Archiving following request from one of the placers.

Checked out today in passing and the site has been well compromised with recent road works. Cache AWOL so needs archiving. Will check an alternative for owner but don't hold out much hope for similar concealment at present.

Will try again soon.

could not find it as council workers nearby watching we left it till another time.. will be back

Too hard for me gps says in the middle of the road

Now that's a cool cache!!!!!!

One must always be careful of those killer white rabbits! Thanks to Bkj97 for the maintenance upkeep on this one.......happy hunting.

New container in place. Rode in on my golden steed waving my broadsword to disperse the little white rabbits. ( apologies to Monty Python and the search for the holy grail) cache is inserted and glued so keep its armour intact and replace carefully as found.

Rats are back on board .....

Did.t read the logs before looking. can this be disabled if there is nothing to find

Have the rats deserted this ship?

After numerous visits I will log a DNF. Have been very conscious about the camera on corner that looks over this area so haven't wanted to spend too long searching and attracting unwanted attention. Did find a small empty brown container with no contents. If this had been the cache, then unfortunately its been muggled. If not will try again after its been found by another cacher as there have been no found logs for over 2 months. TFTC placement and I hope to find it soon.

Cache was destroyed during a major storm. Will be back in action mid January. Perhaps CO can temporarily disable it. Sorry Clippie for any inconvenience experienced.

Day 2 of our Mega roadtrip to Auckland. A Great camo job but Mums eagle eyes spotted it quickly.
[red] +1 favourite point from us [/red] Thanks for the extra effort. [:d]

[green]Cache of the Day: 15/40 [/green] | [blue]Cache of the Mega: 46/416 [/blue] | [purple]Our cache find: #1838[/purple]

A great cache. Very clever. Had to avoid the driving muggles but we got it eventually. TFTC.

A great find on a nice day. Took as a little bit but we got there. High muggle area. Found with KateNZ

Well only took the one visit. Took about a minute to spot. Love it when that happens. Cheers and TFTC.

Had "The" Keyring with me today as well

Yea, this one is good......nah it's great! Very, very clever. My second visit and this time I was able to spot the well crafted hide. One of my favourite hides - well done CO.

The 'found this container on Paraparaumu Beach' in the cache description threw me off as I was looking for something you would typically find at the beach. The cache container isn't the first thing I'd think of when I'm at the beach but nevertheless I'm super glad for the find.

TFTC +FP

Although we have never logged a DNF here, I must confess to this being our fifth or sixth visit. This had become something of a nemesis-cache so it was a big relief today when the penny finally dropped. Very nicely done and thanks for the cache. A favourite point for a worthy opponent!

FINALLY!!! Me and Jimbob senior have been looking for this one for months. This was probably our tenth visit! This was a very enjoyable cache once found, very clever! TFTC

This was our favourite find of the day. We looked all around where you might normally find a cache....nothing. Did a sigh and looked in the opposite direction to where your eyes normally go geocaching and waddaya know, it was there watching us the whole time! First find like this we've seen - have given it a fav point, thanks!

Well camouflaged took a while but well worth persevering. TFTC

Took a wee while..... But two heads are better than one, with my geomate ... Success at last

Couldn't spot this one today. TFTS

Seen this type of hide before but very much liked the twist on this one. Worthy of a favourite point. TFTC

Cute!

third visit despite even knowing what the appearance of the cache was. My Gps repeatedly took me away from the hide and mislead me into the wrong 'area'. finally I managed to think a little more diversely and hey!! thanks A fav point from me

A great hide, we really enjoyed this one, and well worth a favorite point.

TFTC

What a fantastic cache!

brilliant... just love that cache container .. very cheeky;-) first for the day after escaping from the ferry and hitting the road jack. thanks

No sign of the holy grail. TFTC

I enjoyed this hide. I was sure I'd find one like this one day. TFTC

Found after a long search, nice hide. TFTC

TFTC

Yay found it on the 2nd attempt- nearly gave up when I had a sudden urge to look in a different direction . Very cool hide TFTC

See taybee log TFTC log By GSAk

last for the day as we had time for this one before going back to Wellington was a good spot for the cache jr taybee had same fun at GZ putting the cache back TFTC

#4091. Took quite a bit of searching, including widening the area. In the end, after surveying the area from a little distance away, returned to GZ for a different approach. There it was. Cache in excellent condition. TNLNSL. TFTC.

We failed to find this cache, despite its having being replaced recently.

A quick find TFTC D-R & bkj97

New container and dry log in place. Ready to be enabled by owner.

Just happened to be nearby as container was being replaced. Too good an opportunity to miss. Nice. T4TCSL

Thanks to bkj97 new container and log in place. Happy hunting.....

Log book repair on the way. Will enable again soon.

Will fix log later this week. Will request owner temporarily disables until repaired.

Find #1506. Found while enjoying a bike ride on the Kapiti Coast in lovely autumn weather. Tried all the obvious and not-so-obvious places for this one before standing on gz .... and there it was. BUT - the 'container' was riddled with bugs and the log book saturated and disintegrating in my hands. Clever hide but definitely needs a drier option. Just SL, TFTC.

Called here while in the area this afternoon. Wasn't quite sure what I should be looking for, so I methodically eliminated quite a few possibilities before I finally spotted it. The logsheet has very little protection and it was pretty damp - I could write on it but quite a few other finders' entries were no longer readable. Took a photo of cache and log to use as supporting evidence if necessary. Thanks for a nicely thought out cache, all it needs is a waterproof logsheet container and it'll be a fantastic one!

Quick find as I again had an idea what I was looking for - I note the log will likely get wet in its current condition. TFTC

3.00pm. Caim earlier in the week but a campervan wasparked at GZ so I had to leave it. Took a few minutes to find and then got it as I just about exhausted all the likely spots.
A favourite point from me for the camo.
Thank you. David.

Found it with Matatuana & Paisynsmummy. Fab hide - the coolest I have seen so far. My third attempt at picking up this one - finally it clicked and the cache was in hand.

Our last cache for the day and could not lay our hands on this one. Felt as though it was looking at us, but no luck today. Will try another day

Found with -tink- and matatuana, best friggin hide EVER!! This was my 3rd attempt!

Found with -tink- and PaisynsMummy TFTC

Now this one took me some time but got there in the end, isn't it amazing how out of the corner eye you spot something thats not quite right

TFTC

Quick find,Awesome hide.
Unfortunately I couldnt sign log as it was soaked but took a photo of cache/log etc as proof if owner requires.

Log book soaked.Needs new log/container to fix this problem in the future

Nice find after a short search. Not sure how long the log will last if we get some rain as one end is open.

SL TFTC

First DNF for the day

Very clever cache and took a while to find. Did with Mycro Man. Thanks for the clever cache and hide.

Did with CrystalFairy

FTF just after 9am. A quick detour back to the cache & found after a short scan of the area. Enjoyed the hide. Had to rush to get to some appts & only now had time to log. Tftc, a great buzz for the day
