Witche Walks This Way (Waitakere) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By witchegurl on 20-Nov-15. Waypoint GC674XC

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.

Hi witchegurl

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Was having a quick look as muggles were across the road but found nothing. Will have to come back

Honestly, I think it's still here. No time for proper search this morning however.

Didn't spend much time here as we think the area where cache is, is overgrown. Perhaps cache owner could check that cache is still accessible thanks

I am going back for another look! Wish me luck friends!

Not obvious, areas quite grown over with ivy now

Really hard, close to a house and the owners are not friendly!!

Today I had a bit of time between work commitments and heading to the airport and home, so I decided to head westish to find a few caches out this way. TFTC, Biggles.

Heading out to Green Bay with merlot58 and finding a few caches along the way. Stopped by GZ and were surprised to spot 2 bunnies on the grass berm. Made a nice quick find, although approached from the wrong side first.

Not too hard

Nice easy find tftc!

Took a little bit of searching but after looking at the right angle, hayleyfcy was able to spot it.

Once we had the right tree, the find came soon after. Tricky with the ivy though. Tftc

We were looking in the wrong 'ivy tree' at first but then we found the right tree.

Found by mister e on the second sweep

Maybe it's gone?

All good here

Good hiding spot

DNF

You're right, this doesn't look like a park in the dark - I must admit I walked past it and had to backtrack slightly - happy once I noted the parkbench. In the dark at first I wasn't too quick to pick up the hint item but once I did I was able to have a good hunt for where it was hiding. Ended up putting my hand on it and feeling it rather than seeing it. After I retrieved the log, signed it and put it back I managed to drop my pen. That proved harder in the dark so the cavalry was called in to do that second hunt at GZ and she proved up to the task. Thanks for placing this cache, quite a surprising little park here and we were serenaded by the babble of the water through the nearby creek/culvert.

Out and about taking advantage of the nice weather to head out to the west coast. Thought I would stop for this one along the way. May as well find the first cache for today. I parked up next to GZ and got to searching. GZ was the second spot I checked, but I missed it on the first pass. Got it on the second. Cheers for the cache placement!

We weren't able to complete the nearby Bunnings cache due to too many muggles so we headed onto to this one eager to grab a cache. Walked though the narrow walkway and located the pocket park in question. Once there the cache was found without difficulty. Thanks for placing this one.

Went for a drive around trying to grab a few easy caches. Thanks.

Its almost time for a lunch stop, so one more cache to find with rebel98

The GPS had us further in the reserve, so whilst rebel98 was buried in the bushes, I walked off, and the GPS settled in another spot. Soon after, I called out to say "I had the cache". Thanks for the hide, and bringing us here.

Found with Rustynz nice small resting area quick find after gps settled signed log and now off for lunch Tftc

Took a while to find the right tree, then there it was.

Took a while fossiking around in the vegetation till i saw it right in front of me. Nice one.

Quick find in the rain. TFTC

Found quickly after locating the correct tree. Spent too long at the wrong "ivy tree"...
TFTC and bringing people to this park

Found by touch as it was late at night and had no torch. TFTC.

Out and about with Pagenz picking up drivebys as the ground was pretty soggy. No worries here. Thanks

I m so glad it was not as muddy as it could have been with the recent rain - as it was straight out caching still in my work clothes and shoes. T4tc

Easy child friendly

A quick find for my wife. Cool little spot. Tftc

Was having a little trouble until I stood back and reassessed. TFTC

Another great find while holidaying in the area. A nice quick find here.
TFTC

Carried on my local caching session with this one - tiny, tiny park but a good hint and coordinates and the cache was in hand super quickly. Another good hide. TFTC

Over this way finalising a TM purchase so took the opportunity to grab a couple of cache. Nice quick find a no one around. TFTC

Awesome cache & hiding spot in the cam at eye hight TFTC

I was heading to a friend's place in New Lynn so made a slight detour to go past this cache. A super quick find for me today. TFTC

Great location thanks :]

Some clever hides out this way today

Tftc

Decided to get out and about early this morning to grab some westie caches and to beat the heat so we headed over to New Lynn to explore. MrNZT exited the car and made the find while MrsNZT turned the car around to make a quick get away. Found the cache as per the hint and we were on our way again. TFTC!

Had to pickup a cache to keep the daily streak. Took a second to spot the hide, had a little time though as i had to wait for a muggle domestic to end. Nice spot.

Found this on the way home from picking up supplies for dinner. Its very nicely hidden, but once I was in the correct position I spotted it quickly. TFTC!

We had failed to find this cache a few weeks ago. One of us returned for another attempt this evening after having seen that the CO had checked on the cache and tied it in place.
Searched again in the places we had looked previously then moved around to a different side of GZ. Tried to not use the torch in this fairly public spot and luckily the cache was soon found by feel. TFTC.

I must have been blind the last time I was here, but today I spotted the cache in ten seconds. TFTC.

Joined up with yorkshirekiwi83 this afternoon to find a few Westie caches to kill some time. Approached GZ and found the cache soon enough. TFTC!

Vistra text me and said he was going out to grab a handful of of caches, I asked for him to swing by and pick me up on route and I would join him, so we decided to grab some pretty close to home.

Nice quick find, TFTC


[u][Teal]New Zealand Geocaching Adventure 2016 Labour weekend in Turangi visit [url=http://www.nzgeocachingadventure.nz/]New Zealand Geocaching Adventure 2016[/Url] [/Teal][u]

This was my third visit here but the other two times the house next door had painters looking straight at the gz so I moved on! ! Quick find this time! Tftc

#1600. And another ton notched up for the GSEL team... Out early today picking up caches before the rain sets in. Stopped nearby and saw a likely hiding spot from the car so grabbed the bag and headed that way. But the GPS suggested a different hiding spot. As it was raining lightly I checked the hint and then zeroed in on the cache. Quickly found. Back to the car for the signing. Nice dry logbook. Closed up the container and returned the cache as found. Thanks for the cache witchegurl.

I have had a few goes at this one but always thwarted by neighbours. Today had to wait for a neighbour to unload his car, but the wait wasn't too long.

TFTC

Another small park discovered! Thx for bringing me here and tftc

Had popped in so that speedhog62 could find this cache. I realised two things... the camo was coming off this cache and... it was not where i had originally hid it... so i have attached it and replaced the container. Will update description when i can... hint still applies.

Logged and found with witchegurl, when she wanted to do some maintenance on it.
Thanks for the early wake up call this morning, btw. :p

19:42
Well, to be honest I could argue that this is a "Perfect place for a cache". But, never mind

Thanks for the cache!
#3554

Awesome...I just love IVY...NOT....had to do a bit of searching, cache was eventually found on the ground near aforementioned Ivy Tree...I placed it out of main view from street back where I thought it might have come from so it might need a look and a re-site...cheers V

Quick park & grab.

Nice hide took a bit of hunting. Had to time right as well cause there seemed to be a lot of activity around here. Tftc

Another cache before dinner at Bricklane restaurant with a few cachers. I had no issues with any neighbours this evening, still daylight. They must have known I was coming and knew to keep out of my way.... Thanks for the drive-by and another park I never knew existed.

#362 Today is Geodad's Birthday some did a nearby cache with GeoKids, GeoDog and GeoNana. Had right area but took a little longer than it should have to find. Nice hide
TFTC

Phew ,,,, finally got this tonight after the nearby GC Event ! Thanks witchegurl. Funny pocket park for sure ...... Seems to be a really busy house directly across the road ! People partying on deck and moving cars around....At least I got to finally sign ! Beautiful Ivy tree !

Parked my car as a screen and soon was signing the log. Tftc

Not too many neighbours around so after a quick search i soon had it in hand. A strange place for a small reserve.tftc

busy sanding at home but this was to close to ignore, so shot down the road to find Harisee at gz looking lost her gps not working so my ph was called into action, a quick redirection check and the cache was soon in hand joint FTF with Harisee, FTF # 10 Tftc Lokky 1 24 November 2015 10:35

was at Totara health center when this cache got published. soon done with the formalities and headed to GZ with Geo kids in the car. it was all clear.. but phewww... gps is not working. waited for someone else to join.. and within minutes lokky1 arrives. he soon finds the cache and we signed a joined FTF. #13[FTF]

Nice quick grab this evening on the way home from work. Managed to park 10 meters from GZ. TFTC

Parked right beside GZ and began the hunt. This could be a nightmare. For some reason despite the later hour there were a lot of neighbors around. Manged to find quickly and log before we were challenged.

How annoying ....neighbours over the road are very watchful....even came outside...I'll need to come back in day time ...
