Pedestrian Overbridge (Pukerua Bay) Porirua, North Island, New Zealand
By tmann421 on 07-May-14. Waypoint GC54AM7

Found by my local muggle friend effortlessly after being given the clue, heading back to her house after picking up a number of others in the area today. Thanks again for another cache today tmann421. it's been a very enjoyable day. Will have to come back and pick up the rest.

[Logging correctly as a Found, not a DNF!]Rain, rain, go away!Come again another day.The ducks are happy, so people say,But for Geocachers, it's hard to play!Unless, of course, you are maplerosenz and you just dodge the raindrops...Nice little hide on a cool bridge, which didn't take me too long, considering the many places it could have been. Well done on finding a great hidey hole for your cache!TFTC, de mann, tmann421

Stopped here for an easy find on my way home from Porirua. A favorite point form me. Thanks tmann421 for the cache.

Enjoyed a new bridge walk to find this cleverly hidden cache while walking a loop from the beach up the goat track and down the zigzag.TFTC

Quick find. Have never been up here before

Fun to find with my 4yr old son!

Not today...

Spot on coords. I was listening to a great podcast when I found this one. Tftc!

Quick find out for a mtb ride down to the bay

Tftc

**19,829**Looked in all the wrong places first, once Id looked in the right place, I stopped looking - probably should have consulted the hint earlier. Anyway, got there in the end. TFTC

Have meaning to stop off and have a look for this cache for ages. Finally got it knocked off. Another enjoyable cache thank you tmann421. All good here.

Fresh container placed.

Found cache, signed log. Replaced cache. Noooooooooo! Dropped container. Go and look for container. No sign of it. Bummoxes! I am so sorry I seem to have lost the container in the aggies. Slapped wrist for me. Hope you are of a forgiving nature. Note to self, wear you blessed glasses so you can actually see what you are doing. SORRY!

Looks like container has been lost - will replace.

Weather is looking good so we're off to do the escarpment. Quick find while others were faffing. Tftc

TFTC!

Tftc easy find while out with geeves90

Nice stop on the way to the beach on a very not beach weather day, but someone came up with an entirely stupid idea she needed to fill her calendar so she has found a cache every day, so here we are on a non beach day off to the beach to find caches not yet found

Caught by a cyclist muggle at GZ as he came up the ramp but were able to look as if we were giving way to him rather than anything else. TFTC

My 50th birthday today, so a day spent bush walking and caching with my daughter. Last one of the day, a quick find. Thanks for the nice hide.

Cool hide.
Straightforward.
Cheers.

Driving home there was a lucky break in the horrible weather. decided to pull over and see if there was a cache nearby. Would ya look at that iv pulled over just before this bridge. Nice quick find because the rain started back up again as soon as we got back in the car! TFTC

Fun little cache on our way back home ! With JordanD125.
TFTC

We are on a dose of two a day - number one
Thanks for the placement on the back road

Very clever Took me a while. Quite pleasant there today in the sun with very little wind.

Clever TMann! Love your hides!

Cache in good condition TFTC intriguing location and placement,

Thanks for the replacement cache! and I couldn’t resist coming back to be the first names on the new log. KTG

FTF with the new Cache in place. Ty Tmann421 for replacing. Such an awesome hide also.had KTG and myself scratching our heads for a few minutes trying to figure out what was going on. TFTC

Replaced the missing cache, hope it lasts at new position.

Aaaaaaaaw.... couldn't find it after quite a search with the wonderful KTG. Looks like it may have been muggled as we were absolutely bang on with the co-ordinates. We even searched further along in both directions.

No luck for us today. Had a good search around but with no joy.

Will check this one out soon.

On a walk down to the beach thtough some pretty thick fog, had time for a brief search.
No luck today however.
Cheers,

Out for a bit of a geocaching mission on my day off! Last cache before heading back to the Hutt. Brought a snack from the store and meandered along to the bridge. A quick find, I must have my geo-sensors on today! Got sprung by a teen-muggle while signing the log. I got some very strange looks... TFTC

Added a swap

Part of my attempt to clear my logging backlog. Found with aeshna_uk. We'd been in the area at a house viewing and really liked it so we thought we'd check the area out, particularly from the perspective of commuting to central Wellington so came to look for this along the way. Loved the area but there was another house whose deadline was due one week earlier and we got that so, alas, was not to be. TFTC!

Thanks tmann421 for placing this cache

It was a great spot for a cache as you can see easily if muggles are coming... retrieved and signed while the coast was clear

Found

Wet morning, looked in several places before I got it. All good, tftc!

Nice hide. Took a short search.
Did a few caches in the area while Mrs Q walked another section of the TA trail. Thanks

One of two caches located today on our Sunday afternoon bike ride along Ara Harakeke from Plimmerton to Pukerua Bay. The correct elevation is important with this hide! Found it without too much effort. #3208. TFTC.

A quick find today then spent a fun afternoon at the beach with the family, saw the rescue helicopter hovering over the escarpment, found a large jellyfish and starfish, and saw a couple of paragliders. The logsheet was damp and fragile (even though it was in a plastic bag) and it was kind of mushed together. I managed to get it open but couldn't sign it in order. I did manage to sign it further down where it wasn't as damp. I hope the CO doesn't mind but I took the liberty of adding a strip of waterproof paper, which I also signed. Another nicely hidden cache. TFTC

Found fairly quickly.

Found on our TA thru-hike. Feels like the trail came quite a ways out of the way to make use of this bridge...

Probably didn't look hard enough. Will go back there soon.

We looked below when we should have looked above!

Fantastic little hide! A little bit of damp accumulating- tried to dry things as best I could.

Having enjoyed some success today at finding caches that had eluded me on earlier visits, I decided to stop here on my way home. I can't remember what happened the first time I was here but I suspect I was short of time and had muggle issues. I had to wait for a muggle to pass before I could start looking today. It didn't take long to find the cleverly hidden container which made me wonder how I didn't notice it the other time I visited. One can always rely on this owner to place containers that are very appropriate for their location.

Needed one last cache for part of the mystery series. Took a quick stop int he rain to grab this one. Great hide.

Out tonight finding a few clues for the jewel heist. Have driven past here hundreds of times but never before stopped. Tonight there was an extra incentive and quickly spotted the clever hide. Thanks for the cache.

Found on my trip north. Took longer than it should have to find

Stopped by and replaced lid and log.

We are staying in the area and today I took all 3 of my brood along for a walk/playground/geocaching trip. This was a relatively quick find although we had to be quick as I needed to keep an eye on each child while hunting. Nice hide which is blended in well and I almost skipped over it. Unfortunately we dropped the lid of the container and we were unable to retrieve it. I've wedged a piece of card in to hold it together but it will need a proper lid and I don't have any on hand. Apologies.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Another that I could have/ should have grabbed a few years ago i invetsred a stop off and quick stroll to make the find. After taking my search up a whole new level I soon had the cache in hand and decided that this was to be the last cache of the day as the weather is starting to pack in a bit much now. T F T C tmann421

Time to garb a few in Levin when passing through and some new ones have sprung up in the few years since I last stopped and cached. All were good easy finds and replaced a sfound. T F T C to all C O s.

On the road nice and early today - before 0600, keen to make some finds before an earlyish return of the hire car and a ride on the roller coaster that was Air NZ on this very windy day! I managed a few as I headed South, and as the weather slowly but surely deteriorated. I got wet, cold and blown around but all good wheh caching and adventuring.

I have a meeting on the North Island that I need to head to so I came over the day before rather than risking the travel on the day option which is often fraught with the danger that the Welly weather gods won't play the game and leave one stranded. So I made it over the ditch in good time to head up for a sociable Indian meal the evening before being planned in the days preceeding. With a little latitude for a couple of leg stretches on the way up to Bulls I targetted some quick stops that would also tick off some other targets.

Should be ok as nowhere near the light pole or barrier.

A DNF for me here. There has been an recent accident here taking out the light pole and damaging the crash barrier. Might pay for the CO to check it out.

Found today with TwigNZ and Etherlord Clan, TFTC Tmann421.

The EtherClan are invading [@TwigNZ](http://coord.info/PRPHK6E)'s castle for the weekend with the aim of heading south to chase a World Turtle.
The first priority was pure numbers to count towards souvenirs, and the second was a lonely (puzzle) cache that hadn't been found in 1000+ days.
With some external assistance, the puzzle was solved and we set off on Saturday morning with Priority 2 set as the start of Priority 1.

Having just put pen to paper for said lonely cache, we started caching our way back north with this being our next one.
We parked near GZ and left the mini-me's to watch us from the car.
There was no obvious hide location/s where we were searching, and I suggested that we might be at the wrong level... Twig looked up, muttered something indecipherable, and wandered off to the the ramp.
I followed by a different path that took a few seconds longer. By the time I arrived, Twig had the cache in hand.

I was being visited over this weekend by the Etherlord Clan, with a mind to use the visit as a great reason to go caching further south that any of us usually do, in order to try to make a fair dent in the Hidden Creatures event. The weather looked like it was going to put a real crimp in our plans, but with the predicted rain and high winds coming from the south Mrs E had the bright idea of heading straight to the Cache furthest south simply working out way back north, as the weather allowed.

Having just found a nearby Puzzle Cache that I had really wanted, this one was close by. I thought it would be a very quick park and grab, but I obviously hadn't had enough coffee this morning as I hadn't immediately spotted the vertical potential of this hide. Luckily Mr E had his caching head on and pointed me in the right direction, and then it was a quick find. Thank heavens for the wooden boards, which made for a great windbreak whilst trying to sign the log!

All is well with this cache, so it was a quick sign for all the members of our group and then back to the car to race the incoming inclement weather to see what else we could do.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Quick stop on the drive home, clever hide on this bridge I have driven under so many times.
Thanks tmann421

Checked and all good here.

Thanks for the cache, a easy find

Passing under today and remembered seeing a green for here, so a hasty stop and ran back to grab this one. Great hide, all safe and dry here. TFTC.

Driven under hundreds of times. 1st time to walk over. Thanks

In Wgtn catching up on family and friends. Monday to myself so its a walk along the Escarpment - Pukerua Bay to Paekakariki. So lets go!
Parked at Pukerua Bay rail station at 8.45 to start the day. Easy snag and tag here. Great bridge. Cheers

Thought we'd bike from Plimmerton northwards. After a couple of false turns we got here. Very nicely hidden cache. Thanks Tmann421

What a neat old bridge and a fitting place for a cache...a nice easy find of this neat camo thanks for the cache tmann421

Very therapeutic - surreptitiously easing out the cache in the sun while hundreds of commuters streaming home below.
Thanks

Never bothered to stop and walk over this bridge. Well worth it!

Quick find this afternoon whilst making yet another trip up to the sunny coast. Have driven under this bridge a fair few times recently without actually knowing the cache was there, until today. Thanks for the hide.

At last! After many tries to find this ingenious Lee had in cash. I think the metal nature of the bridge distorts the coordinates a little
which makes the looking more challenging.TFTC

Found it at last! On a visit last year I failed to find this neat cache, but succeeded today. Had a good walk to the Beach Road, then went into Wellington to a great exhibition at the Portrait Gallery, then to the Gallipoli stories at Te Papa, and then went to the opening night of WOW. A really good day.

Clever cache! Took a while to find it, and had to return at a quiet time, but worth the search. TFTC.

Got this nice cache well on the area. Thanks

**taybee** is caching again with **taybee nz**

Quick find here today dad want this one
[?] Found with ***taybee*** [?] Sign log book

Good quick find thanks.

#318. I have driven under this overbridge dozens & dozens of times, but never stopped til this morning. Nice easy park, walk up & grab. First to sign the new log. Tftc tmann421.

Replaced the cracked lid and logsheet.

First cache of the day before we started the Te Araroa power trail. A good omen and nice to start with a new smiley face. The cracked lid is still OK with the log sheet dry. Nice cache

Folk - please be careful with the split lid. Sorry tmann421 - I didn't have a spare lid with me tonight.

Other than that, dry log, all good. A very quick find.

Thanks for another smilie

All good here, TFTC

Well hidden. Found after quite a search by three of us - FnJax & ChisL. TFTC

Tricky little sucker this one! TFTC

Nice spot. Could be difficult at busy times. All good here. TFTC

I have a goal today and to help me reach that goal Watache was nice enough to keep my company while I work towards my goal of reaching 3000 caches.

The plan was hatched and the caches we wanted for your goals were noted and the order to do them in we set off around 10.30am weather was in our favor with only a couple of drops here and there and got home close to midnight, goal reached and one good sleep was much needed.

thank you for taking the time to place the cache, we enjoyed visiting each one of them, we will need another plan to come back and grab some more.

cache 2981

I was expecting that to be tricky like the one at Plimmerton but there is good muggle cover and it's hidden in a logical place. Thanks for not making that too evil in such an exposed location.

Nice easy one to stretch the legs upon beginning the journey home. Tftc.

This must have been about my 3rd attempt at this one, bu tI think it may been missing on at least once of the previous occasions. Happily it didn't take long at all this time!
TFTC.

TFTC!

First find on beautiful day being spent with caching buddies in Pukerua Bay. TFTC!

Tftc!

Fast find with group of 4 on sunny Saturday. TFTC!

A nice little stop on our way home to HB after an enjoyable couple of days in Wellington. Needed to look in a couple of places to find cache. A good little hide in a little spot. TFTC:)

Ha helps if u read the description ...... we were looking in wrong spot. o ce in correct spot was a quick find. Day two of our road trip with jordiporsche from hawkes bay to welly and return. Log signed as b&p.Tftc tmann421. Find # 3276

A nice quick find. TFTC

Stopped on my way to Wellington. Beautiful morning with no wind! Not too sure where to look at first. But after reading the activities it was a relatively easy find. Cool cache. Thanks
