Melling to Manor Park #4 (Lower Hutt) Lower Hutt, North Island, New Zealand
By pukeho1 on 30-Mar-15. Waypoint GC5PN8M

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Will check soon

No find for me either. Spent quite a while hunting, even checked the seat (which would be a cunning idea!) Time for a CO visit.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

No luck finding this one today, despite a good scan though trees around GZ

??

No luck today despite 2 of us searching. Suspect it is still there so will revisit it when someone else finds it in the future.

Not as keen an eye as the others it seems. Shall return another time. Cheers

TFTC. Thanks for the good hint

A successful end to my caching mission today. I just love the river. TFTC

Great, quick park and grab. TFTC

Out in the Hutt Valley this afternoon and grabbing a few caches. Quickly spotted. Thanks for the cache.

Found

Had to look for a little bit but found it tftc

Lovely sunny day by the river. TFTC!

Nice quick find on our post covid streak, spotted from the grass. TFTC

Awesome hide, couldn’t have found that without DaVinci Hunter by my side. Thanks for the cache.

TFTC - awesome

Spent a good 10 minutes looking for it

Definitely had to stare at the trees for a bit but agree with everyone saying it’s a “right there” kinda one

Found on our way back on the walk today. Spotted by my partners keen eyes from the outside and then I squeezed in to retrieve. Thanks for the cache

Good hiding spot!

Second search, now successful.

Second search and success this time. Sat and waited out the muggle cars and then had a methodical search. The undergrowth was playing a part here. TFTC

Great place

Bah. Area overrun with branded. Will look again when they die of a bit

The last day of our post-MEGA holiday in Wellington, so we spent the afternoon biking some of the Hutt River trail. Skipped a few and paused at the seat here because it was near our turn-around point. A bit of careful scanning and there it was.

Nice easy find on a sunny afternoon , had to wait for a couple of muggles to leave tftc

A quick and easy find. Thanks

Found on a day spent driving up and down the Hutt Valley, finding a cache or two.

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

It was hunging

??

Second visit and we finally found it! Tftc

Fun find for the kids behind the school.
Took a few passes to find it, nice hide.

Couldn't find after a reasonable look.

Tftc

Tftc. Nice easy find.

Great find!

A quick find of another previous DNF. All safe and dry here. TFTC.

That was a little tricky but found it in the end taking the time to helps

Took a bit of looking around

Came out without a pen while walking the dogs. This was a previous DNF so I thought I’d have another go. Found easy this time. Took pic as couldn’t sign the log. TFTC

Quick find. Came prepared with a log sheet, sorry no baggie. Trying to do plastic free July. Inside cache is all dry. TFTC. Saw a paradise duck.

Found okay but cache empty. Needs a new log. I only had a tiny piece of paper to add.

Found a black bison just sitting in the vegetation and not attached to anything It does not have a log Left it hanging on a twig about 600mm above GL CO needs to check please TFTC

Checked and still in place

I couldn’t find it, spent about 20 minutes in and out the bushes to no avail. Sigh , but what a beautiful view

Despite the spot on coordinates it took me a while to find. TFTC

Fab! Ttfc

Hunting for the souveniers "Last Cache of 2017" and "First Cache of 2018"at night in Lower Hutt. The plan was to get only "Last Cache of 2017", but then... I walked and walked and so on. Most time I spent for caches without any container, I think...
At the end of the tour of darkness I had five new smileys on my map and two more souveniers.
Not so easy in the darkness, but after some time I get the second of this night.
Thanks for the Cache and many greetings from Germany!

A nice quick find, with spot on coords. Quite boggy underfoot on the way to the GZ, so I chose a slightly firmer route a little to the north.
TFTC

Made a dash across the grass to this. A lot muddier than we expected and ended up with muddy wet socks. Made us laugh. Found nice and quick!

A quick easy find on a lovely Sunday morning. Coords spot on. Thank you

A nice easy find, exactly where the coordinates said it should be.

Nice find on a great walk!

A very wet day meant I changed plans - I was going to head to the hills for a cache today, however decided to do a park and grab instead. This cache was guilt of raising itself above the parapet and was selected as my target for the moment. A relatively quick find under relative shelter - compared to the field this was a very pleasant spot.
Thanks for this placement Pukeho and another smilie to add to the tally.

Nice easy find tftc.

Tim, Teresa and I went to pick up Megan from Dance Splash practice. We decided to try and find this one on the way home.

Thank you

Came here for a new place to eat lunch and had a look for this cache while I was here. Hardly noticable unless you're looking for it then it's suddenly "right there". Love those caches so thanks for this one.

Quick find while out walking the dogs. Forgot the pen though so will have to revisit on the next dog walk.

Took a bit of looking but found it in the end. Cheers

#438 found while out walking Luna the geopup. Tftc.

Another one bites the dust!

Nice one

Tftc took us a while to put our caching eyes on as we haven't been out in a while good spot cheers

Cache # 3,108 - had spotted where this cache was last weekend when I was on a walk with Crystal Fairy, but left it for another day (discipline to keep my daily streak going). Decided this morning would be good, as I got an extra early start and just might miss the rush hour traffic from the Hutt (having been caught there once this week at 6:30). Even knowing where it was, it was still very difficult to find again in the dark with only a torch to use. Took several minutes - certainly much easier in daylight. Retrieved cache log and signed it, then returned. Yes, at 6:02, when I got back on the road, I managed to beat the rush hour traffic and had smooth sailing into Wellington. Timing was good in another way - 5 minutes after I left the cache the drizzle started! TFTC.

Consecutive caching day # 1,056

DId a quick walk with the Geohounds, MycroMan and THe Wandering Dragons to three caches along the walkway here. The big dog (Everest) managed to lose his choke chain (if any future cachers see one lying about, please will they take it and drop me an email). Thanks for all the caches..

Did with Crystal Fairy.

Cheeky hide, had to wait for my eyes to get into "caching mode" before i spotted it.
TFTC 289 25 March 2016

Log replaced. All set to go.

A nice quick find here. The logbook is full. TFTC

Quick find whilst draining around the Hutt River. TFTC

Novel hide, pleased to have found it. Log is full, and I didn't have a spare with me. TFTC.

Took a little while but found it in the end

A quick find at the start of our very pleasant walk along the river walkway. Log was full so I put my initials and date down one side. Tftc.

Full to overflowing log book.

Out for a ride on a lovely sunny afternoon, from Petone to Manor Park and back and try a few caches.
An interesting hide. Full log.
TFTC

Find #2491. One of 16 found on a bike ride from Petone to Birchville and back. it must look mighty odd to other people when you emerge from the bushes. I think it was this one that had a full logbook. SL TFTC

Quick find while out doing some evening errands. TFTC pukeho1, #8223

Found on my morning bike ride. Log 1 away from being full. TFTC

This one took me a good 5 minutes for looking around before something caught my eye. Thanks heaps for the cache - my 900th.

Quick find this morning on the way home from work. The business shoes didn't get too damp with the morning dew. Another in the series gathered up. Thanks for the cache.

In sunshine caching is easier. TFTC

First cache of the day and wet feet already, love it! What do we expect caching by the river in winter. Nice placement, tftc

Cache all good after we spotted it. TFTC

Found while out cycling and caching with Grandad. TFTC

Little bear and I took advantage of the great afternoon to enjoy a bike ride and collect a few caches. TFTC.

Nice one Pukeho. The wire is getting rusty but it'll hang in there for a while longer. TFTC!

This one took a little bit of patience due to the number of doggie muggles and their muggle owners. Took a little bit of looking around but soon located. TFTC

It took me while to find this wee cache in the dark. I found it in enough time for me to have a look for another cache. I am on a mission similar to CaligulaNZ's but I am looking to turn twosies and threesies into foursies.

A good placement screened from most muggles but not requiring bush bashing. Just thought where would I put it ... and there it was.

First cache found on our walk today. No problems at GZ, and we soon had the cache in hand. TFTC!

Was going to let Gilgul or Selesi find this one but it was right in front of me. TFTC and the series.

Found with Gilgul and UlmusLynx TFTC

Ulmuslynx & Selesi were more on the ball again. That must have been the only possible location I didn't investigate!

Out on lovely Sunday morning walk with BigcheeseNZ. Straight forward find. TFTC

Wedding party taking snaps nearby while we logged this quick to find cache, I think a couple of the caches on this trail have been affected by the big flood Bruzie is correct. Tftc

I found myself with a bit of spare time this afternoon so went to grab a couple of local unfound caches. A short search and quickly found. Lucky it wasn't swept away in last weeks flood. TFTC
