Hey Presto! Wellington, North Island, New Zealand
By kjwx on 14-Feb-13. Waypoint GC44YJ9

Came here on the weekend and decoded the clues, the GZ made sense but I was ambushed by a dog walker so left it. Back today to make the find, taking the previous logs into account, and quite sure I had the right spot, but a thorough investigation on hands and knees (with torch) was fruitless. Recalculated the coords to be sure but no luck.

Round 2 in Karori Cemetery. I was here a few days ago up in the hills, but didn't have time to find all the ones I wanted at ground level, so back today to complete my list.Windy but dry when I was here in the morning.No problems finding the cache as per the hints.In good order.Very nice area to wander around as the track is well-maintained and the forest mature. It is evidently a very popular area here as I passed several dog walkers, runners and individual people walking and listening to music.TFTC kjwx and thanks for bringing me to Thomas William Driver. I can't get over how big this cemetery is - it just goes on and on! - and it would be very easy to miss this fascinating person! ,';*={thanks}-*;', ,;:*(thanks}:*;*:{thanks}*:;, ,;{thanks}:;:*{thanks}:;:{thanks);, `;:{thanks};:{thanks}:;{thanks}:;' `*&;:{thanks}:;:{thanks},:;&*' `-+;:*{thanks}*:;+-` `-\\\||///-' __ \\||// __ / `------' \ | }-(______)-{ | \___/ |||| \___/ /_, |||| ,_\ \| |/

Truly meritorious entertainment. Love the cache description, enjoyed wandering around an interesting part of the cemetery (shame so many of the graves look uncared for), and an easy find at the final, TFTC

This was my last stop while on a visit to the area today. Thanks very much for showing me this interesting thing, very enjoyable.The cache was a quick find, although 15 metres or so from my calculated coordinates. It is a bit of a hot mess in the container but the latest logsheet is still good to use.Thanks very much for the cache.

Yay! Back in this area today and able to exchange my blue sad face for a smile. Scratching my head as to how I missed this one last time - gc blindness for real. Hey presto rather pronto today! (Stream level so much lower today!!) Its amazing what you learn whilst geocaching- very interesting!)Many thanks for setting this one up. All fine, although very damp. Waterproof log does the job

tftc!! took a moment to find the site but managed in the end !

In the final week of what has been a 2.5 month working holiday through South East Asia and Oceania. Some roughly accurate overall trip stats:~ 830 total finds (non-AL)- 424 in Australia- 196 in New Zealand- 131 in Thailand- 40 in Hawaii- 14 in South Korea- 12 in Nevada- 5 in Indonesia- 4 in Malaysia- 2 in Laos- 1 in MyanmarOf the 830 total finds, roughly 110 of them were multis (my favorite cache type).14 year 2000 caches including all of the year 2000 caches in OceaniaOldest caches found in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, and Indonesia9 virtual only fizzy fillers (5/5, 4/3, 1.5/3.5, 2/4.5, 4/3.5, 2.5/5, 2.5/4, 2/5, 3/4.5)2 earthcache only fizzy fillers (2.5/3.5, 3/3.5)4 California original fizzy fillers (5/2.5, 2/4.5, 3.5/4.5, 4.5/1.5)Many thanks to all the COs who have placed these caches for me to find!I came down the hill and found the poorly maintained cemetery/grave. Interesting bit of local history. Came up with the final shortly after. Thanks.

Bit of a clamber to find it but cool find. Container had a bit of water inside

I solved this puzzle sometime ago and visited GZ last year -no luck. it happens nosy, no wanted to find this case too. So today we came back to the area. We met a couple walking the dog and had a great chat about quiche, 1st to find hounds and golf. At GZ, as it often happens, the person with you finds it quickly. Hmmmm Let 6 days of fun begin: Nosynel is up from Chch and we are caching here, there and everywhere until she flys back next week.Kia ora rawa atu for the cache kjwx.

I flew to Wellington today and am slowly making my way to Dannevirke. I am travelling with NZB. Greytown, back to the Hutt and Wellington are all on the agenda I needed to find a multi today and this was it. A pity the graves are so over grown

Wow what a great tale of an interesting guy! One of us somehow managed to invent a new question that gave us coordinates a million miles away. Doh! Once we figured that out and trekked all the way back, the find was quick. Fabulous tranquil spot. All good with the cache TFTC

This was a fun cache! A neat location, old gnarly overgrown headstones, TTOT that won the day, and eeek a VERY large spider guarding the prize - all in a day of a life of a geocacher - lol. The contents were wettish and rusty, but the recent replacement log all good. Now all tucked away again. TFTC kjwx a favourite from me.

It feels kinda weird actually logging this cache. While I hadnt logged a DNF but I have visited GZ 3 times without success. On one of those occasions it was quite an intensive search and still no goods. I have followed others journeys and tried to glean helpful hints but it remained unclaimed on my map. Today I was in the area with multiple past finders and I mentioned it was becoming a nemesis. So of course they were all keen to (watch me suffer/help me out??). Indeed they did help me out and we took a different area each with the cache coming from a place I had searched before. My name is finally on this one. I think it has to get a FAV as I have enjoyed the fun and games. Thank you for a great puzzle and cache.

Found while visiting from Blenheim. A great day for a quiet peaceful wander. New dry log placed. Great hint led us to the cache. TFTC

Dash! Found the grave alright and did the mahi to work out where next. Then off again to nearby. Spent what felt like an age clambering and searching in all sorts of spots but it’s invisible to me. The structure mentioned in a previous log has been repaired and the tree that did the damage is still there. An old boot rests on top- wonder what the story is here (and yes, I looked to see if a cache was in there!)
Will watch and see how others do here. Did go back and tidy grave a bit. Sad the way everything is overgrown in this cemetery- big job!

Having just done a multi elsewhere in the cemetery this one provided a good excuse to explore the area a bit this being my first visit. A bit of speculation and a few errors were required before I figured out how to get to WP1. I had some issues with the ambiguous nature of some of the questions with no clarification about whether numbers are words or not. I came up with something plausible though and made my way over to a likely GZ. The GPS was not helping me get to the right actual location so I used cache sense to have a go at where I thought a logical hide might be. I couldn't see where I wanted to look so speculatively reached in and put my hand on something promising. I wasn't expecting that to go quite so well. The log isn't in great shape and I made a mark which could be interpreted as a sig and date.

I found a different route back and completed a very pleasant stroll. TFTC.

I am working on a strak and on top of that my calendar says that not only is it a Small 1-day it is also a multicache dot day. So I may as well find a small multi. Not many of those around. I tried one but screwed up the numbers so badly that I decided to save it for another time and came over here. Alas, working off a cellphone which is a bit marginal under heavy tree cover, but eventually I found the magicians hideout. Then, after a short internal debate about what question K means, I had some good coordinates. My phoner pointed me to a big tree so I checked that out, then it pointed me about 20 metres away - oh, yeah. Under trees. So I used the hint. Sorry about that but there are a lot of good hiding places within a 30m radius. Anyway, the cache was found after realising a bit of extra enthusiasm might be needed, but alas it is sopping wet. Could use a whole new kit, perhaps the new style sistema that is way more waterproff than the style used here (which is a) not waterproof at all and b) if a high humidity environment).

Would have dropped a path tag in but I didn't want it to get rusty. Would have been a favourite too.

Side not - a big tree has fallen nearby, just missed turning the cache hide to matchsticks. In fact part of the hide structure has been severly damaged, just not a critical part.

122 multi dot days to go. Not going to complete this this year. Or next year. Probably not the year after either.
Only 14 more dates till I get 2 smalls for each date of the year. That I can complete next year!

Found after some rather amateur sleight-of-hand (ie blind fumbling) Bit wet inside, but log OK. Picked up a trackable. Tftc!

Found the gravesite and deciphered the clues but unfortunately no find on this one for us today. Probably need more experience, just starting out

A damp day in the cemetery but an awesome walk to a hidden part of this wonderful place. Pleased I had the gummies with me! TFTC

Well i got a text from Rattll and Mar1sa on Monday night asking if I wanted to go on a road trip to get highest favourite point caches, I said I would be a starter as Mr Watcache would be away so why not and I needed to get the 500 points for cache carnival. Mar1sa being so organised sent us all a list of caches we were going to try and get if we got all of those we would come home with 650 points she is so organized. Saturday came along up at 5,30am picked up at 7am sharp, then off to Sanson to pick up Rattll there onto the main drag to get our first cache a few k's to go to even start caching. great conversation was had then we met trignz at the first cache and we all stayed together using the team name as (WaRMT) it has all the first letter of our cache names in it with an extra a to form it. There were such great caches we got today and this was one of them no wonder they have high favorites we went all over Wellington up hills down hills down same roads many times did some long bush walks again up and down hill went through a lot of cemetery's ya always think of Wellington as up and down hill small tight streets but it opened my eyes to some great parks and walkways but the parking was always a challenge. Thank you for placing this cache for us all to enjoy gets a favorite point from us. we took nothing left nothing but we did sign the log WaRMT. once we had all the caches we had on the list we got the odd extra few caches always a bonus getting more than you planned for. we were Lucky enough to stop for lunch around 4pm but we did stop twice for coffee drinks and supplies to keep our energy levels up. about 7pm it was time to head for home Mar1sa was driving the whole day and did an amazing job we all had turns at navigator we finally got home at 9pm ready for a rest cuppa and bed. an amazing road trip and I think we are all still speaking to each other. again thank you for the cache gets a favorite point from us. picked up nothing dropped off nothing and signed the log we placed the cache back exactly where we found it. two Trackables dropped off

we were a mixed team today and needed a name so signed as WARM T which covered Watcache, Rattll, TwigNz and Mar1sa.
we managed to find some really neat caches and tick off some good puzzles.
up at 5.40 am and home at 9pm and now some logging to do.
thanks for the great cache

Mar1sa and I hatched a plan during the week for a day trip to Wellington, chasing high favourite point caches to collect points for the latest souvenir challenge. We asked Mrs Watcache if she'd like to join us and later Twignz was added to the team as well. Although I'm more of a coffee drinker, we couldn't make that work with our initials so eventually decided to sign the logs as "WaRM T" to save on time and space on the logs.
This one took a bit of spotting as we tried one area and not finding it looked elsewhere (which was where the GPS indicated), but returned to the original spot to have Mar1sa eventually spot the little blighter!
I left a pet rock - a gerbil.
Thanks for setting this up kjwx

They say that you can't beat Wellington on a good day, and today has to have been one of the very best I've experienced for a long time. No wind at all, the Tasman sea almost like a mill pond on the drive down. In short, stunning!

In fact it was a perfect day to get invited along to spend some time with Watcache, Rattll and Mar1sa on a hunt for some highly favourited caches to hopefully get all the points required to complete the Cache Carnival event. A day that would see us having plenty of laughs, some surprises, lots of walking including a fair bit of vertical ascending (this was Wellington after all), a few wrong turns (I blame the navigator lol!) but most of all good company and shared success. For the sake of easy logging, our collective team caching name was WaRM-T, and this was what was recorded when signing all logbooks.

A real team effort required for this cache. Having parked as close to GZ as we could reasonably get, we walked towards the solved co-ords only to find the land disappear in front of us. It was a definite theme of the day that route would seldom be direct. I went one way whilst my friend went the other, and I soon found the correct way to where we needed to be. I was pretty sure I was in the right place, but then was distracted by the grave itself, to which we paid a few minutes of attention before returning to where I had been looking initially.

Finally Mar1sa found the cache itself and extracted the log so we could sign it. Getting the log back in the little box proved to be a whole different kettle of fish but eventually I succeeded in getting it all back together. A great excuse to see a part of Wellington I certainly wouldn't have seen without Geocaching.

Thanks for the interesting cache, and helping us have a memorable day.

The grave is all over-grown

A Magic find

Easy find. Great day out. Tftc

Found on second look, hidden very well, I recommend you magic up some light while looking for the cache

After an evening of walking 'round in the Otari-Wilton bush, I ended up here. After finally getting to the appropriate grave site, quickly gathered the required info, and headed off to the final location. Realised that the log book to sign was deep inside, managed to extract without to much trouble. TFTC.

I'm staying with a friend in Standen St so I took the opportunity to do a little exploring of the neighbourhood. It took a little bit to locate the grave and after a couple of takes I go the check sum correct and off I went. A nice dry spot for the container. At first I didn't locate the log book which happened to be outside the plastic container and signed the slip of paper that someone else had signed. It was only when I was putting the log book container into the plastic container that I realised that there was a log book within.

Another awesome night cache.Thanks for this night cache

found it at night but a bit scared. go in day instead. arrrrrrrr
TFTM

Over dinner we discussed which night cache we should do and decided on Night Terrors. We couldnt pass up the opportunity to do a couple of multis on the way. A fun we multi and were treated to glow worms near the final. TFTC

#8206

We had waited for twelve months for this weekend, we first heard about the event when we were at the Geofest in Oamaru. From that moment on we were committed to coming to Wellington to attend what turned out to be a Mega event.

Neither of us have ever spent anytime in or around Upper Hutt and we had only ever found a couple of caches in Wellington, so the playing board is totally full for us, it was a bit overwhelming where to start.

While having dinner at the club in Upper Hutt we got chatting to a Christchurch cacher who asked if we were attending the quiz evening. When I told her that we were wanting to find a night cache she said that she had found the one based around here. She recommended we give it a go so here we are.
We headed here with a few other cachers from Nelson (and Christchurch). I am very pleased that we were in a group as I might have not enjoyed it so much if there was only the two of us. When doing the night cache there were a few times when we split up to try to find the next marker, but soon enough we would hear someone call out - over here, and away we would go again.
This experience was made even more memorable by the howling wind that was whistling through the big trees on the ridge.
While doing the night cache we found this multi, at first we ummed and arred about if we should do it or not. Let's give it a go was the unanimous decision. A short time later we heard GK say 'hey presto' as he produced the cache.
Thank you for placing this cache, all the more fun was had by finding it in the dark.

Found during the night cache. Lots of glow worms about

After lunch at Makara Peak, we visited Karori Cemetery to see a family grave and explore a bit more by doing the interesting multis here. It took a while and a bit of scrambling to find the grave, but the final was quick. Informative and entertaining writeup and well-presented final cache - such a pity that kjwx has moved onto other interests because this one of the types of caches we really enjoy.

Solved the clue a few months ago but came back to try the hunt again, quite easy once I found the right bridge.

I found the grave pretty easily but not the cache! Came very close to giving up and decided I had to go into the stream and then finally saw it. If I was less scared of spiders would have felt for it. No log book inside. TFTC

Tftc

Tftc

Found the help of a muggle friend. Great cache, including the sneaky container. Tftc.

Had a long walk around the graveyard doing this and the other multi and did not realise how big it is. Took a while to find the right GZ but soon had the right info and located the cache quite quickly. Interesting history lesson. TFTC

I had a bit of a disappointing day cache finding wise so I thought I'd go for this one as it was unplanned. Took a few wrong turns to actually find Thomas' resting place but soon got on track. A few moments and I had some coordinates that made sense. Made my way over but my GPS was pointing me away from the obvious location. Ignored the GPS and started my search and quickly found the cache, but there was one last trick to overcome. TFTC

Went to get this one between showers. Found the grave site without any problem. Shame about the state of the grave apart from the plaque. No problem getting the required information then on to the final. It was quite obvious where the container was and a quick grab yielded the goodies. Log is full but I will be back in the area in the near future so will add a new log. Otherwise all in order and we'll protected. TFTC

Luckily the final test was not too onerous because I've always been useless at real magic tricks A nice bit of history and an interesting back path through the cemetery TFTC

Restful wander around peaceful area in dead centre of Karori. Grave interesting read and quick find & reveal. GZ coords in theme by being dead reckoning, but hint led me straight to exhumation. Log is fitting touch! TFTC kjwx.

Log almost at end of life, with ½ line remaining.

Finding the grave wasn't too hard, but kept going down the wrong rows (1 more, 1 more). Finding the cache was another matter. GPS was useless and based on the hints there were a few possible places and I wasn't about to get my feet wet trying to cross the stream. Eventually, I noticed the cache poking out of its hiding spot. Unfortunately, an enormous (think 50c coin) spider had made its home in and out of the bag. Not a pleasant find. Dropped the cache out, killed the spider and did my best to clean out the mess of webs. Eventually, after all that, a good cache but I won't be doing that again!

Great cache logbook needs to be replacrd

Finding the grave, even with the coordinates, was much more difficult than we expected. We persevered though and were rewarded with the cache. A nice one-stage multi. TFTC!

Found the required information and found the cache quickly. Tftc love doing cemetary caches.

Fun cache in serene spot

Found easy enough - but the GPS is a bit patchy. Almost had to get my feet wet

Tricky but fun. Don't get your feet wet

Very tricky and lots of fun with MPSPhoenix

Should have just followed the compass as it really did lead is right to Mr Driver. Loved the extra 'in theme' twist for the log Tftc

I completed this while doing [Sepulchres Quest](http://coord.info/GC48PKD). There must be so much history tucked away in this cemetery: thanks for highlighting an interesting story.

Made an error on the location, but got close enough for the hint to get me the last few yards GPS was all but useless under the trees anyway. Three kaka were squawking at my antics from the trees above. All in good order. SL TFTC

Found it with my girlfriend while exploring our new neighborhood. GPS was not really accurate under the trees, but managed to find it. ^^ TFTC

Loved this multi it was so much fun, soon had the coordinates worked out and cache in hand. Many thanks for the time and effort put into this fun multi.

Nice walk with deonrocks and twistiedog. Interesting but of history hidden away there. Got our calculations wrong but 2 time lucky before the phone GPS died. TFTC

Out with BigCheeseNZ. GPS all over place at final GZ so used our caching intuition and located it. We also had a little bit of help from a local kitty cat - Monkey. She followed us around for hours while doing night cache (pic attached). TFTC and puzzle.

We took the long way to find this grave, but ended up there in the end. GPS was jumping around a lot at the final GZ, so we took an educated guess and - Hey Presto! TFTP&C

Cool cache! Nice puzzle, it's a shame the grave isn't in great shape . I didn't understand the hint but used my Geocacher's intuition to locate it. TFTC!

Did this one while doing Sepulchres Quest. Interesting, quick and easy. Had help from Monkey the cat who we meet previous while doing Night terrors, he helped us locate the cache : )

Found this one while working on Sepulchres Quest. Had some company from the local Cat Monkey. This was a fun and interesting cache. Thanks!

Interesting story. TFTC

Clearly some storm damage in the local area but cache unaffected and all in good order.

An interesting read and a quick find with TregearP. TNLNSL, TFTC.

#1628 First time in the cemetery in the daylight after completing half of the night cache earlier in the week. While we were in the area during the night I noticed how close we were to the posted coordinates for this cache and had a hunch where the final would be- today I discovered that hunch was right! An interesting wee multi highlighting a grave that I wouldn't have otherwise known about and a nice touch with the logbook container. TFTC!

Abracadabra and alakazam!! Used a bit of trickery and reappeared right at the grave site. Then managed to completely bamboozle myself in finding game zone. Did a down hill slide and a river tramp before reaching game zone. There I was able to redeem self and with sleight of hand both cache and log were in hand. Agree coords are 10-15m out but hint should get you there. Thanks for the cache. Amazing how sometimes people in New Zealand are not recognized until someone from elsewhere intervenes. Gets a favourite because I love magic.

Hello ,

I am having trouble with. Heypresto. Finally found the gave. The hard way!! And my co-ords are S41 16.546. and E174 44.982

Like the previous finder. That took me beyond the bridge. I mean the bridge just under the grave. That leads around and along the stream. A bush walk. I hunted under that Bridge on both ends. On both sides of the bridge and short of climbing under the bridge in the water. I couldn't find it. Can you give me any other hints. ie which end which side ??

I did find another bridge that leads up hill to more graves out in the open not in bush. checked that out too but that seemed along.way from my co-ords.

Thanks.
I am down in Wgtn until Friday.

#541. I am thinking of doing a multi streak and if so this is No.2. Time will tell time how far we get on it. Home life is a bit hectic this weekend. Have been to this part of the cemetery quite a few times but never seen this grave before. Quickly acquired the correct numbers and got the checksum to match. Loaded the coordinates and off to find the final. I passed something that seemed like the hint object but it was still 15m from the final. Oh well, have a look. And sure enough there was the cache in its camo bag. Signed log and away. TFTC and the fascinating story about this magical man.

We made this a lot harder than necessary - took the straight route down from the road, but that was certainly the hardest way to get there.... when we found the grave it was magic to see the memorial.

Went through the questions, came up with a waypoint nearby, but no cache. Time was passing, so with a check of the hint and some logic, a quick search around 30m from where we calculated came up with the bag...

Thanks for sowing us the story of a part of our history.

Thanks for bringing me to this grave in its out-of-the-way location. Would never have known about it and its fascinating inhabitant otherwise. TFTC

Cache # 2,282 - It took a fair bit of magic just to materialise at the proper grave site, but did so successfully with Astro Hunter and Violet Butterfly - well mostly successfully. The coordinates were so good we came far closer to meeting the dearly departed magician in the flesh than we would have cared. A bit of digital trickery and we were off to find the cache. +/- 13 metres is more like it today, so had to rely on our ESP abilities to ferret out the prize - and we did. Well done cache. Thank you!
Grabbed the trackable.

Did today with The Wandering Dragons and Astro Hunter. Slick!

Cache # 891

Found today by sleight of hand with two other cachers, both of whom were my lovely assistants. No, there's nothing behind that curtain! Thanks.

Cache # 366

Found everything all good and cache in good order! Thanks

Found the grave after a short walk, quickly worked out the final location for a quick find and sign, TFTC Really enjoyed having a look around here, I'd never been here before!

Solved this multi while walking around the grave yard doing Sepulchres Quest. Quick find and dropped off a trackable. TFTM

Passing through Karori today and I couldn't resist attempting one more multi, as I seem to be obsessed with them at the moment. Hadn't visited this cemetery since I was very little. Very atmospheric at the grave in question, almost feels like a place that time has forgotten. Had no trouble with the questions, though I took longer to get to the final than I would like to admit, but once in the right area it was a quick find. TFTC, I will be back here to get the other caches in the vicinity.

Took a while to find the grave, as the GPSr didn't seem to know which way I was going. Easily solved the final coordinates once there, though I ended up finding the final from the hint.

It's fantastic that these memories from Wellington's past are remembered! And I learned a new word!

Out for a walk around this vest cemetry. This one took us through a maze of trails before we spotted the magic man. TFTC. #270

Was just pulling the rabbit out the hat when, hey presto, Yosser9 appeared out of thin air! The geo-hound had tracked us down, despite our assumed cloak of invisibility. Tftc. Fun

#713 who would have known. TFTC

TFTC. This cache was an interesting adventure and a great story. I enjoyed the entire activity from finding my way to the cache to finding my way to GZ and then hunting for the cache.
A lovely snipit of local history.
A favourite vote from me.
Thanks kjwx for placing this great multi.
#3471

Satisfying find with a twist.

No kids sports or other activities so decided to go out and collect a few caches - always surprised that someone actually knows these spots exist. Thanks for sharing this, puzzle duly completed and paperwork signed. Gets a favourite, TFTC, #6474

Cool little cache

Nice clever puzzle that covers a bit of interesting history. Had tried this one a night once but couldn't work out the final location mainly due to the trees and torch light. Today however I made a fresh assult on it and got the correct answers and found the final nice & easy this time. TFTP worth a FAV

first time walking round here. interesting area. took a bit finding with GPS implying further on. Found with Selesi. TFTC

Managed to conjour up the final with UlmusLynx This place is a real rabbits warren TFTC

Find #1816. On a random walk via a section of the Skyline walk to collect a few more caches on a picture perfect day in Wellington. Very quiet in the cemetery today - quite restful really and nice to visit to get away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Finding the final was more by touch than sight so thankfully there were no creepy crawlies lurking. SL TFTC

Sorry for the very late log- I was looking through my unfound caches to find something to do today and was surprised to find that this was on the list as I had already done it! I guess it is appropriate that an online log for this has disappeared into thin air (no log deletion notices etc) but I suspect that I just forgot to log it.


Returned to the cache today 14 September to check the log date which confirmed that I found it on 23 January.

So very belated TFTC!

Out and about Saturday caching. Keen to deal to some Wellington caches that have been on the 'to do' list for a little bit of time.
We enjoyed this straightforward multi and the historical insight that it provided. Also for us a first visit to this particular cemetery. Up until now we've been stuck at Bolton Street dealing with multis there.
Neat cache though, in many ways.
Cache find was straightforward at the final, although we found our coords to initially be some way off - but think it may be due to tree cover. Pays to be circumspect. Log signed, cache then safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with Team Cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Also found this one. Another interesting grave and story. TFTC. Sherlock Hood.

• Cache #26

Now this was a bit of fun.
First attempted this cache on the 23/11/13 close to midnight, nice night for it as well.
After successfully locating Mr Drivers resting place and getting some good numbers, it all begun to go wrong from this point.
We were completely disoriented, did not know where NSE or W was (still need to learn how to use this GPS), I put ourselves on a wild goose chase going around in circles 150+ meters away from GZ at times, sometimes my GPS told us we were walking east yet we were walking west.

Monkey the Cat joined in on the fun.

Went back to the stairs close to Mr Drivers stone and recalculated using the check-sum in hint, all good.
We were so close to GZ but it was pitch black.
So I decided to walk straight to GZ on my own and then, thump!, took a fall and scraped my arm.
Team members asked if I was okay? - 'Yeah I'm good!', then Monkey the Cat started hissing at something. (BTW I only got 2 scratches not 3)
Okay, time to leave this for tomorrow before dusk for safety reasons.
As we left Monkey the Cat escorted us as far as 100 meters before the gates.

Thanks Monkey! (What a great cat!)

2nd attempt: 24/11/13
Got to Karori cemetery and realized I left GPS at my brothers house in Porirua (Grr)

3rd attempt: 25/11/13
Wow things look so different in day time!
We had to laugh at how close we were to GZ.
Cache extracted back to Mr Drivers stone. We weeded around and cleaned up the stone in respect.
Logged and returned the cache.

Took a walk on the track, was a very nice area to visit.

TFTC kjwx, and as always ~ Happy Hunting!

Easy going once we how to get to the GZ. TFTC.

Loved it. Took us a While to find the GZ but from there was a pretty quick " slight of hand" to the finale.
Monkey the cat came along for a wander to.

Good fun multi-cache and soon had some good numbers
Cache container found easily with the hint

SL TFTC
