Uh Oh.... another on this list of searchers who couldn't find it. And we were pretty persistent... looked down. Looked Up... in and out and all over, under, and into. Can't help but wonder if the Cache Owner should go and check. We live locally so we're going for another look sometime.
Given the nature of the hint and that I have a exceedingly long arms I think it is high time the cache owner checked out all the DNFs.
A day visiting Foxton and Levin with JonoS today. Started in rain which fortunately stopped managed to find quite a few with only three DNF.
Search high and also low. Think it has gone

Either muggled or else difficulty is far greater than a 1.5, Tall enough to see in the crooks of likely trees, and hands got incredibly dirty feeling around as well.
Pretty sure this one has either been muggled or become gunked up. Searched everywhere even the geokids and nothing found. Suggest owner check up on cache. Did with Wandering Dragons, Violet Butterfly, Mycro Man and Astro Hunter. Thanks for the hunt.
Easy cache to find , Signed and place back .Log may need to be replaced sometime ,TFTC
Lucky Mr RiffRaff is tall - Mrs RiffRaff wouldn't have had a chance. Log is wet and falling apart. Managed to write on a dry-ish blank part. TFTC
Found this cache 0n 9/7/13. Wrote a note regarding the need for maintenance but forgot to record my find. TFTC Will keep a look out for some more caches by Weirdisgood.
26/11/13. Quick find. Just as well the cache has its wet suit on. Log damp and full so added a page from my notes book. tftc
Challenging for Hello Mrs. Found cache on a road trip to Auckland Mega with Rediguana. TFTC
Nice spot for a cache. Retrieved today on the quiet and replaced quickly. TFTC !

A good hide. Fairly quick find. Aired wet log to dry it out so that I could sign it. TNLN SL TFTC!

Log needs to be replaced. In poor condition and almost full. Recommended that new log be put in plastic bag for better protection.

An easy find if you are 6ft tall - luckily I had one with me. Felt sad for the spring flowers being trampled underfoot - which left an indelible clue for the next player. The log is very wet, paper fell apart and needs replacing.
A nice quick find in a great spot. Logbook is a bit damp but still usable.
Tftc!

Had to be careful not to stand on daffodils. Log damp, will need replacing. Nice garden area. TFTC
Thanks for bringing me to a tranquil spot. A quick easy find and then a wander through the park. All quiet at GZ.

Thanks to the previous logs I found it in the first place I looked. Nice easy find this afternoon. TFTC.

A find en route PN to Wellywood. Another Levin cache. Fair bristling with caches this place!
TFTC, all in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden.
The Turtle strikes again!

Did this one at night Recommend wearing gloves you don't know what your touching.
First ever cache I've found by myself. After putting my hands into all types of holes I finally found it.
#4441. Arrived at GZ, but the seat was occupied. Returned after finding another nearby cache, and the muggle had since left. Searched at GZ, but couldn't find the cache. Then as we were leaving, spotted the cache lying in the open on the ground about 20 metres away. Returned cache at GZ in the spot consistent with the hints. Covered with a piece of bark, hoping to minimise the likelihood of it being blown off again. TNLNSL. TFTC.
A quick find. Although I do go on the odd caching bender, I'm probably not as obsessed as I previously had been which both my stats and family will confirm. TFTC
A quick find - log a little damp. Nice park. We're certainly not obsessed - but it was great to make it to 1000 finds today - now for 2000...! TFTC
caching with Infoferret and son easy found after getting to Ground Zero , Jr taybee would like to see bigger caches for swaps Great stop for a cache Have add a FP to it TFTC log by Gsak
Workmen were carrying out roof repairs across the road but didn't seem to notice me

Had to wait out muggles going past, which was surprising as it was raining quite hard. Just pretended to be sheltering from the rain. TFTC
What do you mean "Become"- too late, I already am lol.
An appropriate day to visit this park, unfortunate that the nearby cache in an even more appropriate place has been muggled.
A quick cache and dash with a few minutes to spare before my bus back to Wellington: I was unaware that two new caches had been published in Levin but perhaps that's a good thing because I would have been so frustrated that because my visit was for family reasons (not to mention very heavy rain showers) I would not have got near the new ones anyway.
I regret to say that I returned the log in very untidy condition- the reason for this was that the cache which isn't really of a suitable size for them is almost full of other items, and in my very limited time I could not manage to squeeze the log back in properly. Sorry about that- maybe the owner might consider removing the big item to make a bit more room- I wasn't in a position to swap it out (though on reflection maybe I should have taken it and swapped for a small coin!)

At 5ft 2", ( and caching on my own) I found it a little difficult to retrieve.... But where there's a will, there's a way, and found something in my cay to help me reach my goal. Thankyou. Nice hide
Number 6 today walking around Levin,
Found this one in the lovely little park here, located quickly enough, and had a sit in the shade while signing it.
Thanks!

A quick find between passing pedestrians and cyclists. A great little spot. TFTC.
A pen on the ground indicated that a cacher was here before, so I knew where to look for the cache!

This cache was less than a 100mtrs from my Mum's, took her for a walk to nab this while visiting. Actually Mum retrieved this as I height challenged! TFTC Weirdisgood
Obsessed? Me? Never! Most people plan weekends and holidays around caching, don't they?
The park was deserted when we visited, so after checking out the obvious spot, and not finding the cache, we checked the next obvious one and there it was!

Stopped here for a short stroll on the way back to PN after being in Wellington for the day. A quick find. Becoming more and more obsessed!! TFTC.

What a beautifully peaceful spot - yes, well we must admit to being ever so slightly obsessive about geocaching. We have been travelling almost non-stop in one form or another for about 28 hours now! Will be pleased to get home for a rest (with work on Monday) TFTC

I used to live in Levin and I had no idea this place existed. The things you learn through geocaching!
I had no trouble working out where this cache was hidden and the retrieval, logging and replace process was very quick. TFTC.

#889. A beautiful spot for a cache. Thanks for bringing us here. +glass stone, +monkey. SL, TFTC.
On the way back to Wellie, with a couple of nights in Levin at the better halfs parents, after a great New Year at Mangaweka Campground.
Nice quick find in a park I hadn't been into on my strolls around Levin.

Headed out today with StefTheVet, GabiG50 and my mum on a geocaching expedition around Levin. First stop here, and after about 5 minutes of searching we found it. Great hide, TFTC!
Found on a geocaching expedition around Levin with HamishNZ and StefTheVet. Lovely park, beautiful sunny day and some gorgeous flowers! TFTC.
Never realised there was such a lovely park so close to my work, I think I'll be coming here more often with my sandwiches for some timeout! TFTC
Nicely hidden! Would be a great park for other hides - if it was allowed!
TFTC!

Miss Orsome4some took charge of this one and only needed a little help at the end as there was a slight height issue. TFTC
Cardiffboy 10.15 not first but sneeky find{ sad i wanted to find last night but mrs cardiffboy saved me from a prowl in a park in the dark ) all good thanks a weldone
FTF 8:54 am So happy I nearly didn't add the date. Good hid might be worried about where to collect if muggle were around. I wanted to have one last flurry before the end of the year. 1 of 8 for the day.
