By nzkites on 07-Aug-16. Waypoint GC6MW6Y

Thanks nzkites for bringing us to this interesting viewpoint. Two way view indeed and a straight forward find.

Awesome view! Found with Matcra. TFTC!

Thanks!

Beautiful spot TFTC

Coordinates changed from:S 37 45.981 E 176 29.518Coordinates changed to:S 37 45.989 E 176 29.507Distance from original: 72.0 feet or 21.9 meters.Area changed since original placement and cache missing, replaced in different spot nearby.

Awaiting the next finder.

Cache replaced in slightly different spot, coords and hint updated.

Checked today, cache missing as expected because the area has changed since placement. We expect to replace it later today.

Apologies for the delay; we plan to visit Pukehina within the next week or two in order to check on this cache, and will either replace or archive it.

New fence and no cache in sight. A bit disappointing caching mining with the grandchildren

Disabling until we can check on this one.

The clue sounded pretty easy but we did not find today.

Followed the instructions in the hint but DNF find for us today.

First time going with the in laws. They loved it!

Thought this had gone due to the building work but then we spotted it yay

TFTC and greetings from Czechia Europe

70 backwards tftc

Another nice spot for a cache, nice quick find here, TFTC

Found today with the mumma

Fun to find

Found on 10/1/21!
Didn't bring a pen so unmarked.

Couldn’t find today

Easy find, TFTF

Was fun and the beach veiw is cool

Navigation off but counting worked once you figure out which side your meant to count! Found with Drillax

GPS spot on. TFTC

Hint was abit confusing but found it in the end, TFTC!!

Second catch! TFTC. Took a little while to find (hint worded a bit weirdly) but got there in the end

Spot on counting, co ordinates out though. With kimbathelion

Counting was spot on. Quickly located with buzzy bee. Tftc

Nice easy find
Have not been to Pukehina Beach before amazing spot

Picked up on our little roadie with ABCDF4 whilst in the area, quick easy find, neat area.TFTC.

Filling in time before we go to an afternoon wedding. This one took a while to locate. Co-ords are out about 25m, as last log mentioned, but once cache was found, log was signed and cache was placed back as found. Cheers

Travelling up to Northland to see the kids. Stayed the night in Pukehina and enjoyed exploring the peninsula right to the end. Found this cache by using the hint after ignoring the coordinates. I got the cache 25 m out. Lovely to be here when the Pahutukawa are out. Thanks for the smiley.

TFTC. A tricky hide but found quickly.

Nice find after the other one SW of here. TFTC.

Enjoying a bike ride and exploring Pukehina for first time.

Little too tricky for us today

Accidentally inhaled a lady bug, but no cache today

Great one for my kids counting skills! TFTC

Nearly had to count twice, but gentle fondling found it. Sunny and crisp. From the top of the steps the island that exploded is in the distance at 1 o'clock, not the shark fin at 2 o'clock. Tftc

I arrived with my snail shell and parked it up at Papamoa Beach for a few days so that I could sign off a few solved puzzles and any trads that get in the way.

This is one of those trads.

Cheers for the cache.

No luck here today.

On a maintenance run in Pukehina today. This cache is in place, all ok and waiting for the next finder. We will update the coords when able for better accuracy.

Now NZ has moved to Alert Level 2, Geocaching is allowed but it’s up to each one of us to keep the rest of us safe.

Let's not turn Caching into Catching COVID-19

These are the most important things that you can remember and do:

COVID-19 is still out there. Play it safe.

Keep your distance from other people in public.

If you’re sick, stay home. Don’t. find this cache.

If you have symptoms of cold or flu get advice about being tested.

Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.

Sneeze and cough into your elbow, Sanitise your hands before looking for this cache if possible.

Log online each cache found and keep a record of anyone you meet.

Stay Happy and Safe while caching.

Disabling this one until the lockdown is over. Please stay home and keep your family and the country safe.

Tried real hard with no success

Thanks for replacing nzkites!
Nice to pop out from where I'm staying in Papamoa and find and sign.
Love this black container btw....

Tftc, found a few counts out after much terror, hands in holes, way out of comfort zone!! Resituated. Lovely walk. Crashing waves, tftc

Little bit harder but we got it

Found it!! The hint helped us for this one and with a bit of hunting we soon had it, always pays to take note of the cache title

Replacement cache in place and ready for the next finder.

Cache replaced. As the coords don’t seem very accurate, we have updated the hint and will recheck the coords at a later date.

Apologies, we have been busy with other commitments, we did visit Pukehina earlier this month intending to check our caches but the weather was so bad we weren’t able to. We’re hoping to get back there next week and will sort this one out.

Disabling until we can check on this.

May be gone?
Really hurt and bruised my wrists when I extended my search on lower railings...ouch .
Was here sooooo long.....
Will put on watch list .

Great spot - we were enjoying our day today

TFTC

Great view surfs pumping

Found out in the open but cache is fine. Rehid as the hint says
Tftc

We found it after enjoying this great beach access that we don't use.Great place to hide it.

Came to visit my friend Ray in Pokehina today. Thought we would pick up some caches on the walk to point.

Spotted it right away and guided the kids so that they can find it. Took two small swoppable items. Then took the steps down for a beachwalk to the next cach.

Having just a week ago returned from Queensland I can honestly say the one thing I really mused was the NZ coastline. Pity it's autumn here cos I would love to find a safe beach to swim in.

Found it easily. In a nice cosy spot. Sun was shining, We were lucky to not have niggles around. Thanks for the fun!

Fantastic views from the cache, quick easy find thank you

Out walking Albert the geohound for his evening walk before the sun goes down and can use some natural light to find the geocache. Must admit, made a bit more hard work of this one than I needed to but got there in the end. There was a very pretty little piece of swag in the cache but alas I didn't have anything to swap for it so left for a future finder. Thanks for the cache all good here and a nice view along the beach to boot.

Collected on a weekend road trip to see some kiwi fruits with my mom. Had some more time before returning back to AKL and decided to go for a beach walk. TFTC

Easy find thanls. On our way to do more maintenance to our cache. Just a typical beach day!

With the hint this one didn't require a long search. Well named cache with a view in both directions.

Lots of muggles around today thanks to the Anniversary weekend holiday but we managed to grab this one while everyone was busy swimming on the beach. As the title says... two-way views and both were awesome!

Just about blitz maketu and pukehina today. Tftc

Our mission for today was to clean up the Maketu/Pukehina coastline since our last visit about 2 years ago. What started out a nice overcast day was now raining. A quick dash up the access to GZ to search for this one. Houses occupied on both sides of the fence so had to duck down below the fenceline to avoid any unwanted attention. Cache was quickly found here - TFTC!

My first visit to Pukehina. Max was still in the car for the ride, but itching to get out.
I thought I would pick up the few caches on the way out to the surf club first, so Max wasnt getting in and out of the car wet and sandy too often, so I left him in the car and made the quick find.
A strange and steep beach access.
Thanks for bringing me here.

Traveling home from whakatane, the last cache on this trip

Log to follow

Great day out for caching no muggles and beautiful weather. Quite a sneaky hide. Thank you.

Great view alright.
Cheers

We were sitting watching TV around 8.15pm and spotted a circle around the calendar signalling a dot day find required! ! A quick look on the geocaching map revealed a 30 minute drive to Pukehina was required. Found on a dark blustery evening.

On a trip from Tauranga to Opotiki, going to places that I haven't been before and collecting some caches on the way. Thanks for putting one here.

....and 6 weeks later it's the bridesmaid's turn to find this.. and no-one in between. Love it

First find as Mrs & Mr, nothing like caching on your honeymoon

Enjoyed visiting the area.
Easy find. SL TFTC

Quick find here, no one about.

TFTC

Yes indeed ... the 2-Way views were most splendid . Thank you so much for the new Pukehina placements... we're off now to Whakatane.....

Great views in either direction

Tftc a bit of climb but what a view

Made that find way harder than it needed to be. A beautiful area. TFTC

Second attempt at this one, last time it was dark
Glorious day
Happy Waitangi Day
TFTC

Phew, that was a bit of a climb. Must be easier ways to get to a beach.

A muggle free day today and a bit cool and windy as well.

This is summer.??

Thanks nzkites, time to head home again.

A nice quick find and a great view out to sea today. Thanks nzkites!

Quick find. TFTC.

TFTC - Amazing view in a beautiful part of the country

TFTC awesome view from up here. Can see both ways up the beach. Tide is nearly full and the sun is shinning

On a caching adventure with the dog...

The sea was angry today, and not helped by a strong, breezy on-shore wind. We were quite protected in this small hillside nook. We had the area to ourselves and could search in relative peace... It took a while to uncover this one, and we spent more time than was necessary poking through the bushes. Eventually, we realised where this one was. Sure enough... TFTC.

TFTC lovely arvo out with my boys

Great views on a perfect sunny afternoon.
