The Great Wall of Kay Hamilton, North Island, New Zealand
By osborneroadoddballs on 20-Apr-17. Waypoint GC74AFD

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

The CO has not been very active this year and does not appear to have visited this cache following the Maintenance request sent earlier this year. Time to go to stop others visiting for a fruitless search?

Hi osborneroadoddballs

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. 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
The Coddiwompler

Disappointed as I couldn't find a cache here today .
Hasn't been found since February.
If COs are local maybe they can check please!

No luck for me.

Due to the recent earth works in this location it is highly unlikely the cache still exists.

Recent roadworks in this area have cleared the site and nothing obvious is to be found.

Not sure if it’s still here after the earthworks

The CO probably needs to have a look. While this was found recently, I looked today but there are roadworks starting right up to the great wall and cones restricting the shoulder of the road all the way along.

If it has not already gone, and I think it has, it's probably not very safe anymore.

A quick easy find, as the well flattened (?driven over) container was lying in the open. We used our tools to reshape it as best we could, and hid it in accordance with the hint, although we have some doubt as to how long it is going to last. TFTC

This was a awesome little geocache for beginners!

Good spot

Excellent coords. Thanks

Nice quick find enroute to Tāmaki. TFTC

Found today with Azabhunter, TFTC.

Found it with the company of skitzo18. It was really cool learning about it.

Out for a bike ride, enjoying the sunny weather. Nice quick find here, cheers

Found thanx

Out and about, I grabbed this after it being on the map for awhile. Need to start clearing out some more icons and turn them into smileys!

TFTC osborneroadoddballs, the cache was found in good order Signed, sealed and returned to GZ. 1 find(s) of 2 today, making this find #1818

Over in Hamilton for a couple of days. Enjoying seeing what is going on out this way - so many new houses. Walking up to this one I wondered whether it would still be here's as the mower has been out clearing close to the fence. But all was good and the cache was where it should be TFTC

What an amazing day! Set off to the Waikato with intentions to meet up with NZFlossy and TNXPro but somehow didn't see either of them - instead I managed to alternate my caching partners between Mr & Mrs Tryfyn & KayDeeGee and then Davidson Clan & Squirrel Nutcase for the late shift. I had a great time at both of the Hamilton events and enjoyed catching up with the locals here and from home. Lastly - a big 'thank you' to the CO's that made 2018's International Geocaching Day so awesome.

The cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. The hint was pretty handy too although it did take a little longer to navigate here as I wasn't sure which way to go and there are a couple of roads that haven't actually been built yet. Cheers osborneroadoddballs, TFTC

Quixk find with Philip.Perry. After tonights event.

Easily found... TFTC

I am making my way down to Hamilton this afternoon for a spot of cache detection. I have left the main drag behind to find a cache or two along the way and to break the trip up. Now, am I in Hamilton here or is it just over there? Looks like Hamilton is continuing to experience population growth. Anyway, I took advantage of the parking near GZ and executed a super quick find here. Nice touch with the camo colouring. Cheers for the cache placement!

Now where could this one be, haha. TFTC!

last full day in the Hamilton/Auckland area, awake at 5am so decided to wait for first light and head off and get some caches, on the way to visiting a friend in Tuakau via Auckland to attempt a few challenge caches that I qualified for awhile ago.
set off around 6am when the sun hadn't quite come up yet, but by the time i got to the first cache it was light enough to see what I was doing, headed towards Ngaruawahia first to get some petrol and then on to having a go at the 52 cards power trail.
All was well here, noticed that most of these caches had really good parking opportunities, only a few had a couple of interesting spots, lucky I had set off early enough where there was no traffic, until further in where more and more traffic came down this road. All caches were simple finds.
signed the log and replaced exactly where I found it. thanks for the cache.

quickly knew where I was heading for the find on this cache, however I think an animal must have used the cache site as a toilet. Now my hands stink.

Happy Easter

Fun easy cache thanks

Didn't take long to spot a likely hiding place and there was a Mooloo berocca. Nice log extraction device. TFTC.

Found while heading to a friends house in Rototuna. I must be shy of putting my hands in places after living in Aus for so long. Tftc

Found before heading into the subdivision to look for a couple caches in there, thanks for the placement

Found while in Hamilton for the day. TFTC

Heading back to Auckland, at least its not raining

TFTC

What a smelly little goleacache!!

Time to get a few of the new caches in this area of town.
No problems here, thanks for the placement.

Quick find here today thx

need a quick find as i had muggle friends with me, this cache was a quick find, tftc

I missed this one on my last attempt, but with a few recent finds, I tried again today. After checking the great big red herring that is there, I spotted the cache. Many thanks to the last finder for leaving a bit of it visible so I could see it. TFTC.

Decided it was high time to clear out north of the city again. A friend used to live rurally on borman road - so different now! Felt very conspicuous here, with lots of traffic speeding by, thankfully the caching gods were smiling on me & it was a nice easy find, TFTC

Last one for the day

We have had a great day pick this one up on the way home

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... It's been a while since we left town on a Friday to do some caching. Work has been crazy these past few weeks... Heading northward to stay overnight with our Huntly friends...

The last of our finds for the evening... There weren't too many hiding places for this one. We soon spotted the Waikato colours... TFTC.

7.35pm - As we were in the area thought we should find this one as well. Bit of a loop around the streets from last cache but soon spotted the Waikato colours. SLTFTC

Although this cache is only about 300m from where I live, it is 4km to drive there. If only those new roads would be opened up. Cant wait. Thanks for placing this cache here osborneroadoddballs

Found about 4 weeks ago on way home from work. Just noticed now that online log not showing up , so logging it again now .

We were in the area looking at the progress of the Waikato Expressway. The road verge has been mowed leaving the cache a little exposed, probably lucky not to be hit with the mower. Tucked it away a little better.
+ a glass pebble, - nothing.

On my way north out of the subdivision and decided today was the day to collect that cache. Parked here and there was nothing obviously around where the cache could be. A bit of sleuthing finally turned it up and I was on my way again.

Going to do the northern Haks and stopped by this northern caches tftc

Was going to find the last few caches over the weekend but remembered last minute that there was a souvenir for today so left them for after work today. A lot of traffic this evening so took a bit of a long route to GZ and managed a quick find once at GZ, thanks for the hide.

a quick drive by one the way to work, all quite here, but very cold, found the well camoed container quickly

Needed a little bit of time out and away from relatives so what could be better than to grab the last couple of caches in the Hamilton that I haven't solved. Short quick stop along here and the cache was quickly in hand, The Great Wall will never make a tourist attraction but at least it keeps the rabble from the road
thanks for the cache thanks for the placement

there was the sound of a little canine on the other side of the fence as I approached GZ. easy find thanks.tftx

Having a big day of caching today, left Auckland about 3:30am and hoping to get 50 or so caches just for the heck of it, hoping to make April my best month.
Parking up here, it was just a short moment in time before I found the cache. Thanks for that.

log later

We took the family to the Otorohonga Kiwi House today and did a little detour on our way home to pick up this cache. With changes to the road layout in this area over the first couple of months we haven't been down here for a while and were surprised by the speed of the development. Accurate coordinates ensured a quick find before going off road and taking an unfinished road back into the Rototuna suburbs and home. Thanks for the cache.
