Stumped at which way to go? ( Waiuku) Waiuku, North Island, New Zealand
By flossy63 on 22-Dec-20. Waypoint GC945EE

A perfect spot to place a cache. Thankyou.

Thanks for my first find!

Great camo! Thank you

Found it! Well camouflaged!

Look carefullyGood cammo

Thanks! Great one with the kids!

Nice

It may not be the sign post you think it is

Tftgc

I went straight down the grass bank towards the big tree before realising that the cache was a bit further away. When I got to GZ I quickly spotted the cache, and a slightly easier route that I could have taken.

Have replaced Log with Water proof paper put in this afternoon,

Wow These camos are good! Managed to find this one and may have to revisit the previous ones now that I have an example.Unfortunately the log is super wet, so attached log instead.

Looked around but didn't see it, I wonder if it's covered by autumn leaves or something

Kids super impressed with camo. Grandmas FTC. Paper very wet inside

#835 I appreciate the effort that has gone into the camo on this one. I doubt this will ever get muggled!

GPS was off for like 6 meters

Wow! A great camo and neat little hide. TFTC

Found w Mrpretty. Really tricky camo! Enjoyable walk tftc

Noiiiccce camo

Sweet hearty find

Very well camouflaged

Yay. A smiley face and a fab camo on this one.

Tftgc

Tftc. Nice camo

Tftc

Ez

Gone

Well done on the camo job. Didn't even see it on first look. Blends in well with environment. Tftc.

found by the youngest one, she was very excited! awesome camo again.

Again good camo

Great Camo, didn't have us stumped for long though!

Headed out this way for a coffee and caching with Mrs NZT....wow it was hot today!!

Didn't get too stumped at this one although when Mrs NZT first proudly displayed what she thought was the cache I thought she may have gotten it wrong and it was something else entirely!!! I'm glad I was wrong!

Thanks for the cache

Enjoyed the walk along the coast here. This oe had us thinking for a bit but once we located the hint item we had the cache in hand. As I grabbed it I did think that I was glad it was the cache container and not a K9 deposit! Good Camo here!

Tricky one cos i was getting eaten alive by mozzies & so my hasty searching made life more difficult. Was about to walk away when i spotted it. Log it almost falling to bits. TFTC

This geocacher reported that the logbook is full.

Easy find

Never knew there was a path here. Neat cache too

Another nicely camo'd cache tucked out of the way of the main track.
Thanks for putting this here

We found it on 12 of October 2022 it was hard to find because it was really camouflage.p

Hard find

I have the geo in my log

Epic find, was camouflaged very well !

What a good camouflage. I picked it up before I realised it was the cache.

easy find, TFTC

Was quick find tftc

Very tricky - GPS location way off close to turn off on to path

We hatched a plan with Tufty to visit Waiuku for the day to collect as many caches as we could before the rains came down. After doing the other section of the beach trail we moved the vehicles and set off to find the next coastal caches starting with this one.
Just as well for the specific hint here, or we would have had difficulty finding this very nicely camoed container. Well done and TFTC

Kiwicouple and I had planned for today that we would try and sign off as many of the Waiuku caches as we could. I was limited to smallish walks as I was trying to 'run in' my new replacement knee. So we brought two vehicles out with the idea of placing one at each end of the walks. This did prove very successful.

The coords were about 7m out by my GPS.

Cheers for the cache.

Last cache of the day

GPS kept going in different locations, even with the hint I struggled so much lol

Was about to give up until I finally found it, best camo I've seen from flossy so far. Looking forward to going around the other cache pathway

Found whilst being serenaded by a local tui! TFTC

Great hint.

Cool hide

Could not see

Nice easy find

Unusually disguised cache. Quick find. Love the walks along here. Tftc

This one was well camouflaged, took a bit of searching, reading previous logs and the hint again…. And then soon in hand. TFTC

Awesome my boy found it

Great find!

NZ MEGA 2020 (in 2022) road trip - Day 7

Having had a fantastic day on Browns Island on Sunday, another member of Team Done by 1 (RustyNZ) and I arranged to go looking for the Crayola 64 series. Having completed it by mid-afternoon, we decided that neither of us fancied battling peak hour traffic so would do some more caching around this area. It's been about 10 years since I was last here in Waiuku, and this is my first visit here as a geocacher.

The weather made for a very pleasant walk along here this evening. We were strolling slowly by this time due to both being tired by now (R had far better cause than I to feel tired) but this was a part of our day to take things a bit gentler, so we did.

I walked past this one initially, as my GPS took me a little further along the path, but the Hint put me right after which it was a quick find of the nicely camo'd container. I can't print here what I told R it looked like to me, as that would be a spoiler. No problems to report, and our names were soon added to the log, before we headed off to the next cache on what would end up being a really long, but worthwhile day. I had my best single day ever with over 100 finds

Thanks for placing this cache.

Well the phone seemed to bounce around under the tree cover, but with the help of a great hint, we were soon finding the cache.

Amazing camo again, some discussion as to your methods

Thanks again flossy63 for your hides and bringing us here, with TwigNZ

Container was creative. Probably best not to go off piste from the previous cache to here but it can be done. Waiuku lives up to its name I'd recommend the road. Tftc

A nice quick find thanks. We were glad to get here as we ended up wandering around the shoreline from the point. A bit of a mistake, but we didn't fall over and we really needed to clean our shoes at the end of it!

Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Wellington and beyond here we come. Today we toured around Waiuku area and found some new spots to us. It is a hot summer so far!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Nice tricky little cache here, the clue kind of gives its little hiding spot away.
TFTC...Favorite point given

Auckland alert levels are changing, all go,

Covid-19 level 4 Lock down, caching is NOT permitted In Level 3 or 4, "Stay at Home"

Very enjoyable tour around the spit of land. Tftc

Fairly easy find with the help of the hint. Tftc

Today I started off to Waiuku to do this "new" series and to make some points for the "Reach The Peak" challenge. I tried to find the 10 caches on this little spit of land and it was a successful day for me, since I found most of them.

I was very positively surprised by this well-made series. The caches are without exception nicely hidden, fitted with good hints, rich in variety and creativity and plus located in a very beautiful scenery. The weather also played its part to make it a perfect day of caching for me and my team.

Thanks so much for hiding and maintaining this great series. The CO has put lots of effort in it and it turned out to be very enjoyable! Also thank you for taking me here to this nice walkway, which I probably would never have discovered, wasn't it for Geocaching.
Logs are signed as team Piraten (Piratenschatzsucher!, Pyphant and Greenkiwikids)

With the help of the hint it was easy (as soon as i found the right hint object)
FP from me for the nice scenery. Tftc

When we spotted the dnfs in the previous logs (Gorby hadnt logged his find at this point) we wondered if we would be able to find this one. We looked in a few places and didnt have any luck so read some of the logs. From this we found another hint which helped us to narrow down our search and were very happy to find this very nicely hidden cache. How sneaky.

Well, after 3 DNF's here I had to smile to myself when I found the cache! I was very chuffed to say the least and boy a cunning hide. To the previous unlucky searchers... keep searching, it IS there.

Boy, talk about muggle city! I thought this track would have been muggle free, at least 3 sorts of muggles passed me by, each time I had to pretend I was googling something on my phone. One family went past sooooo slowly, got to the top of the small hill, turned around and dawdled past me again, grhhh.

One guy spotted part of a tree that had fallen down across the track, right by GZ, didn't block it though all together, he said to me the trees need pruning around here, and that he might come back with a hand saw! I hoped that wasn't going to happen while I was still finding the cache! Lol.... anyway, I got there in the end. A FP from me flossy, a very clever little hide.

Found post with red dot on top. Then found some wire about 20cm long near a root of a stump but alas no cache

Didn't find it

Look hard. We found a post with a red dot and lots of stumps but did not find.

Our last find on this section of the walkway and probably the trickiest.
The GPS on our phone was bouncing around a bit so we initially searched in slightly the wrong spot but once we expanded our search it didn't take too long to locate the cache, but we must say it was very nicely hidden and blends in so well.
Thanks once again flossy63.

out with agazo and alunb today, signed log as ana, i never get bored with this hobby, or is it an obsession now, didn't take long to find this one, tftc

Doubling back along here after getting some of the more recent caches, nice easy find with Agazo and nufrat, TFTC

This one was very tricky to find but really enjoyed it

That was very sneaky but enjoyed by us all

Very difficult to find but super fun when you get it got me hooked to hunt for more

I had nice afternoon in Waiuku today. My caching stroll was put on hold two times because of rain showers. But still enjoyed it so much as it was summer rain!
Thanks for new placements in here!
I like painted rocks around GZ too!

Girls day out at Waiuku.
Nice walkway. Thanks

Found

On a girls roadtrip to Waiuku with Supernannny, Nette1234 and Merlot58. This was the last one along this trail for us today, so we were not stumped as to which way to go as we went back the same way we came. A quick find here by the leader of the group (Nette).

One more easy find for our group thanks....
Having a great time caching these new Waiuku caches thanks flossy.

I headed to Waiuku with Supernanny, Nette1234 and Jag50 for a girls' day out caching. We weren't stumped for long here. Thanks for this series of caches, nice to pick them up while they are still new

a nice quick find on a New Years cache hunt

Find number 7196. My daughter who lives in Waiuku is currently walking some of the Te Araroa and was arriving in Takanini today so I arranged to meet her and take her back to her place for the night. She had walked over 30km today so just wanted to rest so while she showered and sat on the sofa I went and collected these newish caches in town.
This was a straight forward find. Well at least compared to the previous one.
Thank you for the placement.

Luckily we went the right way and didn't get stumped lol. Quick find by Kittycat432. SLTNLN TFTC. Now to walk all the way back to cache owners home and drive back to the local campsite, having enjoyed an afternoon out, getting a sunburnt head, and walking off Christmas Dinner.

Didn't get me stumped!!!! Straight onto it, while CO and Doandhopers were talking way back. Nice Camo. Quick easy find. TFTC TNLNSL.

This area looks very familiar from the Ghost of Caches Past. (See what I did there? No? Well, don't worry it wasn't that good anyways.)
I wasn't sure where to look until I re-read the hint. TFTC.
