Commemorative Plaques Inglewood (Taranaki) Inglewood, North Island, New Zealand
By Priceless Time & trayc.g on 25-Jul-14. Waypoint GC59H5N

I am regretfully archiving this as the final GZ is not a desirable hiding spot anymore.

Disabling as its gone missing

Found an area that matched hint but it's a dnf for me, spent so long looking.

Will check on this and replace if need be.

Did the calculations, and ended up a place that matched the description. But despite a good search couldn't come up with the goods today. Oh well, thems the breaks.

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)…

Auckland Anniversary: We’ve escaped the atrocious weather that has smashed the top of the North Island. Hopefully things won’t be as rough down the country. We’re hoping Taranaki will have enough sunshine and blue skies for our visit…

We had enough time to spend on this multi before heading to our accomodation in Stratford. We whizzed through the requirements and sorted out the final coords - Not as far away as we were expecting. Gap drove us almost to the cache which was quickly found. Thanks Priceless Time and trayc.g. TFTC.

**17,249**
After the local Ad Lab, we completed the calculations for this quick little multi (just the way we like them) and then we were soon on our way to GZ to locate the final. The type of hide made us doubt we had worked it all out right but finally located the little beggar. TFTMC

quick maths solve here and able to drive right to cache.
TFTC

The information was easily found which was great and then it was off to GZ. I searched at GZ but then moved to a more likely spot about 2m away. Just as I was about to move to another location I happened to spot the cache.
T F T C Priceless Time & trayc.g.

I was in no great rush on today's journey so looked for a few caches I could do along the way. I settled on the Inglewood Adventure Lab Cache and the caches it passed and then a couple of caches in Hawera as a lunch stop. In the end I got seven Adventure Lab Cache stages and five physical caches with another DNF'ed.

Solving was easy enough but one has to look at just the right angle for the cache.

After finding geocaches with my dad Cuzincori I have decided to start working on own account. I enjoyed working on this Multi cache and liked the hide at the final.
we had to be stealthy though as we had a couple of muggles turn up.

Yipeee My first multi Cache,After Doing One In Stratford And One In Hawera With No Luck Seems Third Time Lucky.

Found after being at the wrong trees this morning. Thanks for the multi and interesting info.

A nice quick find thanks. Gathered the required while Ms_KR waited for coffee, halfway throught the Adventure Lab, and signed the log after the AL was complete.

Ms_KR and I are on our annual pilgrimage to Auckland for our family Christmas. We spent today between New Plymouth and Stratford, and had good views of Taranaki for alot of the day. Very Nice. Please excuse the generic logs, there have been a few finds and they get muddled up sometimes.

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

So glad to see this enabled in time for a much needed dot day! Lovely sunny day, nice little walk to GZ. TFTC

Replaced....Again...All good to go!

Replaced with new cache

Seen a couple of DNF logged on this. I went and had a good look around as I have found it in the past but definitely no sign of it

Unable to locate

Disabling until I replace it again...

Looked in the tree but no micro box or string or anything

The questions seemed straightforward, and our calculated coordinates took us just past another plaque to fairly close to a location consistent with the hint, but we were unable to find the cache.

Having a day caching near Mount Taranaki. Cache all safe and sound. TFTC

Stopped to check out the plaques and gather the info for this multi. But the numbers dont look right so did a recheck. Now that looks better. And yes at gZ got this one in the bag. Cheers

Day 8 - Saturday 21 December. A long day from New Plymout to Egmont, then Stratford and back to New Plymouth for a few well earned ZZZZs.

The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby and I are spending Christmas exploring Taranaki via geocaching. Its been an amazing 3 week adventure. Rattls BBQ was a great event, meeting many other cachers. But also managed to fit in a few more events, especially New Years Day celebrating the start of 2020. Lots of caches - over 500. Lots of cache maintenance. Lots and lots of kilometers. And lots of amazing places visited along our journey. Mt Taranaki remained elusive for much of our travels and the caches on it at the top. Loved Pukekura Park Night Lights Show and the the Wooden Mechanical toy exhibition at NP Info centre.

Taybeedragon and I worked the numbers and got the same numbers for ABC as for XYZ. Well, that's possible, but... So we did a recheck. Lucky we did!

Day eight of Taybeedragon's and my big 3 week circumnavicaching trip around Mt Taranaki, starting from Palmerston North. Today is up the mountain!!
Highlights:
* 3 weeks, 536 caches
* Mt Taranaki had been removed for washing, which was a bit of a shame. Even after it had been returned we were only allowed to see it for it was less than half an hour a day.
* High percentage of caches with crappy coordinates
* Amazing Pukekura Park
* AMAZING Pukekura Park light show!
* Pukeiti Gardens
* Lots of cache maintenance!

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](https://coord.info/GC87777) - you won't want to miss it!

Stopped to get this on the way to work today, after stopping about a week ago to check out the plaques and get the necessary details. The find was straightforward after the nice little walk from the parking spot. Thanks Tracey, now only 4 dot days left.
[#921]

Found today with the Inglewood Pippins and Brownies on a walk around Inglewood as part of our sleepover. TFTC

Great cach, love puzzle solving and a bit of orienteering and even found out a bit of history about the town I have lived in for the past 10 years

We (Rattll & I) are on a mission to grab the geotour caches in this area and any caches that are close to these caches.
nice quick find at GZ thanks for bringing us here.

New locaction, closest I could get it without re working multi. New hint will help. Might be out 5m at most

#990. Day 2 of our extended weekend break in the Naki. A successful CITO in Stratty was followed by a very lively lunch with fellow cachers - so nice to meet you all. Then it was back to “Jinglewood” to meet up with a cousin, which turned into a long session of genealogy.

By the time we left them, this had turned into a night cache but fortunately I had taken photos of the plaques on the way into town, so no prob finding GZ in the dark! Cache was well concealed when I found it, and so the newly replaced cache now has its first two log entries.

Thanks for maintaining the cache tracy.g, and so nice to meet you. Another dot day done, 12 to go and my grid will be complete.

Solved the coordinates at the plaque. Sat in the car in the local park eating some lunch. Was about to head off to the final when I checked the logs and oh no the cache is not available. The GZ is gone. Oh well good to see the plaques and learn some local history.

Disabled until I find another location for cache as fence line is no longer there!

Holy Toledo batman I found it! Had had an inkling of where I may need to look, and had parked my car there, which reduced the amount of potential walking!
On my way from New Plymouth to Taumaranui, the long way via Wanganui picking up caches on the way! A group of us are meeting up in Taumaranui tomorrow to take a jetboat down the Wanganui river! Yippee! should be cool (in both senses of the word). My first stop on my caching adventure south was Inglewood to pick up the caches here.

Needed the hint as GPS was bouncing around but got it

Commemorative Plaques Inglewood (Taranaki) was transferred from Priceless Time to user trayc.g

I have proudly taken this cache over from Priceless Time. Contact me if you have any problems and I look forward to reading your logs.

Temporary Disable - Unfortunately, this CO as left us to go caching on the other side, RIP Priceless Time.
In the meantime, this cache is under the process of adoption. It can still be found and logged, but maintenance will not be done until the new ownership is sorted. Any problems please contact Blenheim Bear.

Third work trip to New Plymouth in as many months. I didn't think I'd have any time for caching on this trip having another meeting in the middle of the day in Palmerston North, but thankfully that was cancelled so I could squeeze in a few caches on my drive home.

Stopped here and located the plaques and got the required information. Suggested parking spot was full of Fulton Hogan vehicles so had to find alternative parking. Cache was quickly found at gz. TFTC

Our first multi cache nice and easy one. Nice spot. Cheers

Found

A nice quick multi although return2nai nearly got muggled by a couple with a dog but the dog gave him a big slobbery kiss and carried on. TFTC!

Finally found it thank so much for replacing for me when do you spend countless hours searching for a cache it can be incredibly frustrating but awesome when you find it

Day 3 looking and did not find cache dose not appear to be there

Done today on a geocaching mission with 2 Bulbars, he had done this one before, so it was a case of stand back and watch the fun, calc done and off we go. Soon found the cache in good order and camo. Nice one. All fine with log, signed and returned. Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap.TFTC! Blenheim Bear
This log posted with CacheSense for Android!

As the day started to fine up,
I headed inland a bit to Inglewood.
Time for another stroll

First up a Multi !!
And a few quick calculations,
soon had me a spot to head for nearby

At the appointed spot it seemed that there were no caches hiding
But wait a cotton pickin' moment ...
... there's something not quite right here [:o]

Oh !!
I've heard about these cache containers,
but this is the first one I have seen in the flesh
And in a spot like this,
they work really well [^]

TFTC,
Sweet as !!

Crikey !! I'm beginning to talk like a Kiwi

We decided on our way home to visit Inglewood and get a couple of caches and decided to try and get this multi once completed and was time to find the cache we thought of no its not up the hill we just did, but no it wasn't as nice as it was time was against us, but no it was only in the area nice quick find signed the log and placed back where found TFTC and for bringing us here now to head for home once again

Found with trayc.g, logging now as I have my own account. A nice walk with my family finding out the info. TFTC

My first successful Multi find!!! I've worked a couple out before but haven't found the cache at the final until today. Thanks for bringing me here!

Our first multi cache. We had to put our thinking caps on here. What a clever camo. TFTC

great camo Its good to learn all the history from these plaques many thanks

Neat little cache. Found with Geo-dog on a fine Sunday morning. Tftc

Driving around the mountain. good little multi.

At the plaque collected information needed then went for a drive right up to the Totara. Well camouflaged. TFTC

Love the camo nice start to the day TFTC

A quick visit to Taranaki; keen to go partway up the Mountain and, although this wasn't quite on my way, I hadn't found a cache in Inglewood before.
Interesting plaques and the area around the final is a lovely stand of bush.
Thanks for this cache, Priceless Time.

Found on a round trip via North Taranaki with Gnome62. Good to come back and find it. I had my hand on it but could not get it through the gap so had to go around the other side, the correct side with which to approach the cache. Great container, my blonde hair showed up when I tried to unscrew the container. Left a diamond, thanks for the cache.

Nice walk description wrong for container but good hide tftc

Good walk around to find this cache. Nice Camo but not container described in description
Tftc

Nice walk description wrong for container but good hide tftc

Wow, big thanks for replacing this so quickly. Today was our last chance to get this as we were heading off along the Forgotten Highway so perfect timing. Loved the cache container and not seen one like that before. Would love to know where you got it from. TFTC

Replacement log in place. l
Looks as though its been muggled by tree pruners . Please replace where found and cover well.

Pretty sure we had the right numbers and the right tree but as the last logger mentioned there has been some pretty heavy pruning going on. Pretty gutted not to get this one as we will probably not be back in the area.

Looked today, was assured in person that I had the right tree. Cache gone. Looks like trees have been recently pruned and probably revealed the cache.

Nice quick multi on the way to NPL airport. Its been great time in Stratford. TFTC.

First multi cache for me! I can only imagine they get harder from here! Thanks for cache, didn't really know this was back here in inglewood

Nice shade spots and view

Coordinates were a pain! Easy find tho:)

Our first multi cache, loving the free weekend

Found

Found it

First multi. No sheep today!

What's a Totara tree?!? It's there... Keep looking

First multi. Great fun.

On our way back we had a short stop here to visit this multi. Soon we had all the information but left the pen in the car so a short detour for us. Then we reached the final location and Maike found the container.
TFTC!

Thanks for this little multi which didn't tax our maths skills too much as some do.
About a week later, I saw an article with a photo of this plaque, isn't it funny how that happens?
The sheep in the nearby paddock were losing their wool. What is that about?

A fun one to do. Kids loved it. We left a little treasure.

My first Multi Yay

Always hesitant to start multi's as they tend to take quite a bit more time, & we often muck them up, but this one proved to be very quick & a straight forward solve. Then onto an equally as straight forward find.
Had to be wary of a muggle parked up not to far away though.
Left a pet rock - a possum. TFTC Priceless Time

Just visiting Inglewood for the weekend so it was nice to pick up this multi. Nice hide in a pleasant area TFTC

Snapped photos of plaques last time I was through and solved back home.
It proved a quick find once solution was in hand.

An excuse for a walk around town on a very cold day.

Another find. Easy to find.

In the area collecting some caches with tmann421.

A nice quick solve for us and an evening quicker find. TFTC

Nice multi-cache, found with Just-Lookin.
Soon had the numbers we needed to make the find.
SL TFTC

#6421. A quick stop at the Inglewood CBD Reserve to have a look at the commemorative plaques. GZ was all quiet when we visited. Quick find. The cache was in excellent condition.
- RUVI
Left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the cache.

Once time spent on interpreting clues it was an easy find.

Dropped and swapped TB

To many muggles around last time we were here but not today, TFTC.

Solved the clues some time ago but today I had a chance to grab the cache as I was doing a reccy for a girlguiding activity in the area next weekend.

On our way to the Taranaki for a few nights.

A nice cache in a nice spot

Tftc

Yahoo TFTC that was a fun wander

Found with KJTCS. Learnt what a Totara tree looks like. 4 th for the day TFTC

on our long holiday to taranaki and back to gisborne, a loop track. Easy little puzzle, not far to find.

Cracked the co-ordinates and enjoyed the walk . Needed to be able recognise trees!! An interesting and fun cache.

Had business at both ends of the Island and managed a transition day inbetween to find my first ever caches in Taranaki - glad I did. Thanks for putting these out and bringing me to this neck of the woods.

Day 2 of the Vamber/KiwiFruitsNZ caching adventure to secure lonely caches, D/T combinations and collect puzzle solves.

A commemorative 1st waypoint and a short walk to GZ. A quick find.

Our second day of our long weekend in the Taranaki, for our little geo-cation with KiwifruitsNZ, which saw us securing some geo-licence requirements, puzzle solves and some few extras.

All our numbers and information was quickly gathered, and we soon had the final in hand. Thanks for the wee multi.

Quick find in a nice area then we walked up to the Look out!!! But you need to be a bird to fly to the top to see anything. Nice walk though. TFTC

As a local for some unknown reason I'd been putting this one off. Finally I got down to it and it was a great hide and a lovely area. Dropped TB.
