Stop for a picnic (Langs Beach) Langs Beach, North Island, New Zealand
By @McArgister on 02-Jan-15. Waypoint GC5JKX1

This one took a bit of a search but after reading previous logs, tge cache was soon in hand. TFTC

Tried but it didn't show up for me today.

Confused for a time - then found some planks- and the cache quickly in hand. Watched by a curious possum

A straightforward find. Thanks for placing a cache on this magnificent track

No bench, no planks, no sign

With the help if the last persons log we retracted backwards and then had cache in hand

Bench no longer there. Just timber planks.

On our way to Auckland TEMBO! and I made a stop at the "Stop for a picnic". We found the cache after a quick search and logged. We had unfortunately no time for a picnic.

Thanks to @McArgister for hiding and maintaining the cache.

Down south for the weekend with *Filser1* enjoying the lovely autumnal weather. Enjoying the views from this track. Extended our search and soon had the cache in hand.

Super

Really happy to find today. Up in Northland finding mainly the geo tour caches. heading back south and stopped here because my muggle partner has a friend living nearby. And time on hand to find some caches. Wind is pretty annoying and also tiring. Thought I should look in the most likely spot and there it was.

Enjoying this sporty walk ! Thank you for putting caches in this location.

Sat on log to write ️ log.
What a coastal walk... glad we didn't try to bike it.
Great views.

done

Once was a seat or table

Missed finding it enroute to Waipu Cove but its hidden location was found enroute back to Langs Beach.

Lovely walk along the coast.
Had to waist some time to find this.

1431. 3:31 pm. We loved the approach to this geocache. Over and under and through the woods to geocache GZ we go! FP. Although the picnic area has become a minor ruin. Found with eKitten, GRAkiWi and Li0nPaw. TFT(adventure and the)C.

I presume there must have been a table here in the past but it’s gone. Only a few planks on the ground. TFTC

GPS took me to the wrong GZ. Found it easy enough after widening the search. TFTC

Tftc quick find great trail

Roadtrip time, day 7.
I have used the Easter weekend combined with taking 4 days leave this week to get in a 9-day driving tour, hoping to get as far north as 90 mile beach in order to seek the recently published PWGT caches throughout Northland, as well as catch up with 4 different sets of friends.

I had spent last night at the campground in Waipu, and today was looking to head over to the west coast of Northland and then onto 90 Mile Beach. I didn't know it as I started my day, but by tonight I will only have gotten as far as Opononi after a very full days caching.

With a few caches available along this gnarly walkway, and the sunshine inviting me to take an easy stroll along it, how could I resist? The walkway, it has to be said, is not the easiest to navigate on foot. Lots of tree roots etc to trip the unwary, but the views along it are good.

Once at GZ, I initially wondered where I was supposed to be looking, but working with a combination of the Hint and using the "where would I place it?" approach I eventually found the cache some 17m away from where my GPS said GZ was. I'm not sure if my GPS was glitching or otherwise, as I had the same issue with two other caches along this track, but not with others. Weird!

Regardless, I encountered no issues with either the container or the log, which was swiftly signed before the whole lot was replaced exactly as found.

Thanks for setting up and maintaining this cache.

We waisted no time in finding it . Took TB.

No time wasted on that one! Good hint!

With loopelou enjoying this lovely walk

TFTC left a trackable inside KLR

Not sure if this is the perfect place for a picnic! This took a bit of finding but got there in the end. Thanks for the cache @McArgister

Nice hide took a tad of searching..found all good but both GPS indicated the Co Ords maybe out a few meters...thanks for the cache @Mc

Our GPS put us wrong again so we looked around and there she was. T4tc

Amazing place. TFTC

Little bit searching around but we got it at the end. Found it with company of SOLRAC TWO. TFTC

Cache safely

Due to the government ordered Covid-19 lockdown, I will be doing my bit to #slowthespread. From 11.59pm on Wednesday 25 March 2020, I will not be accepting any Found logs on any of my geocaches, until the Level 4 Alert is lifted.

AliGle and I spent the night near Waipu and today drove back to Auckland via the coast and did a few short walks and some caching along the way. Spotted the remnants of the picnic table and made a quick find of the cache here. TFTC!

Found while walking the coastal walkway. Beautiful day, lovely spot.

Nice find while in the area with tmann421 today
Enjoying the trip north and the caches
Signed log as tm/ww NZ

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!

*Track much harder than expected but we really enjoyed the trail, easy find with hint.*

Enjoying Labor Day exploring Langs Beach, The McKenzie Trail and Mangawhai Clifftop Walkway collecting geocaches along the way. TFTC

With Lemmer in New Zealand at amazing caches. Thank you for showing all that beautiful places. flatrate

Great walk. Thx

Great walk. Thx

Strong guano smell around here, guessing a shag roost nearby. We took a side each and Mrs Sp8 won.

Forgot to say, came by here early in the new year for the first time in a while and where there used to be a picnic table, now there isn’t. So the cache name and description make no sense, but it is still where I hid it thankfully.

Nice quick find. Hint and GPS spot in. Nice dry log duly signed. TFTC.

Ran out of time for this one yesterday.
So here I am back today....
Looked fruitlessly in ladder fern area for ages....
Then widened search and had a quick find 11m away!
Cheers.... too hot for a picnic....back to car for water and fruit!
Nice shady walk though!

Was high tide so did not go along from Ding Bay. Took the main track in then back tracked to cache along the walkway extension. Once at GZ was a relatively quick find. Nice day but track was a little muddy and slippery in places. Tftc.

The weather was just right, so I took two days to go up to Waipu to get in some Geocaching. Also, I wanted to make sure all my camping gear was in order for next month's Mega in Wellington.
I was expecting a better formed picnic table. I looked in a few places, then circled around to the other side and found the cache the hard way. TFTC.

Headed up North with Jag50 and Merlot58 to stay in Pahi for the long weekend. On the third day we headed out to the Waipu area. Lovely little spot here. Found with help from previous log.

Up north for the long Easter weekend with Merlot58 and Aiden29 enjoying the lovely autumnal weather. Enjoying the views from this track. Extended our search and soon had the cache in hand.

I was staying in Pahi with the Jags and Aiden29 for Easter so plans were made to collect as many caches as we could while we were up north. We found the co-ords a little out here but it might have just been the tree cover.

Out at Mangawhai for a while, so just had to make sure of at least one cache a day.
Headed off down the walkway late in the day and didn't take too long to get to GZ. Once there, the cache was quickly found, thanks to the good hint. TFTC

Struggled to find this one,GPS 8-10m out. Previous log with hint helped. TFTC.

The night picnic was really interesting. The forest shrouded in the dark. All its inhabitants began to show on the silver webs in the light of the headlight. First we searched for the location where navigation was shown. But due to the dense vegetation it could be confused. Then we found a table behind the fallen tree and after a moment we found a cache. A spider guarded it, and because we had nothing to snack, we continued on.

Thanks for the cache.

Noční piknik byl opravdu zajímavý. Les se zahalil do tmy a ve světle čelovky se nám na stříbrných pavučinách začali ukazovat všichni jeho obyvatelé. Nejprve jsme prohledali místo, kam nám ukazovala navigace. Ale díky husté vegetaci mohla být zmatená. Pak jsme za padlým stromem našli stůl a po chvilce hledání i keš. Strážil ji pořádný pavouk a protože jsme neměli nic ke svačině, pokračovali jsme dál.

Díky za keš.

Nice walk!

I've been meaning to do this walk since these caches were published, and even have a family bach nearby in Lang's Beach, so I don't really have an excuse why I haven't done these yet. Having no plans for this trail looked like just the ticket. Was quite surprised by how many people where doing this walk, though in hind-sight half of Auckland is up this way, however I didn't have any issues with muggles, apart from a few short breaks in the searching to let them past.

This was the first one I went for as it was on another part of the track. Got to GZ and then realised why this cache is called what it is, and a quick hunt around revealed the tell tale's of a hide. Thanks for the placement.

486 Nice walk with GT Works

(2101) Headed south to walk the coastal walkway between Langs Beach and Waipu cove and collect a few caches along the way. Nice quick find once we reach GZ, To early for morning tea. TFTC

4.30pm. Too late in the day for a picnic but never too late for a cache. Took a while to ide the well camoed thing. It may have been quicker if it hadn't been so dark. For those coming for the picnic it is a good idea to bring your own seats rather than rely on those provided.
Thank you. David.

Ryan was on a road trip up north and stopped off here to pick up this little set of 6 caches. This area was under development but didn't stop them stopping to find the cache. Thanks

Found

Stopped by After the Mangawhai Heads to hub with DJ, Nice quick cache to start it off!

Sorry Rach & Rob, still there!!!

Didn't bring a picnic. But stopped and enjoyed the views. TFTC

Searched, but no find

Thanks to this cache, we walked the trail and it was really nice! Three caches we could not found, but we loved every minuet of it!

Not enough time for a picnic, but just enough to explore a bit of this track section & grab one more cache... Love this trail & must return to complete it!! Must do some more caches so I can award this a "favourite" . Thanks!!

with lila121 the sweetheart =)

Heading north this evening so we stopped for a picnic. Lots of the interesting rock formations along this stretch. Thanks.

perfect spot!
