Archiving so I can establish a Multi-cache in its place

Despite being found a couple days ago I CAN'T FIND my geocache. Disabling in the interim to be replaced with a multi-cache

Visit Carol in New Plymouth- from South Africa with Kaydey - let the springboks rule the rugby world - viva South Africa ????

Quick find.TFTCPS: my pen quit its job, therefore fotolog

Found while cycling the trail. SL. TFTC

Biking around on womad weekend. Exploring the town via caches. Learning lots. Thanks.

Three unsuccessful attempts today - although we didn't try that much at the "Three Sisters" last night ...But no matter - a sheltered spot sweetened our afternoon.Dreimal erfolglos am heutigen Tag - dabei haben wir doch gestern Abend gar nicht soviel bei den "Three Sisters" probiert ...Aber egal - ein windgeschtzter Platz verste uns den Nachmittag.

No luck today

Thanks from Germany

Thanks for the cache, nice find

Quick find, thanks for the cach

TFTC. Morning walk with a coffe from Paris Plage! Perfection

Came back a 3rd time, its there this time, it's definitely where I thought it should be (although not the bottom one) so must of been missing the past 2 times I came looking for it

Finally found it

Easy find

pretty easy, not bottom one though

Second go at trying to find, I tried a quick look a week ago but couldn't find it, still no luck today. There is a broken bit I found both times where I believe it is supposed to be?

The broken container was replaced back in September and has been found dozens of times since, including 3 days ago.Thanks for visiting. P

Found the broken plastic mentioned in a previous log but was unable to locate the cache in any of the other "ones".

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Found it while doing the coastal walk. Tftc!

tftc:)

In NP today so took the opportunity to turn this previous DNF into a smiley. A lot of people around today on the beach for a Tuesday

Here following a Surf lifesaving comp. hosted by Fitzroy SLAC. Took a stroll down to East End to nab this one. TFTC

Tftc greetings from Austria

Great one

Didn't take too long to figure this one out, though as another cacher pointed out, it's not exactly where it is suggested (but certainly if you look there you'll look in the right place). Thanks!

Easy spot, out in the open, hard to get the logbook out

Great find Sorry Truemurphs forgot a pen!!

Proof!

Wasn't in the bottom one (some old broken plastic made it impossible to put it back there) but a great hide and fun find. TFTC

thanks good spot

Cute!

Found it ??

Easy find, nice fit!, TFTC!

Day 16: Around TaranakiTodays journey took us around the Taranaki Region, where we headed as far south as Cape Egmont before heading up to Pukeiti, and back to New Plymouth for two more parks: Tpare and Pukekura Parks. After that, we searched for the best views of the Maunga from Te Wera Wera Bridge and walked the Coastal Walkway back to the Port. Another truly productive day, and thanks for all the caches around the Taranaki Region. (End of the cut and paste bit)Heres the specific log for this cache: An easy cache find on the walk along the walkway today. Interesting bit of history here, of course, and I am always intrigued by how the ingenuity of man is sometimes balanced by these sort of mistakes. But, such is life. Easy find at the GZ here once the unlikely spots were eliminated. TFTC!

Wow thats one was cool thanks very much

Only had a quick visit. Will.come back

After a walk from the Wind Wand to this beach I searched for this cache. I almost gave up. But after 5 min: success! TFTC

Out for a walk while on holiday with nzref, nzzach and pinkgirl TFTC

Nice easy find while on a walk with claireyc nzzach and pinkgirl tftc

Found it lying on the grass so not sure where it was originally?

Thanks found it

With a help of a stranger

Cool

Found it

Sorted

Sadly broken but found

A great hide, but as the previous finder has said, it is broken. However, we have taken a photo of the cache container as there is no log to sign. Thanks for bringing me here to read the notice board -amazing what the early settlers did.

After caching around the port area yesterday, today we decided to cache in the city and hopefully out to the Bell Block area.

Out and about with LNM1961 revisiting Taranaki and collecting caches.

Kia ora rawa atu for the cache Phronimos.

Broken, have attached photo as no log available to sign. Caching with NZ_B out and about in the Taranaki region.

Broken… ️

Broken…

Super cold day! We had lots so much fun finding it, super sneaky!

very sneaky. took me a moment.

the wind stole my pen so couldn’t sign! i am gutted.

That was fantastic hide spot

Wandered around looking for ice. Could see some on the top of the mountain. Soon grabbed and signed. Thank you for the placement

Group effort. Didn’t bring a pen! Awesome hide

Tiny but found.

planned group attack on new Plymouth for this long weekend.with squirrel nutcase eyespyben and ABCDF4kiwiana trail was our main goal but anything else will be great.this was one of our extra caches in our travels.bit of reading and we soon had it. TFTC

Kings Birthday weekend we are off down Taranaki with Squirrel Nutcase, Fap ( Fap & Gap)
and ABCDF4
Some caches willl be signed HRP Team or Individual
I think the team say it all
Thanks to all the COs for there placement

With ABCDF4, eyespyben, and Gap (of Fap and Gap)... A planned expedition into the Taranaki region. All logs were signed with our individual handles, or Team HRP (Huntly, Rotorua, Papamoa) depending on who accessed the logbook first...

King's Birthday Saturday: There were a few people in the general vicinity, so it was helpful to have an information panel to read. While surveying passing traffic, we picked our time to strike. Thanks Phronimos. TFTC.

Nice wee hide
Thanks

M25: this cache was spotted in plain sight on the ground, so we put back into the reasonably obvious spot where we believe the hint said. Nice and easy find, log all good and signed here. TFTC.

A quick find this evening while out for a walk along the coastline. TFTC

Good find

Thanks for this one in combination with the interesting story.

Thank you for this simple but very nice cache we enjoyed it

Was hard to find but very clever

Thanks

Great clue

Good cache, very silly

My first geocache! Heaps of fun

A lovely morning to stroll along the Coastal Walkway. After patiently waiting for a family of Muggles to move on from GZ, a quick investigation of the area soon had the cache in hand. Loved the unique container and hiding spot.

Another lovely morning out

It was a good adventure trying to find it .
