replacing

Need to check

No luck today.

Gave it a nudge, to sneaky for me today.

Next time.......

Sadly no sign of the cache. Had a bit of a hunt around but suspect it's gone walkies

Only had a quick look while passing on my walk. Found a wire hook hanging on the fence but that wS all.Maybe another time.

Not many places to hide something along here, and after deciding the manhole was a bit far, the green box out of bounds, ditto the crash barrier, I spotted something likely. What a strain it was, but alas no cache in it. The path has been almost as busy as the motorway itself, so

Super sneaky! I did find myself lifting up the manhole ???? but got there in the end ?? tftc!

After locating the secret tunnel under the motorway I headed to the far side, thanks Larsson, and travelled on Shanks's pony to GZ. A quick find and replaced as found before heading back for the other on this side.

Called in on the way back from work and a balmy 21 degrees in the area today and the sun nice and warm. Managed a few finds whilst on my mini-mission and some caches in and around the North side of the Harbour Bridge were todays target. Thanks to all COs for their placements.

Oh so cool, took us 20 mins to figure it out! Will send photo of log to owner asi didn’t pack a pen on this slightly wet walk! Tftc

Nice to see the motorway flowing

What a great camo. Nearly overlooked it. Nice location. Great to stretch the legs

Excellent

Doing the tourist in NZ thing today. Signed log as KTNZ. Another fab cache. Thanks!

Just in time for sunset. Woooosh those cars go quick.

Very nice placement, blends in so well.
We felt a bit conspicuous with all the nearby traffic but hopefully they were all concentrating on the road and not us.
TFTC.

Ha - sneaky! My girls and I found this (between showers) on our midweek walk under the motorway. We've seen a lot of poo on this walk - dog poo along the waterfront, and human poo on the tunnel... yuck. Still, a nice walk, and a nice view from Sulphur Point. Thanks!

Great little hide. Nice day for a walk along the waterfront. Thx

Another quick grab and go! Cute spot and great camo! TFTC

Awesome hide!

Super clever! Well done on the camo

Beautiful Sunday in Auckland. Decided to get few caches in the area after Watchman Island Event. This is one was one of them.
Arrived here on my bike. Nice and pleasant hide with lovely views on Auckland CBD.
TFTC

Another simple, yet effective G2 construction hiding in plain sight...cheers V

Carried on with our walk along here.Took some pictures of the views.Waited for a runner and cyclist to pass by and then it was a quick spot of this bottle top. It looks as though it should be there though.Nice use of cameo.Only a cacher would know.

Nice find while in the area with tmann421 today
Enjoying the trip north and the caches
Signed log as tm/ww NZ

Nice find with woolwood9 today.
*We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.*
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!
TFTC

*Classic G-2 hide, always like the hides in sight that no-one would notice.*

Wandered along here from the other cache, a bit weird wandering along so close to the motorway although it was completely safe and legal. Soon spotted the cache and a nice walk back under the motorway and to the car. TFTC

Added new waterproof log

Well we found one half of it but no log. Does that count? Definitely needs some attention. Tftc.

Forgot our pen but found it

Having to work through last week but now finally on holiday I went to nab this to ensure this dot day no longer exists. Hopefully I can get a mini streak going over the next few weeks.

Cheers for the piggy in the middle? Hmm might need some bacon and eggs for breakfast now.

Fourth found of the day, such a nice hunting day visit places that I haven't been before, very nice view.

Now this would've been VERY hard to find on a busy hiding place.. had a double take before my ear to ear grin when I realised it was truly the cache!
I feel that the logbook is detached to the thing, so take extra careful when extracting. You don't want the log to be blown away!

Got here just after dawn & missed the blood red sunrise I could see on the motorway by mere minutes. Wandered along to GZ to make a quick find. TFTC

I saw it as I approached GZ. As in the previous log, found it jammed up, so put it back where it was found. Thanks G-2.

No trouble finding this one, but I couldn't return the cache to a place where it would stay and also protect the log paper from rain, so it is more jammed in that anything else. TFTC.

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

Planning for the [NZ Mega 2020](http://nzmega.com) event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, 23 to 26 October 2020. It's going to be a massive celebration of geocaching:

* 20 years of geocaching worldwide.
* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

Returned again today to claim a find these replacements caches. A nice quiet (albeit cold) walk through the tunnel. As I was approaching GZ I heard a bell ring behind me. Turned around to find approximately 20 cyclists heading my way. Quickly moved against the fence and let them all pass. Who knew this path could get so busy! At least I made a quick find once at GZ.

After finding another cache close by, I made my way on foot here in the rain. I figured out quite quickly where the cache would most likely be... and on closer inspection I found it lying on the ground. So I dried it off the best I could, signed the log, and put it back where I think it fell from. It should be secure there but I'm not sure how well the log will last? Anyway... thanks heaps for taking the time to set up this cache. And as always G-2... I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC

Never seen one like this before, felt like having a beer after that Great hide. TFTC

A nice wee hide. Thanks for the view.

Heading back to the shore just after lunch, lovely sunny day and the tide is in, so decided to stop on the way to get my caching fix. Parked by the small boat sheds beside the bridge, and walked up to grab this and the next recent G2 cache along from here. TFTC

What a great tunnel!! Reminds me of one of the Harry Potter movies. GPS spot on for a quick find. TFTC.

A brilliant cache in a fantastic part of the city! Thoroughly enjoying exploring this part of the world, and what a spot for a cache! Love the walk, and TFTC!

Smart one

Spotted this one on approach, quickly signed and scampered back to the car, deciding this wasn't a great day to be out caching.

TFTC

I popped out for an hour or two this afternoon with the express purpose of finding some of the newer hides around the neighbourhood. After experiencing success at "old toll booths" I continued the walk into this hide too. A short walk in the sunny winter weather soon had me at GZ. Checked a few spots before I decided to ignore the GPSr and follow my nose. Soon in hand after that. Cheers for the cache placement!

Out on a sunny but windy day. Decided to pick this one up on the way to town. Nice little hide. Thanks G-2.

Beautiful afternoon to head off along this walkway considering the weather forecast for the day was abysmal. Had to sit and read the info properly having had a look around and found nothing. That aha there it is moment followed quickly. Nicely done. Logging 3 hours after find, just because we could!!

Was hoping for a FTF on another one of G-2's caches tonight, but me and FMZ were soundly beaten, however the FTF-er still hasn't logged his find over 3 hours later.... grhhhh! Anyway, me and FMZ couldn't be bothered going home so soon, so he suggested coming here, he's already done this cache and the one just north of here but we had some laughs and some good chats about the MEGA next year.

Not much time for caching today, so just a quick outing to Northcote Point. Ted seemed to remember coming to this area previously. Nice spooky walk to come out the otherside. Amazing how many walkers were around here this morning. Quick find. SL. TFTC.

We quickly located piggy, as we have found several of this type of hide by the CO. Not too many muggles out and about on the walkway today.

Having found the precious cache here it wasn't too hard to find this one. There was a weird fog splitting the city in half, quite surreal

Great location for a cache - blends in well, can only be in one place? TFTC

Absolutely Brilliant.!!!!
Had looked there so many times....but not properly !
Def Fave Point !!!!
Thanks Glyn!

I discovered this amazing walkway. I have been imagining a lot of possible place for hiding and concluded that it must be KISS. Thanks for the cache.

Not as quick a find as it should be but did get it... nicely camouflaged to fit in. [FTF] TFTC!!!
