Wrights Hill Reserve (Wellington) Highbury, North Island, New Zealand
By GenCuster on 02-Jan-05. Waypoint GCMD8R

Visited on 24 May and cache has definitely been taken. Apologies to those who had TB's in the cache. I am archiving this with regret, so as to open the area for another cache to be placed. Feel free to do this...

Cheers, GC.

Couldn't find it, and had a pretty good look too! Did find a zip lock bag with pencil in it — so may have been muggled?

Will be there tomorrow at the Wrights Hill Fortress Anzac Day open day so will check out the cache.
Expect you found remains of it though as co-ordinates were spot on.

Nice viewpoint in the evening. Swopped TB, three in and three out.

First Cache that I have found. Great location. I Walked up from Campbell St. Bush track. beautiful day, no wind and lots of sun.

Found cache on open day at the Wrights Hill Fortress, (lots of muggles). The cache container was out in plain sight. It's a good job the little dell where GZ is located is secluded. Dropped Yankiwi TB, out Jeep TB. Didn't notice the listed GCs but didn't delve too far in to box either.

not much of a view today in the white white cloud and rain and wind...we swapped some TBs...

Went to fortress to fix the tunnel lights but they were working fine
Good chance to find my first cache instead on this perfect Wellington day. Although I know this area quite well finding the cache took me to a secluded previously unknown spot on the hill.
Gps co-ordinates were spot on. Filled in the log and left ..... then returned with the cache pen and added another for luck
Took nothing
Left a blue barrel Bic pen

Easy find in the evening - high winds and being on the verge of rain was obviously helping keep the muggles away, not to mention that there's not a lot to see in pitch darkness. Love these bigger size caches! TFTC.

My first geocache - found with corenz

Took shoelessgirl geocaching today and swapped some TBs .

Bart wants to see Flight of the Conchords while he's here... though I think America might be a better bet for that right now!

Another cache found on a Wellington Raid over xmas from Auckland.

TFTC

nice views - pic

Nice Views Today after 3 days of clouds and fog.

Quick geocoin drop

Had a bit of trouble finding this one TFTC

A massive travel bug dropoff. Sorry about this! I'm on the way back to Australia shortly and had no time to distribute these around the place.

Pictures will be uploaded when I get home!

My first find! Next time I'm taking my camera with me.

A nice find in a lovely area.

Took two trackables

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 75. Up the steps I went and found it in the first place I looked - happy about that. Thanks.

Great views! Good location - TFTC.

Great spot and another super vantage spot to see the harbour. Exchanged Travelcoins

Enjoy these war history locations. SL took nothing, left Czech GC TFTC

Found with diziet.sma after hiking up hill from GC12HPJ "cave at pooh corner". View almost worth it.

For me, this was the cache of the trip. We had SUPERB weather, not a breath of wind, even up there, and lovely sun. Cache soon in hand, and then on to the history and the views. Thanks for brining us here. TFTC.

Initially we approached from the south side. Which I wouldn't recommend, as the walk is quite long... After 45 minutes or so of tramping, we spotted the carpark on the hill and decided that maybe there was an easier way.

Approaching from the north was much more pleasant, though less interesting from a dodging mountain bikers point of view...

Had to search for a bit to find the cache even with the hint. But it's there, just well camouflaged.

Added 50 pence (English), a 20 Kronor note (Sweden) and a travel bug with a cool fish attached that I picked up on Edinburgh.

Took nothing.

TFTC

#124. Turned up at the overgrown GZ and were alone. Once we did our thing and were about to leave, we saw about a half dozen muggles milling about. SL, TFTC. -balloon, -butterfly, +spider, +old money.

Very few muggles about, but it took a lot of looking before I found it. Seems Lefty and I have been undertaking a Karori walkabout today. Took Nemo, Left TB Handcuffs. TFTC

Found this one with some help from Two girls from Holland. Great day easy find awsome view cheers

Nice spot out of the wind, picked up Kuku TB. TFTC

Being ANZAC Day we visited "The Fortress" with a few trackables and dipped them in for some photos

Found the cache on ANZAC day 2009. We have left Kuku. His stay with with us after his long trip from New Zealand was nice but it was time for him to go adventuring again

Great day, reasonably easy find - just a little overgrown...great views...TFTC

Popped up here with B0RG JNR and muggle friends visiting from the UK, to show them further sights of Wellytown - They enjoyed the cache hunt so may take up the sport upon their return to the UK. Fabulous views, no wind at all today (only happens one day a year here!), and the history was very interesting - TNLNSL, TFTC!

3rd find for the morning. Another stunning Wellington day with great panoramic views. The wind turbines are popping up quickly out Makara ways and looking quite majestic.

Fantastic spot, TFTC

Great spot for a cache. Amazing views and a cool large hole where the gun used to be.
TFTC, TNLN

Found it after a bit of a scratch around

Very windy at GZ today, so no muggles to get in my way. Quick find. TFTC

Awesome view and history, thanks for bringing us here
Left Unite for Tank GC and took little flax basket. TFTC. Check log for photo of current location at Wrights Hill reserve, Wellington, NZ

Replaced Log Book. Many thanks to all those who have visited this cache and to Chaucey for setting it up initially.

Did not see a TB in the cache...

GC.

Great views. Hadn't been up here for such a long time, was glad to get the chance to do so.
Log on last page.
Grabbed geotalk GC.
TFTC.

Plan to replace the logbook next week when I am in Wellington. Thanks. GC.

Called in this morning to drop off "The Organist's Geotalk Geocoin 2". Only one page remaining in the log, needs attention. I don't know why more people don't make the effort to visit this cache - the view is just so good that it alone justifies the effort of going there - and the cache is only a few minutes' walk along a sealed path from the carpark.

Cycled up from Makara MTB park (and Thanks - GC1H6ZH) via Salvation trail. Broke a spoke on the way unfortunately so couldn't descend down Deliverance without risk of turing wheel into pretzel!
Nice location, looked less visited than lookout.
Logbook nearll full.
+ paua; - smiley puzzle.

Sorry, I dídn't have internet for a long time and couldn't log my visit.

Found cache without too much of a problem and in doing so was able to show first hand to a friend what geocaching is all about. Thanks for the cache GC!

Been here before was our first cache we found.
Dropped of Geko travel bug .(been meaning to to it for ages)
Think it will move quickly from here

Nice easy find, even in the wind. Great views from here!
TFTC
+ wooden pegs
+ glass pebble
- geocoin
- TB

Nice and easy cahce to find for our first one. Gorgeous day, sunshining and great views. Onwards for the Wildmutts

Quickish find on beautiful morning, hardly a breath of wind, we could see forever in every direction, just stunning. TNLN.TFTC

Our first ever find. Had been up there a couple of times but had not managed to locate it - we are looking without a GPS system which I imagine makes it a little harder although we are still having great fun going to the different sites,

Found quite easily...would never have known about this site had we not been geocaching.Took Robot TB and a Geocoin, left Viper car TB and Canberra geocoin. TFTC. rob annya from S Africa.

A quick find. Spectacular view. This is a great location that I would probably never have visited if not for the cache. We enjoyed visiting this location.
TFTC.

(0032 - 1255hrs)

It was a cold, cloudy day with a moderate wind. Stopped by while having lunch.

The view never ceases to amaze, every time I visit.

Nice little spot, had never noticed it nestled away. Found the cache without too much trouble.

Left a little dinosaur.

TFTC

#5 find for the day. A really nice spot on a Sat afternoon. We enjoyed the walk up and the cache size and contents. Deserves a Secret Agent GC for its new home. Also dipped in a GC & TB. TFTC

A great view on sunny day.

Found with Just Floundering. First cache for me in Wellington.
A stunning view from here.
TFTC

11.35am. Found with friend Davy. In fact his assistance was essential as he found the cache. A wee bit cold and breezy for us Aucklanders up here today but we could still appreciate the view.
+ magnetic pen & geocoin;
- fish keyring and squeezie fish;
TFTC - a great location to place one.
[8d] M&P.

This place has been nicely restored since our last visit. Great views of the city.

+ tennis ball
+ blow fish
+ huhugrub marble
SL. TFTC.

Found it. Easy when you know how. No wind today (which is rare for this spot) and beautiful views. Very warm 26 deg C. Dave, Jamie and Lilly.

Our first search and sadly could not find it. However, we were very thorough and am guessing it has been moved or removed.

Found with TreMichLan - fascinating spot, even with the wind and cloud cover

Cache No.101 for me. A very windy ascent to the Wright's Hill Fortress, but once there, a very easy find. Scoop81 and I took Peace TB

A late afternoon find -last of the day. Great spot with awesome views. NZ neatly sited. -coin, + Swedish Chef (-ex Muppets). TFTC.

Another cache on the morning cache mission with RadioNut50, ButterflyLady and TobiasNZ. Neat hiding spot for the cache. Pity about the path being a little overgrown near it.

The "wheelchair" approach was checked out, only to discover several spots where the path slumped, and the plants were in great need of trimming. Cache site itself required bush bashing. We were however rewarded with fantastic views in a full circle! All four of us were on the scent of a cache, but we approached it from the wrong side. Eventually we changed tact and had it.
Left the Travelling Peace Bug (resurrected!), as this was a place where defence was important, it seemed an appropriate spot to set it off on it's 2nd journey.

Nice Spot, TNLN TFTC

dropped by on way to event cache and collect the 2 coins which had been stuck for over a months will drop then off soon

Last of four successful finds on an afternoon walk around the Karori Sanctuary perimeter. Spent about 15 minutes going around in circles and hunting where I thought the cache should be (fortunately nobody else in sight) and finally realised I was just about treading on it! TNLN. Wonderful view from here, TFTC!

Left 2006 Kiwi Geocoin on my way by this morning.

Dropping off the apple geocoin I picked up from a cache yesterday - I might not be caching again for a wee while and this spot is somewhere I pass by on a regular basis.

It was visit the gun placements day today - I always get a surprise when this happens!

lol walked right passed it even with gps unit ended up back tracking but I found it, I didn't even know about these benches And I was in the WHFRS for years
TNSL
GOOD LUCK HUNTING

Dropped off a coin I have had for a wee bit too long and plans I had to get it dropped off elsewhere have been stalled a tad, so here it goes instead.

Moving finds from my alter ego

Stopped by on jog to drop off geocoin for The House of Kumara to collect, if no one beats him to it!

I got to log after a visit to this cache by my all time favourite cache placer, kiwi-nomad! If you get the chance to do any of his caches, go for it! They rock!!

Thanks for the coin, Shine

Nice views and a very popular spot had one guys setup close by with his cammera but managed to wait him out and grabbed the cache before the next group arrived TFTC

Dropped in to get Lightning McQueen! *VROOMVROOM!!!*

Finally got this one off my must do list.

Dropped off Lightning McQueen TB

Found!!! Took a bit of searching but stumbled over it in the end

Found it, very nice spot and a very nice and clear, sunny day.

Great view. Getting dark as we walked back down track, which was interesting under the trees.

Dropped off SignalCoin and picked up Butterfly Lady's geocoin.
Weather really not the best for jogging today - but I didn't slip either up or down! *giggles*

Had to drop this off. I have had it for awhile. Was raining.

My first find on Anzac Day after a visit to the Fortress. Good fun especially keeping my kids from telling everyone else up there we'd found something. Hamil

Came up to drop off very special bug on this very special day and I must say I had a very special and unexpected experience! I fully recommend making the effort to come up here on ANZAC Day! (or Waitangi Day, Queen's Birthday and Labour Day too))

Dropped off TB
Picked up Geocoin
