Beautiful view. Even with my extraction tool I couldnt get the log out. If anything I have pushed it in further. Tftc.

Looked, but could not find

Logging this as a find but could not extract from the hiding spot. Tool needed. Perhaps has become more embedded than intended?

A muggle in lycra was lurking at GZ on attempt one so what would have been the first cache of the day ended up being the last.
Very nicely placed although a bit tricky to extract, but some handy TOTT helped.
Thanks G-2 for this and your other caches in this area. We have been to Murawai many times but have never been up here before.

Allok

Last one for the day. We knew this had been replaced recently so had a very thorough search when we first arrived in Muriwai, but didn't have any luck finding it. After a PAF call and then waiting out some muggles, we came back and Tufty made the find. Getting the log out and back in took a while as well, but at least there were some nice views to look at as well.

Thanks for the cache (#1580)

I was out with Lumin298 today trying to find as many as we can in theMuriwai area.

Kiwicouple told us that they had replaced the cache 3 days ago so we decided to try for it. We had a bit of trouble locating it so had to use our PAF card.

Cheers for the cache.

We spent an enjoyable morning caching in Muriwai. We had noticed that this one was missing, so brought along a replacement. Two possible spots to place the tiny container, and given the hint one was too high and the other was too low. Tried the top one, but our eforts to extract it again only pushed it in deeper, so we abandoned that. Popped another in the lower, and placed a bit of lichen on top for camo.
We recall admiring the view from here while visiting this spot for a previous cache. Just as nice today, thanks.

Need to check

No luck on this one. Felt like we found the hole in the tree where it might be but no dice.

Stopped off here after finding some other Muriwai caches. Sadly no luck for us here today.

After a trip down low we called in here on the way back. Great views at GZ and all good. T F T C G-2

Another day to fill, another day out placing a couple of potential puzzles, and making a few finds when passing. We headed to Muriwai for a walk along the beach, then up to see/smell the gannets. A good day to be out amongst it.

cheers. beautiful day out with team welsh

Found it no problem. A little lower than described but nice and say. Thanks for replacing

Replaced, thanks Gorby!

Allok, thanks Mike!

I have been lazy you know. I have seen these caches in the bush for a few years and ignored them since I couldn't be bothered making the effort to get to them. So today I decided to get on top of my game and get into it.

I knew this cache was missing so looked in the back of my cache mobile and found a suitable little bison to replace what might have been here. I spotted the hide straight away (nipple height) and the bison fitted perfectly and I covered it with bark of the same tree.

Permission granted by the way to log this cache after replacing it. cache on people!

Allok, thanks Mike!

This one had both Supernanny and I baffled.

View good but cache missing?

Missing

Hunting with nette1234......I had found it years ago.
Had a good look round at nipple height ...but the holes were bare; except for a big spider in one!

Nothing

On our way to Auckland, have sold the van and its being collected tomorrow (sad times)
Stopped here as we'd camped overlooking the beach. Had a look, stood checking my nipple height! 2 obvious holes were empty, looked for hanging things but came away empty handed. Hope it's us and it is still there.

Great views from here - Out with Mrs TWS while she gets back on her feet after heart surgery

Nice hide! Easy to be missed. View is good from GZ too. TFTC

Out and about for some geocaching fun around the Muriwai coast today. The morning rain seems to have cleared, leaving a sunny day behind. After finding "Eds viewpoint", I decided to take a more direct route back up to the road and bush bashed my way there. Not sure I would recommend this option. Anyway, once at GZ I immediately checked the exact right spot, but missed the hide on the first pass. Tried a couple of other spots before returning. This time I reached in a little further and felt the cache through the accumulated materials. Needs my trusty TOTT to extract the cache from its hidey spot. Right, back to the auto and I will have completed my loop around this reserve. Cheers for the cache placement!

At last an amazing view with no steps or hills. A very sneaky hide indeed. FP

Out with friends Mr and Mrs SherlockthePuppy again this weekend, and along with NewlynFam junior (Wolfie109) we decided to take a drive out to Muriwai on this beautiful spring day... and take a wander along the beach. We also took Sherlock (the puppy- or not so much a puppy now.... not to be confused with the geocacher) with us for some exercise. Met at SherlockthePuppy (the geocacher)'s house, packed up the vehicle, and headed out.

This was the second stop on the way back home, and another cache with a gorgeous view of the setting sun.
I'm short, so the height wasn't quite right for me. However, I knew this from previous cache-hunting experience, so began my searching at around chin height. Found something, but it didn't look like it could possibly conceal a cache. Luckily, closer investigation revealed that it was in fact the hidey-hole I was looking for!

Good hide... just the right level of tricky-ness!

Thanks for placing!

After parking as close as we could to GZ, Mrs NewlynFam and I made our way to GZ on foot... and once here we began our search. This one took us a little bit longer than it should have, and while I was looking at a slightly different spot, Mrs NewlynFam called out those magic words... 'found it!' So once again the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next hunters. We then took a moment to enjoy the view... amazing! On the way back to the car I also spotted a piece of urban art on the nearby power transformer which I really appreciated... I really like urban art that someone has taken the time to do well. So thank you G-2 for taking the time to set up this cache... as always we really appreciate your efforts in doing so

Quick park n grab after a surf session at Maori Bay. Strong offshore with nice 3-4ft peaks rolling in. Heaps of fun. No problems locating the cache. Took a few minutes to remove the container as it was well jammed in. Daily cache sorted

SL as jf in #15 slot. Slow climb up from campground. Still hot but the overcast and breeze helps. NINO TFTC

Quick find despite sneaky.hide. Great view.

Quick PnG here on my way back from your multi. Love the camo. TFTC

A nice park and grab before parking up a little further along and doing the short trail down Ed's track. Nice views from here, TFTC

It was a nice Friday afternoon, so I decided to finish work early and head out to Muriwai to do some short walks and find a few caches. Looked for this after walking the Edwin Mitchelson Track, a quick find but a bit tricky to extract. TFTC!

View was fine, ground was a bit boggy.

Out for an afternoons walk this afternoon while the weather cleared. Nice view.Good hide. TFTC

Had made plans to head to Devonport with Merlot58 and Jag50 to get a few caches before the rain really set in. However, these plans were called off, and with all of us suffering from cabin fever, we decided to head out for the new caches around Goldie's Bush while the weather held off.

We pulled up on the side of the road here, and merlot and Mrs Jag rushed out to search. Mrs Jag used her new multi tool, that was a present for her birthday, to help extract the log.

Had made plans to head to Devonport with Merlot58 and Aiden29 today to get a few caches. But with really bad weather looming we decided to see if we could nab a few caches out here which might be a bit more sheltered and ahead of the big rains forecast.

WE has passed this spot going in s o decided we needed to stop on the way back. While MrJag50 carefully pulled the car off the road into a safe spot, the others walked to the spot. MrsJag50 managed to use her new multitool to extract the log.

Despite the dismal weather forecast I was out in Muriwai with Jag50 and Aiden29 to pick up some of the new and not so new caches. We decided to do this cache on our way back from Goldies bush and once Mr Jag had parked Mrs Jag made the find and got to use her flash new multi tool she got for her birthday to extract the cache

I am sure I have found a cache a bit near here in the past. ..
Thanks for bringing me out for a breath of fresh air today !

On a FTF mission we met up with Bertie Blowfish and Poex they had beaten us to the two caches down the dark trak we would get them later once the FTF s would be claimed cache was found by Mr Poex TFTC

Just before arriving here, we met up and merged with Pazza, Geocchi & FMZ....and all converged on GZ together. Once again it was Poex with his sharp young eyes, who picked out the cache in the torchlight.
Joint [FTF] TFTC

We met up with Bertie Blowfish and new recruit Poex here and made a quick but increasingly big joint [FTF] here. I remember an older cache along a bit from here. Great view from up here. FTF #2099 TFTC!!!

Geocchi , FMZ and I met up with Bertie Blowfish and Poex to continue on our [FTF] mission. Poex has turned out to be our best TOTT and found it quickly. Tftc
