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.

Hi BenandJen69

This geocache came to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance). In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled this cache page.

I've added this cache to a bookmark list, and I will check back in four weeks or so to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that an explanation has been provided. If the problem persists, I will need to archive this cache page for lack of maintenance.

Regards
The Coddiwompler

Think I have to confirm DNF

Nice area, but did not find.

No luck here - GPS was all over the place.

I'm in New Plymouth on a work trip for a couple of days. Some spare time to find a few caches as well. After work was done for the day, I had time to find a few more caches before I had to head back to my hotel. Took a bit longer than it should have done to get my hands on this cache but it was all good in the end. TFTC, Biggles.

Awesome treasure

Found on my trip north enjoying the caches in the area

TFTC. Less than 200m from the Geo Parents house. Awesome.

Nice little spot.

Quick one

2nd find for Soso today, partially visible so Soso hid better. Soso swapped swag then we went looking for penguin homes.
TFTC

A beautiful spot that we didn't know was here tftc

Beautiful spot so close to the ocean. Cache is hidden very well, so you can't accidentally find it by just walking by. TFTC!

Woke up to a wet, rainy day today and we were actually cold for the first time in months. Down in the area for a few days visiting family and enjoying the Coastal Cycleway, interspersed with a little bit of geocaching as well. No problems here, thank goodness for electric bikes. Nice Spot. SL. TFTC.

After getting our bearings this was a quick find. Nice breeze coming off the sea - it was very tempting to go for a dip! Tftc!

Easy

One of seven caches we located on our ride on the coastal walkway today. Good bike ride on a sunny day but glad we started at the Bell Block end because the wind was rather strong, and it was better to have it behind us going back. Found this one reasonably quickly at the end of our ride. #2220. TFTC.

Over in the Naki with a cycle group from Tauranga. We've had wonderful weather for biking, though the wind was a tad strong along the coastline coming back. Great views of the mountain today. Easy find. Cache is all good. TFTC

Quick find for us here and some nice views of rhe coastline nearby. Tftc.

Quick easy find because the cache was sitting out in the open beneath the tree. Signed the log and tried to hide the container under some weeds. TGTC

Our first ever Geocache find!

Good find by daughter

Awesome find 1st time for niece 2nd time for brand daughter FUN

Quick find on a very windy day.

Quick trip away with woolwood9, we soon had the cache found and log signed. Nice area here.

Been away for the weekend and had no opportunity for caching today. But with a dot day needing undotting I had to get one so grabbed this on the way back into NP. TFTC

We are up 8n new 0lymouth for mother in laws birthday and I did a quick trip up to this area to locate a couple 9f cache I had not previously found. I first went to the wrong street and found a little cemetery then reaised I was in wrong place but soon got to the right area and soon found the cache. The log book was very wet and I replaced it with a temp. Log of water
proof paper in a tough plastic bag. So it should stay dry.
THAT YOU FOR THIS CACHE AND ANOTHER SMILEY FACE.

Nice easy park and grab cache was very wet so did not sign log but did swap some “treasure” with mr 8

Lovely spot that I haven't been to in a while. My lily caching buddy liked checking the creek for eels. TFTC

Have had this geocache in reserve for a couple of months as it was close to home and I was planning to fill in as many dot days as I could this year.

Well 9pm after a movie an no cache logged for today so I parked up nearby and headed down to GZ with a light and a pen.

Everything in good order, log a little damp but still quite usable.

Cheers.

Quick find, not the tree I first expected, but co-ordinates led me there. TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Nice wee cache

Found with KPG48,and left my little pony to go on her travels

Found it along with KPG 48, left my little pony to travel on

almost missed filling this one out, lovely little spot, lots of dog walkers,

Found quickly once I got the right trees! Such a nice walk.

On holiday here in New Plymouth collecting a few caches, Through I wound go out for a walk in the Bell Block and get a few caches

Found the cache not to hard to find when you look in the right place to start with
Now heading back to base

Tftc - took a little longer than expected, we were starting to think we’re losing our mojo! Great day out for a ride!

Easy find. But the log book a bit wet.

Today's finds definetly had the theme of serenity and water to them which was exactly what I needed today as have just started full time study by distance while working full time so I was pleased to be out of the house. This made find number 997, so only two more to find before my 1000th find at my event next weekend. Bit of searhing here before getting my hands on it. Tftc

A quick find. Stunning views today. Tftc

Took a bit to find, mini cacher had to retrieve, thanks

Nice little spot

Did not find anything there

TFTC

GPS going crazy but eventually found it (:

A fishing competion here today but they were all looking out to sea
Sorry about the late logging still cactching up

Found

Found with Trayc.g, logging now as I have my own account. TFTC

Found it after a hike along the beautiful coastline. TFTCCO

A quick grab while we were in town..we were supposed to head in country for some caching today but got a flat tyre before we left so thought it was wise to stay local today. Thanks for placing!

Found while riding this wonderful pathway in the sunshine. Biked from the city out to this beach and now the caching starts on the way back Never been here before, TFTC.

A lovely but hot day for geocaching. Beautiful spot, cache quickly found by my 11 yr old. TFTC

Out for a walk now it's a little cooler than yesterday.
Quick find here, good to see more and more caches popping up in Bell Block each time I visit.
Would suggest that the T rating is increased. Would be impossible for a wheelchair to get to the GZ and retrieve.
Thanks for the smilie BenandJen69.

We were here earlier in the week on our bikes but searched unsuccessfully as we couldn't get a good fix on our GPS, it was all over the place for some reason. We called in again today on our way home and the Garmin behaved, so a quick find between muggles. Nice area, thanks for the cache we agree with the previous finder about the terrain rating.

Had a fun bike ride from the port - beautiful day for it. Topped it off by picking up four caches including this one. TFTC

Found it

Nice cach

Nice quick find. Left a couple things. Just bike from the port now making my way back. It's a good ride and great a cache at the end. Tftc

Nice easy park and stroll in a light rain for an easy smiley. Cheers

Early morning trip to log this for the first of the year. Had to wait awhile while some of the long awaited rain arrived in New Plymouth, albeit briefly. It eased somewhat so was able to grab the cache. tftc BenandJen69.

Been out for Brunch at Big Jims Cafe, once again a nice feed, stopped off here on the way home, taken the tb onto its next journey, this tb been going for over 10 years

We biked up from Fitzroy this morning, and this was our first find of the day. Left TB (Thunder Down Under); and many thanks for the cache, much appreciated.

??

Lovely spot and nice find!

A nice quick find, a pretty rocky beach here. Cheers.

Next stage in the holiday, up to Hamilton. Looking forward to getting there to see one of the duaghters.

Thanks to all of the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Forgot to log this. great spot. TFTC

Hello Benandjen in the area so nipped in for a quick park and grab TFTC

Scorching hot again and no shade left to park in - thank goodness the cache was in the first place searched! Thanks, BenandJen69, for another good one.

Nice day to be in NP so a nice day for a ride along the coastal track which means a great day to find a cache. Cheers for the smile.

Good hiding spot tftc

Nice hide tftc

Thank you BenandJen for another opportunity to log another. Here at (super)low tide. Great views. Very hot. I hope those poachers don’t just waste their plunder like the hoard near the cache. See photo. TFTC

Awesome! Our second cache of the day, and our second ftf of the day stunning summers day. Nice easy park and grab. Left a tiger. TFTC
