Can the owner please check if its still there? Searched for a long time an couldn't find it. It has been found for months
Quick find from the wee Waldens. Didnt even know the look out existed, been past plenty. Cheers for bringing us here. Tftc
Awesome views of our beach & city. Thanks for bring us up here....just waiting for some muggles to leave before we can replace...oh no they've pulled their lunch out...TFTC
2nd time here to take a look and glad to see not much rubbish about, quick work of the cache hunt was made by my muggle BF. Still beautiful views. Thanks for the hide.
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
The ramble along the coast track had finally brought me to the coast
And a lookout to take in all that nice coastal scenery
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
Not too many obvious places to search,
but I still managed to find the cache in the last remaining 'obvious spot'

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!
We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun but no luck today. Sigh. Thanks for placing the cache.
Took a while for us to find it until we read the activity. Found within a few seconds. Thanks
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
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
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.
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.
Could not find this one with three adults and three children searching. Would be better with a clue.
got to ground zero but no luck, will return, 2nd cache on our tandem bike ride on the coast track , loved the veiw.
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.

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.

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
Fantastic! Went back and really searched this time and found it. Replaced in the same spot. Thank you.
But we are newbies. Might need a bit of help as this is the 3rd we couldn't find.
Part of my one a day caching mission, This one a nice wee walk with the wife and dog. Took a little while as about 5m off the co-ords but in the end it's Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap.TFTC! Blenheim Bear

One if the prettiest cache spots I have seen. Left Australian travel bug as it can probably see home from here
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
Cache still there. Never been this far along walkway before. TFTC

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
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
New Container placed, no sign of the other container, we like the views from here.
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.
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
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.
Nice morning walk along the walkway to the cache. Lovely views & spot. Nice hide TFTC
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 .

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.
A great view from GZ on a brilliant walk. Took us a bit of hunting but eventually Cleo had the cache in hand. TFTC.
Getting cold and dark will try another time as previous comment suggests- could have been muggled?
Didn't find it despite quite a while of looking by 2 of us 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.

This was the turn-around point for Mrs BaldEd and I as we cycled the Coastal Walkway. Nice quick find. TFTC.
