Great cache. Had us stumped and just as we were about to give up we found it. Great camo. TFTC
 
17-May-16
What a fantastic camo job! Would give this 2 FPs if we could! TFTC! Smile
 
10-Apr-16
Clever camo but we are getting better at this and found it within seconds. Had googled the hint last night but forgotten what my search had told me, so glad we didn't need it. TFTC
 
26-Mar-16
Genius hide, we almost gave up but perseverance paid off
 
25-Mar-16
Miss 10 found this one after i'd overlooked it. Cool camo. TFTC
 
12-Mar-16
Gets a favourite point from us for the camo. Googling the hint helped.
 
20-Feb-16
We searched high and low for ages. We were just about to give up, when Mr Team Benny came up with the goods! Great hide TFTC !!
 
20-Feb-16
Great work on this one. Had us stumped for a while until we googled the clue then Mr beconaze had the aha moment and spotted it. FP for the fabulous camo
 
15-Feb-16
Trying to fit in this cache before netball practice but we didn't manage to find it in the 4 minutes we had. Intrigued so coming back soon.
 
25-Jan-16
Tftc. What an excellent disguise. Gets a fav point from me.

Sneaky cache
just remember to tie your shoe

Found this on 26.12.15 with Auckland Reindeer, but after logging on my phone, it didn't save, so relogging. Great to discover this walkway. We enjoyed the walk and must have another go some day. Quite a few mugs out today so it took a little while to retrieve. I liked the clues for this one. We quickly realised what we were looking for and found it without too much trouble. Great hide!
 
26-Dec-15
I knew what we were looking for after listening to a previous finder talking about this cache, but we found so many of them. We tried all sorts of extraction methods up and down the walkway, but in the end it was found simply by Mrs chrisandmum.

Just after retrieval, some muggles came strolling along, so we gave master chrisandmum a wee nature lesson as they passed before signing the log and replacing the cache, once we found where it needed to be returned to.
 
23-Dec-15
I love this kind of ones. Well done
 
14-Dec-15
Pretty sure of what I was looking for, found a few of them in Europe, but nothing found despite extending the search area.
 
25-Nov-15
Awesome!!! Very sneaky UncleBoris.
 
16-Nov-15
Thanks Uncle Boris for an interesting boardwalk. One cyclist was concerned with me sitting down on the planks, but I convinced him all was OK ( I think)
 
10-Oct-15
Had to google the clue, and then test everything! Very cool
 
27-Sep-15
I thought of a few possibile hides that could be appropriate to this area.. but this cache wasn't one of them. Not that I havn't seen them before.. but it's always a surprise to find them because they blend in so well. I too had to google for a clue.
 
25-Sep-15
The hint was very useful and so it did not take long to spot the clever hide. TFTC!
 
25-Sep-15
The logbook is full.
 
25-Sep-15
new log added
 
06-Sep-15
What a crafty hide! Hint certainly was useful. Log almost full. TFTC Gets a fave from us Smile

Nice walk to the cache - good hint and soon had the container in hand. SL TFTC
 
11-Jun-15
That was awesome!! And a brilliant clue as well. Nice camo TFTC
 
01-Jun-15
Had just done Dutch Apple Pie with keylev, so we decided to wander along to this one for me to find, as keylev had already found it. Got to GZ and began the search... and as I hadn't googled the hint, I had no idea what I was looking for, I just knew that keylev had hinted that it was a clever hide. She stood there and tried not to laugh at me for a bit while I searched, with comments like "you've walked past it twice" (or something to that effect) "you're looking right at it" and "you just touched it!", and so the penny finally dropped and I made the find. Very clever, this one! Appreciate the effort put into this cache. Thanks UncleBoris!
 
16-Apr-15
After my work meetings were done for the day I had time to go and find a few caches. Nice one! Coordinates spot on and only one place to search really. I had my hand on the cache nice and quick here. TFTC, Biggles.
 
04-Apr-15
Once we had sorted out the hint we quickly had the cache in hand. Great hide. TFTC
 
13-Mar-15
Wwow best one I did so far! Awesome find, so much effort put into it and what a cool hint! Loved it loved it loved it! TFTC! Very Happy

What a cool hide! Glad we googled the hint!!
 
01-Mar-15
Very cool camo!!
 
28-Feb-15
Wow what a clever cache. Best one we hv found so far. Nearly gave up and it was starting
to get a bit dark, we had one last search and there it was! Not too many muggles abt on such a lovely night.
 
31-Jan-15
Brilliant hide. Took us a little while, lucky not to many muggles out today. TFTC
 
30-Jan-15
What a great piece of creation well done TFTC
 
01-Jan-15
Great cache, certainly a lot of effort put into this one.

Great cache for our first find of 2015! Saw the DNF's but took heart from the recent find. TFTC.
 
28-Dec-14
Originally logged and found whilst out with mum (keylev) but now have own account so logging all finds I was present at and helped with.

Thanks for the cache.

Was in the general vicinity and decided to get one last cache for the day. Had looked this one up last night as I needed one more 'other' cache to finish the licence challenge I am working on. As I had no clue what the hint meant and other finders had googled it I did so last night and knew what we would be looking for.

Mr 4 made the find and had the biggest smile on his face - it was awesome to see. Had signed log and was just returning when we heard voices behind us - almost got muggled by the golfers on the other side of the fence.

Thanks for the great cache and for bringing us here.

Out caching with Lycurgon. TFTC

A quick find after Reveurs googled the clue. TFTC.
 
12-Dec-14
Spent a few minutes searching before deciding to Google the hint. Once I worked it out I quickly found the cache Smile TFTC
 
20-Nov-14
Had more luck finding golf balls than finding the cache, nonetheless still fun looking. I'll be back!
 
09-Nov-14
Reading through the logs I was looking for that something unusual... when I suggested to Mr P he look more carefully and what about that; touched the hide and found the cache. T4tc
 
16-May-14
Not much time lately to go out for some caching. New business is slurping all my time. Want to at least fill my gaps and this one was an unexpected great one to do. Happy to go for a walk with the doggies and hubby found it eventually. Thanks uncleboris, great camo
 
15-May-14
A quick walk in the park at lunchtime and this was soon in hand with a couple of golfers in the distance wondering what that strange person was up to

TFTC
 
13-Apr-14
I spent some time looking around, but came up empty. As I felt around, I determined that something was amiss and it was the cache. TFTC.
 
06-Apr-14
Saw something that was a little unusual and upon investigating it a bit further soon had the cache in hand.

Cheers for the cache.
 
21-Mar-14
A great morning for a walk today before it got too hot and what a bonus to find this well disguised little cache. Wasp nests still there but occupants very inactive in the deep shade. TFTC
 
16-Mar-14
Thankfully our two dogs, were a good excuse for why we were there. Touched it once, thought yeah nah, then went back and found it.
 
09-Mar-14
Looked twice, found 2 active wasp nests, but no cache. Unsure what side the check as gap was bouncing around.
 
22-Feb-14
Quickly spotted the likely hide, but it took a moment longer to prove it, very nicely done.

TFTC
 
21-Feb-14
YAY our 150th!!!! And a very very clever cache with some work involved by the CO to implement. TFTC
 
30-Jan-14
Nice camo that blended in nicely. Thanks for the extra effort with the cache placement.
 
15-Jan-14
Found after a bit of jiggery-pokery as the skies were darkening. Thank goodness for my head-torch Watch out for the wasp nest nearby. TFTC.
 
04-Jan-14
Went for a bike ride today to do some local caches.
Easy find on this cool hide.
TFTC
 
04-Jan-14
Mum and Dad went looking for this one today. A lonely runner passed them on their approach to GZ, and they didn't see another muggle in the entire time on the path.
The cache was well hidden, but didn't fool Dad. He spotted it when he inspected the camo closely, and sure enough came up with the cache.
A favourite point from us - we love these sort of caches that take a lot of thought and ingenuity.
 
02-Jan-14
Had a free hour so popped out for a couple of caches. Enjoyed a stroll to GZ and immediately spotted the hide. Took a few minutes to figure out how to extract the log. Looked at the hint (plus a google search)...but I have been trying that...oh, not hard enough obviously. A nice effort on the camo here. Cheers for the cache placement!
 
01-Jan-14
Took us a while, re-read the logs, the clue and finally a quick google. Bingo. Tftc

The first visit without using the clue was a DNF after about 10 to 15 minutes of searching before I needed to head off. The second visit this afternoon with the clue was a very quick easy find. A great cacheUncle Boris!

I wonder how it would be without the clue and ask pervious finders not to respond to PAF. I reckon you would get a heap of DNF,s.

Per my private emails to you, you picked a site I was going to use, but man, what a great cache to take this space.

13949... A very cool hint, well done Uncle Boris, TFTC.
 
24-Dec-13
Out for a nice early Xmas Eve walk so stopped to grab this cache. Nobody about other than a solo tui eating flax seeds nearby. Made a quick find.

TFTC! Smile
 
22-Dec-13
Found it, thanks for the Cache!

Looking for a place to drop a trackable, not this one (go to prickly one).Thankfully had a good idea of what to look for from the hint, even then it took a while of staring right at it. Nice hide! With Markgeostar and Canine companion.
 
21-Dec-13
Very clever - spoke to some golfers

Nice hide. Quick find as clue made it easy. TFTC

Always enjoy an UncleBoris cache so while i was in the area collecting a few caches, i headed over to this one. Enjoyed the walk to GZ and spent a few minutes trying to track this one down. Spotted a couple of wasp nests close to the cache so future finders will need to watch out for these! Cache found in a place id checked a couple of times but not well enough. Another nicely executed hide UncleBoris! Always a pleasure finding your caches! Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

After a day caching out East, we stopped by this cache on our way home. After a quick check of the hint, the cache was quickly found. A very nice hide - favourite point added! TFTC!

Out for a morning walk with caching buddy Josie, and we decided to take a small detour to grab this cache. Thanks.
 
23-Nov-13
Seen this sort of hide before, so it didn't take us long to figure it out. However, it still gets a favourite from us for the cunning camo. TFTC !!!
 
18-Nov-13
Thought I would stop off after my boot camp for a quick find...I should have know that Uncle Boris' caches are not quick finds.

Oh My Goodness....I must have touched the cache at least 3 times before I found it.

Thanks again for another awesome cache. Gets a fav point from me.

Cheers
 
17-Nov-13
Came out all prepared for this one "knowing" what we should be looking for, took us a bit longer than expected but found it in the end. Excellent Camo job, really impressed, FAV point from us too! Thanks for another great Cache.
 
16-Nov-13
FTF! Smile

I'd grabbed my cache for the previous day cutting it rather close to midnight and saw this was still unlogged so I figured I'd make my way over. Got to GZ and searched about a bit to no luck but then grokked the hint, found I was looking on the wrong side and the cunning hide was quickly located. I was rather surprised to find a blank log inside!

A great hint and hide, a favourite point from me.

Thanks!
