As this cache has been out of action for too long and the cache owner has not responded or performed any maintenance, 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 un-archive it.

This cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give you, the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#cachemaintenance

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Suspicious that this has been muggled!

Seen the logs but as we were walking by had a quick look anyway. Nothing found.

Nothing...

Admittedly I was only using my phone app, but I would agree that this one needs checking. ??

Can't find I think it has bening muggle

Couldn't find this one today

Nice park n find, full log TFTC

Cool cache but sooooooo many muggles!

Needs new log book

TFTC

TFTC Nice quick find first for the day

Tftc

Log is full!!!

Very busy at the time we were there, but everybody concentrating on getting home. The log is completely full now- we managed to squeeze our name in there, but out of order and in a wee gap.

Third time lucky. Most activities finished at Edgar. Log is now full!

Got this one after a practice, late at night is the best time for this one definitely not around 4 -5 o'clock

Very busy do to school event, so easy to find as everyone focused on the sporting event )))))

Tftc!

Nice spot. Logbook is very full. Might fit one or two more on. TFTC.

Tftc!

Yay night time caching makes for a muggle-less cache

It might be a high muggle zone during the daylight but at 10pm she's dead. Managed a nice easy find in the drizzle. Great view across the harbour at all the flashy lights from here. Cheers

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

Found in the rain. At a church regional church service and youth programme with SNZ Conference Basket Ball Tournament in evening... so it was a must to get this one. TFTC

No sports today and the wind was whistling down the harbour so there was no interruptions.
Thanks

quick find with not many about TFTC

Have been meaning to stop for this one for while. Quickly found right where expected. TFTC

After looking under the wrong bushes for ages we finally found it. TFTC.

Always a treat to visit the MoreFM Arena. This one found by Iamtimware on behalf of the Cache-Browns on a lunch outing.

Found right where it should be. Nice work cache-browns!

Safety in numbers equals a quick find - found by the cachebrowns

Found during our team outing by iamtimware

sorry took so long to log in found before my game of roller derby.

Miss 12 found this one after playin a blinder of a game of footie!!

Found it nice and easy just had to be careful of the people in the car parks

Found by T.

A well-hidden little number...easily found nonetheless. TFTC.

Yay our first find my little pirates had fun

Tricky hide tftc

It was pretty deserted here today so easy to poke around.

Found it quickly, had to pretend to do my laces to grab this without drawing attention

Found at last with the lovely jrb5050 and Basil the dog. Celebrations all round because we had been unsuccessful on previous occasions. I think the difference this time was getting jrb5050 to leave her smartphone at home. Instead of searching on the wrong side of the footpath my gps led me straight to the correct tree and it was the first place I looked. Thank goodness because jrb5050 had an elaborate plan involving Basil, a plastic bag and organic material which she was keen for me to enact in case of muggle interest.Luckily it wasn,t required. TFTC PS......was forced to write first sentence.

Took the wondrous Basil the dog and PC Sniff out for a walk, but PC Sniff brought along his GPS and just had to have another go at this one. I tried to convince him there would be too many people about, told him what would have to happen if there were muggles watching and generally tried to dissuade him from another attempt. However, much to my chagrin, he didn't need any help from me at all. A lovely day to be out taking a bit of exercise. Kia ora and thanks for the cache.

Thanks

3rd of 3 at lunch time today. TFTC

On our way home at 12.30am PC Sniff and I went to look for this one. No stealth required at this time of night, but maybe a GPS would have helped. I had my smart phone, but there was only flax in the area indicated, which didn't quite match the hint. PC Sniff was suitably scathing about the accuracy of my device and we spread out to search a wide area, which included both trees and bushes, but all to no avail.
The garden part looks like it has been newly barked and we wondered if the cache might have been muggled. We'll try again another dark night with the aid of PC Sniff's GPS in the hope that better accuracy will solve the problem.

Took photos of mushrooms growing nearby to look less conspicuous. Thanks for the cache. Cheers, LostHobbit.

we looked dodgy but found it nice and snug TNLNSL

tftc

Easy find, Thanks for the cache.

Back at Futsal now and managed to have a quick look. All still in place and good to go. As the "Found it" logs clearly shows. Well done road crew for again leaving the cache as is.

Mint find in the dark lol

Easier than first thought

Quick find this afternoon, on a walk as part of Ramblers Reward

Went to stop off to do this one and found there was major work being done on the gardens, plants and trees! May be worth having a check to see that all is okay.
Sorry wrong date, it was the 16th and getting on for 3.30pm.

Great quick and easy cache thanks heaps

Thanks - had noticed the road works, but where they are hopefully in the long term will not affect the cache. Will check as soon as possible after the road works are finished though.

good spot.. look out for road works tho

Quick find. The cache was a bit exposed so I tucked it out of sight from the muggles. Tftc. Tslo

tftc nice spot

Quick easy find with no-one around, TFTC

Quick find no one around tftc

Relogging this under individual account, previously a member of Gaz'n'Kab account.

Previously logged under a team account. Re-logging with my individual account.

This was our last one for the day, and after a quick search, the cache was quickly in hand. We waited for a break in the traffic, and replaced the cache

4th find of the day at 9.50am on the way into town having dropped the car at the mechanics in Highcliff and wandering back into town with T.E.F Jnr in the buggy . Was an easy find with no muggles around (other than passing cars!). TFTC!

Another quick find, lots of people about. Grabbed it while they were looking the other way, all to busy to worry about me. #53

Quite a few muggles but managed to sneak it out

A quick find on my last afternoon in town before heading home after attending the Mega Event. TFTC

Was in Dunedin to attended the first ever Mega in New Zealand. Managed to work it out so that I was able to team up with -gonefishing-, fozzmiester and agcnz on an 8 day caching trip around the South Island, this was day 5 of the road trip. This was our last day of caching in Dunedin region and we wanted to go back out to the Peninsula and pick up a few more caches.

After finding GC189E6 - Give Me a Sign (Otago), this was the next cache that we had on our list to find today. Was glad that we were attempting to find this cache on a long weekend as there wasnt too many muggles around, but as it was a Tuesday the area was starting to get a lot more busier.

We were lucky that we were able to park close to GZ and once there we were able to spot the hiding spot, managed to retrieve the cache without any issue, signed and replaced it back as found without anyone noticing what we were up too.

Thanks Castlewood_Crew for placing this cache here and for bringing us to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (5111), now it time to move on before it get too busy here.

We raced across the road between traffic for the quick find. TFTC

Found as part of an 8 day NZ Mega Event trip. Day 5 - Our last full day in Dunedin which was mainly filled in by another trip out on the peninsular and a stroll on Flagstaff hill. Thanks to the owners of the 500 + caches which I had the pleasure to find along the way and which contributed to a very fun trip.

Found on the great post-Mega roadtrip with agcnz, fozzmiester and yeetrees. A great trip from Otago to Wellington, taking in many backroades and some fantastic scenery along to way to over 400 caches. Thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches we found on the way.

Thanks for the cache, Castlewood_Crew.

Fourth find on my wee afternoon bike ride. I am so glad my mum doesn't live in Mornington or something! Imagine biking around there!!

I spent soo much of my high school life here though, everything was here! (Or at the pool... or at the ice skating rink... or at the hockey turf... or the soccer field! Hahaha... ) I remember my mum used to do a seperate load of washing JUST for my school sports uniforms every week. I had that many...
But so many days I spent here, it was like at least 3+ times a week I would be here in the summer season! A bit less in winter (Ironic, isn't it, that they make you play winter sports outside in the Dunedin hail in the mornings, but they let you play your summer sports indoors... )

I also remember coming here for the school's careers fairs every year. Those are also held here. So many free pens...

So, naturally I had to find this cache. As this place has been such a part of my growing up...

It was an easy as find once I got to where the coords were pointing. There was one logical-ish spot, and it looked like it had a wee bit of cacher cover on it... so I took a wee bit of a better look, and out there fell a cache too!!

TFTC!!

Day 5 on our 6 day caching trip to Dunedin for the NZ MEGA 2012 event with Gunnie69, Kaisho53, Ozibags, ghostgums and MrMeccano. Once again we hit the road reasonably early with a plan. The day started off spent around Saint Clair, St Kilda, South Dunedin, Kensington, Mosgiel, and Caversham.

Sorry about the bulk log but I am never going to catch up at this rate.

TFTC, Castlewood_Crew!

We sportingly let fourbees grab this one!

Last day for me of Cache Hunting at NZ Mega 21012 with Gunnie69, Ghostgums, Mr Meccano, Ozibags and TheFourBees

Having waited for Nanna to leave GZ we moved in

Ghostgums soon had cache to hand & log out

Formalities done we left


TNLNSL

Thanks castlewoodcrew

We love a cache with a very convenient car park and this one was just the trick... We managed to park right on GZ but had to wait for an old lady to pull away in her car before attempting the hunt... [^]

All clear, the mob moved in and the cache was located by Ghostgums and TheFourBees. A quick extraction, names in the log and swift replacement, our job here was done so we moved on...

Found in the company of fellow Queensland hunters Kaisho53, OziBags, TheFourBees, Ghostgums and Mr Meccano.

Cheers Castlewood Crew.

Nabbed this one pretty swiftly in the company of Mrs Winglen, SolDeLune, Fitzy_1965 and RexTrex, exploring the South Island and of course the Mega event.

Thanks Castlewood Crew for another, impressive sports centre.

Random spot for a hide, but enjoyed coming back here after the Have A Go Day many months ago. Cheers Gav
