Unfortunately based on the Public Access Areas Map, the location of the final is not publicly accessible, as indicated by very clear signage.

This geocacher reported that this geocache should be archived. A community volunteer reviewer has been notified.

The stairs are public access and the cache is on the stairs but wtf - archived

After reading the previous two logs, and seeing the prominent notices at the bottom of the steps, we decided not to attempt this cache.

They're private steps so got a few glares from the neighbours. Worth it?

It appears we aren’t welcome....

I had done some advance research on this cache so had an idea of what was required. My theory proved correct and we found wp1 and final coords quickly. But searched for ages at gz and couldn't locate cache unfortunately - but we did enjoy the challenge.

We might have been overthinking it today with daughter!

We were in the area so we gave this one a try. Went to GZ but couldn't find nothing. After reading the listing again we had an idea. And it worked. Took a few moments to find the container. Nice one. We really loved the idea. Hadn't have a cache like this for ages. Definitely a favourite.
Thanks for showing. Tftc

Hmmm, a field puzzle. Luckily KR had done the work on what might be required and so it was to be. A short wander then another short wander then some serious looking. Hmmm, a few of the hint's around, widen the search area! Sure enough, it was well hidden! Nice idea, cheers.

Had the aha moment ages ago, and only today while in the area did we make use of that knowledge. Final took a wee bit of a hunt but we got there in the end. . Cheers.

A hot day to walking and caching around the Port Hills. Kiwi Moose and I had a productive time though.

Thanks to all of the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Had noticed this one on the map, checked the cache listing but couldn't get what it is about. Decided to finally visit GZ and check. Arrived, and - no idea. Seemed like there is nothing that I could relate the coordinates to the title or the clue.
Fired away some quick searches online, then had an aha! moment and soon after was already copying the blueprints to the silent plane engine err, I mean - signing in the logbook.

TFTC!

I found this cache last week whilst out walking the dog with Clurbee however I had no writing implement so I returned today with a pen & Mr B to do the climbing. Builders working nearby but kept out of their sight. TFTC

TFTC. It was a great day to have a wee wander.
pleased to locate WP1, then felt a bit like Jonny English - slid down the damp bank, but managed to use all of my natural athleticism, to land on my bottom! recovered my composure to enter the new coords -battery flat!!!
Super skills now utilised and located GZ with no device to assist.
Thanks N!mrod for providing the entertainment.

#12679. Some huffing and puffing was rewarded with a quick find. TFTC.

We set out on a cold bleak Sunday morning to find a few caches in N!mrod territory (though we found caches by other COs as well ). Luckily the weather improved as the day progressed and we had to remove a layer or two of clothing as we warmed up.
Soon sorted out the gist of the puzzle and knew we'd be in for a bit of exercise. StreetWalker was on top form today and found both the WP and the final. TFTC.

GPSr wasn't in the mood to settle here so I had to check a number of places before I found it.

TFTP & TFTC

I cottoned on top the theme and dropped in on my way to work in the morning. An uphill jaunt and no time wasted finding the WP and the final. Cheers.

Nice stretch of the legs to take the long way home from work to get this cache. The weather has been amazing this week. Spotted easily. TFTC

Long night time run, and a couple of puzzles to nab a couple of souvenirs. Got muggled even at midnight!!!!!;

A quick find as the cache was quite exposed, All covered up again. TFTC. Cheers Bo

I can remember seeking a cache in Dunedin based on this same theme. It was interesting to find that I was not the only one visiting today. I shared the locale with 2 ladies who were working hard at improving their shape/fitness. Now that I think of it , I also shared that cache GZ with women working on their fitness too. Thanks for field puzzle N!mrod.

Finally got there, took some researching then an evenly matched race to the GZ with my co cacher. TFTC.

Super little cache!!! Really surprised at the relevant Segways from title to GZ and to the hint. ( these really had me chuckling.) Muggle central, so we went in the wet. Had it all to ourselves then. Would have loved to have tried the old one, which I see from logs must've been there once. A fav from us. (Can you give them two?)

Out and about at night.
Came by the other day, got the wp but fitness freaks heading repeatedly up and down precluded anything other than a forlorn look at the final gz from the safety of the 'casual dont mind plonker me ' steps.
Tonight it was dark...and the way was clear for a grab at gz. Yay.
Nice puzzle and hide. Cheers.

A real puzzle! Spied a likely spot from the clue. TFTC

Phew. Sometimes you just have to turn off the gps and turn on your cache sense. When I followed the clue instead I found it. Tftc N!mrod - I've got your game though - you're trying to get me fit!

Well it was a disaster waiting to happen really. 2 boys, a scooter and the dog with me today. But I had to try as its birthday weekend. I did manage to persuade Mr4 not to take his bike as I had a suspicion I knew where we would end up. I also had an idea of what the clues all meant and a quick fact check confirmed it for me. So off we set. Straight to the wp and a quick find before Mr4 had even caught up with me. Typed the final co-ordinates in and off we set pausing briefly to partake in another challenge set by the local residents. The trees made the gps waver a bit but using satellite images too I thought we'd found the right place. A likely looking hidey hole proved empty and we spent a while searching backwards and forwards. When the same set of muggles passed us for the 3rd time (doing crazy circuits) I thought it was time to come for tea. Now I've read the archive I might go back on my own...

I see this one had been archived and then popped back up again. So not too soon after publication and lunch I headed out to the posted coords to figure out what needed to be done. A bit of research told me what to do and I soon had a wp in hand. Just as I was putting the wp into the GPSr Rincewind3 came up to greet me. We both headed off to GZ and made a quick find. Stoked with the {FTF} even though RW3 had been FTF yesterday and now today, nice to FTF a cache twice!!! Back home in no time. Cool puzzle.

Thanks for the cache.

Having got the FTF on the old version yesterday I was going to leave this one for someone else. Of course events conspired and I was needing a cache before work for my current streak. I figured I'd duck in here in the hope that someone had already been. Well this was almost the case as I met TheWanglers at the WPT! Once he had the coords sorted we headed to the final where the find was quick and we added our named for a joint {FTF}
