding place without being spotted.

Day 3 of a short stay at Koitiata aka Turakina Beach with GB Leader. Cached in Whanganui yesterday and we returned today for more numbers for the Wheel of Challenges.

But not this one. The GPS was wandering all over the place & a couple of muggles were sitting where I think I needed to be. Another time.

I was in the are so I thought I'd have another look. I see what everyone means by the great camouflage, good job. Didn't have a pen so couldn't mark it or anything, but was still fun.

That took a while. And yes it does blend in well.

Staying a few nights in Whanganui. Had a great dinner at a Japanese restaurant just around the corner. Night time seemed a great time to search for this - not a soul to be seen. Surveyed the situation from afar to work out where we should go. Honed in on it pretty quickly after that.
Thanks!
 
16-Jan-23
Haha perfect spot. Blended in perfectly

Parked Zara up early at Moutoa Reserve and walked around central Wanganui for a few hours doing the LAB. GPS had me going further up the street before rereading and returning here. Finally tracked it down and left my calling card. Thankfully very few muggles about. CheersZara and I came north to catch up with family and friends for Xmas with Rattll,s BBQ also on the radar. A surprise visit to the Etherlord Clan Saturday night and then a couple of days in Wanganui picking up some LABs and Trads to get Signal through the Castle Labyrinth. Then back to Paly and Wellington. Then with my friend aboard Zara,we did a side trip to Tora, Paihatua, Palmy, Foxton and back to Wellington. And awesome week travelling and catching up with friends with a little caching on the side.
