WTP: Owl (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By Pagenz on 01-May-12. Waypoint GC3JEQ1

Tired of replacing it

Hmm, if I'd noticed the previous DNFs I might not have gone for this one. As it is I'll add mine to the list.

5:03pm ... Now...no clue here. Nothing at knee height that I can see. At least it has shelter from this rain.

Couldn't find Owl again but it was a night time visit. I'll return again in the day sometime, hopefully will have better luck.

Put Owl back on his perch... please take care of the little chap and cover well. I've also upped the difficulty because of the number of muggles around.

Is owl back on his perch?

Didn't find this today; unfortunately I hadn't checked the logs before visiting otherwise I might have known it was MIA.

Nope...not today.

Blast, Owl fallen off his perch again! Will replace as soon as I'm back from Myanmar. Promise.

No luck me me here today. Cheers.

Close to where we were staying and placed since our last visit so needed finding. Had to wait a while for the gardener to move on and then quickly found.

park was packed, some kids dressed up for a birthday party, but i managed to sneak in quickly for a find.

Should have done this during the skills event on 11 Aug, but got too busy talking and hunting trackables, then got discouraged by rain later in the day.
An easy find thanks, after I had moved my bicycle away to get access to it.
I think I belong mostly in the "P" group: Poohs and piglets!

Quick find on this wet night after a game of squash. I wish I was a bit of owl but my puzzle skills need to be improved. Probably more of an Eeyore with a bit of Kanga & roo. TFTC

You must have awfully high knees! I'm a mixture of Tigger, Rabbit, and Owl. Found this cache to celebrate International Geotagging Day, TFTC!

Easy find after second attempt. Nearby playground very busy today, cache well hidden!
MTFTC

To celebrate International Geocaching Day 2012 I decided to just head across the bridge and visit a few caches. I think I'm a big percentage of Pooh, try to be like Tigger sometimes, Sometimes Eeyore, a few feathers of Owl and the rest is made up of Christopher Robin.

Cheers for the cache.

This should have been a straightforward find, but I missed the hide on the first lap around the tree but found it on my second. How I missed it the first time, I have no idea...

With regards to my character, I guess I fall somewhere between Pooh and Christopher Robin, although there have been moments where I've matched most of the others.

TFTC

Found on Skills day. A great effort and thanks to all involved. TFTC

Nice find during lunchtime on skills day. Thanks!

Found after the CITO across the road - well & truly muggled by some fellow attendees!
I'm probably an Eeyore (although my friends think I'm a Heffalump!).
TFTC.

found with Heffalump1990 and alzaro while attending the skills day across the road...

Was FTF in our group this time...

As mentioned on the Tigger log... I'm a Tigger/Owl/Heffalump cross

TFTC!

Just like pretty much everyone else at the event, found this one during the lunch break - why waste too much time eating, when there are unfound caches across the road?!

Well, when we got there, the cache had already been found... but I knew exactly where it was! I mean, been here twice before, once the cache was missing, and the other time it was the middle of the night, and all I saw was some random shirtless man on the playground... and he was definitely not a cacher... so left it that time!

I wonder what all those people on the playground thought? Why are so many people congregating under that tree today?! Haha.

I still think I'm a pooh bear... maybe?

TFTC!!

A perfect one to find at lunchtime on Skills day. I like to think I'm a Pooh. Thanks!

Quick find in the quiet of the morning.

Quick find. Met a familiar face from todays event at gz.

I was attending the nearby Skills Day and decided to collect this during the lunch break. I think that a lot of other people must have had the same idea as this was (almost) a queue . BTW I think that I am a cross between a Piglet and an Owl. TFTC.

Found as part of the field-work course on the skills-day. Nifty wee hide. T4TC

Always nice to do a cache en masse at an event. Would have to say that our team is made up of "Pooh" and "Eeyore" (sssh don't tell the other half that I chose this for him) hehehe. This was a cutie wee hide. SL. TFTC.

...found in the hands of some other cachers, logged and moved on, did at lunch break while attending nearby Skills Day. Thanks for this one, I will now have to do the others.

Nice quick find. Bumped into Rednuam6, nice to meet you. TFTC.

Found with the group on Skills Day. I recon I'm Piglet probably in more ways than one!!! TFTC

This was a pretty easy find during lunch time since a quite large crowd geocachers had the same idea like me: to spend the lunchtime on our hobby rather than grabbing some food.
Thanks for the hide!

Popped up during the lunch break for the Skills day and grabbed this cache. was easy to find when there are caches acting dodgy around a tree.

TFTC

Hanging out at the skills day so popped over to the park at the lunch break. Managed to avoid all the other cachers visiting the cache and enjoyed the park.
100acre wood and its characters were my all time favourite stories when I was young so loved the theme. As far as cache character I think I'm as bit of Eyeore and a bit of Rabbit. TFTC

We arrived at the nearby skills event early so parked up and checked out what caches were nearby. Wandered across the park with Red junior in charge of the GPS. He got distracted by the asian group practising Tai chi or something similar. Managed to redirect his focus while watching where he was going. We got near GZ to have Avoyager "pop" out of the tree and walk towards us. I let Red jnr see if he could find the cache by himself while Avoyager and I made intros and chatted but he didn't have his caching eyes open so with a little help he was able to make the discovery. We must be like Kanga and Roo! TFTC

Popped over here with stretch.kerr after the skills event to grab this one. Muggled a familiar face from the event on arrival to GZ. Quick find here. TFTC!

A quick find during the lunch break of skills day with Tony Would say that I'm probably Piglet whilst my friend Tony is Pooh T4TF!

At the nearby skills day and grabbing a couple of caches at lunchtime.
Neat park nearby - I notice it's called Rocket Park and that there is a Rocket Cafe, Rocket kebabs etc over the road - wondering what the significance of 'rocket' is??
Oh - and I'm still an Eeyore

Made a quick dash across the road to claim this one with Cats & Dragons

Found with MCC while taking a break at the event well hidden for such a busy park, cammo blends in well
TFTC

Nice an handy to the skills day location and a quick and easy find.
I must say that I was very excited to see a Winnie the Pooh themed cache
We had a bit of a play at the playground afterwards (big kids at heart) and learnt that the swings are NOT designed for adults (unless you're rather flexible) due to a safety bar across them. Oh well, we had fun regardless.

Found this cache when visiting the Skills Day. Nice camo hahaha.

A fun find, without too much hunting. Thanks

Nicely placed cache that was nearby the skills venue that needed setting up today. Hopefully Owl will get a few more visitors tomorrow. Don't like making self judgements as to which character we represent so will leave that up to others to decide. TFTC

Found with Wiiphee, who found easily, after all others had gone. While I'm a piglet, she is a tigger for sure. Tftc.

Nice little hide, thanks!

nice easy one

Neat wee hide and so close. Was down in Auckland for skills day staying so this was a quick last one for the night before the skills day Saturday thanks. Yes I'm a night Owl But am more like " Pooh" .

Kieran tried to climb the tree

Had to watch out for the gardeners working 20 m away. Got the job done with being seen, Nice park

Wrong tree but got there.tftc

Found easy
TFTC

In the area, and saw that this had been replaced. Sure enough it was in the spot we saw when trying to find earlier. We are still Kanga and Roo cachers. TFTC

popped along to visit owl and replace his home. All go to go.

I too found the likely spot, and there is nowhere else the cache could be... but it wasn't there!! :0

Hmm... I think I may be Pooh though??

Had a good look for it today while in the area and didn't area looks pretty clear with kids hanging around

can this one be checked please

Wasn't a good start for us today. Searched GZ and found a likely spot, but no cache to be found. We are Kanga and Roo cachers.

Miss Jacksonz found WOL on her way home from Guides. I guess that makes us Kanga & Roo cachers. TFTC.

Nice one to do out on a casual drive. I'm definitely an Eeyore. TFTC

: )

Owl was not roosting tonight ....Easy find at night when all the friends of the park were away for dinner ...I am more like Christopher Robin ...TFTC

Out and about trying out the new phone's caching app. Found the cache, so it must work OK. Now, back to work. Thanks.

Feeling like a Heffalump today, recovering from manflu and trying not to spread the germs with too many people. People should definitely be afraid though...

Managed to score a park nice and close then made a nice quick find in the likely spot. Nicely hidden and we were back in the car before too long. Busy park today. TFTC

Second stop with evilno9 to get this owl. The owl was resting peacefully with few little owls in sight but they were busy playing at the swings. Nice and easy find.

TFTC Pagenz

With a name of owl, it was always going to be...

TFTC

Quick find with most people more interested in the playground. On the way to 100/100 so eyeore is probably best - a plodder. TFTC

Quick find while listening to some happy singing muggles nearby. TFTC

This one was a quick and easy find in the first spot I looked. This Heffalump from the States definitely appreciates two new caches in relatively close proximity to my home. These two brought me ever closer to completing the 100/100 challenge…only two more caches to go! TFTC!

In my local park, so well placed for an afternoon stroll. Definitely like Piglet; possibly a bit of Owl, since for years, I used to do every puzzle cache I could (until I lost interest in sheer quantity of them).

Thanks for the cache.

Teeny tiny one. Make sure you look over and under. Lots of kids around so be stealthy otherwise they'll come and disturb the cache after you leave.

We saw this notification come out last night but as we had a meeting in this area today decided to wait. Although the park was busy there was reasonable cover to conceal our activities. Quick find TFTC. Although we are always keen to find caches I would have to say we are like Christopher Robin

I reckon I could be a few of those characters but tonight I was absolutely Tigger when the publications came through. Came here after finding the tigger cache. This one was quite exposed so spotted from a distance. Tried to cover it a bit. FTF TFTC!!!
