Historic Walkway / St Mary's Bay ( Auckland ) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By supernannny on 16-Apr-18. Waypoint GC7N59N

Tftf w k-adventure & develyn. Lol first place we concidered before heading up the hill spotted it on our way out lol

Please learn from our mistake, you do not need to climb up the bank lol. Eventually found it, tftc

Not sure if we took it too literally or not literally enough... went all the way up the bank only to then come back down and see it on the way... ??

Work is beginning along here to clear a path for The Central Interceptor.
So sadly archiving.

Today I explored Auckland on foot and covered over 20 km.
I discovered a lot of beautiful places and could find a lot of cans.
Some of them I did not find.
It was a nice, long, sunny day and I want to thank all owners for this.
It was a great pleasure for me to cache here in Auckland.

Thank you and many greetings from Germany
from Pöni.

I had to head into work today to grab the things I had left in the office on Tuesday and the office had been closed due to the fire. As I had no set time to be in I took the opportunity to go for a walk and grab a few caches. I headed down to GZ and I am always surprised at how well the barrier keeps the sound out.

Upon arriving at GZ I spotted where I would put the cache, turns out I was right. I managed to grab the cache, sign and replace just before a bunch of muggles with many dogs came around the corner, they were so cute. Thank you for the cache and giving me an excuse to take a walk down this path. #866

Came for a ride into town with a friend this afternoon, on the new cachemobile, mostly to do some maintenance on a cache of mine, but figured why not find some others. I was walking around aimlessly here before I read the description and then had it immediately. nice new fresh log. TFTC!!!

Found while walking the original shoreline multi. Log sopping replaced with new waterproof log.

Visiting from Nelson we parked at Erin Point and walked into the city to meet our daughter for lunch. An early flight up so we had plenty of time to find this cache as well. The log here was wet but we did not have any spare logs with us sorry.
Thanks.

Just popped out for a few cache finds today. Noticed room in the carpark near this one, so decided to stop and go for an explore. Never been down this walkway before. Took a moment to locate. SL. TFTC.

Quickly found at GZ. This area has been well cleared by a chainsaw. TFTC

Argh - I walked along from the Jacob's Ladder cache but when I got here, there was a muggle with a chainsaw trimming trees directly above GZ. I couldn't even look for this one.

Great find

GPS spot on. No walkers around this morning either. Nice hide. TFTC.

Havent been along this walkway in ages, so its very nice to return. Nobody around when we got to GZ as it was just on dawn. Nice quick find. TFTC.

Nice and easy, shiny!
All ok
Thanks

Very quick find.tftc

Good hiding spot, thanks.

It looks like it might rain a bit today, so I am not wandering too far in case I have to cut things short.

I parked at the suggested location and hiked over. After looking in one particular spot, I glanced around and saw the right place. TFTC.

Fairly straightforward find for me here. Arrived here on my bike which was double pleasure! Nice container. All good at GZ. TFTC

Starting our tour of New Zealand in Auckland. We set off to explore the city and do some caching. We almost walked pat this one, and had to retrace our steps a little. TFTC

Quick find for Charlie - the areas been pruned so it’s pretty exposed now

Nice find! Used the nature to hide again

On my Tour in Auchland I found some cache.

Best regards from Germany

Number 2 for the day.

Out nice and earlier to collect my 2019 New Year souvenier. Thanks supernannny..

Cool toys to swap. Thanks! Quick easy find despite misunderstanding the hint...

Gevonden!

Came in via some steep steps. Mrs spotted it just before I was going to go up the bank.

TFTC

Only a few logical places for a small here…found at the 3rd (and most appropriate) place we looked...TFTC!

Great cover

Found after a short search, logging in field, TFTC.

Had a bit of time between meetings so popped to a couple of spots to look for caches. Quick walk from the car here and saw where the cache was likely to be and sure enough cache up with it after a short hunt. All good here and thanks for the cache.

A nice easy find! It’s a great place for walking the geodog - the sound barriers are amazing!

We were in the area collecting information for the new multi, and made a short detour to collect this one which we saw on our approach. We rehid it better before leaving.

We were close by to get information for the new multi and saw this one was close so made the walk to gz and spied the cache on approach so rehid it better after signing the log

Quick find while out for a walk. No pen to sign the log

We used our first day in Auckland for a couple of extended walks with the purpose of finding Caches.

Quite a bit of Muggles on this stretch of the way, so we had to bode our time to retrieve and replace the container. Fortunately, the coordinates were spot on, so we didn't need to search long.

Thanks for this Cache!

We spend our first day in Auckland with fighting our jet lag and finding a few caches as distraction. this one took us quite a while, not for searching, but for waiting fo a muggle free spot. Thanks for hiding!

Ryan stopped to pick up a few caches on the way back to his flat after a weekend at home...this one was on the way and was a nice place to stop on his side of the bridge. TFTC

Tftc

Very cool cache! Thanks!!!

MJ & DM say thanks.

We found this chache on our tour in the rain through Ponsonby.

Found on our walk today! Jenny & rob

Out this afternoon filling in a few of the gaps on our map.a nice quick find for us here today.

A nice stroll on a sunny lunch escaping the CBD and work! Lost pen on the way so habe photo log if reqd. Tffyc

I had been for a ride out south on the train doing some caches, and had also joined up with the Onzo bike app today. However I had been getting a bit disheartened with the Onzo thing as I had come across a couple of the bikes left on private property while out Glen Innes way this afternoon. One of the bikes I could see leaning up against the garage inside the fence being guarded by a large dog, so didn't bother to go and knock on the door to see if they had finished with it...
However upon my return on the train to Britomart, I decided to have another go with Onzo, and quickly found one of their bikes nearby, just the next block over. No problems this time, scanned and unlocked, and made my leisurely way around the waterfront and along the trail to GZ on the bike.
A nice quick find with great coords and hint, before I backtracked to the bus stop on Fanshaw St to catch my bus to Albany, and left the Onzo bike nearby for the next lucky person.
Thanks for the fun cache along here

Ok

Thanks super nanny

TFTC!

Thanks, Supernannny! This was really cool! I came here walking the geodog and thought “hey! I’ll find that cache here”! TFTC!!!

I was over this way yesterday finding another cache nearby set up by d4dave. However, as it was raining I called it quits at one find. Ironically it turned out that I had a work appointment nearby, and thus my return to this area today. As I made my way to GZ I timed it perfectly as there were some council gardeners who were working right at GZ who had just taken a break. And so while they had smoko further along the walkway, I was able to make the find undisturbed. So the log book has been signed and the cache is nicely back in its spot all ready for the next finder. So thank you supernannny for taking the time once again to set up all of your caches. As always... much appreciated

Out and about for a spot of caching, for a few hours, during this overcast day. I parked up at the pool car park and took the stairs, by the bridge, down to the walkway. As I approached GZ I spotted a likely looking nook (or was it a cranny?) and went in for a closer look. Yep, found it no problem. Waited for a muggle walker to pass by before replacing the hide. Cheers for the cache placement!

Out for a walk at lunchtime on a lovely winter's day. No muggles on this walkway at all. Cache in good condition.

Tftc for the nice wee hide found with abcdf4 was pouring down in huntly so went to aucks to get some more caches.

Nice wee walk Lovely area,motorway just right there,easy find

TB Drop

Had the nicest walk with Rich to GZ. Someone was clearing the weeds from near the path so it a quick get to and escape from. TB+

Not a bad find without using coordinates!

When I saw this cache published on one of my usual lunchtime running routes last month I wondered if there was any chance of an FTF... but no, found long before lunchtime. So I left it a while and decided to have a look today while I was running past. No problems spotting something that matched the description, and made a quick find. Thanks!

Again, it’s very dark, early morning and what a lovely little walk this is! I started at the C.O’s recommended parking spot at the bottom of St Mary’s Rd. I took my umbrella in case it might rain again. Got to GZ and I started to worry a little. Why is the cellphone pointing over there? Then I read the description as you do. So since I have my gumboots on, no worries crossing the very wet terrain. I found the cache in the first spot I checked. No muggles I think will ever knick of with this cache! Co-ords spot on. Thanks supernanny for another cache! Would have come for the ftf of this but I was rather tired at the time and was ready for bed.

Log later

We were pleased to see another cache pop up on this walkway as we enjoy coming here.
There was no one around this afternoon so the cache was quickly located. The hint had us scratching our heads at first but made sense once we made the find.
Thanks supernanny for another of your nicely hidden caches.

Parked up at Pt Erin and headed down a pathway beside the pools. Soon encountered several large fallen trees blocking the way. Managed to make my way around one of them and then slid the rest of the way down a bank to the walkway below. Cache quickly located once at gz. Surprisingly pleasant walkway even though it is right beside the motorway. Daily cache sorted. Found another set of stairs back up to Pt Erin.

Nice short stroll at lunch. Surprised at how effective the sound wall is for large sheets of perspex. I found myself in the wrong area as well, but with a small adjustment in vector, cache quickly in hand, and TB picked up. On my way back, I realized I had parked next to the most recent property sale in the area of $3 Million, for an old family home. TFTC

I short scramble......once I reached the top, I realized id gone just a little to far....bugger....how do I get back down.
still once I realized I was in the wrong place, and moved slightly, cache soon to hand....dropped TB off....thanks Supernanney for a Thrill Seeking experience i could have done without LOL

cheers Roger.

A can of worms is better than a plane full of snakes. Eeeeek.
Tftc

Difficult to get a break in the foot traffic to go in and search, but thankful it was in the first spot I looked when I finally got to look.

TFTC

Woke up this morning to see this new cache published and no "Found It" logs. Didn't really like my chances but with only a "Write Note" from one of the "FTF Pirates" I figured I might as well detour down here on my way to work. Parked at Point Erin and wandered down for a pleasant walk pre-dawn but still with mega traffic on the motorway. Nice quick find at the GZ and WooHoo!! a clean log!! TFTC supernannny and for {FTF} No 32 on Streak Day #477

Thanks for the cache.

I'm not sure this one is in the South Island

Oh No!
This is definitely in Auckland...North Island!
Good spotting FMZ.
