This cache is definitely missing, and has been replaced a few times before, so it is time for it to go.

Hi HeMaLuDy

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.

Regards
TheCoddiwompler

Un happy was looking for a while
 
24-Apr-22
No luck for me today, had a good look where the GPS was directing me to and checked out another possible location nearby. CO may want to check when next in the area.
 
13-Mar-22
This was a DNF for me today. I was under a time constraint so couldn't look as long as I would have liked, but I will definitely be back another day to find this and the others in the park I didn't get to.
 
05-Feb-22
Were at the table underneath the tree. The hint "Nano" is too cryptic
 
22-Jan-22
I checked all four locations but didn't see anything that didn't belong.

Looked quite hard but it was getting darker and we still needed to travel for most of two hours to get home so in the end, having looked at both obvious and unobvious spots, we gave up the hunt. Another time maybe.

Just another for the showgrounds

This one took longer than it should have. We even texted the owner to confirm location....yeap….right spot. It was the first place I looked....but must have had a "male" look, as Antnz had another look....and then BOOM...found it.

Find number 5981. It is Sunday but not a sole at the skateboard park. Thankfully as it took me some time to find it. Natural camouflage (spider webs) made it difficult to spot. Signed and popped it back ready for the next. (Spider) Thank you for the placement.

Out caching for the day in the Clevdon Showgrounds. Nice to find the place desserted on a weekday. Only a couple of dog walkers. Thanks for hiding darthcacher1
 
02-Jul-19
Out for a walk around the Clevedon Showgrounds on this windy afternoon. When we had first arrived at the Showgrounds we had made the mistake of walking along the road to approach the Skate park and found ourselves on the wrong side of a fence. Walking back towards our car from Horse Sports, we are now better positioned to hunt for the cache. Once there we made a quick find. Thanks.
 
20-Mar-19
Successful find! The smallest one we've ever found! Cheers.
 
10-Mar-19
So tiny! Almost overlooked but caught my eye at the last minute! Great little spot Smile tftc!

08-Jan-19
Took awhile but found it
 
29-Dec-18
A quick and easy find on a circuit of the showgrounds. I managed to squeeze under the gate to get back to the car! I missed the last one in the middle as there was a worker in their truck right at GZ. Next time. Thanks

TIme to head back west to catch up with family.

Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

I had been helping to run a youth camp out at Camp Adair for The Salvation Army over the weekend... and as I am currently trying to maintain a daily geo-streak I needed to make a find before time ran out. That is how I came to be looking for this particular cache. So after making sure all the kids were on their way home, and after packing up all of the gear, I arrived here just on dark. Thankfully I was able to make a nice quick find! Yes... the geo-streak lives on! So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next finder. So thank you darthcacher1 for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so Smile
 
Another nice day of caching for the Hidden Creatures challenge. We also found ourselves at the end of the showground series on the wrong side of the fence an had to go round the bowling club. But then it was a fast and easy find. Very nice caching series! I enjoyed it very much, nice creative hides! TFTC

Another afternoon spent down south collecting caches for the Hidden Creatures event. Find 11 more caches to unlock the World Turtle souvenir. Time to enjoy a nice walk in the winter sunshine around the Cleavedon Showgrounds. Initially on the wrong side of the fence so we neded to walk back around the bowling club. Quick find after that. TFTC

Took a third set of eyes (Master10) to find this one but he wouldn't put hands through cobwebs. Good job Master4 doesn't mind them! TFTC

Almost no one around on a Monday morning, and was heading back to where I'd parked after collecting all the other caches in the reserve. As I approached the GZ, I suddenly realized I was on the wrong side of the fence, and the gate was locked so had to go a little further around to get there. Had an idea where it might be hidden which quickly proved to be correct once I reached the GZ. TFTC
 
10-Jun-18
Neat little hiding spot
 
27-May-18
Great cache, interesting find when searching in the dark.
 
19-May-18

Thanks for replacing this !
Good to get 3 here today in this park.
 
12-Apr-18
Visited Clevedon Showgrounds today to find two easy Caches.
This was the first one. Need a Minute than I could find it.
Thanks for hiding!
 
On an early morning caching mission, 2 of the clan hatched a plan to make an early morning trip north and to find enough caches to qualify for the Planetary Pursuit. Careful planning was made and we had a very enjoyable hunting out the caches. Thanks also go out to all the cache owners who have placed and maintained the caches.

I was out in this part of Auckland collecting the Scenic Route series and popped into the show ground to collect these ones. I had the place to myself as it was raining. Nice quick find. TFTC.

Just a but muddy getting to the cache. At least this one wasn't quite so muddy. TFTC
 
03-Sep-17
Forcing the kids away from their screens, making master 16 do some of his Duke of Edinburgh Skill component. No where to take a seat here as the seat is missing. Master 14 got his hands on this is one first. Everyone thankful to be heading back to the car as the feet are now very wet and Panda0505 rather muddy too. TFTC

13-Aug-17
We attended the Geocachers Anonymous breakfast this morning at Dennys and then headed out to find some caches towards our Geocaching badge. This was a cool little hide. We are here to find a few caches in the park today. Thanks for the hide. Smile
 
06-Aug-17
I was driving back through Clevedon and decided to grab a couple of caches while explaining geocaching to a muggle friend. This was a quick and easy find. TFTC!

I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.

Today the target is one and this is it. Thanks for replacing.

Cheers for the cache.
 
18-Jun-17
Replaced cache container. HAPPY GEOCACHING!
 
15-Apr-17
Currently moving house. I will replace it when sorted.

If I'm looking for a Nono, I don't think it's here
 
10-Mar-17
A DNF for me here. The gps took me to a table with no seats - did not find a cache. Went and searched the other three tables and still no cache found.
 
19-Feb-17
On Mr beconazes birthday. Pretty straight forward find as we knew pretty much what we should be looking for. Thanks darthcacher1
 
09-Feb-17
After a previous log saying that the log sheet was nearly full, we were in the showgrounds for one of the mini-cachers sports practice and offered to replace the log sheet for the CO - and sign it at the same time. Found with purply.
 
04-Feb-17
A couple of cricketers starting to gather by the nets but they weren't interested in what I was up to. Log very nearly full, could do with a replacement.
 
30-Jan-17
There was absolutely no one around anywhere today so easy to make a quick find. Seemed strange to be so quiet, but an excellent time for caching. TFTC Big Grin
 
24-Jan-17
Nice quick find! Thanks for the cache
 
24-Jan-17
We had been walking around the showgrounds picking up caches along the way and enjoying having the area to ourselves but this changed when we approached GZ and found a large number of skaters displaying their talents.
Fortunately they were all so intent on what they were doing none of them noticed what we were up to and we made a quick find.
Thanks for bringing us here, a lovely place for an evening walk.

Great one

Another year and the first trip for the team out and about while none of us had to work the following day. So todays little jaunt was to be up and arounf the Clevedon Maretai areas to see what we could get before sleep took hold of us. On this adventure in attenence were HKCB, iammrwalker and RWIMF. Departing Hamilton at 7pm after doing the pickups it was with high spirits and high expectations for another good caching year with plenty of miles to be covered before returning home tomorrow morning.

We hoped to get about 50 for the evening and my final taly was 57 finds along with 2 DNF's, not bad for a bunch of beginners.
What a great start, soon started to get into the swing of things and before long we were coolkng with gas.

THanks to all the cache owners whom placed the caches for us to find this evening. Am sure that we will be back again soon to continue our travels
 
29-Dec-16
At a recent local Geocaching event I mentioned in passing it had been a while seen we had done any night missions and maybe we could head out for a few hours one evening once the kids were tucked up in bed. Somehow that evolved into me jumping into a car with Cats&Dragons, HKCB and RWIMF at 7pm on the 29th and hopping out of the car eleven hours later at 6am on the 30th. We signed the cache logs RICH an acronym of Geocaching names. I didn’t get as many finds as the others as I crashed and fell asleep in the car for a couple of hours sometime between 3 and 4am. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing and maintaining all the geocaches we found on our trip and for my companions for making the evening so enjoyable. The skate park looked like fun, somewhere I could have relived my youth. TFTC
 
29-Dec-16
quick stop in Clevedon. looked for 6 caches got 5
 
29-Dec-16
I received a phone call about 2pm asking what I was doing in the evening. I said nothing, so the boys said "come caching!" So we did, leving Hamilton at 7pm to spend the evening picking up caches. This was No1 of the evening. All logs signed RICH.
 
29-Dec-16
It's been a while since we have done a night mission, so with a few ideas thrown about we settled on heading to the Beachlands/Maraetai area for a bit of a clean out and to locate the two night caches in the area. The team consisted of RWIMF, iammrwalker, Cats&Dragons and myself (HKCB), which meant we signed the logs as RICH an accornym of our caching names.

Leavng home about 7pm we cached through the night, with the goal to reach my 7000th find, unfortunately the late night counting wasn't accurate enough which meant I was 1 short of that goal, but still 67 finds for the night wasn't a bad effort. We all had a great night, and found a handful of really good geocaches as well. A big thanks to all the CO's for the placements.
 
28-Dec-16
Hard to get to the skatepark
 
27-Dec-16
A quick sit down at the skate park and rewarded with a cache.
Tftc.
 
26-Dec-16
Approaching the skate park we noticed it was being used by two young lads. Never mind I thought the old shoelace trick or failing that the dog needs to do something trick. Cache retrieved and replaced while husband was a block.
