We had solved this puzzle on the day of publication, but had not been in the area to find it. Today was the day - we made a nice quick find of this small cache. TFTP
Back up in the area with KGD and ABCDF4Hopefully do this areaThanks to CO for making our day
In the area todaySo we decided to do this one and have our lunch hereLots of muggles around today
Solved this when it came out but only in the area today. There was easy access to GZ and thankfully a quick find once there. Thank you for the placement.
Solved puzzle quite some time ago (a few weeks) and came today to get a smiley face. Was busy at gz with many people walking by. Luckily the spoiler photo told us where it was. When no one was around I reached in to make the find. TftcFind #939
We are out with Team Welsh this morning cleaning up some caches around Onehunga. There were quite a lot of people out enjoyng the Mud Lagoon as we made our way towards GZ. Thanks to the spoiler photo we were able to locate where the cache should have been, but there was no cache there. Shortly after that one of us spotted the container in the sand. That was lucky! Signed the log and replaced where it should have been. Thanks.
Had this one solved on publication and KC had it solved as well so we both made our way here. Lots of dogs enjoying the water and we tried to avoid any mud as we made our way to GZ. Made use of the spoiler photo here and were unable to locate the cache initially, Mr KC found it on the ground so once signed the cache was replaced as per the pic. TFTC and he puzzle
Solve was quite easy thanks. In the area today , so was keen to pick it up.Finding it was tricky though ...but got it in the end .
The puzzle wasnt too difficult and we were in the area today. It took a couple of sweeps to spot the hide. I was hoping to see what progress had been made on the Onehunga Fawlty Tower apartment complex I pulled out of after 5 years waiting but it was all wrapped up.
Got stuck into solving this & soon had the green tick. A fun puzzle to solve.In the area today & after checking a few spots, found the right spot. [TFTC]
Phew...Finally !Thanks, Olivewa, for your excellent puzzle and sneaky hide Was out this way to attend an event at Mangere...Was going there by bus.... 4 of them!...and luckily for me, one bus went right near Beachcroft Ave!So hopped off , got the cache, found it and signed it , and hopped on the next bus!Thanks, Gorby, for your mentoring re public transport, plus extra nudge for the hide!Favourite Point for the Adventure .
Went out for a wander today so detoured slightly here to re-attempt this. Even with the spoiler photo I didnt find it first attempt!!! But after being first to solve and first on the scene, I finally extracted the sneaky cache. Thanks for the cache from the mud lagoon!
The C.O confirmed the caches was still there, so went off for a look-see. Congrats on Glengolvie for getting the ftf, when experienced caches could not find it. Shame on us...lol. Took the 13 bus to Glendene, then hopped onto the 14 bus to New Lynn depot, picked up the 68 which dropped me off almost at GZ. Then a short walk to GZ. Cache found first spot I checked... funny that, thanks for the foto to lead us to it Olivewa, appreciate the help there. Co-ords spot on by me today.
Checked on the cache today as there were a lot of DNFs. Cache is still safe and sound. Congrats to glenogilvie for getting the FTF! A spoiler photo is now attached for those who need help:)
Loved the puzzle thanks....one I could solve for once...Well done .Made the trip here today but no joy with finding the cache.Lots of possible hidey holes.Hope is hasn't rolled away Three other cachers were looking too...
Hey, I'm pretty happy with myself, got a First to find, even if I wasn't first to try looking for it. I enjoyed the puzzle and managed to figure it out last night. This morning I was worried I wasn't going to be first, with others down at beach looking. However, it wasn't found, so I thought I'd have a go at lunchtime on the off chance I would have success. Thank you for the cache, it's not that tricky. Made my day.
No go for me today, I suspect I'm not the only one who has been here too. The hint matches the final location alright, but I searchd all along 15m in both directions for over 40 mins and nothing to see.
Mini, Micro and I were in the car about to head to Kepa Bush to attempt some FTFs there when this was published. It was literally at the bottom of our street! So we set about solving it using old receipts we had lying around to scribble on and soon had the correct coords. We zipped the few hundred metres downhill and soon were at GZ. No joy for us unfortunately and we didnt want to stay too long seeing as there were other FTFs up for grabs! But we enjoyed seeing the doggos on their walks. Well be back, since its so close.
