Can confirm missing, time to say goodbye Thanks to everyone for finding, and sharing your adventures

Will check when next going past

Nothing here

Couldn’t find it! Our fir at time so maybe it’s our inexperience.

It might be there but I couldn't find it today.

Stopped by on my bike on the way home from Ecomatters in New Lynn. I've never been past here before so was not prepared for how steep that hill was... but at least this cache and the park was a chance to rest about 75% of the way up.

It was nice and straightforward with the hint, a bit hard to open though, but I managed. Only 1 name on there taking up almost a whole side of the log... but still lots of space.

Nice park - thanks for showing it to me by placing a cache here!

Hell yeah

Needed the help of my professional geocaching girlfriend

Found It. Good hiding spot

So cool! Partner wrote on it with lipstick

Cache replaced. Looks like olayground getting an upgrade. All good with hide

Could be missing, will check soon

Had a pretty good look. Couldn’t find it.

I’ve driven past here countless times.

Today finally stopped to take a look.

Unfortunately I didn’t find anything.

Could be my eyes missing it, could be a problem.

No clue, will monitor what happens and come back.

Busy road to cycle one, but cavch was in an obvious spot.

Small but cute find!

Was looking all over the bus stop, @G3NI3 had to come and rescue me and showed me the right spot

Found it

Keylev and I were on a mission to really crank up the numbers today. So better get to it!

It was the last one for the night. I was getting hungry and Keylev couldn't stop yawning. TFTC!

As luck would have it NZTravellers, B4Dawn and I realised that all our other work and social commitments aligned to give us some free time this week so what better way to put this to use then some afternoon / evening / night caching the WHOLE week!!! This is day 3 so by now the early work starts so that we could finish early and have more afternoon caching time was kicking in but we were not going to let that stop us. Unfortunately both of the NZTs had to pull out of the adventures so it meant only B4Dawn and I were on the caching hunt tonight.

Lucky last for the night to make it a nice round number of 30! Started searching the wrong structure before correcting and then making a quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

A very quick find, spotted cache on approach - that is just the way we like them. TFTC

Cute, if i had had some time wld have given the log some in the sunshine to dry it offa bit. TFTC. Loved the view walking down the hill.

Quick find here for the final cache of the day! Nice little park. TFTC

Cool cache TFTC

Nice and easy on the way to Titirangi
Allok
Thanks

Super quick find here today while no one was around TFTC

Yay 1st LOCKDOWN find...Stay safe everyone, happy hunting

Log replaced

We find it but there was no log

Co

I enjoyed the park. Had my lunch and tried the swing. TFTC

Nice easy find to tick off a dot day TFTC

Found!

Today was one of the few remaining empty calendar days on which we needed a cache find. Somewhat stupidly we left it to the last minute and found ourselves at 930pm searching. We were on our way home from a fun Silent Disco CityWalk which was alien themed. So after finding the cache we popped our headbands back on to take a photo for you! Thanks for replacing this cache, I remember trying and failing to find the previous one.

Had to make another account but super cute find on my walk

️️️

Found! Nice easy find

Collecting new edition of Wonders of the World. Clever urban hide.

Great find for the kids! Clue definitely helps! Paper a bit wet but able to dry out a bit today! TFTC!

Out and about for a few hours of cache detection this afternoon, for the first time in 2021. Certainly a nice and sunny day for it. Time for one last find before heading for home. I parked up in the car park and made the short walk around to GZ. The cache was found in the first place I checked. I recall finding V1 many moons ago now. Right, home time. Cheers for the cache placement!

A quick find! Almost dropped it in though. Paper wet but fine to write on. TFTC

- John has spoken.

Quick find tftc

Located this one on an evening cache hunt with kiwitrecker1. I recall finding an earlier one at this location, great to revisit the site. Neat little cache too!

Good find!!!

Took me longer to find than it should have!

Nice quick find

Cute

nice hide!

Found it!

Nice and easy, Tftc

Cool

Easy find - thanks for leading me to this park!

Would like to say we found this cache at 2 minutes past 2 o'clock on the 2nd of February 2020, but we found it earlier than that. Having visited this park previously we knew exactly where to park, and made our way towards gz. A muggle was in the nearby bus stop, so one of us kept an eye on them while the other zoomed in for a quick find.

Looking for a quick cache today and this seemed to fit the bill. Quick look in a likely looking spot and the cache was in hand.

Nicely hidden and a good hide - TFTC

Found when out and about with Team Welsh catching up on life. Very nicely done.

Found the original after it was missing and then replaced and think this one will last longer. Out with Pagenz today and it was nice to find a cache that we both hadn't found. Thanks

The hint is either 100% correct or 100% incorrect depending on which way you are going. TFTC.

After a DNF in Wattle reserve we were still in need of our daily cache. 1st stop though was the super market for some water plus a bite to eat as we had not come out prepared and were all a little bit hot and bothered after our walk back up from the shoreline at 'Wattle Walk'. Now onto phase 2 - finding an easy park n grab to finish the day. Scotty spotted this one on the app and it seemed to fit the bill. As it turns out we all remember visiting here before and finding V1. V2 gave us no issues. Cache was spotted immediately once at gz. All good. Daily cache sorted TFTC

Gorby had placed it too deep, and I couldn't reach it despite its attachment. Eventually got my hand in but took a fair bit of damage to my hand in the process.

On our way home after a caching afternoon in NewLynn. We had found the previous cache at this park so parked up searched for this one. Easy find once activity read. Tftc

I had spent most of this morning starting at midnight, solving and finding a puzzle of tuolei's and got an FTF with kiwicouple at about 6:30am, that's a good start for the day and only an hour or so of sleep! Lol.

So while I was still awake I decided to come here on my way home-ish. The gates are still closed when I get here, so I basically parked on the footpath next to them. I noticed a few cars inside the gates and I presume they stay there overnight deliberately and haven't been locked in as such.

So I started down the footpath because that what my phone told me to do and I always listen to my phone... and after an initial search in the wrong area, searched in the correct area and found something unusual! Oh my, we have ourselves a cache. Signed in and after several yawns I decided on McD's for an early breakfast. Thanks for the new cache rusty and this park has certainly grown up since the C.O had a cache here yonks ago.

Had an hour to spare so thought i'd have a quick look here. Nice one...cheers V

Found the previous cache at this park so called in to collect this one after visiting my sister around the corner. TFTC

For us, this was our second visit to this park for a cache. One of us was slightly ahead of the other as we approached GZ, and she had already found the cache before the second one caught up. An interesting and cheeky hide. Thanks.

I was at my storage unit in Avondale and as this cache was just up the road I detoured slightly to pick it up. Very quiet in the park today so had no trouble finding the cache

Found nice and quickly cool little park easy find tftc.

Was at Pak n Save Lincoln when I noticed this on my phone.
Only 15 mins drive!
Thought I'd have a go at ftf.
( Just in case everyone was out of town on holiday! )
Took me longer than it should but found it....
But others had been quicker...as they both live pretty close!
Cheers...yes, I remember being here before.
Thanks rustynz for your reaearch...

Was sitting at home when a few new cache alerts came through.....first was a bit to far for us - but the next one - yes. So off we went, on arriving only a few cars in car park but no people. Started our search when we see another car arrive.... we were hoping that maybe this person had gone for a ftf on the other cache.....
FMZ joined us on our search & soon had Cache in hand to sign in for a Joint FTF. TFTC

I was out the door and on my way towards a new cache at Hamlins Hill when this popped up on the radar, so turned around and headed back to find Bay7 already near GZ searching. After a short hunt together we came up with it - a brave hide indeed. Joint [FTF] TFTC!!!
