Blown away by Wellington! (Wellington) Wellington, North Island, New Zealand

As there's been no cache to find for months, 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 unarchive it.

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 14 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

Numerous DNFs, no response to a maintenance request from January, and the CO doesn't appear to be active any more. It's probably time to close this one down.

Also didn't find, really god spot for a cache though!

Did not find. There is so much rubbish though that a well camo'd cache could be missed. Might need checking by someone in the know!

Not there

Was not having successful day geocaching (found 1 out of about 4 were were looking for) but based on the other comments here this one might actually be missing.

No luck today despite a very thorough search of quite a wide area with team geocacher Mr. T. I shall put on watch to see if anyone finds it, although I wonder if it has gone AWOL.

Pretty sure we found the exact spot, but there was nothing there…

Came by for another visit, had a very good look around. Checked several other likely spots encase it had been moved. I think this may need checked that its still there and hasn't been muggled.

Thought we were in the right place, but could not see it.

Was a very windy day and no muggles about. I could see several good hiding spots where it could have been. Will try again another day.

Found! Windy days are best as muggles are at home

Up in Wellington for work, and was naturally keen to find some caches while at it!

So posted on the Geocaching NZ facebook page to see if anyone else was keen too - sure enough, yay! So met up with Fire woof who was also here for work, and we headed out this way to find a few before it got late.

Luckily it wasn't quite that windy, but still a bit.

Managed to find this one pretty easily too.

Consec caching day # 1033

Found with sonia26642 while both of us were in Wellington for work. Quickly found in its hiding place. TFTC

1178 Down in Wellington for work. Workmate heading back to Hamilton so jumped the taxi and caching my way back to central. Not quite enough wind to blow me away today.

Fairly obvious find, was quite hard to actually get though because it was rush hour haha

Heading to town and stopped to grab this cache. Got to ground zero and could see the cache in its hide so retrieved and walked away to the nearby seats to do the paperwork. TNLN and returned the cache to its spot. Thanks for the placement jack.marshall.

Found it on a very windy day tftc

nice quick find tftc

Literally blown away, wow it was windy today, but nice to sit down and take a moment to enjoy the harbour view. TFTC! P.S- No trackables were in the cache when we looked today.

On a road trip to Wellington from Hastings, and this was one of the finds here in and around town. Thanks for the cache.
Love the sign! and enjoyed watching the planes landing on this blustery afternoon.

Easy find. Not too windy. Had just enough time to grab before airport pickup. Tftc

I uplifted a TB that was not listed in the inventory. It was actually listed as 'missing'. I note that three other TB in the inventory are not in the cache! added a fav point as here was where I found the missing bear (TB)

found it while my brother was playing futsal in the asb stadium

No surprise that it's a bit windy here! But sunny and mostly muggle free. Tftc

Blustery northerly today so no muggles about but lots of splashing waves. Got a bit wet and had to open carefully to ensure nothing blew away. Easy find.

On my way to the airport to fly home to Sydney, I had a few minutes over so I went for this cache. I parked by the road just after GZ, and when I left the rental car I got some strange looks from a number of people hovering around. I realised after a while that the spot seemed to be a parking place for cars on sale, almost every car had a sign with 'For sale' on it.
Walked down to GZ, and at first had problem with the GPSr to settle, but after a while I found the cache, retrieved and signed the log.
Walking back to the car, stil there at not being sold, took off and headed to the airport.

Beauty

Fairly simple find - the flax seemed to be a bit worn down. TFTC

Not so windy today, so it was no problem at all to get this one

Nice little find by the geo kids. Love the big jets overhead. Always good to watch. Tftc

Nice one to do with my niece

Easy find after reading the hint, the grass was rustling in the wind while we were there. A seal was spotted rolling in the waves close to the rocks. TFTC

Easy find. Thanks

Nice and sunny today, but we were still blown away with the sign, a few other tourists taking pics as well, TFTC.

Log book was wet but container was dry ?? Very confused but anyway was great spot and cache thanks

Sun looks wonderful and found a cats eye cheers.

At night but still easy peasy lemon squeezie

Our first cache this Morning. We've been on our way to a lovely Cafe at the waterfront to meet our nice ! So we just pulled over to get this cache! It was not soooo easy to find but finally we got it( in heavy rain).Too bad, no big aircrafts over our heads...)) thank you for hiding!

Out on a nice evening walk.Tftc!

Easy find even in the dark. Beautiful views at night! Found with Barttys44

We had an hour or so to spare at Wellington Airport today so we thought that we would go for a walk down to find this cache. A great spot for a hide and a good size container as well. We dropped off a TB that is looking to further it's travels. TFTC [^]

Found this cache during our NZ holiday in 2015.
Thanks at all owners for hiding and showing us the places.

Picked up traveling tag. It won't be in Wellington long lol ...

Quick find. TFTC Greetings from Austria

Tftc, great spot!

Been trying to get this one for a while but always very busy. Amazing how busy it is still at 11 pm. Tftc

Tftc and I took a trackable

No luck with this. The flax is very thick and a fair bit of rubbish around.

Went back after work and nailed the bugger. How I missed it the first time I don't know. #15

Quick find on a windy wellington day. Dropped off FarmtagZ

On the way to the airport had to give the beautiful Messica an experience with Wellington Wind, did not disappoint

My cheeky Welly find before leaving!

Picked up trackable.

Quick find by the little bear on a beautiful sunny Wellington day. TFTC

Weekend search for caches, before I have to leave beautifull Wellington. TFTC

Knew the location quite well, so it was a quick and easy find. Tftc, good spot, love watching the planes.

#386. Felt blown away by the wind today and the resulting salt spray. Also blown away by the volume of traffic on this roundabout. Very hard to geocache here without feeling like everyone is looking at you. Hopefully they were eyeing the road and not me. Found cache quickly, signed off and fumbled it back into place trying not to look too conspicuous. TB dropped off today. TFTC

A trip back to the North Island, by air, and via Wellington resulted in a stop over in excess of 3 hours. I'd also got a couple of frozen crayfish along for the ride so stashing them in the temporary baggage drop room was the priority first before anything else was considered. I dropped off both my bags, cool bag and back pack but ensured I'd retrieved my very important G P S for entertainment purposes! I'd preloaded a few Welly caches which were possibles on foot in the time I hd. I had (briefly) considered going through to Oriental Bay to make a start on the Earth cache there but decided to save my coin, and try again in the future.
Second cache on my just passing through pass through. Nice and easy find though wasn't very well protected, not sure if the wind had blown it out of it's hiding place. Placed a small rock into the container to give it some ballast, and replaced where the hint insinuated.
Took what I thought was a T B but it's just a mini-tag
T F T C, bit choppy here today and cooler than Marlborough

Another find by the 6th bday party giggling girls

Verry windy place and weth. Tftc

We visited Wellington an did some caches.
Mahopalu

Found this cache on our windy day in Wellington. We had few hours before we had to check in to the fery so we made a lil ride along the bank and founf few caches Thanks a lot for making this cache in wellington and showing us this place Lovely city, maybe too windy :-/

Awesome found on way to airport tftc

Nice easy cache and dash, on our way back to Feilding. Trackable still there, I'm afraid. TFTC!

Can next cachers check if TB Kiwi is still there, please? And take it to the Southern Island if possible? It's so close to iTS goal. I'm there next week. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the find. Found by Dunc_NZ and speedy 12.

The furthest cache for our walk along the water today. Nice to see this spot from a different angle, and nice to see a decent size cache as well. Thanks.

Late getting this signed off. Got new phone and had to start again. Thanks Relief1@

Heading to the airport to catch a flight south to Dunedin, this little treasure was right on the way
Thanks to the owner for this nice hide - and cheers from Germany!

Yeh we found it, this is een Nice area and verre windy
We come from Holland!

Yeh de Kiwi is landed! Here in NewZealand, was comming from Holland

When looking between two clue object didnt turn up anything extended search slight and located on a wet gusty Wellington day. Found with Selesi. TFTC

Found by UlmusLynx I have tried this before but was a bit further towards road than I ventured. Unlike before there were no foot or cycle muggles. TFTC

It lived up to it's name today. Very windy and a bit of rain but that meant less people. TFTC.

Beautiful on a nice sunny day, the view is great. I put a trackable in there and the piece of paper that come with it says that they want to trackable to be back in Germany by the end of 2014, so if anyone is going to Germany it would be good if you could take it.

Macfam41 found it @ 11:15 24th Nov. Good easy find but very windy today.

Found this on a beautiful walk along the wellington's bays from the train station to the wellington sign. I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for this cache!!!

yup!

Nice location. But windy today though.

Very straightforward, found straight away on a lovely sunny morning:) tftc

Not a bit of wind here today - a simply gorgeous Wellington day. A nice straight forward find with Skaga. TFTC

#1216 The start of a mini-assault of Miramar Peninsula with Nic-jay on a beautiful Spring afternoon. Managed to get a park nice and close and soon had the cache in hand. Decent size for the spot. TFTC.

Even when it's a nice day in the rest of the city it's windy here! Quick find by Miss Wicm Junior - she loves it when she makes the find!

Think the Pilot might have muggled us!

Found with SJT_NZ

TFTC gave me a reason to go for a walk on a cold and windy Wgtn day

Nice easy find on a brisk winters day.

Chose a calm night to come out here and find the cache. Nice area of path away from the cars. TFTC

With MacPacMum and MacPacDad up for the weekend we couldnt pass up the opportunity to do the two along the windy coastline one at the beginning and one at the end

We were blown away coming into Vellington on Saturday but it was nice and calm to fly out today. Were amused that half of the W on the Wellington sign seems to have been blown away.

Quick find while out and about trying to collect a few souvenirs for the August challenge. TFTC

Certainly were blown away today!
