cache is gone, will Archive and open up the spot to locals caches

Thanks to Moneydork for checking.

Bitsprayer

Checked on the cache.
It is definitely missing.
Let me know whether you'd prefer me to replace it or prefer to archive it for others to use the spot.

Cheers,
Moneydork.

Didn't get to look for cache last visit to the Coast 6 Feb. Used previous notes and didn't realise cache had been disabled. No surprise then that we found nothing.

i think it may of been muggied

Will have it checked soon

Bitsprayer

Given the run of recent DNF's - I'd suggest that this cache be replaced/archived as it sounds increasingly unlikely that it is still there. Cheers Gav

I think the wekas have got the cache. Not where it should be.

Popped in after dark, and found the likely spot (checked with the hint) but no cache. Either it has wandered from the hint location, or it has been muggled. Cheers Gav

Sorry but I also failed to locate this one I am sure I found the likely spot but then again I could be wrong, cheers

couldent find it looked 4 aaggeess

Went looking yesterday and today, a fellow geocacher with a GPS was also looking today, and alas we couldn't locate it.

A really good spot for a cache. Enjoyed spying the cave, and wondered if there are any good (scary!) stories that go with it. Cache easily found, covered with leaf litter to conceal it better. Thanks

Easyfind while the kids where exploring the cave. Total co-incidence that there was a cache nearby - NOT! Ha Ha ! TFTC TNLN SL

Now I have my own cache name Mum is going back and logging finds for all the caches I helped find.
Thanks for all the caches you hide that we get to hunt.

I liked looking at the river and bridges.
The cave was very dark and scary.

28. Great view of the old bridges. 4 year old not to happy with Mummy going to far into the cave (4 or 5 steps were aloud). Will have to bring torch next time and hopfully go a bit further in. Took nothing except photos. TFTC

Log book is getting full.Cave was fairly muddy

Nice walk up to the track although a little muddy found cache Ok but log book is getting very full will need to be replaced soon

Out: TB

What a nice cache, thanks for making our journey cachable, two swiss cachers.

Dropped in and did this one.

12:39 pm - Took TB wanderlust. Candles burning in cave - think they may tell a sad story. Very slippery and water level high. Thanks for taking us to an interesting spot.

Caching with Linleye.

Good site. TFTC Bitsprayer. Dropped off a TB.

Another great coast day, 3rd cache of the day on the great Xmas southern cache hunt..

TFTC

Foundthe ccahe quickly and then onwards to explore the cave. The cave is huge but the floor very slippery. Only went in a short distance as the floor was so slippery and getting steep, also the torch was not bright enough to have a good look around. TNLN.

Nice spot in the normal west coast rain. See this cache has been done a few times lately. Interesting to see a couple of candles burning in the cave, nice.... No swaps, thanks for the cache

found 2pm
second cache of our NZ holiday
took Soldier
left Cadbury's Yowie kiwi.

Thanks for the Cache.
Team Canopus

Easy find - cache was very wet, needs a snaplock container. No swaps, thanks and cheers from Grandalf(639)

Found it at 07.30 hrs. Still chilly.
Thanks,
Meryl(from Holland)

Found it. Have been along this track many times for a fish and never spotted it.(In my defence I wasn't looking for it.)
Nothing taken, Nothing left.

Great stopover on today's drive from Nelson to Invercargill. Met a local whitebaiter setting up as I walked back from the cave, was interesting to learn about the area from him.

Took photo of the old railway bridge being dismantled. Photo was taken looking out from entrance to cave.

Enjoyed watching the old bridge being taken to pieces.

Nice easy find for a damp day. The new bridge is done, the old one is being taken apart. TNLNSL TFTC!

Just down the road from the eggers Cach was bloody cold was there about 9:30am. the new grey river bridge nearly finished.

Quick find by the river. Lots of activity going on on new bridge. NINO Thanks

Next time we'll bring a torch for the cave too! Easy find, TNLN, thanks

Haven't been here for a while. I hadn't even noticed the new bridge under construction. I remember walking over the old railway bridge with my dog in my younger days. God knows what we would of done if a train had come?

Lots of activity nearby with the building of a new bridge. Neat cave. Greymouth is really a bustling little community. Lots going for it.
+ Ninja turtle
- Zip locks
Early Rizers

Very peaceful spot late evening and it was nice to be able sit down for a while and fill in the log. TNLN. Thanks

Easy find, loogbook was wet.
Left Cable ties, Took Keyring
Greetings, Thomas & Birgit (Germany)

Found in the rain using the clue. Nice spot. TNLN.

Nice little walk and location! Log pen had died so replaced it. No other exchange.

Found with Christoffer from Sweden, who we introduced to caching today, his second ever find. Methinks he'll take it up when he gets back to Sweden!
Found in pouring rain. Took the Travel Bug (we'll take it back to Australia) and left an aussie keyring.

Easy find without clues. Nice sunny day. Nice cave. No muggles about.
- crocodile & elephant
+ squeezy face
+ Awaroa Endeavour TB (It sat doing nothing in Reefton, bet it wont hang around here long)

Didn't find this one because we were looking at the wrong place. Looking at cache co-ords behind the bench. GPS was locked on fine with an accuracy of about 7 metres.

Nice One!!!!!!Rain was picking up so we gave this one a quick visit. Neat spot! Easy find as GPS and directions were spot on. Did enjoy watching the consruction taking place near by. -Nothing +Buffalo Thanks

After our failed to find at the Coal Creek Falls, it was good to show the hitch-hiker Geff from Ireland what a cache should look like before leaving him in Greymouth centre... Our first find of the day, nice and easy. Had a quick peek in the cave too, but not very far.

Took crayons, left green star stone.

TFTC!

Woohoo!!
Our very first ever geocache.

Neat view of the railway and the new bridge being built.

Cave looked too deep and we had the boy in his buggy and dint want to go in one at a time.

In all the excitement I tripped over backwards landing flat on my back.... sign of things to come!? (see Mawherea Pa..)

Signed book, took nothing, left new pen for notebook as one there didnt go.

Could safely say that the Geocaching bug has bitten.
