Took a look up the water tower today and looks like they are installing a new telecommunication mast. Cache has definitely gone, so time to archive this one.

It was a massive waste of time

Thanks for my first find!

I was here with the previous cacher and we found the log was full. Previous cachers have noted that too but neglected to raise an NM. Also, the size is now wrong - it is no longer a regular but an archetypal small. That was making things difficult for a first-time cacher who was looking for something much bigger.

Thank you. We will do it again because its so fun. - A. I like the toy inside it - H

Cool spot! Left some swaps. (Next cacher could bring up a log as it's full to the brim!). TFTC and bringing us here. PS I do feel like we are stalking the previous geocacher thru this area of town!

**19,848**The rain has eased but the wind has increased. This is probably the norm for theses ways but us BOP people are used to fine, dry weather so its a bit of a shock to the system!! We will survive, heartened by finding a few caches in the area. An easy find here and then another race back to the van TFTC

Realised we hadn’t done any caching this month, so off we trotted for a couple of hours. Pretty straightforward find here. Great views!
Thanks!
 
16-Mar-23
I believe I found the hint.
There's one right where coordinates point to.
Interestingly, it looks as if someone even tried to split it open.
However, nothing inside it or under it.

30-Jul-22
Brrrrrr, it’s cold! and I are crazy enough that we thought it would be a good idea to find a couple of local caches that we hadn’t yet turned into smilies. The drizzle and wind didn’t put us off, and we found the cache without any trouble. Such nice views at this spot. TFTC. KTG
 
30-Jul-22
Nice and easy find while KiwiKatieG and I fill up a couple of hours before we head up north. Have placed a trackable inside the cache to hopefully allow it to move along on its journey. TFTC

I wanted to look for a few caches on my drive down to Wellington from the mighty Horowhenua this afternoon. I saw that there was a small clump of caches relatively close to roads so thought I'd try them out...

This was my third find. The co-ords had me a few metres away, so initially looked in a few other places before looking where I found the cache. The Hint was a good help though.

Then I took some time to enjoy the views and snap off a few photos before heading back to my car.

Thanks for bringing me here today Smile

Driving up top Palmerston North for the weekend for Ether Miss' birthday. I also need to find a cache for the day (which I did 10 minutes ago) but I decided to pick up another, so stopped by here. Its about 6pm, so dusk and heading for night, when I climbed up the little hill. Wow, what a lot of antenna up here! I counted 20 but I probably missed a few.Nice view from up here Smile

07-Feb-21
Smile Found after a wee search. Cache is lying on the rock not sitting under it, but away from sight from muggles. Great views, and lots of boats comig and going. I suspect the pants have grown up since the cache was placed, but with patience the cache can be reached. TFTC

Finally getting to log. It's been a hectic month. Well I find myself in NZ with Genghicat reliant on his phone. It's just not the same is it when geocaching? I can already say I'm over the hills. All good with cache. Tftc
 
24-Jan-20
Technically this was the second cache I've found in NZ, but after discovering I forgot my pen was unable to make a claim.

So, having fixed that problem, found myself at this cache. Nice little climb with a smiley at the end.

Thanks for the cache.
