By mrBmrsP on 24-Aug-16. Waypoint GC6QVF7

This cache was broken, so now gone

Cache has been destroyed.
Will see if we can create a new one

Obviously destroyed

Definitely gone. Needs some fixing.

Shame this needs maintenance and us another DNF for us

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Judging from one of the photos part of this cache is missing?

my need maintenance

Very cool haha

A great cache! Really enjoyed this one. A definite favourite of the ones I’ve done so far in New Zealand. I found the log too! TFTC

A beautiful day for a walk around Napier art deco weekend is in full swing and I am lucky enough to be down here for work and have a day off thanks for the beautiful caches in this amazing city have seen similar field puzzles in auckland didn't take long to work this one out FP from us

Trouvée rapidement ! Superbe cache et beau sytème ! On aime ! Bravo à l’owner !

The most innovative find of the day...well done. This is what makes geocaching so much fun

Cache is good to go again

TFTC such a cool cache, by far my favourite!!

Wasn't sure if we could get the cache. Group of 12 sitting not far having tea. Came up.with a plan to do.this without drawing attention.to ourselves. Lucky we have come across this sort of thing before so cache was in hand and replace without anyone noticing us. Well done. Tftc

This is going to need an FP, I’m glad to say! At first we thought it was broken - but a few seconds later all became clear!! The ‘needs maintenance’ attribute should be removed too, because it is in perfect working order. TFTC

I’m not going to give anything away about this one, but I can see why someone initially thought it was broken, but it most certainly isn’t. A definite favourite point from me. When I’m back in Britain I think I’ll make one similar.

All good here

Lottikind hat den Cache gefunden, ich habe das Rohr gefixt.

My Lottikind found it, I fixed it

We signed the log and went on our way...

TftC and greetings from Germany says ????R?I

Where have I been this year? See [Poparni-2020-TB](https://www.geocaching.com/track/map_gm.aspx?ID=3261631)

We have come to Napier with the family for a short break before we all go back to school. Its the first time our children have been here and they are enjoying a bunch of new experiences. After a busy day at some museums and the market my wife gave me a pass to do some late evening caching once our boys were in bed. I came to this cache with no expectations and left grinning. I located 'something' almost immediately and then wondered if the cache was missing, checked some logs and realised there was more to this hide than meets the eyes. I tried a couple of things and then bingo there it was. Great cache and deserving of its favorite points.

A very nice round... up and down the stairs... through Napier.
I was able to get a good look at the cans with the help of the hint...

Thanks for the cache.
Many greetings Pöni.

Wow super nice cache, it took me a little puzzling. I almost put a note in the pipeline because for a moment I thought the log was disappeared. Tftc

Went back today with a pen as I didn't have one when I had the inspired moment while passing by. Unfortunately it has been put back together wrongly and impenetrable and I still couldn't sign it today even thoughI had a pen. I am claiming my find with the original photo of the names signed when I found it before.

A very clever cache container! Loving the ingenuity of NZ cachers whilst over on holiday from Scotland. Tftc

Really enjoyed this cache on a Fab afternoon geoscooting with the Hall-Buchan’s! TFTC

Very clever cache! Greetings from Canada.TFTC AND A Fav point for this one.

Definitely a favourite point, great cache.

A very clever idea that may well get stolen (the idea, not the cache). Initially stumped but quickly solved. TFTC & FP.

Found it but no contents

Stupid GPS once again all over the place, I found the pipeline, with the wind I was getting a tad wet despite no cloud in the sky, must have been high tide, walked away determined I will find it

* Very nice hide
TFTC Most appreciated -
Very Unique

#557 Quick find on a splendid late afternoon! TFTC. I believe all is not as it should be with the container. CO to check on cache.

Found it in the light second visit

Never seen one like this but quickly worked out what was needed to be done.
Fantastic cache and well made
TFTC

Amazing cache in an amazing place ! TFTC

When you have a muggle hubby who is an engineer these caches are right up his alley! Great cache and a fun find on a windy day out exploring Napier. Another fav for us, keep them coming TFTC

Very nice. Fav point.
Greetings from Wales

(# 5537). On a trip up to the Bay to grab a few caches and took check out a work mate who up here to play cricket for Wellington A. A quick find and soon had the goodies in hand. Well done on placing this creative cache. Everything in order. TFTC

We LOVED this find! Clever, clever, clever concealment. Third find in Napier on a sunny Sunday. Pen ran out of ink so pic of log attached. TFTC Fav point from us.

Nicely done and great location

TFTC!

Absolutely brilliant, on way to airport and decided to have another crack at it, immediately saw something that wasn’t apparent yesterday and it was in hand within seconds
Well done!
Allok
Thanks!

Suspect its come adrift

Found as a part of a previous group TanjackMüley, aka WanderingSparrow. Now I'm continuing on my own. TFTC

Cool cache. Seen some similar so was a very quick find. But very creative never the less. Tftc!

That was cool, took a moment to click but got it in the end. Thanks

Found with the kids from
Holiday Programme (: chuffed as was previously a DNF!

Enjoyed this cache. Knew what to do straight away as done a few of these on this trip

No luck

Off on a 5 day mission from Northland to the East Coast with the main target being the last two CANZ caches that I had not yet found. The opportunity to grab some $25 airfares to Napier was just too good to miss, even though it was winter and the days might be short and the weather might be dodgy.

Day one though was a real mission, with early morning fog for the drive to Auckland, untold time navigating the long Akl parking lots, delayed flights before we took off and then again in the air before we could land causing a missed connection for the rental cache mobile pick up. To top it off, the weather was cold and wet, but I still managed four caches in the dark.

Day two started off still wet and cold, but by the time we got into town, the precipitation had eased off, so I was able to go for a stroll around town to keep the other half happy and to look for some more today. As the afternoon passed, the temperature dropped, so it was back into the rental cache mobile and time for some more P&G type hides, especially those that had good FP numbers.

Luckily there was good parking near this one and after a short walk, I was soon at GZ where the hide was spotted. After a bit of study and thought, I managed to retrieve the log, which was signed and then replaced as found. A definite fave here for the well thought out and constructed cache. TFTC

Thank for beautiful spot and help LoL

Quick easy find tftc

TFTF
Lovely stroll between showers while on holiday

Found with Gazza, TFTC

I love the ingenuity. We need more of them. TFTC

Found easily. Very cool concept for a catch. Favourite point from us. TFTC.

Finally get to log this one by doing exactly what we had tried every other time.

Frustrating that it was a mechanical issue after all.

After an attempt at this and sadly thinking it had been muggled, the CO encouraged me to have another go. The penny dropped, I returned this evening and had the cache in hand quick as. Very clever, favourite point from me. Thanks for the sneaky hide!

Awesome cache have only seen this once before so was a quick find, gets a favorite from me either ease, thanks for this great cache and lovely views

I'm from Switzerland and spend 4 months in New Zealand on vacation. Found this cache after a few minutes search, thanks.

Text to come..here it is.. I searched it with Nöggi2..and after giving him he hints he spoted it ..but i spoted the big pipline instead. thanks from Swiss guy!

Well, I found 2/3 if it! I think the drinking over the weekend at my old school 125th reunion has clouded my brain, so I had some help from the cache owner ( thank you so much) to get the final phase. Favourite point from me!! Tftc

Have been planning these caches for a few weeks in conjunction with HKCB for a mad dash and effectively a 24 hour run (so that we could spend time with our respective families) for the rest of the ensuing weekend. Signed most/all caches as HKCD or some such other that we could fit in
Leaving Hamilton at 7pm Friday and getting home midnight on Saturday so that at least 6hours quality sleep was acheived, sleeping in the car is always a bonus (2 hours) and the remainder of the time caching around part of the country we hadn't previousley done a whole lot, but have left plenty for the next trip across the hill.

This was number one hundred of the100+ that we acheived in that time we were over here.
Thanks to all the CO's for the effort and giving some great caches, sorry about the repetitive logs but then 100 is a few to cover off.

Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

We had been talking about cache bash in Napier for a while, and when Cats&Dragons mentioned a trip down here this weekend I couldn't say no. The plan was to head down Friday night (leaving Hamilton about 7pm) and then cache til we can then grab a few hours sleep and then cache through til late afternoon and then head home. The plan worked well, with about 110 caches found over the 24 hour caching period.

It was the first time we had visited Napier to do a caching mission, and we were both impressed with the genius hides (some we hadn't seen before, I'll give a special mention to those ones). A big thanks to all the CO's whose caches we found, for placing and maintaining them. A great trip and looking forward to a revisit.

Soon worked out what was required here, nicely done.

A cunning hide - very impressive!!

Clever hide. Thanks.

Thanks for cache, here for the great Art Deco , Clever hide

Hi found what I think it is but no log book

Returned after help from CO to write log all good thanks again

Hey how! Hier schickten uns die Koordinaten erst zur richtigen Pipeline Richtung Strand - quer über die Steine ging es rauf und runter... aber schließlich kamen wir doch drauf, dass eine andere Pipeline gesucht werden sollte... Diese wurde dann auch fix entdeckt und dann ging es los... Wie ans Logbuch kommen.... da mussten wir schon etwas grübeln und dann schließlich hatte ich doch noch eine gute Idee und schwupps hielten wir das Döschen in der Hand und konnten uns im Logbuch verewigen.
Grandios einfache Idee - habe ich so noch nie gesehen! Vielleicht baue ich das mal nach!
Herzlichen Dank fürs (Pf)Legen! Thanks for the cache - what a great idea - maybe, I'll built it in my hometown! This is worth a Favo!

Awesome cache! One of my favourites, my son loved it too! Would love to give a favourite if I could

Found it! Really good idea! Nice cache

Touring our way through Australia & NZ. In Napier today. All logs marked with "Circled GB". A special thanks to the CO for placing this cache. FP awarded to unique field puzzle.

AAA+ brilliantly constructed cache easy find difficult to log. A fav.

WOW - What a great hide! Thought we were out of luck to start with. May have to try and replicate something like this back home. Fave point from us. TFTC.

We found this one no trouble at all and had the log extracted within about 30 seconds. This gets a Favourite Point from us and congratulations to the cache owner for setting up such a brilliant puzzle in a nice location. Thanks from thebigflax family.

Yesterday we had a look at this cache, but thought it had broken down.
At the motel I read previous logs and found out, that there had to be a way to find the cache.
Before we left Napier this morning, we again went to the cache, and we succeeded in writing in the logbook
This deserves a FP.
TFTC and greetings from Denmark

Second look at this one so well done on the log.

All good to go

22326 Traveling through New Zealand to see nice people and places. Also to find some geocaches.

Today we moved from Masterton to Napier, seeing nice cities and visiting caches along the road. Stopping at nice villages. Finaly we went down town in the Art deco arae to walk an earthcache and find some more nearby

Most caches were found quite quickly. A few took more time. Sometimes they were too humid to write clearly. Muggles did not watch what we were doing.

Nicely made. Original. Favo.

mrBmrsP TFTC and the fun it brought us. Theo

Repair required

This one sounded very interesting.. I did not even know that it had been disabled earlier today.. I had a few issues with it, as I let the CO know on facebook, but I did manage to sign my name in the correct logbook, and I'm also adding a FP. I hope this one gets to live for a long time - I'm been working on something similar for a while now., but my version is not a simple and elegang as this one

Found at 13:27 - #8529 - on a 5 week trip in New Zealand

TFTC

Nice one!

TFTC and greetings from Germany!

Great find

Great hide but soon had it sorted-tftc

quickly spotted the hide. had a bit of a think and then retrieved log. nicely constructed cache. tftc

Ok that’s a doubly sneaky cache! Got it.

Found the cache was stumped by how to access the log.

** This is a log from an account split. Logged as YetiNZ **

Wow! Awesome cache. Took us a little while to figure out how to retrieve this one, but got there in the end! TFTC

Too many rocks for this little brown duck. Thanks for the hide anyway. OZGrumpy

Filling in the day with a few caches while wife attends a meeting. What an amazing cache, very creative. One of the best so far. So well hidden yet so obvious. Thanks for the cache.

Easy find

Back in action

Just popped past to replace the log. Have just disabled to do some minor maintenance.

Got to the second stage... No cache? Or maybe I just suck!

Very cool cache. Clever! Tftc!

I loved this cache. Definitely a favourite point from me. It was this wonderful journey of discovering. I somehow knew exactly what to do, but didn't see were the next step was going. Brilliant. I like how your mind works!
