Early morning drive down for a walk around Whitireia Park Reserve. FP. Thanks SAROC for the cache.
Best cache ever! Suffering from damp within, unfortunately. Found with Aurora11511.
Log is saturated and jammed in. Was able to sign the make shift plastic protection left around another wet log. I like these hides, been a pity logs aren't usable in some. TFTC.
This one is such a cool cache! It wasn't quite on the coordinates but once I took a step back and thought about it I soon had the cache in hand. The log book is complete mush... but I signed a second one someone else has placed in it. The cache is holding up well but it needs a new log book. I didn't have one on me otherwise I would have done it myself. The cache is nicely back in it's spot. Thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC
Followed the obvious geotrail to GZ, but struggled to find the cache. Dug around bit and found it away from where the hint suggested. As others have reported, the log sheet was soaked, and my pencil didn’t work on the piece of tissue a previous finder had left! Photo attached as proof of find. TFTC
Great sport. Crazy cache. Long papers very wet. Have wrapped my entry ring plastic. Rr
What a fun cache! Came out on this track specifically for these awesome themed caches at the recommendation of a friend. Unfortunately the log paper is wet and starting to fall apart.
A really good container. Nice quick find... gave me an excuse to wait around for the army of muggles ahead of me to move around the corner. Tftc!
Another in the series of un- frog-ettable caches. This one is definitely worth the hunt. Waterproof log paper was full, additional paper was sodden and ripping. I signed it carefully and left a page from my waterproof notebook for future cachers. Thanks Mr & Mrs SAROC.
Somehow I had trouble with this one and the wife had to come dig him out. Once you see him you will know that really should not happen!
Together with TEMBO! I had a really interesting geocaching-trip today. We could find some geocaches, met some locals and had a great talk to them.
Concerning this geocache I want to say thanks because we had much fun in searching and finding this geocache! The cache made our trip even more interesting!

Windy but fine midweek bike ride around the loop. Enjoyed the cache - which is in good order. TFTC
Fourth find find for the day. This is one of our favourite walks. I do like this range of containers. TFTC.
With such glorious Spring weather on offer, I decided to have the afternoon off off in order to travel down to Porirua and Tawa in order to grab my 2000th cache (one I had in mind) and at the same time have a crack at getting the 32 caches I needed to complete 50 for the month of September (a personal requirement) by taking a decent walk around the headland at Titahi Bay starting at the Titahi Bay Boating Club and walking around to Whitireia Park before cutting back through past the Golf Club.
In the end I managed to get 30 caches, the last 8 or 9 being found in the dark, before I called time on my attempt knowing I would be able to complete my task over the coming weekend, so all in all I had a great afternoon in the sun, which is what a great deal of Geocaching means for me.
This one was a relatively straightforward find once I had sussed out exactly where to search. I was rewarded with a very nice looking cache container, and the attentions of a curious dog which appeared out of nowhere and wanted to know what I was doing. The owner then appeared and so I had to explain what I was up to, which was well received. I'm not sure we have a new cacher, but at least she seemed interested. Unfortunately the logsheet is completely soaked, and unsignable, so I have taken a photo as proof of find.
Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache.

# 279 Mum is catching up on all my logs. So i would have found this cache with Gr33nslime at some point. Im only three but hoping that I have more found more caches than weeks alive! Thanks for the cache. i enjoy swapping all the toys!
Hopefully mum got this one right, she just published 40 logs that werent the right log! Clearly mum does not know how to use GSAK!

# 1652 Out on a mission with the DangerBOY today to pick up a few caches to help me along for the 35 required for the Mystery at the Museum Challenge. We started on the balance bike but after a short while we were in the pram, and boy that was fun to push around this track. A great selection of very cool cache containers - i think i will use up all my favourite points on this trail! Thanks to SAROC and others for a great adventure, that kept the DangerBOY amused for the whole three hours it took!
Nice easy one, that avoided and climbing in completely inappropriate footwear. DangerSAM enjoyed the container and counting all the shapes.

Found the cache on 7/7/19 but didn't log it on the app another great cache with the rest of them in this series. TFTC.
Quick find. Lots of muggle around today. Logbook is full and quite wet. TFTC. Sherlock Hood and Squirrel.
Ste found while jess watched the weka gp past. Love the container. Fav Point.
A walk around the peninsula today, collecting caches.
Another quick find, once we were directed to the right GZ by some fellow catchers coming the other way.

Found with dbants and NikiHo1. 5/7 found this morning. Met some other cachers at this one on the way back, I think the log is very wet on this one - carefully signed in pencil TFTC
Me and a another fellow cacher (Juddy) decided to plan a weekend away, so we met part of the way to Wellington, we stopped off to help a fellow geocacher then it was on the road again we arrived at the accommodation site about 8pm set up for the night then ready for the adventure the next two days. Morning hit and it was time to get set for the day, Hit the road again headed for Owhiro Bay , what an amazing day we deffinately chose the right weekend for geocaching and adventure. Unloaded the 4 wheeler and prepared for today's journey as far as we could depending on tides and time. Heaps of muggles around hard to be undetected and not look out of place people we all acknowledging you as you passed them by, great atmosphere made the day so cool nice people to talk to even got offered Paua to take home but unfortunately we had no where to cook it, we helped them by transporting some Paua from A to B. Managed to get all the caches but unfortunately had one Did not find for the day disappointing but just a bit hard for us to get to. We stopped at Tongue point for lunch a well deserved rest by this time. Then we continued on our way got a few more caches then got to a point that we could not gain access any further without entering the sea. Finally it was time to head back to the van load up the 4 wheeler in the van and headed out for dinner and then realized I had left my wallet behind at the accommodation, My mate paid for me luckily. Finally back to the accommodation for a shower and a rest an early night was had. left nothing took nothing and signed log and placed cache back where it was found. Thank you for placing a cache out here we really had a great day if it wasnt for caching we would probably never come out here and missed out on this amazing place and adventure.
Well its now sunday and we are still in the wellington area only moved a few kilometre's north to this vicinity as we were staying in the local NZMCA park and today we are venturing in this area to pick up some of the caches around whiteria park.
So it's now on to the next one.
Thanks for the placement and the smiley.

It was in the first place I looked! I put that down to good luck rather than good management. The log was rather wet and I dried it and the container as best I could. TFTC
Our penultimate find for the day. I ventured in and out to sign the log in-between dog walkers- it's handy having a lookout! Thanks for another cool container
Great cache container! Blustery wind hasn't stopped us or the other walkers today. Tftc
Finally caching up on logs been overseas. Enjoyed our caching around Wellington. TFTC
We have moved north after the MEGA and decided to do the bike ride around . . Caching with Dodge1923. Awesome area, nice to see all the families out enjoying the beautiful day . Really enjoyed all the themed caches on our way around...Thanks for the cache
Staying in the area for the Mega so decided to do this cache collection walk around the bay. It's a great walk, thanks for all the hides along the way.
This ones gets a FP for its great container, the great location and the great series.

I remember this one
Found while either going to the Mega or attending the Mega or coming home from the Mega.
We left home mid day on Wednesday heading for the Mega and arrived at the Cossie club car park late Friday afternoon where we stayed all weekend with kind permission from the club. It was a great weekend meeting others and going out geocaching including a trek up into the hills above Nae Nae. I really enjoyed that trek as the caches were placed usually within 200 m from each other. It was great to get to the top of the ridge and return most of the way down via another track. Unfortunatly we didn't have time to stay and ride the river trails but we will be back
Many thanks to all the C.O.s who place caches around the country for us to find and enjoy this hobby/sport. with out people like You Caching wouldn't exist

First time exploring out this way! Thoroughly enjoyed all the caches along the way Only had 2 out of 20 i couldnt find. Good hint and co-ordinates. TFTC!
Another one down! Weather is packing in so better get a move on. Love the container!!
A cool cloudy day with rain in Wellington and showers expected here so not too many people around in the park this Saturday morning.
Easy find. Love the container!

Out enjoying a night walk around the loop track tonight to get my hidden creatures numbers up. Not to difficult to find. TFTC.
What a cool cache! Quick find with the Geofamily as we walked the Te Onepoto loop track trying to get hidden creatures souvenirs. TFTC
It's the second week of the school holidays and my kids have cabin fever. I decided to bring them out here for a bit of an adventure. I thought some fresh air and geocaching (away from the modem and their devices) might be a nice change for them. For the second time this week, I came out to this area while my wife stayed home to do whatever she likes for a few hours.
I had roughly the same plan as last time I was out here. My idea was for us to find as many caches as we could along the trail in the available daylight. We picked up where I left off last time and carried on around the headland.
Being a very pleasant Wednesday afternoon the track was quite busy with people and dogs. In fact, the weather was so nice (sun shining, not much wind) it didn't seem like Winter at all. My kids have not been on this track before. They had a great time throwing stones, running, jumping and laughing. Good times.
The cache is in good condition. A very cool container. My kids loved it.
Thank you

It took a little bit of checking various likely locations before the find was made here, but we were enjoying a leisurely stroll on a beautiful winter's day so were happy to take our time.
We certainly knew we'd found it when the container was spotted.
Thanks for setting this up Mr & Mrs SAROC

Found! Had a great walk around today, first series I have done in NZ since being away for four years
On a walk around the inlet with the dogs this morning. This was one of the caches around here that I hadn’t yet done. As I hadn’t planned on looking for any, didn't have a pen with me. Failed to spot it straightaway because I didn’t look closely enough initially. However it was there to be found. I have a photo as evidence! Nifty setup! #1747. TFTC.
I enjoyed a very pleasant late afternoon stroll to find this today. With 15 Planetary Pursuit points up for grabs that would get me to 500 and Pluto how could I stay away. A silver lining to the DNF the first time I looked. A very nicely made container as well. I'll give it another Favourite Point for a number of reasons.
Cheers and TFTC

This cache was missing when I last came along here nearly 2 years ago -the only one in the area. Pleased to finally be able to complete the series!
The views across the inlet are beautiful with lots to see. Cache all ok here. There certainly are plenty of prickly ones. Thanks for bringing us here Mr and Mrs SAROC
Very peaceful here..love the moored boats and general outlook ...enjoying the series thanks for the novel placement
That took way longer then it should. I knew I was in the right place.. just blind! TFTC
In Wellington for a few days catching up with friends and family. With a few hours up my sleeve today, I have Whitireia Park on my radar - so lets go for a walk.
Great container here. Tagged then on my way again. Cheers
