Between a rock and a wet place (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By gernita on 30-Dec-12. Waypoint GC43FY4

We walked along to here, stepping over the canoodling couple on the way. Last time we tried to look for this cache we realised that we were on the wrong level, so today we had started at the bottom.We read the hint, and then read the WN that a previous finder couldn't find the cache again a couple of days after first finding it. Then we noticed the pile of soil, and the pile of mulch, and that there were quite a few new looking plants in the gaps between the rocks and lots of mulch with them.We tried a few places but did not want to disturb the planting, or slip down into the water.It might be a good idea for the CO to check the cache isn't underneath one of the new plants.

I've already found this cache, i came back with my brother for him to find it and it seems like its missing. There have been some new plants planted here so its possible someone has taken it

Good hide, not the easiest for older folks however.

The call came out for the magma crescent ftf and I had to wait the looooongest time for himself to get home with the car. Didnt even let him park, jumped in and off we went. Then we had to stop for petrol! Missed ftf. But scored stf. And decided to mop a few others while we were here. Have climbed on the wall many times but never visited this end of things! TFTC

Cache found!

After 3 or 4 failed visits, I've finally found this one!! I live close by so this one has been annoying me, pleased to get it done at last.Yes reading the earlier logs helped: maybe over a metre down from the grass on the flat ground, about 5m from the cliff edge, and not under any sort of thorn bushes.Great location, all good with the log etc, TFTC!!

Couldn't find. There were a group of muggles fishing near gz

Came here with some young geocachers, not sure it is a great location for them, quite a lot of prickly gorse around at the moment and the terrain is quite rocky, although not sure exactly if we were looking in the right place. I think the GZ point may not be accurate, as it points to the upper path on the map, however people seem to be commenting it is at the lower level.

Tough to find in the bushes

Idk just didn't. We checked everywhere

Nice spot bit tricky for me

Very fun find! Travel bug inside for anyone who's interested

Little tricky to find. Nice spot, thank you

Found with DVNKSY

Quite tricky to locate at first!

Stik-a-crane TB placed

Found! #2 for me - yay and thanks!

Took agesss. Under big rock not little; don’t have to move anything

Took a few minutes to find. You don't need to lift any rocks

Nice hide, TTTC

M24: dot day today, after bussing my little sister to school, had to find a cache particularly close. For some time, I've been wanting to check this one out. Walking through wet grass and wobbly rocks, it didn't take long before I had the cache in my sight and in my hand. Nice and easy find, log all good and signed. TFTC.

Whew! That was a good cache! Just as I was halfway walking back, my friend pointed out a clear container. This is my first cache, and definitely a good one! Completely intact cache.
By the way, it's right near the top of the hill, about 50cm down. Good luck to everyone else.

So abit of a story with this one. Read previous logs so I knew this was wetlands level (the geo marker is abit confusing) Very cool cliffs tho! I started hunting under rocks that fit the description and found nothing, I looked for awhile & was about to head off when I noticed a systema container in the bush! Surprisingly the log was allgood and I was able to sign and left a Swiftmantis art sticker for the next finder. I'm not 100% sure if where I re hid the cache is entirely the correct position but I did my best to fit the hint near where I found it. Be careful on the rocks as some are wobbly if your a rock hopper like me TFTC

Took a while at night

Forgot a pen but found it after wandering around for a while, tftc!

Lovely day out tftc

No pwn and didn't bring a pen but lovely eria

Couldn't find it. Lots of rocks to look under. Would be helpful if there were more clues / distinguishing features at the location

Nice view

Sunday afternoon, lovely weather for a stroll around here. A few rock climbers nearby. Geomissus sat down to read about the cache, then just reached down and plucked it out, a rare bit of instant success. All good here. TFTC

Cool hide. Quick finds while out shopping. TFTC

Cool

Cool nice hide.

We weren’t quite sure which level to be on, but the bottom level was correct in the end!

Found it relatively quickly after reading the hint.

Nice walk out here, thank you!

Thanks good little adventure on the rocks

Thanks good hide

Tftc, nicely hidden

Took us a while but we found it in the end. Not prepared and no pen.

Tftc Found it not to far from the grass. Lucas

So many rocks but which one to pick? Look out for the dip

Thought I found it on the walkway, but it was really down by the lake.
C’com!!!!!!
Now to start the long walk back to find it.

TFTC

It took us longer than it should have

Bit harder than expected with the plant debris and unsteady ground around the dead Pampus bushes

Close to grass line

Good spot

Tricky find but in a really cool spot! We have now cleared the whole Stonefields area.

Great little spot!

Yay first find!!

Found it great spot beautiful walk

Stood in front of cliff - too many wasps around

Good place. Found it after a short search

Very hard, clue helped!

Tricky spot. No match for Paige though!

Nice and easy

Bingo. Hardest one so far. Close to grass line.

Cool spot

Nice spot cool cache

Had sometime on our hands this weekend after a Wet week
Nice easy find with a new Log Book thanks to the CO

Back up this way again with ABCDF4
Nice easy find

Cool spot

Cool

Visited area of Stonefields couple hours before Community Celebration Event: Farewell Agazo with lumin298.
The trick here was to be at the right level!
Is not so obvious by looking at the map but when we ended up at the higher grounds we spotted our "mistake".
At GZ it took a while but no that long. There was a SPOR at cache location so it was helpful.
Good to see brand new container and logbook too.
TFTC!

Found this one with Tramyard on the way to the Community Celebration Event nearby. As he already wrote in his log, we started off looking for this one at the wrong level, but soon realised where we needed to be. Had to turn over quite a few rocks before we found the cache, but once we did it was good to see that it's in excellent condition with a brand new logbook as well. T F T C!

Lol we looked high and low (literally) and circumnavigated the pond (my wife in her dress boots). Finally found our first cache!

Found it

Log is very wet and container is broken

Cool find

Found it. Container is broken needs replacing

Took a while to find but eventually did

Found it!

2nd find today with grandson Nathan. Container lid is split and has allowed water in. Damp log.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Took us a while but eventually found it sneaky placed through the rocks, highly recommended.

Found it ️ good cache

Really good spot, thanks

Out and about on a lovely warm day. The cache was not so easy to find with co-ords showing a few metres away. The log is dry but as reported the container lid is cracked. Thanks CO for the cache

Hard work the first time we looked 6 months ago. Thanks to the flax and grass being cut back and thanks to Mummy we found it this time.

Found

Great spot thanks for the cache

TFTC, Great View of lake!

Tyftc!!! Not too daunting once we got close

Easy find when I saw the corner of the container, unfortunately it’s busted and waterlogged
I’ve added a new waterproof log as the paper one is falling apart

See my log

Great hiding spot. Big clue.
Needs a pen/pencil in it to sign book.

Cache all good, plenty of room in log book.

Moved to the area this week so this one is pretty close to home.Came for a small walk about this evening.Plenty of people about making the most of the nice weather.Glad that the cache was out of the way and we were able to make a quick find whilst the fisherman down below listened to his music.Cache is nice and dry and in great condition.

Thank you, it was a nice walk and view of the pond

Found with my son. Been wanting to head to these wetlands and finally made it. Tftc

Found it

Yes

A, M, B and C-L found it

Hard find.
1st time we tried to find it we couldn’t find it.
2nd time we came we found it.

Good cache but not easy to find. Had to rely on the hints and clues. Close to the top so don’t head towards the lake too much! TFTC

Open photo for help.

Nice one to find on a beautiful day.

Is a bit tricky! But do able

Hard to find but you’ll get there small rock between two large ones

If you follow the clues/hints you will find it, however the GPS location is a bit off

Lots of cutty grass.
