Another cache that KC had found that I hadn't so we stopped along the way to Universal Drive so I could make the find. Thanks for replacing.
Came here to check, but Cache was indeed gone .Have placed another one ....Hope it stays safe .
Had a look under the structure but couldnt see it. Might be my bad looking skills but if you have any tips then Ill be back
Back in the area to pick up the last 2 had to take off New cache has been publishedNo we were to slow Auckland traffic
Heard this one needed maintenance as Camo was peeling off .Came with a new replacement cache .Surprised to find the old one was in the wrong corner !Note it is near the flax bush corner...tucked well under the bushy plant with tiny leaves....be careful it doesn't roll under the bridge!But let me know if it does...
Decided to do a few around the stadium. But left our own way back in the car park. These are good hides and not too hard to find.
Yay! Found and didn't use the hint! Thank you for the history in the description. Lovely hidden gem. TFTC
We had an enjoyable walk along this pathway reading about Chris Timms as we went. We had vaguely heard the name but didn't know the details of his history and tragic death so it was interesting to learn about him. What a lovely tribute to celebrate his life and achievements.The Jetty area was mostly deserted apart from one muggle who was doing some training on the nearby stairs, running down the side to side slopes, up the central staircase and repeating over and over.This meant that they mostly had a good view of us and we could see them looking over so they were aware of our presence and we knew timing and stealth would be required.We knew there was approximately a 20 second window when their back would be to us as they ran up the stairs so waited until they began the climb and quickly searched for the cache, fortunately finding it quickly.We then took the cache over to the jetty and signed the log while looking at the view.The cache was returned to its hiding spot using the same method as the find, waiting for the muggle to begin their stair climb.We left feeling victorious and pleased with ourselves at timing the manoeuver, and even more pleased at our timing when we passed a group of muggles who were heading to the jetty and would have made the search even more difficult had they been there.Thanks supernannny for another great cache along this walkway.
i was up in auckland visiting relations and decided to go for a walk after being shut up in an apartment at one of the many retirement villages around this area ! The weather was very nice warm and away from the cool winds i am so used of . A lady was fishing from the jetty and while she caught a small fish about 15 cm longs i do not think eating it when caught from such 'polluted' dirty looking water would be advisable! She had about five fishing rods all lined up along the jetty so she was serious in her attempts to catch something . I took a photo of her activity . The Hint meant you did not have to spend time bending down and hunting thus causing attention to your activities so it was soon located , signed and returned . I took nothing and left nothing and all was well with the cache . many thanks for this cache .
2151. It took a while to find as the cache had rolled deep underneath and I was only just able to reach it. Tucked away under the corner as per hint. TFT(memorial)C.
Up here to be part of the audience for "The Taskmaster" nearby and had a few moments to kill So walked down here with my daughter. Was greeted by Joseph who was on the jetty and wanted to talk. Gave my phone to the daughter so she could look while kept Joseph busy with conversation. Took some time to find but she got there in the end. Happy we went back to the studio where we were meeting the CO for an evening of fun and laughter. Thank you for the placement
I was in the office today for the first time in a while, so decided on my lunch break to head out and grab a cache. This one was close enough that I could grab this on my lunch break.
Upon heading to GZ there was a bike riding muggle who was just leaving, giving me some time to search. I soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. It is all in good condition. Thanks for the cache #1509

There was someone running endless loops around the zig zag ramps so I wasn't able to have a really obvious hunt... When their back was towards me I tried looking but had no luck.
Thanks for sharing the history on the cache page, that was interesting to find out about Despite the hint there were a fair few places to search around at GZ but eventually I found the nicely camoed container with a totally dry log and a plastic giraffe hanging out inside. All good here, thank you! (#1482)
There was a bit of upping and downing but we finally lowered our expectations and found the goods! Thanks!
Me and my brother spent quite a while trying to find it we then decided to get the other one which was not to far away. Came back and found this one. Forgot a pen…
Grabbing some caches before an athletics event. Been to the stadium many times but never knew what was at the back of it. Thanks for making me venture a bit further. Tftc
Took me no time at all to find the cache. On the other hand I think I’ll take a while to appreciate the lovely park. TFTC
Parked up nearby and decided to go for a walk around the paths near here and collect any caches that we passed.Once we got the right corner we managed to make the find here.Thanks for the info in the description always good to learn new things.
Never knew this place was here. Thanks to GC I find nice places like this that are local. Tftc!️
Nearby to do part of an adventure lab. Decided to stop driving and take a walk to finish the day!
Thanks for the cache!
All good here!
Nice place to sit and overlook the water.

My sole 'job' today was to go and get the gas bottle filled and with no nearby options Google directed me to Triangle Road for a trip. Turns out that wasn't right so diverted to Lincoln Road and that was just the thing. Whilst in the area I vowed to pick up some local hides from supernannny and some other nearby ones before heading to the end of Te Atatu peninsula for a first taster out there of a couple. The rain came and went and I snaffled the Waikumete Soldier Adventure labs too whilst 'nearby'. A good day for caching, thanks all COs.
First here and parked out the front of the stadium. Headed down towards GZ and spotted one hint option to search. Turning nothing up I moved forwards and spotted 4 possible options, giot it first go. Nice hide and area here, thanks.

Did a day out this way with the old geocaching buddy Michaelteacher, pretty good run of 20 in total with no DNFs.
Another fairly straightforward find. Cache in good condition, tftc

We found an empty container nearby. Maybe its been muggled. Thanks for getting us out here anyway Supernanny.
Looked carefully all over the boardwalk but only found this empty container. Could it have been muggled?
Such a nice place to visit and didnt know it was here until we looked for the cache. Loved it
Brief visit in Henderson to do newest AL.
Enjoyed my Sunday stroll in the area.
Nice hide! Well placed.

Thanks supernannny for the cache. It’s #1295 for us. We found your cache on 18 July 2020. Once I found the correct place it was a quick find.
Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.

found on 29th of February, leap year. This cache was simple and contained items and an artifact. There was also a pencil in the container so that was convenient.
I remembered this is a nice sized cache, so stopped by here on my way past this arvo to drop off a TB, cheers
Today is the day we get a new souvenir, the 02022020 digital souvenir. Or as I like to call it the Palindrome souvenir. So as soon as I bought my new phone I was off to do this cache seeing as it's close to home and I was dying to get home and have a play with my new phone...
Can't complain about the weather today, not as humid as some days and so after finding the cache and signing myself in, I couldn't resist taking the first fotos at this cache!
Thanks Helen, I see Mr John Gillon might need to look a little harder! I found the large container 2nd place I searched.

Two gates to the carpark were locked but the bit in front of the stadium was still open.

Even though things were happening today, I managed to get a parking spot and wandered over to get this cache. TFTC.
TFTC Had to return for this one as muggles and their 4 legged friends out in force enjoying the sunshine
After taking the elder Future Finder to tine nearby drift carts facility I decided to collect a couple of hides before we stopped for lunch and then headed back home. We parked up in the car park and made the walk to GZ--the FF joined me on this occasion. I remember visiting this location once before, years ago, to find a different cache. Found the hide in the second spot we checked. Checked out the jetty before continuing our walk. Cheers for the cache placement!

We had just attended the nearby BigglesNZ event, when rebel said theres a supernannny cache that I need to find!
Well we took an extended walk, following many tracks less followed, but not before finding the cache. Thanks for the hide, all good here today. Picked up a couple of trackables too, to move onto other adventures.

surprisingly quiet at the jetty today so made searching easier. Didn't take long to find. TFTC
