Have decided not to enable this one for now.

Didn't realise that this cache was out of use untill I arrived home and logged it.

There were muggles all over GZ so did not attempt to look for the cache. It is a holiday weekend so I suppose the number of muggles was to be expected.

disabled until we can check

Nice hidinf nest but empty.

Found the likely hiding place after step up but no geocache

Couldn't find it. Found the likely place but empty

We must have had the blinkers on today . After reading back on the logs we perhaps shouldn't have been so reliant on the co-ords. Lovely walk anyway.

Stayed The Night At Kaitokie For Christmas Day, Decided In The Morning I'd Find Some Geocaches And Found This One There Was No Camo Bag On This Cache That I Found Presuming Its This Cache...
Anyway TFTC!

Found with room 5 on eotc week

Out of the blue find

Easy!!! Nice one for geogirl. TFTC

Beaut of a day!

(90). Bit of a search but got there in the end.

Sunday caching. Beautiful spring day, no wind. Kaitoke - Pakuratahi. Hard to imagine it could get better than this.
Number 4 on our loop around the swing bridge track. The information board was very interesting and we took some time to check out the engineering. We were then at GZ in no time and made a straightforward, easy find. Cache in order, log signed; all then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Completed this circuit after attending a local geo-picnic with Princess-Emily and tmann421. These walks are my favourite. Cache located quickly. TFTC

TFTC Beautiful day for a walk through the park!

Teamed up with Just-Lookin and tmann421 for a fun day of caching with a picnic in the middle. TFTC

Nice day for a walk with Mum and Dad (wbond1116).

Thank you

Tftc

Enjoyed this one, clever clue, thanks

GPS led me on a bit of a detour, found it right where I first suspected.

Another quick find and the reason for visiting - this cache had a hide date I required for the 366 day challenge. TFTC !

Not where I had expected from cache name. Grand daughter found it.

this time we had a pencil! swapped some treasures

TFTC

Caching Kaitoke with CarolinaZoe plus the three littlejardisliketardises today. Decided to tackle the round trip clockwise, so this was the next cache after the Lost Treasure of Rivendell. Initially approached cache from the wrong side, but once we changed tack the clue made sense. We were muggled by four women out for a walk, one of whom was very excited when I explained what we were doing. She wanted to find the next cache, but her companions said no, as they were heading the opposite way. TFTC

On a hot day
Coords seem a bit out tftc

Not really near Coordinates.

Easy find. Last of the day. Great days finding in kaitoke!

Daughter had great fun look for this one, Clue was a bit cryptic.

Another good hide. Tftc

Quick find and replacement with muffled close by

NZlamb braved the dog poo on the step and retrieved the cache. Left a little froggie in the box.

Yay! 700th cache on my last day in New Zealand ... Flying out tonight. Lovely views all around ... Beautiful area to find a 700th . Tftc

Another nice little hide. A lovely walk in an interesting area. TFTC!

Had lunch near to this pöace on a bench
TFTC

Quick find on a sunny Sunday. Tftc

Bit tricky to find, hint, look around the dam not on the grass hill

Cool cache. Lovely area. TFTC

Found easily on the nice walk through the park. Great weather today. TFTC.

Quick find, the buttercups look awesome today! TFTC

A nice spot, Thanks!

Found on a wander around this lovely forest. Many thanks to the Wellington Regional Council for their custodionship and for the person who placed the cache.

and one more my daughter is now sold on this game yftc

Quick find on a peaceful morning stroll with no one else to be seen.

Wondered what a strainer house did, now I know. The Oregon was much more co-operative here and it didn't take long to track down the cache. Then took the access road back to the car to complete this very pleasant loop.
TFTC.

#6000! We'd had a productive (and sometimes challenging) few hours of caching in the Kaitoke Regional Park, and getting to cache 6000 was a bonus. First time we'd done this loop, which proved to be an enjoyable walk. TFTC.

A nice quick find, put my hand straight on the cache this time without any searching around first and GZ seemed pretty much spot on here. TFTC

Found in the dark while camping overnight with a school group TFTC J 'N' K

A quick find on a fine but chilly afternoon. Walked back along the road to the car park to complete a circuit of the swingbridge track. TNLN SL TFTC

Easy find, thanks.

Baby wouldn't sleep so we came out geocaching. Such a nice walk. TFTC.

We found this cache on our visit to Rivendell.
We extended the tour a bit by a hike on the swingbridge trail. Thanks for the hide!

Well, actually My Dad found it! (slowly getting him trained....) TFTC

Stunning day for the whole family

Took nothing, left bracelet. TFTC

Nice easy find on a visit to the park, and showing a visiter from Holland how geocaching works. TFTC

#3 on swingbridge track #238

TFTC

Nearly walked past this as we were distracted, having just been at the aqueduct. But no strain here tftc

Great spot.
TFTC.

Nicely hidden tftc. Dropped off tbtb

Easy find. Tftc.

My family had already found this so we went in for the search. Quick sign and return

Nice spot for caching, well done on the hide. Was out with patnz who found this one. TFTC

2nd find in this locality. Hordes of muggles doing the loop walk but thankfully these was sufficient lag for us to go and snaffle this cleverly constructed cache. The information board outside the house also contains a string of interesting information. Nice work J'N'K.

Easy find - thanks for the cache

A quick find and the cache description very interesting. Thanks also to whoever left the little doll in the cache. It was of great comfort to Miss Orsome4some who was bitten by some sort of insect moments before we made the find. TFTC

A great spot. Tftc

Swapped farmer toy

Good little hide. Nice find. TFTC

Quick find at GZ.
Drying out after the earlier rain & hail.

TFTC!

Beautiful quiet day for it. Took nothing but my 4yo left a button.

Took a while, gps all over the place today.

Locating elves and found this on the way

Found this Cache on our Trip to New Zealand.
Thank you for the cache.

Greetings from Austria / Germany

#3317. Nice day for a circuit walk. Interesting looking into the strainer house. Water was leaking from the nearby pipework though.

Loving these caches, loving the amount of information you've put them - history in a cache, yay.

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

Having completed the LOTR caches nearby we decided as we were already wet we would complete the Swingbridge loop.

Quick easy find, TFTC, found with 2kiwis.com

Phasevisitor came down to visit for a long weekend so we decided to do a LOTR themed caching tour around Wellington with them. We decided to walk the loop track in the pouring rain to get an atmospheric photo up the valley.

Nice walk. Forgot a pen. Tnln

Did the Loop track first then this one. Took the geomumbles (1 Lab and 1 Daschundt) along for this one.. Mycro Man walked some of the way, sat on the Crystals neck some of the way and in the backpack some of the way.. Showed Mycro Man inside the Strainer house. Still wonder why so much water leaks nearby. Cache was in good condition. TFTC

Did with CrystalFairy

Its always a bit of a worry to see that water spurting out of the cracks in the pipes! Obviously not a big worry or something would have been done about it. Nicely hidden and co-ords spot on. TFTC

Was looking at doing these caches when I was here doing the FTF on GC3PFKP but as it was so wet I decided that I would leave these caches until another time. Managed to drop by and grab these two caches today, actually I was quite surprise that these caches really didn't take me too long to walk to and back to the car. Arriving at the first cache within about 10 minutes walk from the carpark and looking at the hint and managed to find the cache in the first spot that I looked.

I think that I have being pass this spot before as I remembered that there use to be another cache that was nearby before, but as I see that cache seems to have being archived and two new caches have popped up to replace it so that is always a bonus.

Thanks for placing a cache here and for bringing me back to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (4478)

Out with the Wandering Dragons. Great spot.

Cache #598 - #4 on the day with Downunder Wanderer. An interesting place, and a great spot for a hide. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Find #1250. After a short walk up to Tussock Knob through some lovely forest - we still had time to do a few extraneous short walks within Kaitoke Regional Park so we chose to loop back to the car via the Swingbridge Track – an easy find (after we first sat down and let a group of walkers move past and out of visibility), and a well-placed cache. Good history here and more interesting information about Wellington’s water supply. SL TFTC.

See taybee log TFTC

last for the day was a easy find by jr taybee TFTC

A good location for the cache and good to be encouraged to do the walk again. SL Left TB TFTC

I have been to this location a few times now but its always a great place to visit. As I have come to expect, the J 'N' K team have chosen a very good hiding place and made good use of containers.

Nice n easy. TFTC.

Found it while walking in the park. Well presented cache

Walked along the swing bridge track to cache but could have stuck to the road.Quick find.Thanks.

After a frustrating search and DNF on another cache back down the road, it was good to find a nicely designed and hidden cache with excellent accurate coordinates. If I remember correctly, this building used to be a chlorination plant a few decades ago, I have memories of the whiff of chlorine in the air around it. None of that any more now. Cache was quickly found - signed log, TFTC!

When I walked past here with Scouts a couple of months ago I climbed onto where the cache would have been if it had existed. I could have found it!!! (if it was there) TFTC

Joint 2TF with Redants as we made our way around the loop in light rain. I haven't been here for over 20 years, good to come back. The loop took less than 40 minutes to complete, don't be put off by the 1 hour time estimate. SL TFTC.
