Not Over the Hedge Papamoa, North Island, New Zealand
By Sophilina on 12-Dec-19. Waypoint GC8GWRQ

I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.

Hi Sophilina

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Looks like this one is now missing! Sorry geofam!!

NoLuck

Came with katbowersnz who has found this and it’s not where she put it back, so probs gone?

Looks like i was the last person to find this, but I know I put this back. I Came with a friend to find, and its definitely not there anymore.

Lovely Waitangi morning ride, with a coffee at Henry and Teds and a few geocaches on the way. Hunted for a few minutes with no luck.

Dnf

Searched everywhere next time

To good for me today

Not too sure whether it’s gone but definitely well hidden if it is here

No luck. Think it might be gone as found a hook with a pink plastic toy on the ground beneath.

#937- Found today with my boy. Nice and straightforward. Tftv

Had to quick on this one as a large group of school coming in the direction.

Easy find in our favourite walking area.

??

Lovely sunny day. Nice easy find

A nice afternoon finally to look around and cache...found on the ground and may need a new log soon....TFTC

Easy find today. With the granddaughter. Tftc

Easy find. Thanks

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching. Log paper very wet.

My little bro spotted it first. Nice hide.

Found it on my walk in this lovely area but log was wet. No paper on me. Tftc

Located this one while out walking the dogs, no problem with the find TFTC.

Nice Lille find, was first looking wrong place.. and paper got wet, put small new one in but ideal

Good find little bit damp!

Neat find very literal name

Easy find for the kids!

Nice and easy find, coordinates spot on

I spent the day running around Tauranga getting quite a few caches. This one gave me a bit of trouble as I searched in places where I thought the cache should be instead of where it actually was. TFTC.

Haven't been Geocaching in a while, a good successful find to get back into it. Thanks.

Good easy find! Hedge has just been trimmed so we were a bit worried! But good find!

Back in the BOP visiting family, and hunting down some caches, quick find along this walkway. Cheers

Logging in retrospect... found during a weekend away to the mount - introducing a muggle to the fine game. Thanks for the cache

Nice and easy find, thanks!

It was easy and great spot!

Due to level four getting lifted!

Hi everybody, i am temporarily disabling all my caches until alert level 4 has been lifted due to COVID19 stay safe everybody!

Great cache, nice and easy find.

Spent day geocaching. An easy find.

Quick find thanks!

Done

Very simple and nice

On the way home for a weekend away with the family. Needed to stop to sort out the little one so knowing there were a few geocaches nearby, I parked near this park and made the most of the stop.

This one took a lot longer than it should of, nicely done.

This was an easy find

After cycling back from the Kaituna River we thought we would grab this one. TFTC

After reading TNXPros log coupled with the fact I was coming over here anyway - I figured I could come and check this one out. I would seem a muggle spy has taken interest in the happenings here and has taken the bison and ditched the log sheet. I have replaced the container and reattached in a more hedge friendly position. Same coords and same D/T but I'd encourage the CO to make their way out here just to check on it. Cheers Sophilina

Spent quite a while looking for this, but in the end all I could find was a log sheet on the ground, signed and tucked it back closer to the fence. Co needs to do some maintenance.
I noted there's quite a lot of damage to the hedge, which a cache location should not cause.

Another good find while out and about

Mrs Geckoh was sure she had been here and found this one, checked the log and found out this too was a new placement, great stuff!
On a mission to clear out the Papamoa map today.

Found after a short search while on my holiday in NZ. TFTC

This was our first ever find! Super cool! Took us a little while but got there!

Found 11.55am
This one was almost a drive by. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap) and nieces... We have revised and updated our Caching Hit List for 2020 - This is a collection of hides we really want to tackle while we have summer holidays and Daylight Saving... Our plan is to incorporate at least some of these caches into our adventures. Our big Hit List target for today was to tackle the NTA Trail at Aongatete. However, Gap had some commitments around town which meant a small tweak to the plan - Instead of a morning walk, let's do it this afternoon...

We started with this hide and drove as close as we could manage... There were a few energetic sorts about, getting their early morning exercise on. We generally had a lot of freedom in the meantime to search freely. The cache was quickly spotted. Thanks Sophilina and TFTC.

Was very keen to get these three which have popped up on my gc map since I last was staying here.
Took me a while but got there!
Thanks for these new caches you have placed Sophilina!

Out for a bike ride/ geocaching mission along this track. Was very determined to find this one after a DNF on our last one Didn’t take long until cache in hand.

Down this way for a run tonight nice and warm and luckily no muggles around Cache quickly found as coords were good. TFTC

First find in awhile with the kids.

First find of 2020. Had to use our invisible pen today though.

After a little bit of hunting and then waiting for muggles we managed to find and log the cache. Awesome to have another local one. TFTC

Needing a caching fix and a lil walk to try walk off all my Xmas over indulging. Lol. Nice tidy placements and good co ords. Many Thanks.

A nice walk to GZ with young grand child in tow... I gave him the GPS and responsibility to locate the hide ....amazingly he was soon pointing to the cache ..
“ I am too short to reach” he cried lol soon had the log signed and replaced as found ...thanks sophilina

First cache for us for 2020. What a hot day! We headed out here late in the afternoon for a couple. This one took a few minutes to spot. All good here, TFTC!

It was too hot to walk to this cache so in the car and around to the skateboard park area which was very well patronized. When we arrived at the hedge junior was in like a shot to find the cache. It was a bit high for him to reach but he was still happy to find it. Thanks for the cache Sophilina

Been saving this one as I knew I'd need a New Year's Day cache and didn't particularly want to fight traffic. Far too hot for caching today but pleasant in the evening. First cache of the new decade. I noticed a few of the usual suspects doing the same. TFTC. Happy New Year!

We did some freedom camping on the carpark nearby and before dinner we took a walk and found this cache.

This one wasn't quite where I expected to find it but I was glad to get there in the end. Cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Cheers Sophilina, TFTC

Tricky to find, these types of caches do love to hide behind leaves. Thank you for the cache

First to log but not FTF,beaten by 10 mins.Most people seem to be going on holiday or shopping so I had the place to myself.Managed to spot the cache almost the moment I got to GZ.Thankyou Sophilina ,all is well.

{FTF} Saw this on publication day and thought about going for the FTF, but the weather and a massive workload put paid to that. Checked again today and saw that it was still showing as un-found, so we made a lunch time mission to GZ. I was thinking that we either wouldn't find it, or we would find it, but it would have a log entry already. I should have been more positive because with the help of the junior team member, we had it in hand within a couple of minutes (although it was darn tricky to spot!), and when we unrolled the log it was blank! What a feeling! TFTC - love this area with so much going on!
