Great cache gets my favorite point.
Tftc
 
10-Jul-23
Great spot and view, all in good order. I do wonder about the wisdom of encouraging geokids to ignore a danger sign when there's bait and traps nearby. Tftc
 
07-Jul-23
We were a bit worried about the danger sign, but we found it easily. Just didn't want to touch it in case. But we got there!
 
06-Jul-23
Awesome cache, only seen one similar to this before

Great cache and a sweet view!!
 
01-Apr-23
I've been here before!! A very long time ago. I was with a group but cannot remember who was in that group. Maybe I didn't sign it because I was working a streak and wanted to save it for another day. In which case it was probably about 3 years ago. Anyway, nice cache, and just large enough to not get ruled out for a favourite.

The team had plans for today, but the weather ki-boshed that, so after a morning of teaching my sister how to bottle pears, NZ_B and I went for a spot of cleaning up Wellington. I thought Miramar peninsula would be about right as both of us had some cleaning to do there.
 
01-Apr-23
To easy the description was to good
 
26-Mar-23
Thanks, beautiful viewpoint!
 
25-Mar-23
Loved it. This is the reason I geocache.
Thanks for the cache
 
23-Mar-23
A friend's plane was late to arrive so figured I would start my day off with a cache I've been meaning to get for ages. Knew where to look as soon as I arrived. Great stuff.
 
09-Mar-23
Cool spot, almost missed it!
 
08-Mar-23
Pretty quick find and an awesome view from up here!
 
08-Mar-23
My pen was out of ink so I've just left an imprint.
 
04-Mar-23
Awesome cache, the best one I've found for a long time. Great location too, enjoyed the views and had a walk along further and found myself looking at the top/back of the Wellywood sign! Hadn't intended to find this cache today but noticed it had a lot of favourite points now that the new feature on the app shows them on the map. And now it has an extra one Smile TFTC

Quick find while spectating airplanes with a toddler ️
 
01-Feb-23
Had an appointment in the city this morning so with a little time to spare we thought we would grab a few of Welly's cooler caches.
Back when I was a kid "Recycling" was what you did on your bike on the return journey from somewhere. These days recycling is a popular and very necessary part of life. So why not recycle a geocache location? A great idea I thought.
I had visited the previous cache that was here many years ago so knew exactly where to go for a nice quick find.
TNLNSL Thanks radionut50

The theme of the day is hill climbs it seems. Each time I get back to the car hot and sweaty and as soon as I cool down I’m faced with another hill.
Nice hide! We saw a big plane come in so we sat on a seat for a bit and watched some planes for awhile. TFTC

got to watch a plane take off and had a view of a beautiful sunset. what a great location thank you
 
01-Dec-22
WOW

This cache was certainly impressive.

Many years ago, me and my dad would frequently pay a visit to this hill to watch the planes at the airport. It has been a long time since I was last up here. Earlier this evening, I was running some errands in Miramar, and decided to make a quick detour up this way while heading home. It brought me back a lot of memories from when I was younger.

After pulling up to the nearby carpark, I hopped out and began the short walk to the cache. After a few very brief moments of walking across the grass, I felt a slight sniffle in my nose. 'Dang' I thought to myself as I knew my hayfever was gonna pay me an unwelcome visit again.

Oh well, at least it doesn't affect me too badly, fortunately.

I soon arrived at GZ to begin searching for the cache. I immediately spotted an object I was suspicious of. Remembering the insane number of favourite points on this cache, I investigated this object further. Sure enough, the cache was quickly in my hands. I signed the logbook and replaced the cache as found.

This certainly was an impressive hide and I would definitely give it a favourite point if I could.
