No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

will need to check on this one, sounds like its gone burger

Think this one has gone, couldnt find it

Found stump.. No cache

Doesn't seem to be there?

Nice location thank for the cache.
I was about to swap trackables until I was seen by muggles. Had to wait for them to leave. But out of fear of the cache being muggled I changed its location, should still be a easy find. Just keep searching GZ

Heading to Feilding and grabbing some caches on the way so headed down here in the hope of finding the three caches down here. Followed the GPSr and quickly found GZ with spot on cords. Another good size cache with lots of swaps - TNLNSL. While it was getting lose to lunch time, not quite yet, maybe at Feilding - Thanks for the placement marisa&kaleb.

It was lunch time and we were searching for a suitable place when I saw this cache on my GPSr as not being far way. We headed there, thinking it was somewhere we hadn't been before. As it turned out, we had; back in late 2013 when there was only one cache here. After lunch, we quickly found the cache and went for a short walk. It was also a great place for geodog, Biddy to have a bit of a splash around to cool off.

It is still there nice and safe. Tnln Although we did blow some xmas bubbles.

Took me a few zig-zags across the road to zoom in on this one as GPS was off today… Thanks for placing this cool cache here marisa&kaleb - I must return at lunch time in summer when the river is more inviting!

My younger brother had a four-day table tennis tournament in Palmerston North. Rather than sit around and watch paint dry, I decided to take a caching tour of the Manawatu... Joined by Gap (of Fap and Gap).

Our last day of caching in the Manawatu... We've had such a great time visiting some heavy cache-populated trails. Now we need to find some specific caches for our current license challenge... This one wasn't on our target list, but just clearing the area... A quick find. TFTC.

Third day caching down this part of the country and today is no exception. We are on a mission.

6.05pm - More like tea time when we found this one also wondered if this was on private property. SLTFTC

[green] A beautiful day to go go caching, and no Christmas duties till lunch! An on top of that, I'm just 2 caches away from a personal objective - 2000 cache finds in a year, a new personal record.
So out to the gravel run, and a few odds and ends along the way.
I used the GPS to navigate my way here, but ended up on the wrong side of the river. Off with the shoes, and about half way across the river I saw the bridge. Darn. Found the cache, took the bridge back. Dry feet!

I was here well before lunch today. TFTC

nice and easy find

What a nice spot. I would love to live here. Will be back for a picnic sometime.

On a roadtrip in Sheep-Country.
Thank you for that cache.

A quick easy find, at a nice looking picnic area. TFTC

Decided to take a new (longer) route home today.
Lotsa people enjoying the great weather and coming down to the river - took me a little while to find the cache, but got there in the end.

TFTC!
with Tan1aNZ, Comandercon2 & FiddlefingersNZ

Cool box of treats and a good size cache.

Lovely spot I have never seen before

good stash

We did three GCs in the loop and ended up with the last being almost where we were parked. A lovely spot and a beautifully clean river.
Nothing in or out. TFTC

TFTC, Quick find

Little trail of stomped down grass led to this one, obviously a popular find. Tftc

Nice little spot, lots of interesting things in the cache

Clever hide! Tftc. Gorgeous area.

Wasn't sure which way to go but found it in the end..an easy find..TFTC!

had lunch.tftc

Great log. Lovely place for overnight in m home.

Caching in the MW, on a blustery spring Saturday.
A cache with so much prettiness and bling that I thought I had landed in Hollywood. Glam, glam, glam!
Happy for a straightforward find. All in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

It wasn't lunchtime but it was time for a cup of tea on the picnic table nearby despite the threatening weather... We had the herd of cows come over to inspect us and question what we were up to. WE also walked over the bridge but not thro the bush today as everything was a bit wet...
thank you for the cache.

Noticed that the cache down the road had been found before us today and when we saw a vehicle near this one we felt sure they would be other geocachers. And sure enough we were right - nice to meet you for a quick chat before finding the cache. Quick find - tftc and bringing us to a new area.

We had just found this one when a couple walked up the road we thought we had been muggled but soon realised they were geocachers too,TFTC

Lots of goodies. Tftc

Found while out enjoying a caching expedition in the region, TFTC, #6884

The day was planned, decisions made about what caches to do, the spring weather seemed to have arrived but the dawn broke, it was wet windy and cold. JonoS and I decided to go anyway and left Wanganui at 8 am. after our experience of taking the long was round were not sure where the No Exit road would leave. What a great spot for a family picnic when the weather if sunny, but not today for the cold wind was now howling. Nice size cache number 9.
So sorry we had not brought our lunch. TFTC

By the time we found this cache we were more than ready for our lunch!

A good size cache with well chosen site which would be ideal for a picnic if the weather was better.

A very successful day with MJMNZ despite the variable weather with rain and V. cold wind.

When I found this cache it was already past lunch time.
We had a lovely caching day out including a walk to and from the white cliff boulders, which I must say were absouloutely awesome
The day started off nice but then the dark rain clouds came in and wow di it pour down!! What a starnge weather change!! Luckily when we retrieved the cache the weather was again back on our side
A great sized container, I do like these as they are change from all the nanos and mint tins around and about.
A great caching day,
found with capperz,

This one had been on my may be required to satisfy a dot day list for a while. I'd nearly found it once before but G P S had me on the wrong side of the drive way near the river, and the near by house resident was also active too that day. Today we'd been out for a family walk to White Cliff boulders and also Mangaweka Reserve so a quick stop by here on the way home was in oreder. With mrs capperz and Tally the dog hanging by the bridge the cache was a quick and easy find by nightowl19.
Signing duties duly completed and this nicely sized container was returned as found, complete with the loads of jewellery making bits and pieces.
T F T C m & k, I think that's the last of my unfound caches of yours now done, took some effort and thoroughly enjoyed on this warm and sunny Spring Day

Good fun find thanks guys

Caching expedition in the Manuwatu region. Quick find and onto the next one. TFTC

Continued on down the road to pick up this cache, as we slowly made our way to the Kimbolton event today. This was the only non-capperz/nightowl cache we did today.
Great to see such a well stocked container. TFTC

Found today with Adventure Collectors while attending the event and CITO in Kimbolton. a great day caching and good company. Lots of familiar faces and some from out of the area. What a nice spot. Muggle digging in his garden took no notice of us and the cache was soon in place. TFTC

This Sunday was designated a "Caching Day" due to an event and a CITO in Kimbolten, as well as some new caching and a nice little back country road power trail. With the 4WD loaded up with SpudNZ, Tommygun9, Myself and Baby Tommygun9 we headed off to complete a 50 cache day. During the day we partnered up with Firewoof and Adventure Collectors to become Team FASTA (some of the nano logs needed space saving). At one cache we met so many people it almost became "Team EVERYONE" and an impromptu event!
Quick find as we arrived as Rattll was replacing this one. A muggle nearby was working in his garden but seemed pretty unconcerned with all the traffic of the day

Today's mission was a good one; 50 caches, getting my bronze CITO and FTF Addict badges, moving from bronze to silver in both the Mysterious Cacher and Social Cacher badges and going up a belt! And, probably most importantly, becoming part of team FASTA which, along our travels, took part in probably one of the largest unplanned cache convergences this region has ever seen.
Encountered Rattl once again (and not for the last time today) here as they had just returned the cache. Then they kept an eye on the nearby people while we logged our find.

Another good find while trying to keep the numbers ticking over a bit on the way to the nearby event.

Enjoying the drive around the area - soon found the cache
SL TFTC

I didn't have this one loaded into my gps but luckily Firewoof did and after a U-turn we headed in the right direction to this cache. A muggle gardener nearby made us a little nervous but I don't think he even looked up as we grabbed, signed and replaced the cache.

I had to try out the swing bridge and yip, it does swing .

Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Tftc. On my way to event so great opportunity to collect. Beautiful area and an awesome day too. 24/8/14

An early morning raid to the Kimbolton and Halcombe areas, before attending geodatum's 'MGC Winter Warmer' event cache.

Another one that took me a while to find.

Thanks for the cache marisa&kaleb

Nice drive out here for an easy find on a dot day. Thanks for the cache.

Peaceful and sunny spot on this winter afternoon. Nice stash. TFTC

Top little spot on a nice day. Quick find, and an impressive stash... no Maccas toys in sight. Took a quick walk over the bridge while we were there.

Nice big cache full of lots of goodies. Covered up a bit more when I put it back. TFTC

another day caching over here , TFTC

A lovely sunny spot to enjoy Lunch but we only had Time to find a cache today, many thanks.

FTF @ 10:24.
Got the email that a new cache was published. Since I was already out and about, why not try my hand at a FTF. Sped out to the new cache and found the cache relatively quickly (once my GPS sorted itself out). Glad to find a blank logbook. Thanks for the cache and the smiley. My daughter loves all of your jewellery and would gladly take it all if she were allowed!!
