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 a prior reviewer note.

Hi BrolgaandTui

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.

Regards

A quick find today after two previous visits in the past. TFTC

I used to have a Multi final location here at this exact spot so knew where the cache would be if it was there. I've added a pill container with RITR sheet at GZ, hope the CO is OK with this after the recent DNFs. All quiet here today.

After a trip up to Ohakune yesterday, and mapping out my latest Ad Lab I wasn't sure what todays weather delights would be. A promising forecast this morning was enough to encourage me out onto the trail (it doesn't take much!) and I was rolling into Feilding not much after 0900 to knock some of those caches off. Thanks to all COs for their listings.

Due to the postponement of the Auckland Mega, Buttels and the Crystal half decided to use the dates planned for the event to do some caching between Wellington and Palmy. Quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache
 
24-Oct-21
Spend a bit time looking for this one as the co-ords were about 10m out. But after expanding to search the container was located. Was with Crystal Fairy as we headed up to Palmerston North for a weekends caching. TFTC
 
22-Oct-21
I had a day's leave organised for today to head up to Auckland for the Mega Event. Covid alert levels mean that, that plan has gone down the gurgler (for now). I decided to take the day off as planned, and do a day trip up here. The lovely spring weather made for an enjoyable day's caching. I had some lunch here. Beware of the ants. TFTC

I found myself staying in Palmerston North last night, and feeling no great rush to get home today I decided to head up to Feilding to do some caching up there as it's not a place I get to often enough.

By this time of the afternoon I was almost ready to start making my way home, but there's always the pull of 'one last quick cache' so I detoured to make my way to this one. I think the weather kept enough people away to make my search nicely uninterrupted. I was the only car in the carpark as I made my way to GZ and spotted an object almost immediately. Absolutely no issues with the container or log, so a quick sign of the log and it was all put back exactly as found before heading for home.

Thanks for placing this cache.

After a couple of nights in Marton we headed over to Feilding today, picking up a few caches along the way and in Feilding itself. We completed the local Adventure Lab cache(s) and picked up a couple of nearby traditional caches too. This was one of those. A quick find. #3848. TFTC.

Tonight I ran a Geocaching session for the Feilding Girl Guides unit.
I placed 11 'caches' around the perimeter of the field of the school next door to their hall, which they found with enough time to spare for us to attempt a 'live' geocache.

Having just avenged their DnF on Coathanger Crossing, we were walking back to the hall when I suggested that we do another 'live' one - the fact that it's one that I haven't done yet either is irrelevant Razz

On approach, I suggested that the structure up ahead would be a good starting point, however the GPSr beeped short of this and I immediately noticed a UPR that looked promising.
The girls searched for a few minutes before I focused their attention and the log was soon extracted.

Thank you for placing this cache.
The Girl Guides really enjoyed their night.

I finished a bit early today so I came to Feilding for a walk and to grab a couple of caches despite the strong, cold wind.
I first tried an obvious location but after not finding the cache followed the GPS to another spot for a quick find.
Not sure I get the pun in the cache title though.

I hatched a plan to get 2021 caches by the end of 2021. This did not go quite to plan but managed to get out and about on the 3 day of 2021 to grab some caches around Feilding, then toward Awahuri then Bulls on the way home.

This cache turned out to be 2021 in 2021! Was a quick find at GZ, signed log and left cache with plenty of cover. Thanks for the placement BrolgaandTui.

Was spending a couple of days in the Manawatu area for work and after spending the night in Palmerston North last night. Spent the morning in Palmerston North for work and then heading too Fielding for work and after finishing work, I decided that I would go and pick up a few caches while I was in the area.

After finishing an appointment at a nearby client, it was time to go and pick up some lunch, while I was doing this I decided that I might as well go and check my GPSr and soon spotted this cache on my GPSr and decided that since I was in the area I might as well go and see if I could find this cache.

The drive to GZ really didn’t take too long as I made my way around Fielding towards GZ, decided to let the GPSr guide me to GZ. Having being here previously seeking information for another cache, I knew exactly where I needed to go. Arriving near GZ, I decided that since that there were so many spots that to choose from, I decided to park in the car park near GZ and as I enter the car park, I thought that my chance might be quite poor, but as I got further into the car park, I noticed that there was a few empty parking spots to choose from.

I managed to find a safe parking spot and checked the GPSr and soon realised that I was within 10 metres of GZ, well that was so clever if I say so myself, you could call it a P&G at this point RazzRazzRazz.

Once I got out of the car, I decided to check the hint and then it was time to walk over to GZ and I soon realised that this was going to be and once I got t GZ, I soon saw something and soon realised it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, extracted the logbook, signed and then returned the cache back to where I found it. Thanks to BrolgaandTui for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot. TFTC TNLNSL (15316). Another nice little urban cache.

Now it is time to go back to the car and start making my way out of Feilding as I need to start making my way towards my next appointment..............

The third and final cache for me today (other than completing the stages for another multi but not finding the cache). The area was very quiet so no problems making the find here. This is a lovely area to relax and enjoy the sunshine while completing the logging requirements.
Thanks for setting this cache up here.
 
19-Jun-20
We set off from P N do attempt to clean up the newer caches in Feilding, which we basically did , bar the one multi which was a d n f and may be a victim of muggles!.
I remember a cache being in the exact same place a few years ago so it was a fairly quick find here. Thank you for these new caches in our neigbour hood.
 
10-Jun-20
Thanks BrolgaandTui for placing this awesome series of caches!

It was all quiet at GZ so yhe cache was soon in hand and log signed at the nearby table then replaced as found.

Soon after this I was meeting the CO at the We're Out! WOOHOO!! We're Out! event.
Yay - it's great to be caching again!!
