By JayDubENT on 17-Apr-16. Waypoint GC6FTNE

Yes i did find this still in place although it took a little while feeling and hunting leaved it where i found it as per hint with a concrete rock over it.

Thought this was going to be a DNF but then my muggle hubbie found it! Rather wet to be foraging around among the plants but glad to claim the smiley. TFTC

Been here many times, didnt realise there was a cache! Great find! Co-ordinates are off, but the hint is good! (: get low! TFTC! Beauty spot!

Second attempt and GPS puts me in the middle of an open gravel area. Saw four areas I could make fit the hint at a stretch and none came up trumps.
Might have to park this one for now since it is a little out of the way.

Reasonably quick find. TFTC.

Tricky!!! Fun.

Nice! Great one!

TFTC

a day off so off for some caches , just the dragon no gem, she stuck working, missed this one in the past but now have it, TFTC

Did awhile ago but forgot to log tftc

2nd night trying to find it! Finally got it

Second time looking for this one, and found! great spot

Couldn’t find

Found it safe and sound. Nice hide. Tftc

No joy today unfortunately. Had a good search along the hinted area (I do dislike the smell of agapantha juice) but alas no result.

After reviewing comments, still no luck on tracking cache. Scoured the area but has us beat today. We'll be back for this one.

Logging old caches as deleted app and it did not save when I reloaded

Up in the 'Naki with MacGyverson for a few days to catch up with friends and geocache as we go - really enjoying seeing some new ground. No one about as we parked in the car park and wandered to GZ where the cache was quickly in hand. Signed log and left as found. Thanks for the placement JayDubENT.

Nice and easy TFTC

I have to admit that this took some finding. On the first visit my GPSr had me about ten metres away, and while there were a good number of hidey-holes none of them seemed big enough. I did have a brief search near the right spot but was unsuccessful and because time was getting on I left.

On the second visit I knew where to look, but still found it a challenge as the container was wedged quite deeply and I only just managed to snag it with my fingertips. Getting the log out was tricky as well, as it had sort of sprung apart and locked itself in.

Thanks for the cache.

no luck for me, but was getting on dark, so will return and try again

Managed to survive the family Christmas and now a chance to head away for a couple of days to New Plymouth with Mrs Dragon so that we can take a turn around the mountain and also make the most of the Pukekura Park Lights Festival.
Fourth of the trip and located while we were doing searchs for long dead relatives in cemetry's. Having been to Te Henui Cemetry we were headed for Waitara, Huirangi and Lepperton. Interesting to see the changes around the area as I can stil recall when the entire area was being developed from a time when the Quarry was just across the river

Thanks for the placement and the cache

Cool

A quick find on our way back home before the kids finish school. it's been a cool mums days out. TFTC.

A quick find last night on the way back home from a trip north. All quite at GZ but there were a few dog walkers approaching and something wizzing behinds the gates. The cache was soon located with the clue, signed and back before being compromised. Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. Thanks for the cache from Blenheim Bear!

Found it

Tftc great find

Found with help today tftc

We were in New Plymouth for the weekend especially to collect some caches and saw this one on the map and thought lets go get that one we havn't been to this area before might be interesting. once we got here it was a bust wee area lots was happening with go karts and water sports a well designed recreational area. Never knew it was here and apparently has been for a very long time. We found the cache very quickly and had a look around then continued on our way to collect some more caches in the area. thank you for bring us here and placing a cache. TFTC

Nice and quick, tftc

Nice find with a fellow GC. Thanks for the cache

Took the track from Manukorihi under the road to the Go Kart track. Unsuccessful on a previous visit with a muggle around, this time not one in sight. A short search soon had the cache in hand. tftc

Nurf him

Continued my walk from Manukorihi under the main road towards the GZ along another path new to me. It was a lovely, quiet afternoon, too, just right for finding this cache - no muggles! The hint took me straight to the hot spot. TFTC

Can anyone tell us roughly how far out the GPS is

In Taranaki for the weekend and collecting a few caches along the way with tmann421.

Lots of fun had with the variety of caches in the area. TFTC

Another good find while geocaching in the area with Just-Lookin.

We soon had the cache located - co-ords ok, hint makes it very easy to find.
SL TFTC

Third time lucky. In the same spot I had been searching!! Finally can tick this one off

Found today, second attempt awesome weather for caching! TFTC

Awesome, had me and my friend confused then we found( Daniel and Logan)

And a great looking track too!

TFTC

Nice stop with no one around. Not afraid to get dirty

Another quick stop

Didnt pick the best weather to search for this one, thanks

Easy find after reading clue

good hide TFTC

Second time back today and finally found!

Got down and dirty but found the brute. Thank goodness this was looking to be our first miss. Great find

Found with Trayc.g and TeamAlmawoody, logging now as I have my own account. TFTC

First time for us but couldn't find!

Too wet for much of a look today

Finally claimed it

Must have touched the container several times before I realised what it was. TFTC

No luck today. Fairly confident we were in the right area too.

Found it. Thanks

Despite searching everywhere and enlisting the help from a fellow geocache I was unable to locate this one will have to come back and search another day

Took a decent tumble into the bog while searching. Nope thats enough for me today. Too many 3 steps here to narrow it down

Found it tftc

Came back to find this cache as it had been muggled last time. A few muggles nearby this evening, left for another time.

Of all the days to go it had to be a carting one. GZ was right under the eye of a carter working on his machine so didn't go searching around. The air was full of high octane fumes!!.

Cache has been replaced. Check description

Cache down!! Been muggled. Strange!

Muggled. Will replace asap

Doing some quick caches before work, quite a nice spot thanks!

Nice easy find
Thanks!

Coordinates on iPhone app a little out but clue helps. Tftc!

Found.

Always wondered how to get to go karting.

Noone around at 10.30am on a Wednesday. Quick easy find. The lake is beautiful!

Found it but rookie mistake left my pen at home! Will come back to sign log.

Gps is a bit off but got there in the end - Tftc
