cache removed

Needed maintaining huh?

This cache has had it's day, will pick up next time in town

Nice cache, nice walk, watch for runners. Looked left looked right there it was.

A quick find on my last afternoon in town before heading home after attending the Mega Event. TFTC

Tried to get this cache once before, but alas we hadn't read the description properly before we left home and didn't realise it was off-set.

Came and knocked it over tonight with Guwapo in tow. This was the second bunch of steps I made him run up and down.

An easy find, but unfortunately the logbook is very damp. Probably needs replacing, and loading with a baggie.

Nice one after huffing up the steps. I had a a young woman pass me going down and then again going up! Then a guy went past taking 2 steps at a time.....I felt old. TFTC

...36, 37, 38...39...Needed the hints, but an easy find. Thanks for this one.

Last day in Dunedin for Sully1 and I as we visited as many caches as we could before making our way to Oamaru for the last night in NZ. The cold fierce wind today didn't deter us and the range of hides was once again a large one.
This was a quick find again after reading the description.........Trad????
Thanks again bitsprayer

Found along with bogonghazy after the Mega Event, while picking up as many as we could before leaving Dunedin and beginning the trek towards Christchurch and the inevitable trip home. Sadly the weather had begun to turn on us this morning, but like true Ozzie troopers we continued our NZ assault armed with raincoats. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache, and for bringing us here.

Found this neat cache on our Blitz of the South Island while here for the mega event.
Many thanks for the cool cache.

After an enjoyable morning caching in and around Dunedin and attending the mega cleanup CITO in the inner city...Roostaman and I decided to continue the day with some caching around Dunedin and then head out of town a little to find a few more. We were a bit confounded by this one as there seemed to be no cache at the coords. After realising what we had to do by going back to look at the cache page...the cache was soon discovered. This one should really be listed as a multi.

Gratias Bitsprayer.

Find # 4560 and a total of 45 today with Marcus Vitruvius, on our NZ Mega trip.
Another day of Mega caching all around the Dunedin area.
Another one that confused us with the cache not at the given co-ords.
TFTC Bitsprayer,
Roostaman.

Attended by The Empire
Day five of the NZ Mega invasion
After grabbing one of the oldest caches around, it was time to head to the coast to check out that side of Dunedin. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about on a MEGA cache raid with IndiannaJill and team FMZ. Have read the book and now found the cache TFTC.

Today is the last day of the NZ Mega... Decided to grab some caches prior to heading to the CITO in central Dunedin...

Grabbed this cache whilst travelling with highrod & Kinkell1 & taking in the fantastic views around the area... What an absolutely beautiful country to explore and photograph...

Thanks For The Cache & for bringing me here

Quick early morning find while in Dunedin for the Mega Event TFTC Bitsprayer

Only 39 steps for this one, phew, the last one was 190 steps... Weird that the coords weren't at the final for this one. Is it meant to be a multi? TFTC!!!

Found during a tiki tour of the area with The Empire while here for the NZ Mega from Melbourne .
thankyou for your cache

Found at 8:11:00 AM. In Dunedin for the Mega and seeing some of the sights in the city.

Thanks Bitsprayer

The Chief doesn't like stairs or I should say his knees don't like them! But he had a go anyway and it resulted in a smiley! TFTC

We are out for the day with the Earthbound's whilst on our NZ Mega Trip. Cache was quickly located, logbook signed and cache replaced. After the last lot of steps these were a breeze. TFTC

An offset

Night caching as part of NZMega 2012. Thanks for adding to our fun. Weather's ok afterall. But ABs had a draw tonite.

In town for the NZ Mega 2012. Attended a fun morning up at the Mega site......and spent the afternoon on a caching run with Karma Reprint and Kiwi_moose. Passing by so stopped off for a wander...good thing I can count. A great wee spot. Lots of steps wot. Cheers.

Perhaps more of a multi! And another puff up a Dunedin hill.

A days caching at the 2012 Dunedin Mega, with the Lincoln lads, Kiwi Moose and Team Gaters Thanks for the hide.

Nice one, we needed the exercise after a huge lunch at St Clair. TFTC.

Log book very damp, could do with being replaced.

Found after a bit of a head scratch.. Very strange GZ - 70mtrs out?? TFTC.

Shame to see the demise of this one. Found at MEGA 2012. TFTC

Quick find. A bit damp. Tftc

Found quick. Tftc

Normally I hate it whenthe page coords do not actually match the cache location. Even out by 5m annoys me if the envirnoment is clear and ther eis no excuse for a more accurate reading. But this one works. Only bugger is I lost a favourite point somewhere on the steps...

Bottom or top?????

fun spot

Quick find while geowife out shopping. TFTC

TFTC

The hint definitely helped. Not many muggles about with the yucky weather. A quick find on my Dunedin caching trip. TFTC

Glad it's nearer the bottom than the top.
Found with debsnz

There are a LOT of steps to the top, glad we didn't have to climb them all
Found with Aoraki Sheep

TFTC, an easy cache

Ran up to the top and back just for fun. Great view of the surf.

The cache was a little damp, but a session with the hair dryer did wonders. TFTC

nice to find a cache where it should be, thanks.

Nice cache on the way to the beach! TFTC

A quick easy find, did get a fright when we disturbed the sleeping cat. Log is still wet but easy enough to write on. TFTC

Great day with the geo family. We all had a go at finding caches today. Mini geo kid was first on this one. She bet me up the stiars -lol. TFTC

Glad there was only 39 steps to go up.....lol......
log book is a bit wet but I could still write on it.

did my step exercises and found a cache. TFTC #3227

Exactly where it was supposed to be, great

Too many steps, lucky my boys run these for PE at school and knew how many there were

Can't believe I didn't find this previously. Easy find today. Glad to knock it off Cheers Gav [10542]

quick walk by. TFTC

remember looking for this one a few months back, with the steps being really busy and getting dark too... so revisited this morning, quick find this time round, TFTC!!

Yay!

new family favorite, quick climb counting as we go, quick chance to catch our breath as we completed the log. replaced and of back down the hill. classic.

Found awhile ago, not logged..

Quick find today thanks. Wasn't feeling energetic enough to get to the top today. Good place to exercise though. TFTC

had the brain switched on today and know how I missed this last time TFTC

I think I've tried this before... Well, whatever the case, I got it today! Thanks.

A great climb all the way up and back down to avoid any pesky muggles watching, We had to wait for a heavily pregnant women to finish climbing the stairs. Her due day was today and she was trying to encourage the baby to arrive!! TFTC

Quick find Cheers.

Have looked for this several times without luck. Found it today and then had to go home for a pen. TFTC

Counted the steps twice! Then I finally found it. Definitely more than 60 meters from the posted coords. A quick search around the correct area found it quickly. TFTC!

TFTC. glad i dont have to walk these stairs everyday!

TFTC, glad we started from the bottom.

Almost missed it! TFTC.

TFTC

Thanks, Bitsprayer; haven't been up these steps for decades. Great hide. TFTC.

All good

Found on 12 Jan whilst on holiday. So pleased it wasn't the 89 steps!! Neat clues and hiding place and at 2.10pm we saw our first bit of the Dunedin sun. TFTC.

Good to go thanks to Cumbyrocks

Bitsprayer

Was in the vicinity recently and had the supplies to make a temporary fix so the cache can remain active. Aelliot001 did the honours whilst also finding.

Log book needs replaced - please see my found log for details

Fix soon

Cache is in desperate need of maintenance - was unable to fill in the log, well more I refused to as the bag was filled with water and the log book rather looking rather brown and disgusting! Took photos to prove I found it.

TFTC

Easy drive by find on visit to St Clair Bowling club for Sec Schools Nationals

Thank goodness 4 clues gps way out

Good clues

pleased there only 39 steps
