Considering it's a one star which is accessible by wheel chair I couldn't find it
Maiya found it, no pen so couldn't write it down. 20/7/2017. Very clever hiding stop
Magic. Took a while and then found. The clue made no sense until we found the cache. Fantastic camo. I should have known what the clue meant. All good here. TFTC
That's a new one using the 'what's in plain sight concept' Well done Hope the CITO ones among us don't make a mistake and do a clean-up TFTC
Strolling along the beachfront and popped up to grab this one. Signed and replaced. All in good order. Tftc.
Visiting the Kapiti Coast for a HUHA Paws in the Park event at the Queen Elizabeth Park, followed by coffee in the village. I was having so much fun that I almost forgot that I needed to find a cache today to fill in a blank on my calendar. This was not the closest, but it was going to be the easiest. In fact, it was so easy that my novice geocaching companion had located it before I reached the spot. Excellent work! A very nicely done hide. Tftc!
The hint only meant one thing to me and I thought it could not possibly be related to a geocache but it was! Might be a bit over-spec'd for this purpose. TFTC.
I'd planned to spend some time in Paraparaumu collecting a few caches, but as I headed up the coast the weather got steadily worse until I found myself looking for a quick park-and-grab so that I could maintain my streak and go home. This was it!
Getting to the hall was simple enough. I thought I knew what the hint referred to, but I couldn't see how it related to where I was. As I approached GZ, though, everything became clear and I quickly signed the log and beat a retreat back to the car and out of the rain.

Logged with GCDroid. This one had me going in circles but not your fault - battery starting to fail so need to replace back in car once cache located. Then I has an ahh moment and yes it was the cache in such a beaut location by the sea
Plenty of dog walking muggles out and about on a Saturday afternoon but caught a quick break to grab the cache. Nice clue, tftc!
Another great camo! Very appropriate, too, after such a stormy week. Exchanged pleasantries with dog-walking muggles while admiring the view. An FP from me. TFTC
Very cool, not to hard, we did it while waiting for a friend. Really like how is hidden/setup.
Meeting family and friends for brunch and running a little early so time for a couple of caches while we wait.
Quick find at GZ. Thanks for the placement with a great ocean view.

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.
2mat1 wanted to take a bath in the ocean while I went for the nearest csche. Cold water and a good found. Greetingd from Norway. TFTC
We took a break and enjoyed the view to the beach after we found the nicely hidden cache

[green] On my way to Palmerston North for Christmas, and caching along the way. An awesome day to be out and about.
Nice easy find. dropped in an emerald.

The annual school picnic gave us an opportunity to drive up and pick up a few caches. This was the first one to to be visited. Took a moment until the hint clicked and then it was found without any problems. No muggles out on the beach this afternoon as conditions weren't all that pleasant. TFTC.
Easy find - replacing it with all the muggles a different matter! Very hazy today - can barely see Kapiti Island. TFTC.
We had collected the required info for Campbell Park, but there was someone sitting near the final.
Decided we would wander off and find this one in the hope they would leave.
I knew what the hint referred to, but was still surprised at the implementation.

I hadn't looked up the meaning of the hint, I thought it might be something different but found the cache anyway and looked the meaning up later!
Enjoyed a stroll down here from the Paekakariki School cache and then along Beach Road afterwards, great view above Memorial Hall - photo attached.

Thanks for placing the cache. Why do d1t1 caches sometimes seem to be harder than they appear. It definitely is a d1t1. I just made it harder than it needed to be.
A beautiful sunny Saturday for a geo-road trip with Kjwx, and this was our first cache after travelling from Wellington. We were muggled by a passing cacher with her hound. An unusual cache, but we made a quick find. TFTC
#1097. Finally, a cache I can find after two DNF's. Nicely placed. Wasn't the first place I checked but once the GPS settled the coordinates were accurate. Interesting hide. Guess its not going anywhere. TFTC
Thanks for our first geocache. My biys now want one with real treasure so off for swag. Pirate family.
Quick find. Nearly spoiled my afternoon by dropping GPS into the long grass, a frantic scrabble to retrieve it TFTC.
I can tell you where the cache is not - it is not under the water meter cover that the GPS was telling me to go to. Hmm, a bit of a leak and sqishy underfoot. Once I got my bearings sorted it was a quick find - yep, it's not going to go away in a hurry. TFTC
Couldnt see anything wrong with this cache today when I checked on it so am re-enabling it.
Soon found, complete with new log book. I can see that this cache is determined to stay put. TFTC
Heading off for a six day sortie though the lower North Island with the primary reason being to pick up the CANZ caches we need to complete the North Island half of the challenge.
Heading north again after a couple of days in Wellington. Mr S found this one. Did not realise it was disabled but cache was okay. Nice swell rolling in from the north west but bet it can blast in at times.
Thanks Mattox69. Another smilie face on the road to New Plymouth.

Awesome camo, unfortunately there was no lid and the log sheet has gone, would have left a replacement log but couldn’t find anything to keep it secured properly, may pay for the owner to check, many thanks.
cool I like it and it won't blow away in its cool container. I have never driven down this road before good to see new stuff. tdtc
Found while out on a geocaching bike ride. Leaning my bike here was a good way to cover furtive activities. Another neat hide, thanks Mattox69.
Easy find after walking the Te Araroa Paekakariki to Plimmerton walkway, on my way to meet the ferry just after lunch. Thanks for the cache.
Nice quick find, during a raid on Kapiti coast today.
A few people in the vicinity, but managed to get a break between muggles and make a quick find. The cache holder is not out of place in this location, that's for sure.
TFTC!

A beautiful balmy morning and collecting a few caches in the area. TFTC Mattox 69, #7261
Had a couple of goes at this one as I walked past a few times, always looking in the wrong place. I had to laugh at myself when I found it...
