A gentle ride along the beach from Bell Block to New Plymouth. Lovely day and views out to sea. A few caches to get on the way. Found this one on the way back as there were some muggles on the outward journey. TFTC

GPS is taking me the long way home for the Mega. Finding lots of great caches on the way. TFTC
 
18-Oct-16
The ramble along the coast track had finally brought me to the coast Razz
And a lookout to take in all that nice coastal scenery Smile
It is amazing how much driftwood piles up on this coastline !!
Must make boating a bit dangerous sometimes !! [:o]

Up here I was away from the muggles,
biking and jogging past Smile
Not too many obvious places to search,
but I still managed to find the cache in the last remaining 'obvious spot' Red Face

TFTC Smile

Out for a evening walk nice hide tftc
 
21-Aug-16

20-Aug-16
Bit of hunting to find this one, was where you would expect it to be though. Was fewer muggles here which was great. Fantastic view. Thanks!
 
11-Aug-16
such a nice peaceful spot

Nice cache. Nice hiding place. TFTC.

Another quick find. Battling wasps and sandals was awful!

Took a while for us to find it until we read the activity. Found within a few seconds. Thanks
 
14-Apr-16
Hunted for this one. Clue in the activity helped! Thanks
 
02-Apr-16

29-Mar-16
Out for a walk with my geo caching buddy, Odie, after reading other posts, thought this was going to be a hard one, so was looking everywhere but the obvious, Odie went to sleep while I searched, finally found it, tftc The Rambling Duo
 
28-Mar-16
Nice walk
 
27-Mar-16
Will try again. Love the view and the place but feel 'strange' fossicking around for a length of time when a cache is difficult to find
 
23-Feb-16
Found it lovely view up here
 
20-Feb-16
Took a bit of hunting! Nice location.
 
10-Feb-16
I can see why people have trouble with this one. The construction of the lookout gives plenty of hiding places that are difficult to properly search. The cache is not in a particularly difficult spot and we eventually found it because some of the outer bag was visible. I made sure this would be the case for the next finder. After that we could enjoy the expansive view.
 
31-Jan-16
Found tonight with Gnome62, he was also keen to find this one as had some DNFs. After much scrambling around and opposite to where we thought I came up trumps. Left my usual diamond. Thanks.
 
16-Jan-16
Could not find this one with three adults and three children searching. Would be better with a clue.
 
15-Jan-16
got to ground zero but no luck, will return, 2nd cache on our tandem bike ride on the coast track , loved the veiw.
 
28-Dec-15
Another DNF for us!
 
16-Dec-15
Can't find
 
13-Dec-15
Had just started looking when a muggle arrived so had to take lots of photo's here while I waited her out. Even ended up taking photo's for her. Once she'd moved on I checked many places & eventually located the cache.
Left a pet rock - a gerbil. TFTC The Rambling Duo

This was our first time on this part of the boardwalk, we are very pleased that it is well populated with caches, although I'm sure a few more could be squeezed in.
Went to the most obvious place first, then worked our way around until we found it in the last place we looked - luckily this didn't take as long as it sounds as there were four of us looking.
 
28-Aug-15
Tftc nice easy find and great views.
 
08-Aug-15
huh, found it this time! I could swear I had searched in that spot last time with no luck; but anyway found it today. Lovely day for a bike ride and explore - thanks Smile
 
02-Aug-15

Fantastic! Went back and really searched this time and found it. Replaced in the same spot. Thank you.

Lovely view of the mountain this afternoon! Lots of muggles on the walkway, but few take the steps, luckily, as the cache seems to have drifted a bit. TFTC

Found this with malady while trying to rethink another cache TFTC
 
08-Mar-15
Quick find. TFTC
 
18-Feb-15
Looked everywhere I would have expected it to be but no joy. Muggled again maybe.
 
18-Feb-15
Perhaps it needs checking.
 
11-Feb-15
Hired some bikes to take in some of the coastal walkway. We looked everywhere were we'd hide a cache but couldn't find it. We had to get the bikes back, so didn't stay for long
 
20-Jan-15
Out for a bike ride down the Coastal Walkway couldn't resist having a quick snoop for a cache, great location, good description and yes just where you would expect it to be...TFTC
 
17-Jan-15
New Container placed, no sign of the other container, we like the views from here.
 
04-Jan-15
Looked very hard but no find! Very annoying!
 
27-Dec-14
No luck here today for me either, gave up too much rubbish and the toilet paper didn't appeal to me. Shame as it is beautiful lookout.
 
24-Dec-14
Too messy , cans , bottles , rubbish -not pleasant. A shame.
 
05-Nov-14
What a lovely spot. I have not ventured to this part of the walkway so decided to go for a wander. Beautiful sunny day and wonderful views. Lucky I managed to get back to the car before the crazy weather and hale storms arrived. TFTC
 
01-Nov-14
Once we returned when the young muggles had moved on, I found this one exactly where I would have put it! Beautiful day to be on the walkway with the dog and pushchair.
 
30-Aug-14
TFTC great spot that we've never deviated to.
 
23-Jul-14
Nice morning walk along the walkway to the cache. Lovely views & spot. Nice hide TFTC
 
18-Jul-14
J found it nice bikeride Smile with P and S good hiding place...
 
08-Jun-14
Ha ha, is there a prize for the greatest number of 'not foundsl'??
 
31-May-14
Found again- previously found with quinella. Took tb
 
I walked/ran from the St Andrews Drive end (approx 1.2km) and after quickly discounting a nearby object I quickly found the well hidden cache. No muggles to worry about as I signed the log.

Great location for a cache - I wish I had my bike with me as this is a fantastic cycle way. Please hide more caches along this path Smile.

TFTC Smile

A lovely day for a seaside walk today. Met a group of 4 women muggles who were quite ensconced here at GZ, so figured tell them what I was doing or go away until they depart. Their appetites whetted we searched and soon had the cache to hand. Bonus was at least three wrote down the geocaching.com address to start playing the game themselves. Dropped off THC 3 and a Waireka honey bee (from my 100th find) to honour this, my 160th. TFTC.
 
10-May-14
On yer bike TB not here Sad
 
20-Apr-14
A great view from GZ on a brilliant walk. Took us a bit of hunting but eventually Cleo had the cache in hand. TFTC.
 
13-Apr-14
Getting cold and dark will try another time as previous comment suggests- could have been muggled?
 
12-Apr-14
Didn't find it despite quite a while of looking by 2 of us Sad Oh well... another time and bigger GZ

Having spoken to JutyBug & Tara Ted today, this may have been muggled, as we definitely were looking in the GZ.
