We have to relocate the cache, and since it was already found once, been advised to archive this page, and make a new page for this cache in it's new location.

Hi Pohanginagirls

I am temporarily disabling this cache as there appears to be major issues with the coordinates, and also it appears where the cache is actually located is far too close to another cache already in place.

Please confirm the correct coordinates for this cache. If the coordinates in the FTF log are accurate, then this cache will be archived as it is too close to another cache.

Regards
The Coddiwompler

WOW another {FTF} Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin (13:00). Was at home doing some work on the computer and was deciding on where to go and find some caches for the day, being ANZAC Day, I really didnt want to go out too early as the ceremonies were in full force all over the place and I really didnt want to cause myself any issues. So decided that I would start looking at going somewhere after 09:00 and in the end with the three new caches that were published the temptation was far too much for me to leave so it was time to make my way to Pohangina and see if I could score a couple of FTFs.

After finding GC3A42Z - From Branches to Roots (Manawatu), this was the next cache that I had on my list that i wanted to find today, as I looked at the co-ordinates it was putting me 335 metres away at 271 degrees true, the only issue with this there is a very very deep gully between the two co-ordinates and the second is it is in the middle of a praddock in the middle of nowhereSurprisedRed Face.

Decided to read the cache page description more closely as I was making my way back out and then had a moment SurprisedRazz[^], and thought to myself it cant be can it, surely not SurprisedSurprised[xx(], that will be impossible under the rules of the game, but it is worth checking. Realised what was going on and decided that it might be true.

Finally walk back out the 850 metres back to the start of the track really didnt take too long and I was very surprise that I was able to get back out in super quick time. Finally arriving back at the car, I decided that I would put all my gear back into the car as I had a backpack on as I always take it with me if I go more than a few metres from the car, mainly for safety issues.

Finally it was time to go and check the obvious spot, which was only 10 metres from where I parked my car, and after a short search, I soon spotted something that needed a closer look and soon realised that it was the cache. Now how can that be as it is 737 metres away from the published co-ordinates and it 17 metres away from GC86NGH - Branch the Road (Pohangina, Manawatu)SurprisedSurprisedSurprised. Obviously there is something amissed here.

Managed to retrieve the cache, opened to find a pristine logsheet, signed and then replaced the cache back where I found it. Thanks pohanginagirls for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (14402). Yeetrees FTF craze also visited GZ as well, was very surprised that the cache is here, but managed to find it using Geosense.

Was totally impressed with the size of the container as well as it contents, very impressive indeed and a job well done, love the work and effort that has gone into making the cache a great pleasure to find.

Now it is time to go back to the car and make my way to the next cache that I was looking for.....
