Acheron Playground (Porirua/Wellington) Porirua, North Island, New Zealand
By Just-Lookin and Princess-Emily on 26-Jun-14. Waypoint GC57JM6

Checked on this one today and suffering from severe cache creep for the third time. I suspect local young muggles may be onto it. Time to archive this one

I thought I was going to come up empty handed here, but then read some logs and saw comments about being 25m out. Sure enough, I found a very good hiding spot 25 meters away and bingo, there was the cache.
TFTC.

Out for a walk with our smallest and thought I might get this while out GPS was confused but it's the most obvious spot within 25m of coordinates. Tftc.

Found after attending WENZ 2018 - The Launch Party Event before heading home to Palmerston North. Thanks Just-Lookin for the cache.

Grabbed this one on way to airport. Bit of misty rain around. Yes it is definitely 25m from the coordinate location. Hint allowed a quick find. TFTC

Coordinates are about 25m off, but easy enough to find from the hint. Tftc.

Awesome

GPS was off by 25m but a Princess Emily that was with us enjoyed finding the stealthily hidden cache by another Princess Emily

Easy find good trade!

Here one day gone the next. A nice easy find looks like it has walked away. Better finding next time. GPS was not giving any clear direction or location.

Had problems with my phone GPS coordinates. But still an easy find.

Waiting to board the boat to Mana island thought we would pick up some of the surrounding caches. TFTC

Found this one. Not sure if my GPS isn't working or if this was placed in another spot. Lovely little spot. No goodies inside the cache today. Pencil blunt so have photo logged.

This is got a few little cool prizes inside. Bring your won pen to write in the notebook. Quite an easy spot but fun to find.

Easy spot but cool anyway

Fun find super easy

Out for a walk around the local area today. Stopped by for this cache. Pleasant reserve area. Cache all good. TFTC

Tftc

Thanks for the cache

Found easy. No more room on log so wrote on some thing else

Managed to get this quite quickly without looking too suspicious. Tricky area with resident muggles all around.

Nested well

Thanks that was a good one... but there is no pencil so bring your own.

Thanks that was a good one... but there is no pencil so bring your own.

Kids were happy to find it

Forgot to bring a pen. But dropped off a TB.

Quick find in a lovely park. TFTC

Found it! Swaps are a bit sad . Took a card and left a home-made craft

Thanks for putting a cache here - it was a great place for a walk while my Dad had an appointment in Mana this afternoon...
Cache in good condition, added a card and returned stealthily with some natural camo added.

Tftc

An easy find: the container had been left in the open. Signed log and replaced with some cover. TFTC

Great one.

Nice little park here, but we are getting a little tired now, it's been a veeery busy 3 days. Came down from Auckland for the Mana Island CITO and all the present caches on that island. We have done many more caches to boot. One of the girls found this one, so now supernanny and rustynz and Rebel98 and I are off to gather just a few more before we hit the airport.

Nice quick find for our Auckland Team of 4 ! Thanks ,,,,,, off to airport shortly .....

With a group of Auckland cachers: rebel98, supernanny & gorby. We are able to park nearby, and its a gentle stroll to GZ. Supernanny grabs the cache from its hiding place, and the log is signed. We are on our way to the airport, the long/slow way

Thanks for the hide.

Quick find. Tftc

Nice cache!

Good easy find. Tftc

Nice quick find while in the area. Cache all good. TFTC

Easy find. Recovered to hide it better. Thank you.

Was a good walk

Easy

Ahh yes.. Work to the GPS. 2 all now

Found some keys amd left them in the cache

Found it took about five minutes to find great clue!

FOUND IT!
Didnt take long but found it nice and easy! 13/01/14

Was easy find. Yay!!!!!!!!

I feel like an egg easy find but ive looked for it before awesome park though

Parking was a head scratcher, but apart from that all was smooth.
A park for the geokids to run diversion in, and hyjynx and myself swiftly located the intended gz, and made the extraction.
Took the geocoin will move it along its path.
Kids enjoyed the park,and were baffled about the infiniatly turning "plunger" thingy.
Cheers

tftc (:

Checked on the cache this morning and all in good order. Not sure of comments from hippolover50geo as I've not spoken to them but assume they are confusing this cache with HM Acheron (since archived) not far from this location.

Cache in good order and ready to be found.

The geocashe isn't actually there. I know the person who put it there and after I looked for it they told me that it had been stolen... So don't go looking for the geocashe at Acheron Road Park as it will be a waste of time and energy.
Have fun looking in other places and wish you all the best of luck on your adventures to come

Dropped off a coin that has been travelling with us through Nz as it is a nature one and we loved the community garden. Thanks for placing it here so we stopped the big kids loved the playground.

Really nice quick find as it was fully exposed added crab tb abd paracord key chain, recovered as much as I could. Tftc

Visiting from hawkes bay. Had to do this one as the petrol station around the corner is our usual top up stop. Tftc

Quite visible so recovered. Perfect diversion. Travelling w a goose who loves parks!

First time geocacher -- had fun time finding it quickly. Great location! TNLN, TFTC.

Quick find with willzof89

Easy Local find. TFTC

Quick find. Thanks for the cache.

Out exploring new playgrounds with the kids. Happy to find a cache near by. Tftc

Find #116. Cache in VGC. TFTC!

I had solved these back in June 2013 and had signed off 12 of them in November 2013. I am now on my way south and have stopped off in the Ngatitoa Domain for a couple of nights before catching the ferry. So it is time to sign off a few more.

Cheers for the cache.

Thanks for the fun! My boys had a blast finding this one and left in a great spot. My son was especially pleased with the watch that was left in the box for swaps

Quick find in a snug little hide.

found it on our way out of wellington.
unfortunately, I went the exact wrong direction while I tried to locate the cache, and slipped over beside the woods.
Wasn't exactly pleasant but TftC!

Cache quickly found - no-one around, but by the time I had signed the log two trucks pulled up and parked while the drivers sat and made phone calls! I thought I would be waiting forever to replace the cache, but managed to do the deed with a bit of stealth.

nice quick find

A quick find this morning while out doing a bit of maintenance on my own caches. Had found the previous cache that was in this park so it was nice to be able to get a smilie here as well.
Cache and log in good nick. TFTC

A quick park and grab whilst out exploring the area - tftc

Nice little park

We had been here before & hadn't found it...but today we did! It's a good one.

Good easy find

Eeeeeeasy

Last cache of the day. Quick find, though had to seize the right moment to avoid arousing suspicion -the road was busier than I expected. TFTC.

TFTC Nice Hide

Another quick find while the geokids headed off to the playground. TFTC

A nice quick find. TFTC

It's quite a tricky find, well his, but my boy found it in his first search! Very lucky

Quick find.
Thanks

Too early for the little ones, no Easter eggs here on a Easter Monday, just a nicely placed cache, TFTC.

Found the cache without being muggled. Removed two travelbugs (TB4XEA5 & TB4D5M9) that don't appear to be logged as being placed there. TFTC.

Travelling past. And called in. . what a lovely little park. But I did feel a little exposed searching here with the houses across the road . thank you for the cache.

Over the Paekakariki Hill Road and a zoom around the Porirua Harbour collecting the Kiwi GeoTrail Caches and anything else that happened to get in the way! A lovely day in this part of the world (my Dunedin based scalp turned a little red!) and a really enjoyable caching experience. Thanks.

Replaced log and ready to go.

tftc. log full.

Rainy day find added blue smily face case was emtey

Not sure if we were muggled or they were fellow cachers

Found it fast

One of the clips is broken. Good find though! Lots of bugs!!
