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.
Found with water inside paper will need replacing, also have raised off ground slightly.TFTC, BBNZ3567
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
Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. All dry here but log is full. Used last waterproof earlier today. Cheers, Cympull.
Whew! Puffed my way up here from the train station- thanks for bringing me here tho. Great views and some lovely gardens on the way!
#138. Found on a very windy afternoon. Coordinates are off a bit found thr hinted object. 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!
Thanks!
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.

Went for a little stroll to find our first geo cache. Hidden better than I expected
Big afternoon of caching with JordanD125,was pretty windy but bundled up and headed out anyways! This one took us ahwile to get but the veiws were so worth it ! TFTC
Pleased to locate this cache after a previous DNF. Cache in good order, snug as. TFTC
Great wee find for the kids, stunning still day so the views were spectacular!
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
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.

22.2.22 look at that date. Got our special souvenir yay. Happy day geocaching with Hubby and Geo pooch Zoey TFTC.
Found the sistema container out in the open, so hid back close to a decent sized hint item, TFTC
First visit to this area and first cache of the day. A good place to start with beautiful views on a stunning day. TFTC
Found after a short search, a few metres from GZ. Out with a friendly muggle. All good in container. Tftc!
Another work out to get to this stunning location. Looking out at the bays on this lovely windless day, new log is yellow. Tftc
Great views from up here, there was a workers Ute parked near the watertower but I didn't see anyone as I crawled to GZ...
The log was full so I added a new one. TNLLogSLog
All nice and dry

Staying in Whitby for the weekend collecting the Kiwi trail plus a few others caches. Quick find although I think this one has shrunk in the rain. Log all fine. Thanks for the smiley and great views from the top.
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
Filling in time waiting for the traffic to thin out
Nice quick stroll up to the cache

Was going to drive past and leave this cache for another day, but wow, I am so glad I stopped! A stunning day! What amazing views! Thanks for bringing me up here!
Fantastic views from up here. Spent time enjoying the view before groveling in for the cache. Thanks for bringing us here
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
Nearly missed it but found it in the end. Bonus digger to check out up there too
They are doing construction up here. It seems everyone has gone home. Phew, didn't want to get in trouble :'D Cache is dry and has a little bit of room left on the log. 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
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.
