Burlings' Bequest (Masterton) Lansdowne, North Island, New Zealand
By KiwiDragonfly on 13-Mar-22. Waypoint GC9PRQT

Found it

A quick find to fill a micro dot day. We were very pleased it was a cold wet morning as there was no one around. It would be very hard to be stealthy at this one. tftc

Thanks for the cache found it on second visit. Love the Hint

I had passed here a while ago when the cache was in its previous location but had not attempted it owing to the presence of muggles.I couldn't even approach the new location today as it was too close to families and kids enjoying using the play equipment on a lovely afternoon. As I am not likely to be caching in Masterton on days when the weather isn't so good, and I normally come up on weekends so I can use my Goldcard on the train, I may not get a chance to try when the place is quiet!

recently moved around 500 meters away and while going to the park with my brother wego to find it often even though we know where it is tftc!

DNF rubbish too full?

took a while but eventually got it TFTC

#14,794. After our DNF back in June 2022 when the cache had gone due to new development here, we returned today to Roberts Road in Lansdowne, Masterton for another attempt. Fortunately, the GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Found after a bit of a search. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.*Thanks for the geocache placement, and for bringing us to this site, and *.T h a n k s. .f o r. .t h e. .c a c h e.**.M a u r u u r u. .k o e. .n u i. .a t u. .h o k i. .t e. .k e t e r o k i.*

Found on a short holiday to this beautiful place. Thankyou for your contribution to geo caching

Heading put after breakfast. Nice little park TFTC

New cache ready to play.

I will have to check this out when I am home in a couple of weeks time.

Cache appears to have been muggled, these are only remains I could find, log nowhere in sight.

Hidden really well

Very cool. TFTC.

Nothing like a rest during the dog walk!

Quick and easy. Love the hiding technique, very smart.

I don't think I had been to this part of Masterton previously. There was no surprise about where the cache was hidden but a some extra effort has gone into making this a better hide than what I normally see at such locations. I just managed to complete my mission when a car pulled up with a family who were there to use the nearby facilities.

Nice a quiet here today. The cache was soon found. TFTC

Easter weekend, and with the paradox that only family can create, I both need to be in Wanganui and not in Wanganui at the same time. Today I spent the morning with family and then was able to free up the afternoon, so once again it was off a-geocaching I did go. Quite a few DNFs, but still managed to sign 51 logs before I ran out of steam.

As I was making my way south I made the short side trip here. No problems finding the cache as described and expected.

Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Well that was a tricky one! Getting close to 1000 finds! Yahoo!

Took a bit as the whole thing turns
two hands needed which made it interesting for backside views

A day trip to masterton from hawkes bay just for something to do. Find a few caches and have a coffee.
This was a quick find. Lucky was quiet today wouldn't want to search on a busy day.
Thanks for placing the cache KiwiDragonfly.
Find number 4705.
Log signed b&p.

A nice quick find. I almost left as there were 2 council mowers about to start mowing. Then they drove off down the road! lucky for me. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are off for a wee break "up north". Today we drove from Masterton to Wellington to catch an early morning ferry. The weather got wetter the closer that we got to Wellington.

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

Tftc easy find for a quick rainy stop

**17,547**
A nice quick find after we gave the dogs a quick run around and waited for a muggle to leave GZ. Now off to Maccas because we deserve a cold drink and an ice cream. TFTC

Initially we were muggled by someone who found the obvious location irresistible on a very hot morning. After getting sweaty ourselves waiting for them to leave, we left and came back when the temperature was a lot cooler. Easy find and in great condition, TFTC

Heading back home after Christmas at grandma’s. Decided to find a cache on the way. Luckily no muggles around today - could see how this could be a tough retrieval at times.
Thanks!

A Quick easy one with help from Paua.
TFTC.

.

Something caught my eye quickly and yes there was the cache! TFTC!

Thanks for restoring this one.

I wasn't hopeful of being able to do this one on a Saturday but thought I would give it a try on a day trip to Masterton.

Sure enough a muggle was occupying GZ and I needed to move on to get lunch and do another cache at the other end of town.

Fun

Come

Stayed the night in a tent at Carnival Park Pahiatua. After this morning event, I went down to Masterton. Thanks KiwiDragonfly for the cache.

Slight shift in cache due to park redevelopment work.

Finally back in play. With the redevelopment of the park it has become so popular it took me about eight visits before I could replace this cache without being muggled.

I believe the park rebuild has been recently completed. I will investigate and hopefully reinstate this cache in the next several days.

Looking forward to doing this one in the future when it can be enabled, will give me an excuse to explore the nice looking eating and coffee places in First Street area that I "discovered" today on the way to another cache!

With the new development here this cache has gone. I will look at restoring it once the work has been completed.

Will need to investigate this one. With the park being redeveloped it may have gone.

It appears that there has been significant reconstruction at GZ and we didn't find the cache nor its likely host.

Passing by
Many thanks

In the mighty wairarapa today as the weather is a lot better here than tukino so this is plan B.

This was our first stop and a very quick find here.

Passing through masterton again and i noticed that i had not logged this cache so it is a rather late log . all was well with the cache and i took nothing and left nothing . Thank you for this cache

Very close to home this one. Perfect for Sunday afternoon dog walk. Tftc.

Need to teach the child to keep it on the down low! #notsubtleatall

Travelling down to Wellington for the second week of school holidays. Last year we cleared all the caches in Masterton so it was good to see 8 newish ones for us to find today. Parked up the campervan on the main road and got on the bike for a bit of exercise. No trouble finding this one or the other seven we looked for. Thanks Kiwidragonfly for the smiley and we look forward to some more caches to find next time.

A quick find early this afternoon in the first place checked. Signed log, TFTC

A quick easy find, with the hint meaning it could be in only one place. TFTC

Great find for the kids tftc

2 April 2022 11:46. Another new cache, and another quick find (no 10941 for me). TFTC KiwiDragonfly

#10,929. I had seen a few new caches published over in Masterton in recent weeks and decided today was the day to come over and look for them. The weather forecast had improved and in fact it was quite a warm and sunny day over here in the east. I picked up Infoferret from her home and we headed over here in the morning. I enjoyed reading the history of this park. I really like philanthropy. People take so much from the world they live in and its great when they start to appreciate how rewarding giving is. I managed to find this one after reading the hint. Yes you would have to be careful placing this. Signed the logbook and replaced the cache where found. Thanks KiwiDragonfly for hiding the cache here.

Love the hint,! On a road trip with haydn.seek tftc

Out for a quickie with Lamroc
Thank you for the cache

Tftc quick find tonight too many niggles this morning

Published

3rd to find at 17:58. I think I may have see the first two finders leaving the park as I arrived. A good hide and that must have been difficult to attach so a favourite given. TFTC KiwiDragonfly and for more history about important people of Masterton.

FTF with Swamidoodles. Brilliant to see new caches in the area. I laughed out loud when I found the cache, nice humour. Really appreciate your new caches kiwidragonfly. Thanks so much. I left a little trinket in the cache for next finder. Tftc

Found with Worded Poet (FTF) just lucked out being up the hill! Lovely traceable type coin to log and send off.
