Searching with Gmblzmpf and Lumbarius. No Joy : (

First time out with new GPS (and gmblzmpf and miowmix). Searched low for about 5 min. DNF

Our first day geocaching ! team effort - lots of fun

TB passing through

On our way to this gz from our parking spot we had brief glimpses of a sea creature playing about 500m out from the shore. Annie quickly located GZ, and it appeared that the coast was clear so she accessed it. However there may have been junior muggles watching from high above unfortunately. They moved off when PB appeared so the return of the cache was done more safely. TNLN TFTC

Have tried for this one before - can't believe we missed it the last couple of times.

putting new notebook in cache today

#1309

Found on a beautiful morning, where the first cache of the day was an FTF on GC1KKHY

Nice playground

An evening stroll and I found the first of what I hope to be many, many caches over the next few years with the family, after being harrased by some upset seagulls (must have been anest nearby) and coming across a stache of hidden women's underwear! Container included Aussie keyring, Aussie 1c coin, balloons, baby keyring, jandal keyring, wee photo frame, card from 'Nordy & Duey', peg, buttons, platic monkey, pen, cotton, coupon, teddy bear. Took jandal keyring. Notebook was full.

Good view from here. Good hide but not too hard. Managed to find a little space to write in book. TFTC.

- die

Nice stroll along the beach, TFTC.

- SpaceWOC Merlin TB
+ Aussie keyring

Assimilated this cache on a Boxing Day trip to the Petone foreshore - A cracker sunny day and 1 of 3 cache finds for the day made it extra special Found the cache right away and dropped off the SpaceWOC Merlin TB (TB1FETY) and picked up the Murray Moose TB (TB2121K) and Boomerang Koala TB (TB14PEF) for some further adventures... TFTC!

Stay at Hutt Top 10 park, had a nice hike and found this one. Nice view on the city.

A nice playground with an interesting looking model railway. Found cache without difficulty. TFTC

+ TB Boomerang the Koala

Quick and easy find.. Staying not to far away from this one and got to do it today.. Glad its out out sight of the kids playing nearby.. Took GC and TB to move along soon... Thanks for the cache...

TFTC!!!

Second geocache found, on a beautiful sunny day in Wellington.
Nice location to admire the view

Did this one at night. At first I went on the wrong side and got covered in prickles! Then spotted it on the other side. It was spooky and quiet, with just the sound of lapping water.
TFTH!

Fun place for children to play. TFTC

QUick find. Book full. TFTC

Easy find, not another soul around on windy overcast day.
TNLN. signed log book, as others have said its full. I had to use the last bit of space on the inside of the back cover.

Good cache location, my first true night find- too many kids around during the day!

Found with no worries, notebook is full and needs replacing

YAY #400!!! Specially went out on this windy rainy dark wellington night so we could get the 3 more we needed to get up to 400! Quick easy find without a torch at 7.40pm.

Nice and easy - no one round on this grey cold dusk. Like others have said the log is full and damp. TFTC TNLN (107)

L key ring and bear stamp,
Thanks Alorria

grate fine and nice view.

A nice stretch of beach. Wanted to do the nearby multi but ran out of time on this trip south! At least I got a great pie from the nearby vendor. TFTC.

Found after a disappointing time earlier in the summer. Had the sound of Cat Stevens in my head..TFTC

0paco0 and Red found it, while the Cache-dogs stayed in the car (because it said so). Big nasty dog terrorises the playground. Funny, innit...

Nicely stocked cache (seems to be the way, around this foreshore).

OUT: USA Geocoin

confusing and tough.found shell necklace ruler and stone put in baby kechain cars toy.
also put in geocoin.

Our first cache for the day and our first find in the area after the move into our new home. Was a nice easy find and the wet and windy day meant no muggle disturbance.

Nifty hide. TN - Left Jack. TFTC. Leaf-off and Daughter #1

When we arrived there were several little muggles at the playground but we were thankful that the cache was located close but not within sight of where the children play. The day was cold and windy but it was quite sunny when we arrived. Nice hide and size. TFTC.

Found on a beautiful sunny, calm Sunday afternoon. The beach was very busy - upon arrival a family were busy making a video with the cache site in the background! Had to wait patiently for the right moment to find (and return) the cache. Out iTunes TB, in necklaces. A nice spot to visit, thanks.

Visited here while introducing my parents to GCing. Got padlock TB

Another easy find on our walk along the beach.
A good sized cache, decided to leave the padlock TB here!

Man, one busy playground, nice hide, thanks for the fun.

Thanks for the cache -

Greetings from Scotland. Found quite easily. Very windy and cool, no one around as it was early in the morning! TN left our card.

Lots of muggles about. Looks like a fun place for kids. TNLN. Thanks.

A busy wee place to try and retrieve a cache from but we managed it OK. A good reason to take a walk along the beach.
TFTC

An easy find. TNLN - signed cache as agc062. Thanks for the cache!

Another biggy! Quick find with lots of muggles close by yet far enough away to leave us alone. Managed to get the cache back and walk away just as a set of muggles decided to go swimming. TNLN TFTC

A quick sneaky find in amongst the muggles. Left the Duck TB TFTC

Lots of muggles around but location made for a fairly safe extraction and replacement ... especially with a puppy assisting the snuffling around into nooks and crannies. +: plastic ruler and a marble. -: Smurf toy. TFTC.

AT last! An opportunity to get this without a huge infestation of muggles.

My first cache that I went to find by myself and my 2nd at all. Took nothing but the TB

Easy enough find.... The cache is a bit damp, I gave it a bit of an airing but I was running late for something, so had to close it back up again. Dropped in a TB.

home!?

or so i thought [?]
we live in marine parade back in Singapore so daddy & mummy decided 2 take a photo!
mummy wanted me 2 slide but i wasnt in the mood! [|)] it'was cold! look at the dark sky!

saw theiroad sign & had to take a photo!

so here's one for the camera..

Our Second quick cache for the day! The five of us enjoyed the serenity and size of the cache.

Cheers from Singapore!

Took dice and left alarm clock, TFTC!

-geocoin

Quick find in a busy spot - 2 GC + GC

Decided to quickly do this on my way home from work.
Dropped off 2 little geo-coins.
Great place

TFTC

Little drizzley - which was lucky for me as it made all the parents and children all scurry back to their vehicles and I was able to scramble around on my hands and knees in private *giggles*

Thanks for the geocoin!

Quick and easy find (but well hidden)- before the schools got out.
Took nothing - Left Indian Paintbrush Geocoin. TFTC

Great cache!
I've tried a couple of times to find this one, but it was worth it. Wonderful, sitting in the brilliant sun with all the muggles in the playground while I examined the cache.
I was a bit misled by previous finders who said it was in view when you looked at the area, but it was a bit better hidden than that. Maybe someone put it back better hidden than they found it.
Brilliant, thanks!
Took Marbles, left shoe thingy.

Nice quick find, pretty low muggle intensity seeing the day was not very nice.

+ Troll
+ Green dice
+ Dolphin
+ Critter
- Lighter (to make more kid friendly - considering the location)
- Pineapple paddler

TFTC.

- Chrispy Twitch and Boots

Had a bit of trouble as lots of muggles around with dogs. Waited 20 min and then went in quick. Was in second place I looked. Coordinates did not get very close but the clue was good and it was resonably obvious once in area. Took my parents with me - they seem to be getting the hang of it. Nice walk from Beach End! The dog enjoyed it too.

TFTC TNLNSL

A wet day, so not many muggles about. Just as well as this took longer than expected. GPS put us right over the spot, yet we still couldn't find it. It was my 6 year old that got his hand to it first, so he got the swap.
- bubble mixture
+ Army man figurine.
TFTC

Found it this time without a problem. Nice hide - well done and thanks!

Well hidden cache, thought it wasn't there initially. TNLNSL. TFTC.

This was a cool cache. Very common hiding place, but a very cool playground. My brother loved it heaps. TFTC TNLNSL

Nice easy find, cheers. TNLN

Easy find and few muggles to worry about.

Here from Arizona to do a little caching. Thanks for the hide.

Nice easy find, must have come the right way as no one was around on a chilly morning..

Great cache, found with MiiR

Found it with mozboy

MalcolmB confirms Ryanja's observation - no cache was found at the site. Owner might like to confirm this distressing fact!

I ran down here tonight with Crystalvision to stash some travel bugs, but were both unable to find it. I've found it once before, so knew exactly where to look. I fear that it might have been muggled.
