A great find on a nice sunny Wellington day. All quiet at the park when I visited so easy to have a good fossick around. Tftc Boxhill.

5 for 5 on this gorgeous day in Wellington. A fav point for the container.
 
08-Jul-24
Avoided a weekend daytime visit and opted for a weekday nighttime visit. That didn't stop a taxi driver parking right outside GZ during my search (thankfully only to use the facilities briefly), then another car driving past just as I resumed my search! I figured the title out but wasn't sure how to apply it, and the clue was a bit cryptic (albeit translated correctly). Once I spotted it, it all fell into place - very nice. Love these hides which blend in but upon a moment of thought actually don't make sense! FP added, TFTC.

Took me awhile to click to what the name of the cache meant. FP. From me.Had a loan of my friends bike today and had a great time visiting different spots around Miramar today. It is the perfect way to get around to all the different spots. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Didn't bring pen but found it finally... still don't understand the hint... but bane made sense.

We (raija485 and I) have few days to search geocaches and explore the city at the same time. As for the weather, it's really nice to be here and move around (as long it's not raining).Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

Our second day in Wellington. Sunny day, nice caches. Greetings from Finland Thank you for this cache.

I had to wait for a couple to leave before beginning my search. I was not a good French student at school but it did help. Thanks

My teachers never suggested this would be a good reason to pay attention in class.
Originally confused by my translation and by the hint it all made sence once we found the cache

12-Apr-23
Found during a cycle ride of Wellington, made me laugh! TFTC!!
 
07-Mar-23
Not sure if it's there or not, couldn't find it though.
I've probably just missed something.

13-Dec-22
A favourite point for me. A super quick find while in the hood practicing my bowling technique. Day 2 of my new streak. Unsure how long it will last! TFTC.
 
04-Dec-22
Spent the weekend in Wellington enjoying some local caching. This was high on our list to find, however it took visits due to the vast amount of cricket muggles yesterday! Cache and log all fine. Thanks for the smiley
 
02-Dec-22
Today was my work's xmas do in Upper Hutt. Pleasant enough, but after after a few hours I excused myself as I would rather have a few hours of caching in Wellington instead.
I decided to pick an area I rarely get to, so Miramar right through to the Massey Memorial was the focus of my efforts this afternoon.

My schoolboy french served me well here as I spotted the cache immediately. The hardest part was then trying to sign the log surreptitiously and replace it all with the dog in the adjacent garden nutting off! But job done and then scarpered before the owner came out to see what was going on.

Thanks for setting this one up.
 
28-Oct-22
Very clever! TFTC
 
24-Aug-22
A nice quick find, there is one of these in Eltham, a neat cache, gets a favourite point from me, tftc boxhill
 
24-Jul-22
Another Boxhill goodie! Seemed a bit dodgy hanging around this structure but luckily no one else was around. Had us nearly crying and then laughing so given it a FP! No idea what the hint meant.
 
29-Jun-22
All good here again.
 
26-Jun-22
It was brought to my attention at Fridays Event that this cache could be AWOL. Have a replacement in my car. Will put things to rights this week.
 
26-Jun-22
Could not find today, if it’s what in think it is Smile
 
23-Jun-22
Caching day in Miramar with lumin298. It was such a fun to share our Auckland experience of caching together on Wellington grounds. I can call it warming up before Matariki long weekend.
Many thanks also to RogerW1nz and courtesy geo-mobile which did extraordinary tricks on windy roads.
I am logging this cache with CO permission as at the next day event we had a nice chat about it and we presented proof of missing container. I will try to visit this location on my next visit in the Capital too. Thanks!
 
18-Jun-22
Was heading past the area and the cache is no longer there. Is needing replaced or archived
 
27-May-22
Couldn’t find it
 
20-Apr-22
We couldn’t find it so not sure if it’s still there lol.
 
19-Jan-22
Not sure if it is still here?
 
20-Oct-21
Nearly got jumped by the dog
 
18-Oct-21
A quick find here. Great cache. Not sure if it was where it was meant to be though. Like finding caches like this so a fav point.
Thanks for placing the cache boxhill.
Find number 4551.
Log signed b&p.
 
13-Oct-21
A nice quick find thanks. A bit sneaky, and another FP here.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. The weather was wet cold and quite windy today, cruising around Wellington.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.
 
21-Sep-21
Knew what the hint meant, and easy to spot.
 
01-Sep-21
Yes. Took me a while but now I understand. Clever.
 
Thanku!
 
28-Aug-21
Found it. Took a while to put back in place
 
19-Aug-21
Tftc. A cleverly placed cache
 
21-Mar-21
Spent ages looking for it. Could not find. Desperately tried to check comments to see if I could find a clue. Hint doesn't make sense either.
 
07-Mar-21
Managed to snake this one after trying the wrong thing for a while. A lot of people out in the park and didn't read comments first so dog scared me to death haha TFTC
 
23-Jan-21
Very sneaky! Loved it- many thanks (although the neighbouring dog nearly gave me heart failure
 
22-Jan-21
Found this on a drive around the area. Nicely done. Although I did feel a bit conspicuous hanging around public toilets. A guy with a couple of dogs was keeping an eye on me, and I fully expected a cop car to screach up at any moment... Loved the originality. Gets a favorite point from me. TFTC.
 
11-Jan-21
Driven away by the barking dog trying to leap the fence!
 
01-Jan-21
Buses were free yesterday so jump on a few and went around grabbing caches. Got to this one and it had my husband fooled. Lol. Enjoyed this one. Tftc
 
23-Dec-20
I was out and about in the area today with my geo-pal Demainiac. As we came into the area, Demainiac had a nostalgic moment as he reminisced about playing cricket on these grounds when he was a younger guy. Anyway, after parking we set our attention to the task of finding this one. Demainiac initially walked past it but I found it once I realised that something very cool wasn't quite in the right place. A favourite point from me! So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next geo-hunter. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. We both really appreciate it. TFTC!
 
23-Dec-20
Great find with sherlock the puppy! Excellent hide!!!
 
20-Dec-20
I helped mum and Dad look for this one. Mum found something but didn't want to break anything. So dad got it off.
 
20-Dec-20
Very good hiding spot. I poked it but was a bit of a chicken when it came to pulling at it. My cashe partner came to the rescue. Tftc
 
12-Dec-20
Dog watcher barked away at us but clever cache. Tftc
 
12-Dec-20
Nice clever cache and easy find with @peadub though we d8sturbed the neighbour's dog. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC.
 
21-Nov-20
Lol this was a good find. TFTC
 
02-Oct-20
Couldn’t work out the clue at all!! Unfortunately couldn’t find Sad
 
26-Sep-20
That is devious, I'm learning not to trust anything in this game! - like others I still dont get the hint at all - but I'm going to find out what it means.
 
05-Sep-20
I popped by here by complete chance because Mr Pazza needed to stop and sort out the roof racks on the car. I felt under pressure to find this fast because he didn’t want to stop for long. I thought for a minute I would walk away with a dnf but instead walked away chuckling at the c.o ‘s wicked sense of humour because I had found it by the eleventh minute! It was a double bonus coming here because I picked up a really cute pathtag as well. Cool
 
03-Sep-20
Woohoo, got back here midweek, and much easier. Very sneaky, loved it!
