No Luck for as

With Gap (of Fap and Gap), ABCDF4, and eyespyben... We were keen to investigate the nighttime event in Totara Park. In the meantime, we needed a few distractions to amuse ourselves. Finding some caches should do the trick...

This one beat us today... If it’s still there, it’s hidden well.

Did not spend much time here after previous DNFs. Thanks anyway.

Made a very good attempt to find this one including climbing, found many potential hiding spots however no luck, maybe need a check and replacement?

Needs checking, definitely nothing here we

After dropping off my hostkid in School the weather changed to sunshine so I decided to go out and finish the Wottie serie.
Hm climed up the tree as far as possible but only find two empty potential hiding spots...

I had surgery last week, so I’m still not allowed to climb trees will have to come back another day... I did give it serious thought to do a bit of climbing and have a look, but the head finally overulled the body's enthusiasm... or maybe it was the other way round...

Out in the area with Jag50 and Aiden29. Mrs Jag did some climbing but despite an extensive search we came up empty handed

Out with Merlot58 and Jag50 tackling the Wot Wots in the area. We had a good search from both up and above but couldn't locate.

Out with Merlot58 and Aiden29 we spent quite a bit of time searching high and low for this cache. We found a couple of likely hiding spots, but unfortunately did not locate the cache.

Was up in Auckland for the day and when it was time to head home, so was everyone else so decided it was better use of my time to go find a few caches while the roads settled down.
The light was fading by now, so it was time to get the torch out to hunt. Checked a couple of spots relating to the hint before I found a place that looked really likely. Still took a few more minutes before it was uncovered. What awesome camo, worth a fav point for the effort.

Very wet, very slippery and neither avoyager or myself wanted to risk life and limb or indeed a dunking in the stream so we gave this one a miss. Will come back with monkey boy (Ryan) sometime

Shame.....one dnf on the whole trail...
Tree climbing not my thing..
..this is my second tree monkey failure this week.
..

sad to see all the land next door cut up for more houses. nice area for a walk.

Wot shall we do today? Wot about a vist to Wottle Downs, eh Wot?
Took a few minutes to decide where we needed to be for this one. One of us took the high road, and the other stayed on the low road, but was the one who spied the likely hiding spot. The camoed cache was retrieved and passed down to the other to do the formalities. This cache is weathering very well - the camo is superb. Another Favourite point.

Hmm, not a fan of heights, so this was a bit of a mission. I know, I should harden up! Got there in the end, although very s-l-o-w-l-y. Thanks.

Out and about after work this evening. Thought I would avoid the worst of the traffic with some geocaching. I parked up and followed the path around to GZ. I had stopped by here on an earlier visit but it was pouring with rain so I declined to climb. No issue with rain on this visit, so up I went. I soon found an object of interest, but it took some serious examination to confirm the find and get the log signed. Nicely done on the camo. Nice spot here, next to the stream. All up, well worth a favourite point. Cheers for the cache placement!

CITO'd our way to here along the trail and then had some acrobatic help from Bennett24 to get the cache. Back on the ground, this one took me a few minutes to get the log to come out from its hiding spot. TFTC.

Getting the cache was no problem, realising I was holding the cache took a little longer than it should of - had a good laugh once I figured it

Another great find while holidaying in the area. A good camo on this one.

Wet slippery bark and not great shoes, can wait for another day.

All intact. Gettin the hang of your caches g-2. Love the hides. Hate the smaĺl logs

When I came by here the GPS did a merry dance with me, I wot not in the mood for dancing, no where near dark enough to hide my super cool moves! So I left my GPS to do it's thing while I went on a sort of wild goose chase up a hill. The hint implied as much but as such, the hint was vaguely vague on such matters as such! So ignoring my GPS which was now vaguely in a world of it's own I applied some arithmatic... no.. awithmitic...no... arithmitc... anyway one of of those words, and thought outside the circle or square to come up with a vague idea it might be 'up there' so up there I went, with a certain bravado that is unusually not me! I found something like others before me did that I initially picked up and put away until my super sleuth eyes went **WOT is THAT?** *Wot can it be I asks of myself?* I saw some entry point and managed to pry the log from it's grip and sign myself in. Congrats G, I think this might be your best so far on this type of hide, I am very familiar with this type but it very nearly fooled me.

Looked, but did not find, then did number1 in the series and headed back.
Second tree climb (what did the passing cyclist think) and another Cracow.
Thanks very much.

Got new tires on my bike and needed to test them out somewhere not too remote (in case I did it wrong and they blew up). A bunch of caches along a path in the middle of a 28 degree day seemed like the perfect time LOL. Really really loved this one, fantastic spot for a cache and another great camo job! Thanks much

Well this one was had us hunting high and low. This lady is not a fan of heights so after a period of time SethRaven and I decided it was time to hunt for some other caches. Having then met fellow cachers at another cache we all decided to return to try again, I won't share too much more of the tale so as to not provide a spoiler for others. Was a great team effort and it was great for me to cache with some other and see them in action. Great camo once again. So FTF with SethRaven, Mike-miss, Keylev and crew. TFTC.

#FTF 6

Headed to this one in convoy from a previous wattie with keylev, crager, laval, Sethraven and Fencarrows. We made our way to GZ and soon spotted where we needed to look. Myself and Mr keylev headed up to look while the others shared ideas and offered advice from below. We spent some time here looking in all sorts of places and even handling the cache without realising due to the unbelievably good camo.

While searching, the phones went off and a new wottie was published nearby. We headed to [Wottie Wot Wot #1](http://coord.info/GC68GXD) before coming back here for another look. Once back, mr keylev had made the find and we got another joint FTF here too.

Wow glyn, this is some exceptional camo used here. We had handled the cache earlier without even realising. TFTC!

Sitting around home watching some doco on Oak Tree Island in Nova Scotia when Mother Fencarrows phones and says there are some caches released in Wattle Downs, shall I come and pick you up? Sure I say, down loaded the caches . . . . . Mother Fencarrows turns up (minus the kids) and we head off. Oh look who is the CO, these will be goodies . . . . . This is the first one we attempt . . . . . . and I really wasn't too keen to climb to a new height and nor was Mother Fencarrows . . . . and the mosquitoes were putting me off my game!!! We leave in dismay . . . . and whilst walking back to the car Mother Fencarrows advises that some of the others have been found already We did meet up with some fellow cachers and all came back here to search again . . . . . . . feeling more positive now as we had some cachers with way more of a height advantage than ourselves Mr Keylev had handled the cache container and said 'nah" and I had said take a good look at it . . . . . but nah. Oh another new notification says Mrs Keylev and we go off to claim that one (leaving Mr Keylev guarding the GZ) and whilst walking back to this one Mrs Keylev gets a phone call from Mr Keylev to advise he has now found the cache!!!! A joint FTF with the Keylev family, Fencarrows and Mike-Miss. Another superb camo by the CO . . . .

Was just about to begin making dinner when bling bling 3 new caches in a row not too far from home - lets go!! Took about 18minutes to arrive and we were unsure whether there would be any FTF left - how wrong we were we had the place to ourselves!

This was another tricky one. Arrived and went up but couldn't spot the cache. Still well aware that the bamboo one was still waiting for us we headed back there and met up with the others. Made that find and all headed back this way to try again. Then got called away to #1 as it was published whilst we were here and returned determined to find it.

Turns out the camo was awesome and we had handled it on the first visit but not realised it!!! Another favourite point!!

Thanks for the cache. (FTF) #64

Found whilst out with keylev. Thanks for the cache.

Found whilst out with keylev. Thanks for the cache.

Must remember not to cache in jandals! Gerald soon spotted the cache as it was similar to the last find. Signing them as G&A as the log is so small. Thanks for another great cache

Found, log to follow
