20-Apr-23
DNF After 10min of searching, figured after the previous 6 dnfs that we wouldn't bother looking for too long
 
14-Apr-23
This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.
 
07-Apr-23

I came I looked, hint made the possible hiding spot pretty obvious. I searched there and a few other places but didn't bother wasting lots of time here given the string of DNF - besides time was getting closer to sunset and I had a bus to catch to get back into town to meet my teen for dinner. My reason for coming down is to visit him.

Think the CO needs to check up on this one to confirm it either there or gone
 
08-Jan-23
No luck here, either at waist or ground level
 
29-Dec-22
DNF at ground or waist level.

A quick walk this evening to grab a cache.
Day #95 of my current streak, trying to get to 100!
A quick find thanks to Angelic Kiwi's helpful log.
The log was damp but able to (just) be written on.
When I'm back in the area I'll try to remember to pop a new log in a plastic bag inside the container.

I would love to explore this area further but it's 7.30pm and with gates supposed to be closing at 8pm I will get out of here.

wet, but cool. Found little bug toy. Bring new paper next time.

A sunny Saturday, finally after a week long cloudy and rains. Can’t wait to be out and do some caches. Rapaki track last time. So I choose the valley track this time. This one was a quick and easy find.

I wanted to find some caches today, as I needed some on the calendar so I called mum up to see if she wanted to meet up to find a few in the evening. She agreed - woohoo! So we met up, I left my daughter at home, and we went to find a few to bring my calendar up to 11 for today too.

Nice & easy finds mainly - thanks - and was nice to have a catch up with mum!

TFTC!! Smile
 
17-May-19
A bit of a crazy idea with daughter to hit the town on Friday night and find a few, especially as I was at a different location to usual! Interesting area to explore at night, and we were sure hoping that the gate would not be shut on us - there was no indication of times in any case! TFTC!!

While other Westies were on a mountain goat mission we went to try and turn my DNFs into smiley faces. And this one turned out to be easy, despite that it was very wet all around and having unsuccessfully looked for this twice before, this time I went straight for the win!
The camo piece that hides the cache blends in real well though!

TFTC!
