Bin It (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By cabhassett on 20-Oct-13. Waypoint GC4QHP0

The area has become very busy.

Currently away, will check on our return home.

Couldn't find this one. Hope it really still there.

It's been awhile since this is last found.
Did a good search but not very lucky.. I am, however wondering if the cache might be lost?

TFTC, good find

TFTC

After a visit to the clothing bin, xo^8 noticed there was a cache to find here. Took a minute or to to spot but got it. TFTC!!!

Sunday afternoon... we got rid of some old clothes and instinctively I’ve grabbed my phone to check if there’s a cache near by. And yes, I was right.
Was easy one to find for FMZ and I.
TFTC

Over on the North Shore today grabbing some caches with my son 2FLYTim . . . . . mostly a successful day today. Well this one had us going for a bit and I checked everywhere I though it should be . . . . . just couldn't get down low enough and Tim made the find by standing back and looking and there it was lying on the ground underneath. We signed and returned it as it should be. TFTC

Out caching with Mum (SethRaven) today making the most of this great day! We hunted for a bit and then I spied it on the ground - we signed and "stuck" it back. TFTC

Tftc

Very well hidden! TFTC

Caching with TheMexiKiwi and made this one our next stop for the day.

Took a couple of sweeps to find it, but that was more due to a lazy look than anything. Once we felt around a little more the cache was soon in hand.

TFTC

Sneaky hide! TFTC

Got it. Our first one.

Full of ants but made the find. TFTC!

Thank you! This one is local to us and we've been looking on and off for ages.

Think this one has gone

Tricky

Was in the area so stopped here for a nice quick find. TFTC

Kinda found wasn't any give aways
J@L

We found it J@L

Found it after a bit of a hunt and a look at the hint. Definitely a challenge dodging the eyes of the muggles! TFTC

Great end to the day. It definitely took us longer than it should have but there were Muggles everywhere. TFTC

Arrived just as school letting out so had to go and come back TFTCThanks to clue.

Mum had a bit of time spare after allowing way too much time for Auckland traffic in the school holidays. She parked a wee way from her work appointment and looked to see if there were any caches close. There were 3, but Bin It looked perfect in work clothes!... there was just one (bus-sized) problem that she could see from her park. She waited, then moved a little closer (checking out where the hint may be), then waited some more... finally she decided to just grab it, hoping the driver would pay no attention... as she pulled up next to GZ another car pulled in behind her... Mum gave up and drove off, as she passed the bus it indicated and pulled out behind her!!! Arrghhhh! U-turn and back to look - with no muggles there!!! Found easily and off to work (after a 45min stake-out!!!)

Can’t locate well hidden

After awhile searching finally found it.

Last few finds of the year.

Seems very well hidden....

Yay! Good easy find as directed. Our first Geocache. Exciting start.

Good easy find. Yay.

Bicycling trip again. The standard trip is over Torbay now, after
having mostly emptied Browns Bay for caches

One cache per trip, at the turning point gives the smileys on the map
some extra significance. We will see how it goes.

Nice find,

Tftc.

Yay

This Cache was a tricky one to find. We looked for it a few months ago but then realised that the bins had been changed since they hid it. But finally found it now after a few minutes of searching

Tricky
Note to self(remember to check hints and description) lol

Weather was terrible so no one in sight to worry about. After a quick feel around i found it.Was able to park up right next to area so i quickly filled out logbook in car then returned it without anyone seeing.Paper still 100%dry. Thanks

Replaced the cache today.

Is it still there..?

Dnf.

? Gone?
Couldn't find:-(

Spent about 5min searching under and in and on... no luck!

Had to wait till it was dark to get it, but was an easy find

Took a little longer than I expected to locate and sign this one. Fortunately it was a quiet time of day. TFTC

Took a but of hunting but we found it !

Easy find

Easy find on a monday evening. No problem in the dark, went by feel anyway...

Just as well Jag50 searched where I had already searched as I missed it but he found it! Whew, very relieved after having a dnf down the road.

After a previous two DNF's listed for this cache and our earlier efforts in the morning having a couple of DNF's elsewhere we were unsure that we would capture this one. Fortunately a revisit by one of us had the cache.

Out doing a walk from Long Bay to Campbell's Bay with Merlot58 and Jag50 getting caches along the way. Luckily Jag50 were thorough in their search, as we were afraid we would have to follow the previous finders and log a DNF

No luck today, quick look in this high muggle traffic area

Thought we had a good grope but maybe not??

Quick park and grab, no muggles about in the middle of the day. TFTC

I have been meaning to get this one for a while. I drive past it everyday. Every time I try there is someone in the way either selling strawberries, dropping off clothes, dropping off kids or a bus in the bus stop. I took the geodog for a walk and saw the sign was clear. TFTC

Good quick find thanks ! Seen one in a similar type of spot in Botany area !
Shame I didn't bring my box of cast offs today ....
Lucky it is well after school hours !

I think this one might of been stolen, did not seem to find it and the difficulty level was low.

Bin It!
fine' it,
see' it
foun' it,
sign' it,
dun' it!!

Took but got right down to it in the end

Not the most luxurious place, and definately not accessible during school pick up time, but found the cache eventually after feeling around. -always the last place you look right?!

tftc! first day caching

Tech ☺

Took us a little while but we got there!

The end of 2015 saw us take on a big couple of days of caching. At the beginning of the year, we set a goal of reaching 4000 cache finds by the end of the year. Towards the end of 2015, it wasn't looking too promising as geocaching got put a bit on the backburner for us as life and things happened. Come the 31st Dec 2015 and still needing a good portion of finds, New Year's Eve called for some binge caching in th North Shore to reach that milestone!

This was our first find of the day, and a nice and quick find at GZ. Soon replaced the cache after retrieval, and back on our way. Thanks for the hide!

Tftc! This was my third cache visiting New Zealand from Sweden.

#10526. There were an impressive collection of bins at GZ, and it took a bit of searching to locate the cache. TFTC.

We had a noon lunch appointment in Okura so decided to have a drive to Long Bay first as we had never been there before.
This wasn't an instant find, but after a bit of groping, found it in the last place I looked. On the way back, there were several cars parked here - not binning it but to buy some strawberries from the stall that had set up nearby. Luckily we had looked for this on the drive in. TFTC.

I took a run at this one a couple of years ago and had to log a DNF. A bit wiser and a bit more cunning, I returned to make a quick grab and sign. My "tying the shoelaces" cover worked a treat for the few muggles who were wandering about at the time. TFTC! NINO.

Quick find when visiting from Scotland. Thank you

Took about 2 minutes very clever

Nice easy one while out quoting for work

couldn't find. does anyone know if it's still there?

Out and about for a spot of caching on the shore this afternoon. This was a most convenient park'n'grab. Parked up at GZ and got straight to searching. Ended up being a very quick find. Cheers for the cache placement!

Out collecting a couple of caches Scotty has had a little trouble with. Kiwi immediately located the hide which Scotty profusely swears was not in that spot on her previous visit.

Nice and easy especially out of school hours.

We weren't sure if this one would be easy to find after reading a couple of previous dnf's, but we didn't have any problems today. MrNZT did the honours here and the log was quickly singed and cache returned. Thanks for the cache.

Quick find for us so cache is definitely there. Log was full so added a new log to the cache TFTC.

Grumpy GC Scottie ( having slipped down an embankment at previous cache ) was destined to fail here. Looked high and low but to no avail. I would like to think it has been muggled but it could all just be a frame of mind, will keep an eye on it to see if there is success.

Spent about 20 minutes going around these bins, feeling everywhere. Couldn't find it? Just me, or has it been muggled?

I missed the cache on the first pass, so I did a 360 search only to end up back at the right spot. After I left, I saw another cacher pull up. No, it was just someone donating clothing. TFTC.

It was dido kilt but we found it

Thanks. 2nd ever find. Really appreciate the hint!

Quick find thx to clue. These bins are rather impressive structures!
Thx for the hide!!

Not too much rubish here today which is good. TFTC

Found it! How low can you go, stealing from a clothing bin?

Due to an event being held at Long Bay today, yorkshirekiwi83 and I spent the day caching between Browns Bay and Long Bay. This was our first find of the day and we were glad that it wasn't hidden in behind all the rubbish that people seem to dump at these bins! TFTC!

Spent the day caching with Vistra, we were heading to an event in the area so decided to take the opportunity to grab as many as we could from within the area. We stopped by this one for our first for the day, actually over looked it first pass but soon had the cache in hand. TFTC

Been here once before but there was a fruit stall set up at GZ, no such problem today though.

TFTC

Visiting the COs from the UK so would have been extremely rude not to have picked this one up now wouldn't it ?! TFTC

Last cache of the day after a fantastic walk along Long Bay's Nature Trail.
This one was quite easy and made me smile!
TFTC & cheers from Germany!

Found on Nov 24th but accidentally logged wrong cache. Have now found both & returned to this one with pen to write in log. Thanks!

Found, with bonus muggles selling strawberries

We arrived at GZ and there was a muggle dropping off some clothes. Well done muggle! So we headed over to the nearby girls selling strawberries, one punnet purchased to enjoy when we get back to the house. In the mean time charity muggle had headed off. I soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC #315

Easy find on the way for a walk.

Second attempt, still unable to find
