On the buses: 9009 (Wellington) Lower Hutt, North Island, New Zealand
By zboy wonder on 05-Oct-14. Waypoint GC5EA91

Had a quick look before reading the logs but agree it seems to have gone missing.

Disabling until I can check it out

Checked the places a.magnetic could be but nada.

I think it’s been taken as we couldn’t find it at all even went in and around the flats

Most likely been taken. Not many places to hide something magnetic but definitely could not find

Functional bit certainly not the most beautiful bus stop.

Thanks

“New Scotland to New Zealand” Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada. We are travelling through New Zealand for a month and hope to enjoy many caches. Thanks to all cache owners and to this beautiful country.

We were sure a bus NIS would pass and take us to that mysterious suburb. It seems every second bus is going to NIS these days.T4TCSL

No bus only a cache. tftcsl

Last for the day. Bike servicing finished. Thanks

Quick and easy. Cheers!

Easy find

Nice quick find! TFTC!

??

Struggled so find something that would patch the hint given the construction of this one but lowered our search and quickly found it. Nice to get a cache in a busy place with little chance of being muggled.

Next stop: dinner! TFTC

Easy grab!

Quick park and grab while in the area.

Continuing our walk post Escape Room record setting, hayleyfcy and I made a quick find here. Thanks!

Not many places to hide a cache at a bus stop! Needless to say, was a quick and easy find. Tftc

Down for the MEGA in Upper Hutt, Wellington, with a group, SethRaven, NZTravellers, HeMaLuDy, caching around the area.

Logs individually signed as "stik-a-crane" or "SAC" if space/time was short .
Time for the official photo celebrating the MEGA..

..thought the events were well managed considering a good sized turn out to the MEGA.

Thanks to all the CO"s for maintaining their caches ready for the onslaught......

TFTC.

In the area for the MEGA this weekend. Found with NZTravellers and stik-a-crane on a night mission. The hide location was soon spotted for a quick find. No problems or muggles to contend with. TFTC.

In Wellington for the MEGA event and had a great time! Congratulations to the MEGA team for putting on such a great event and thanks to all the cache owners for the great caches. We cached with Sethraven, HeMaLuDy and Stikacrane today and had great fun driving around the place grabbing caches and attending events. TFTC!

A quick and easy find. Thanks

A day spent driving up and down the Hutt Valley finding one or two caches. Signed caches Ms+Mr KR.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheer

Walking off breakfast! Tftc

Easy find

We fans it

Thanks . Found the cache just before a bus came along

Quick grab. Quiet tonight

A nice easy find on a wet and windy night.

Busy spot

Straight forward find and in good order. Tftc

Thank you! My first cache find. So fun.

A nice easy find while wandering over to Petone during a weeks holiday in Wellington. Tftc

I parked nearby and as I approached GZ an old man appeared walking very very slowly with a scruffy old terrier on a leash. I paused and waited in the hope he was not catching a bus. He stopped at the bus shelter, bent down carefully and adjusted the dog's collar. The dog lifted it's leg in appreciation and to my relief the old man continued on his weary crawl.
I was in like dog and hungrily pounced on the nice new cache. Speedily filled out log and exited smartly after replacing cache as bus approached from the south, water spraying and wipers swaying in the cold rain. Mission accomplished I too joined the busy thread of humanity driving headlong into winters gullet etc...
TFTC and for maintaining this series.

Yay totes found. Petone guides.

Nice quick easy find

Great cache! Just glad the bus came along

Thx from France. Good cache thx
During our waiting for go to south island

Sneaky! Good cache, thanks!

Another quick find - although almost got caught putting it back - but got away with it.

replaced the cache today, it's all good to find again

Had a good look and no where to be found

Quick and easy find, even with a muggle in the bus stop. Just let my fingers do the walking. Couldn't sign log as its full. Took a photo for evidence if its required.

Log is full

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

** This is a log from an account split. Logged as YetiNZ **

Cool container! TFTC

Nice cache quick find. The log book was full though so couldn't add details. Muggle free in a public holiday . Tftc

This was the third day of my driving trip down to Oamaru for Geofest 2017. I stopped every five to ten kms or so along the way to grab a cache. This expanded my driving time to a total of two weeks to get there and home again. I ended up going a total of 3,500 kms. TFTC.

After I visited the first cache of New Zealand I continued my trip around Wellington.

It was raining all day - so perfect to go for some caches.

Quite a cold day but at one point I rented a bike to go for spotting Pinguin - unfortunately without success. Anyway, it was a nice but short trip to New Zealand .

Thank you very much for the nice and good maintained caches and all the best from Switzerland
TFTC choller

Was passing by on a wet and wild weather day and decided to take a look as all quiet at gz. Quick n easy find. Cache in good order. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Quick find, TFTC.

#313. Nice easy night park & grab, they don't come any easier! Tftc. NB: only 4 log spaces left.

Fast find, slower sign! TFTC zboy wonder.

Sat down to write on the log then a bus came along and saw what we were doing and took off, to bad if we really needed to get on.

Thanks for placing the cache. I had to fill in a bit time in Petone today, so went for a wee walk.

Easy find just felt in the correct place. It was abit harder to extract the log

An easy find in the dark. Thanks for the cache and series.

Out for a quick lunch time grab of some Petone/Alictown caches.
Very quick find once the muggle transport had moved on.

A quick find by mini me while out looking for 'undercover' caches on a rainy Autumn day. Thank you for the cache.

I've driven past this location many times knowing there's a cache there but never been able to find a time when a muggling was unlikely. I was here mid-evening this time and it seemed ideal. I had a quick look around and didn't find anything. A bit confused I had a more careful search and found a nano. I wasn't expecting that which is why I missed it on the first pass. No way I'm signing that in a bus stop so back to the car to do that and inevitable re-rolling ritual. At least there's still space on this one - I hate finding chocka nano logs. TFTC!

Up from Dunedin for a long weekend. I caught the train to Ava and will make my way to Petone. The bus had just gone so the place was muggle free. A quick find.

We are used to this size of container from Hong Kong. Had to sit in the shelter as a bus came along so he didi not stop! TFTC

Very small! But not too small for us #promasters - Sum and Gee

No problem here. Thanks for the cache.

Found with the local Venture Scout unit with the Rover Scouts during a linking activity.

Had to be Careful as near a busy road

Found it tftc

#64 nice easy find. Had to be careful with log as didn't have a roller! TFTC

Tftc

Just as I was about to start searching, the bus pulled up and the search had to be abandoned for a little while. However after it had gone, it was a quick find. Tftc.

Having a quick visit over to Petone.. the old stamping ground as my in-laws lived here for many years in Jackson st. and my hubby went to Wilford school here. I am Very Very pleased to locate this and finally tick this off as i am sure it was missing when i visited the area some 18 months ago. This time i had to wait for the bus to come, pick up a passenger and then leave before i could attempt a rescue mission. But once the bus had gone it was a very quick locate, retrieve, sign and replace. Thank yopu for this cache and another smiley face.

cute!!!

Nice easy one, tftc!

Cool wee baby cache.
Requires new log though pic instead

Hahahaha rad

Smallest one yet

Found it. Thanks

Found it thanks

Another cache where MrsOchiai's skills became handy. Quick find. Tftc!

These are my jam! TFTC

I found the cache easily enough but getting the log out to sign it almost defeated me. Finally I realised that I could use the magnet on the container to draw out the metal pin in the centre of the rolled log and pull the log out from the middle. Getting the log back in was simply a matter of rolling it up. Did I say 'simply'? TFTC!

Hhh

Found need

Very cleaver little thing

Quick find when driving passed

Wow this is really a nano canister!

A nice easy find. Thanks.

It's Tiny

Good!

StreetWalker and I are spending the day in the Wellington / Lower Hutt area before heading back to the mainland tomorrow, so we took the opportunity to find a cache or two, especially solved puzzles.
All quiet at this bus stop and StreetWalker had already found the cache by the time I got to GZ so all I needed to do was sign the log book.
Bus stop hides are great for rainy day caching. TFTC.
