Diesen Cache habe ich als Teil des Teams LaMaLaMa (jetzt: Mr_Lama) gefunden.
Da sich das Team leider getrennt hat, logge ich nun unter meinem neuen Account Lærry nach.

Ich hoffe auf Euer Verständnis und danke Euch für’s Verstecken der vielen tollen Dosen!
Selbstverständlich werde ich jedem Cache einen Favo hinterlassen, bei dem es der ursprüngliche Account auch getan hatte. Falls ich einen Cache vergesse, dürft ihr mich gerne anschreiben.

Ich wünsche Euch viele tolle Caches und sage zum Abschluss: Bis bald im Wald!
Liebe Grüße von Lærry

I found this cache as a member of the team LaMaLaMa (now: Mr_Lama).
Since the team unfortunately split up, I am re-logging with my new account Lærry.

I hope you will understand.
Furthermore I thank you for hiding the many great caches!
Of course I will leave a favo to each cache where the original account did it. If I forget a cache, you are welcome to write to me.

Best wishes, Lærry

Area seems to be destroyed so archiving this one.

No luck here - the stairs (and most likely the cache too) are gone!

Hi

Sadly only found the wreckage of the steps...

Steps have been removed now. Needs to be archived.

Steps no longer there , Orange netting up .

Visiting island but won't even try for this one....I don't even see the stairs

Didn’t find it but the stairs completely mounted from the storm

DNF

This set of stairs has been damaged really badly by a recent storm. I am unsure where the cache was hidden but it's possible it has been washed away. We had a look. But lots of damage.

5 of us couldn't find it

Stunning location and easy find. TFTC!

Found it this cache with Cic
TFTC!

I found this cache together with my partner, Pityulino, during our holiday in New Zealand. Today we visited Stony Batter and on our way back to Rocky Bay we also found caches in the Onetangi beach area. We searched a bit for this one, bit had it in our hands soon. Greetings from Hungary!

No sign of mint tin.
Lots of sand could be covering it...Visited twice....even missed the bus as was so keen for a find. Big search area.

Caching with Loon Lady when we visiting the area via Celebrity Cruise ship Solstice.
Took the ferry to the island then Hop-on/off bus to tour some of the island. Walked the lovely beach, found the cache and had lunch (Charlie Farley's) in the area. What else could one ask for? SLTFC. (Sorry for entering so late- we checking our records and found that this one had not been entered.)

With Wandering Willy Suds on a cruise ship. Beautiful beach. TFTC,SL

Had to go a second time to find this cache but found it straight away the second time

This place dosent have a object.we searched for ever

Cache with new friends! So funny!

Quick find while exploring the island

Wahoo - TFTC on a trip around Waiheke island. Beaut day

Took a bit of hunting but found it with the use of the clues. Tftc

This time I found it.

T.f.t.C

Nice easy find.

Nice quick find.

Cache container too small to place "Hermie" in (trackable we're helping get to Queenstown) but boys enjoyed searching to find small tin tucked in its dry den. Onetangi on stunning sunny day.

Awesome beach.

What a beautiful beach and a lovely dry cache. Enjoyed a after with the awesome view of the beach. Tftc

We couldn't find it.

Looked as per clue but no luck.

A quiet time of day to visit, first fleet across for the day, A pretty beach, not too hard to find. TFTC.

Looked under the steps and nothing

My first find! Wasn't too hard

Searched area described for new cache on 12 March and around GZ but nothing found.

Easy find after a bit of a reach. TFTC

Easy find just where expected. Off to find some more

Quick find. Great spot.

Out for a day trip around Waiheke with KrystalKath's rellies showing them 'the game'. Easy find while KK went for a swim. Lots of muggles about today, but we managed to surrepticiously retrieve the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC

Couldn't find it Looked under boardwalk and steps, but nothing there...

Thanks for the replacement cache. It's still alive and waiting to welcome cachers to Spectacular Onetangi Beach.

Beautiful day and beach. Thanks.

My saddest DNF to date, as it will be ages before I can get back to Waiheke, and this was the very first time any passing stranger has recognised what I was doing! We didn't find a cache in the end but we did find a lovely local who had stumbled upon it a year ago and had a nice chat with her and her puppies. Not sure how well we convinced her to give real geocaching a go, but fingers crossed!

Temporary new cache placed on behalf of the cache owner. Cache is eclipse tin under the boardwalk. 5 m from GZ due to storm washout.

As usual, there were some people having lunch nearby, but that's just an excuse. I looked for a long while and couldn't find anything.

Went there twice to check in detail, but nothing there. I am courious what was found by the last one.

Looked everywhere this cache could be but alas, no luck. Convinced this is now no longer there.

Looked everywhere it could be - I may try again soon as it was raining heavily.

Nice find on a quiet day. TFTC

In Auckland for a couple of nights to see our daughter-in-law off on the Spirit of New Zealand tall ship. Came over to the island to spend the day on a recce as it's possible some of the family may want to come here for a week later this year or next year. Got the Island Hopper to this great beach, walked along after lunch and was horrified to see the placement of a picnic table right next to GZ with it occupied as well!

Managed to have a good look round as mostly hidden from view but found nothing, not even some remains. Will leave instructions with the family for their return, if they come.

I will be unable to visit this geocache for a while. If anyone visiting this cache could bring a replacement container that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Found it again, great spot in need of repair

A nice one to do while on summer hols. Unfortunately has become water damaged.

Could not propely try to search this due to plenty of nearby picnic muggles..

Found it easily thanks to good coordinates

Wandering around Waiheke grabbing caches as we go. Great cords took us right to the spot where after a little looking around the cache was found - between muggles walking the beach. SL and left as found. Thanks for the placement helicopter1919.

Found on trip here for birthday tftc

Thanks for the cache. Watch out for dead hedgehogs in the sand, ouch!

Took a while for us to find it but we got there!

Was really busy further along tbe beach but luckily quite quiet at GZ. Checked a few spots before spotting the right spot. Bit exposed so covered it up. TFTC

First Waiheke island cache, found slightly exposed. Re sealed and tucked away. 27 August 2016 12:11 GH6710 T F T C helicopter1919

We really liked this beach. Glad we came out here. Made the find between muggles. From Pennsylvania USA.TFTC =)

Found this with Loth during our visit to Waiheke island. Great Beach! Tftc!

Went to Waiheke Island with KirsTim to tackle some of the caches there. A little bit of rummaging here was required before we spotted the little hide. Thanks for the cache.

Over on Waiheke for the day with Vamber, and finally a relatively simple park and grab, well maybe. Parked the car and by the time we arrived the other two had found the cache, signed log as KKKT

Nice find thanks

After a wine testing! Perfect. TFTC

Nice easy find on almost dark, but we did cheat and use the hint to make it quicker.

My first cache on Waiheke (after an aborted attempt at another cache yesterday.... once I decided death looked a little too imminent during the climb).

Tftc! #cachebrowns

Got it! First cache in a while got to roll the arm over no pen but pic attached

Good

We were super careful of muggles

This was my first geocache, thanks for the easy find. I'm now off to find my second one!

First geocache found ... Success on girls weekend to Waiheke!! Committed in the rain

With mandylee - her first geocache. After a great girls weekend and lunch at casita miro

#3246 - This one took a few minutes to find as there were a few muggles around!

Traveling in Aus and NZ, this was one of the caches we logged on our journey, TFTC

Found whilst exploring the beautiful island. Easy find and it wasn't very busy. Actually found this the other day but only logged now. Tftc

First cache on our adventure to NZ! Found during the day with ciadirector and cheenie. Quick and easy find on a beautiful beach with a great view! TFTC!

First cache find in NZ!!! Went on the hunt with Lakeside and the bro. We scouted the location during the daylight hours, but we waited until evening to officially make the find since there were many civilians around the cache location during the daytime. A nice quick find on a beautiful beach with lovely vistas. TFTC

Thanks for my first geocache, no pencil there

A gorgeous day, lovely easy cache, deserves a favourite point! Tftc!!

Easy find on a gorgeous day.

From 19th February to 20th March Stadibast and I visited New Zealand. Half of the time we made a trip around the North-Island. After a short stay in Auckland we went to: Bay of Islands, Cape Rienga, Rotorua and the Wai-o-Tapu-Thermal Wonderland, the great Taupo-lake… We made a Rafting Tour in the Waitomo-Glowworm-caves or hiked the Tongariro –Alpine-Crossing and, and…
In the second part of our holidays we visited the south island, hiked in the Abel-Tasman-Reserve , went to the Marlborough-Sounds, the Golden Bay, the Oparara-Arch, the Franz-Josef- and Fox-Glaciers, had a great sight on Mt. Cook and Mt. Tasman, relaxed at the Wanaka- and Hawea-Lakes,….
New Zealand is a very amazing country and with exceptional natural sites. We are very impressed of these great nature monuments and sights and we are happy that we met so much friendly and helpful people.

Onetangi beach, what a wonderful place.
Greetings form Germany.

We spent 4 incredibly wonderful weeks in New Zealand for vacation and
had a lot of fun to discover all the marvels of this country.
Day 2 - we took the ferry to Waiheke Island and filled the day with hiking, beach activities and a wine tasting.
A beautiful island - worth a visit!
Besides we still found time for geocaching and picked up quite a few caches on our way.
This was one of them!

TFTC,
Stadibast

Out at Onetangi to see the horses, tractors, Segways and waiters racing on the beach. Got this before the crowds set in.TFTC

Quick find! TFTC

Nach dem Baden war diese Dose schnell gefunden!

Muggles abound but Miss almost-2 found it easily. Have added a bit more camo to keep it from muggle eyes. Log book running low on space. Thanks!
