Manuka View 2 Beach Haven, North Island, New Zealand
By kiwiscot19 on 06-Jul-15. Waypoint GC5YWG8

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.

Stumps have disintegrated along with the seat which is no more. Cache MIA. Most likely we will be archiving this cache and setting up a new hide in another location nearby.

Cache hasn't been found in 10 months may be gone

Like others, we didn't find it.

Had eyes watching so didn’t want to rummage to mich

Found some stumps at GZ. They were very overgrown. Had a good poke around in the rotten bits but couldn't find a cache. Might try again with GeohoundandI and a a pair of gloves.

Nice quick find with some epic views! I remember being ashamed to not find the previous hide here but soon realized it was missing! Thanks for the replacement! TFTC

Distance from original: 39.4 feet or 12.0 meters.

Original hiding locaion was a log seat. This has now disintegrated beyond use. New hide is located approx 12 metres away.

Original geocache location now disintegrated beyond use. We have moved the hide approx 12 metres. Happy hunting.

Log seat is disintegrating - cache is either buried or now missing. Will replace soonish.

Beaut spot for a brief rest. Log probably needs some maintenance.

Very smart and creative spot, was a good find.

Great spot view was amazing

Great spot for a reat

Nice walk in the rain round the coast. Easy find and great swap with my LEGO block

Nice walk around this walkway to find a few caches. The place was busy so a couple of DNF's and a couple of finds

Found it!

Signed the look, this one was a quick find out on a nice walk

*log

Quick trip across in the ferry from Hobsonville.
Nice easy find

Nice and quick cache. Wonderful place to stop for a seat. Log is in disrepair , didnt have any spares unfortunately.

Good easy cache

Found it, awesome view 11/10/2019

Found 9/10/2019

This time there was no Muggles. Thanks for the cache.

Started raining so gave up the hunt

Took us about 15 minutes to find. Gorgeous view!! Left a little swap. Thanks

Found with mikefnz tftc

Found on a quick geohunt with darkangel

Thanks.

I knew where it should be but still took a second look by another pair of eyes. Tired children so last cache of the day.

Nice view. Easy walk. Took our dog. Swapped loot.

Our favourite spot along this lovely walkway. Such a nice touch to have the seat here along with the additional chair so thanks to whoever put it here.
This was our last find before heading off to lunch and was a great place to end our morning adventure. TFTC.

My mum (SethRaven) came over to the Shore for the day so we could go Geocaching together. This was find #8 after 9 searches . . . . for us today. We had to walk straight past this one as 3 young male Muggles were sitting here having a great conversation. Thankfully just as we arrived back at GZ they got up and walked on . . . . . Mum made the quick find and on we went for more. TFTC

Out on the North Shore on this beautiful day spending time with my son (2FLYTim) Geocaching . . . . . this was our 9th cache of the day & our 8th find . . . . . .quick find - signed - returned and on we go to the next set . . . TFTC

Time to go to Beachhaven dodging the showers this morning.

The seat was a tad wet so I didn't sit down.

Cheers for the cache.

After completing some home chores in the morning we decided to reward ourselves with a few caches in the afternoon. We set off from home with Beach Haven in mind stopping for a few easy and not so easy park and grabs. Had lots of fun today exploring some new parks, beaches and bus stops and enjoyed the many different hides from the CO's today.

A quick walk from a nearby street and it was starting to get dark now, so we quickly sat at GZ and rummaged around to find the hide. great view from here and the sunset colours in the clouds were lovely. TFTC!

HB1E strikes again at dusk! re-checking a spot MrNZT had checked and voila! found. TFTC!

A rest on the lovely seat to take in the view and one more cache to add to our list of finds.saw this one as we approached but only as we had a good idea of what to look for.all tucked away again now.

No logbook inside to sign up. TFTC

This is a very well-made series of caches. The caches are nicely hidden and very well prepared. I enjoyed caching very much this morning! Very rewarding.
Thanks a lot for setting up and taking care of this series Kiwiscot19!

- Nice and easy find!

Good camo

Checked while in area and signed new log. All good here

Thanks. Lovely view

Once again teamed up with McCuthen Cache Clan for an excursion into the "Land of the Northern Jafa" to see what we could drum up in the way of cache finds. Our more recent attempts to locate caches have been excellent but usually before the first hour was out we were wet to the skin (and remained that way for the remainder of the day. Today we were hoping for better weather, and apart from one heavy shower managed to acheive our goal.

Setting off from Mr McC's at 4am we were working to be home at a reasonable hour (according to our respective wives), and we even managed this, along with locating 62 caches for the day, so all in a success for two southerners. Signed as "MCD" or variation there of.
I will apologise now for the "copy and paste" logs but yes we did have a great day out and enjoyed ourselves and a big thank you to all the cache owners that put in the effort to keep the game (obsession) going for the rest of us.

Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

Out on a late night cache run, starting with an event and ending with an event. We signrd the log as HOAC. Thanks for placing this cache and making our night enjoyable

Great view!

Lovely spot, we got to GZ and a couple and their young son were doing a photo shoot. We lost patience and told them about what we were doing and found the cache. Thanks for the cache, all good here.

Came to look at a house in the area and decided to GeoCache afterwards.

Nice Spot, very peaceful...

TFTC

DNF

I tried accessing from lancaster road, but in the end found it much easier to walk from Ranch ave, However after finding the cache, Looks like there might of been a trail out onto Lancaster after all. Very quick find, Thank you

What a fantastic place Ito visit! Sun setting with a full tide, beautiful
Added pencil
All ok
Thanks!

New log - All good

Alright!! Had to use my findy stick because I don't want to touch the gross things...

Tide is right in and rain has lifted for now. Never been along this trail before but this is an area of the North Shore with more caches I haven't reached yet. Thanks for bringing me down this way.

Another good find by me! Great view. TFTC

GPS had us closer to the edge here today, but read the description like it said and the cache was indeed soon in hand. Nice place to stop for a few minutes before carrying on. TFTC

Been meaning to do this for ages and finally got round to it. A nice spot when the tide is in, unfortunately it was out today but still a great track for walking in.
TFTC

Out today before the rain comes into Auckland to get some fresh air and sun. TFTC

Wow, what great views the houses along here have! Mrs Jag50 made the find then it was time for a drink, admire the view, then on to the next cache

We decided that it was a great place to stop for a minute and catch our breathe, while Mrs Jag50 signed the log.

Out caching in the area with Merlot58 and Aiden29. This was a good place for us to have a rest and enjoy the views, whilst Merlot58 removed a splinter with a TOTT.

Extended our family walk a little further than we'd planned in order to grab this cache. Disappointing to see so many trees removed and non-native plants encroaching on the area now. A quick find. TFTC

I enjoyed the walk along the waterfront along with many others. I had to wait for some to pass before I searched for the cache and I had to wait again before I could replace it. TFTC.

was this lord of things rings? bout the only thing in the cache was a big shiney fake rock.. but like a crow to shiney stuff we had to have an intervention to get the lady along to stop admiring it and put it back in to the container... "PUT your hands where i can see them.. back away from the cache....

Thanks

Forgot to bring a pen to sign the log but a cool find. Thanks

Son had a footy game at Shepherd's Park and with time to spare before the game I headed off for a walk. While coming down the track I met a local lady who walked some of the way with me & told me some of the history of the area. Thanks for bringing me here and what an interesting & informative time I had. TFTC.

Found on a pleasant family walk, on a warm, wintery afternoon. Thanks for the pair of caches - we didn't know this walkway was here!

Broke my wife's rule with this one, finding two caches in the day. But it was her that teased us by sitting down where I knew there was treasure to be found! (And it kept our little girl motivated for the return to the car.)

What a lovely peaceful spot. Nice place to sit down. Tftc.

Lovely view.

Our third find! Getting the bug now! Nice seat!

Started in the wrong spot but had a hunt about and there it was. Tftc

enjoying the walk and caching along this track. found this one after bit of a search. tftc.

Unusual seat ! Nice to have a peaceful bush walk overlooking water (mud !) after busy day travelling home from Wellington and a few hours at work ! Still well tucked away ....but findable thanks kiwiscot19 and parents !

It looks like the nearby neighbors have done some gardening & landscaping in this area. Somehow the cache has survived (we would be surprised if they did not discover the hide with all the chopping that was done). It will be an easier find now. Please ensure some natural camo is placed on top of the container. Happy caching

I popped out after dinner for some caching on this lovely summer evening. I parked up at the end of Lancaster and made my way around to GZ. Cache was quickly detected. Sat on the nearby bench and enjoyed the view as I rolled the log-sheet back up. Very peaceful here at this time of day. Cheers for the cache placement!

Nice cammo on these, enjoyed walking along picking them up

TFTCS

This one had us stumped, but our third attempt was the charm! A very tricky spot to search, with regular muggle traffic and two houses overlooking with what seemed like omnipresent residents.
The gps was all over the place on our first visit, with the cache location showing as over the bank. We searched the obvious spot instead but to no avail. Our second and third visits showed the cache very definitely in a spot where it most certainly wasn't. Another good root around on our third visit and we eventually had the cache in hand.
The cache required more digging to expose than I would expect, so would suggest a slightly higher difficulty.
Thanks for this incredibly frustrating cache

Mr P and I were convinced we had an idea where the cache would be - and clever Mr P quickly found it. T4tc

The lad found this one today. Exciting. We looked at many different places but kept going back to that spot. Well done.

I went out with yorkshirekiwi83 this fine Sunday afternoon to do a few hours of caching across on the North Shore. We returned to this one at the end of the day, as muggles were sitting on the seat when we visited earlier. Took a little bit of hunting to find it! TFTC!

Vistra and I had a couple of hours to get out in the nice weather, so made the most of it and headed to the shore to pick up some that are just across the water.

We had to come back to this one as muggles were sat there earlier, searched the area and found that tricky little one.

Out and about collecting some of the local caches while in the area with tmann421.

Enjoyed the walk and a quick find at GZ. Dropped of the Segnoid's Geocoin.

On a short geocaching trip in Auckland with Just-Lookin.

We soon found this cache - enjoyed the walk.

Wandered along from the other cache in the series, almost overshot the mark as we were too busy chatting. Cache soon located and back again to the car. Came out of a different entrance which was slightly disorientating. TFTC

So busy chatting we almost overshot the mark.

TFTC

Still raining so no time to linger-soaked already trying to find it!Got there in the end-tftc

This one had us looking round and round for ages with no luck until finally we put our hands on the little treasure, well hidden indeed. TFTC

#1137. I was in Auckland for a work trip and as fate would have it I had a meeting at Albany at 9am. So took the opportunity to add the Manuka View caches to my FWF collection. This one was quickly found. My GPS suggested it should be over the bank but that looked dodgy. So went for a more likely hiding spot first and sure enough there was the cache. A few houses overlook this cache. I imagine the owners will wonder why people are spending time searching in this area. TFTC

We had come over this way on the morning after the Manuka View caches were published but only did #1 that day.
We returned this afternoon to make the walk to #2. Nice views along the way and an interesting seat at GZ. We searched for just a little while before coming up with the cache. Thanks.

Decided a short stroll in the sun would be nice today. We haven't been along this part of the track. Nice spot. Lone kayker on the water and a mother duck with her brood enjoying the water. Took a moment to locate. Well done on the camo and container great job. SL. TFTC.

Was a bit surprised that this didn't have a found log this morning - I'd decided to stay in my warm bed, as I had just got into it when the published notification came in.
However reading Gorby's logs in the other new caches in area, I suspected it had been found, just not logged yet.
Came for a walk in the early sunshine, just in case - you never know, and the walk would be good.
GPSr was all over the place, having checked out the obvious, without finding (was laughed at by the doves), I started to search further afield. Perhaps it hadn't been found (Gorby hadn't logged it either). In the end I went back to my original searched area and this time came up trumps.
I had been beaten though, Firemansam had been here at midnight.
Enjoyed sitting in the sunshine, it had a bit of heat in it, and watching birds (Blue Heron, Pied Stilts, Black Backed & Red Billed seagulls), on the Oruamo/Hellyers estuary mudflats. Nice hide TFTC

Walked down to this one along the trail at midnight. Trying to not attract too much attention with the big torch. Arrived at GZ and went to the obvious spot. Searched all over the offending structure with little joy. Was trying to be really discrete using only a tiny penlight thanks to the house overlooking GZ with the lights on and someone walking around. Widened the search area but was drawn back to my original spot. Had another look and came up trumps. Im sure this a rather nice spot in the day time. At midnight it was very dark and about 4 Degrees. {FTF}

I would have come to this cache! But it was about 3 or 4am, I knew fireman-sam had beaten me to it anyway, so I decided a little sleep wouldn't hurt.
