ZiggyZaggy (Wellington) Whitby, North Island, New Zealand
By BuzzTasman on 01-May-05. Waypoint GCNPY1

This cache has had a good run. 114 finds, but its time to put it to bed

I think this one is long gone

No joy here

Sought this one today and could not find. Where GPS was pointing there was no sign of what was in hint. Area seemed disturbed, not sure if anything is amiss?

The name says it all! GZ looks all messed, well where the GPSr had me anyway. I couldn't even find the item mentioned in the hint.

1619 Wuth a bit of zigging and zagging we soon had this cache in hand. TFTC

An interesting little path. Came down from Yardarm, but wasn't sure if I was on zigs or zags, so took the straight route down. The coords seemed about 10m out, but widening the search and using the hint soon brought something of interest to light.
TFTC.

Found whilst out with my grand-dog. Came down the zigs, or was it the zags?, from Yardarm after doing Lookout. Nice easy find.

Ooer..bit scratchy and slippy but got it..TFTC TNLN

Found on a geocaching expedition this afternoon. Definitely needed the hint - the coordinates I was getting were not very accurate but fortunately the hint object is the only one nearby so the find was easy. Came up from the bottom after finding the other nearby cahes and took the direct route so no zigs and zags for me, but there is certainly a lot of of them if you follow the path. Emptied a small amount of water from the bottom of the cache container but the logbook is dry in its plastic bag. Signed log, TFTC and for showing me an interesting bit of territory.

11.23am. Bit of searching but cache was soon in hand. Forgot whether we had zigged or zagged
Took '"Kimbe, Papua New Guinea" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug' TB.
Found with Kamikaze

Found with the.pud

Quick find after losing count of the ziggs ans zaggs

Swapped coins on the way past. TFTC

Found after a search in the wrong area - GPS was confused. But eventually made its mind up. SL TN Left mb1 world travel geo-coin TFTC

Never knew the differnce between a zig and a zag. Damn those ziggy zaggys they are sweat making. Easy find with gps hitting its straps.TNSL left orange happy star. No muggles stupid enough to do the ziggy zaggy today.

A lucky find by eldest as Dad had "moved" the co-ords. Fancy GPS almost got us! TFTC.

Great hide. Callum my son found this one.

Found with Old Boots! last day in Wellington. TFTC

Kyran found this one and he put in a car and took Bart Simpson. We also put in a Geocoin.

We must've been hot on the heels of someone else who has also signed the log today... TFTC, SL. -ball of string, -figurine, +bouncy ball, +koala

nice walk. easy cache find. TN left pencil sharpener SL. TFTC

This would have to be the strangest path I have seen in a while. TFTC

First Cache find. Good fun and good exercise (took us a while to work out the GPS). Took a coin and replaced with Bart Simpson figure. Thanks!

Annie took the ziggy zaggy route and PB opted for the straight one, so of course he got there first. Enjoyed this wee ferny spot that was a reminder of home. TNLN TFTC

First cache for a long time havent walked that track for over 15 years used to run it when i was younger not anymore!!

Amazing! My first find (on 2nd attempt). Used to walk this path almost every day on way to school, although hardly ever actually zigged or zagged, it was straight up or down. TFTC
+ hand-made keyring
- McDonalds toy

Very Ziggy Zaggy!!!! thanks an easy find once there. TNLN

It certainly was! Thanks for the find.

Great hunt to find this stash.
- Butterfly, dinosaur
+ Small tiger soft toy, small pink sunglasses

Day was overcast and we got rained on, but was fun. Kids loved having something to take home.

Last one for the day.. Never realised how "apt" the cache name was for this one.. Whew.. Pant Pant Puff Puff.. Great aerobic exercise doing this one.. T4TC

Found it, but had to use the clue. I think my head didn't know if it was coming or going after walking down the track.
+ wooden apple - white golf ball ( to partner the yellow one I have). TFTC

Found the cache after a few minutes searching.
+ wire puzzle
- duck magnet

79: Nice spot that I discovered on a very common Wellington day: sunny but windy I was wondering where that road ends up but eventually I got there ... no muggles at all around but my GPS had a little trouble to tell me where exactly I had to get off the track, so I took the hint: very easy but clever. TFTC, TNLNSL, the logbook was a little damp.

Nice easy find after finnishing work just around the corner

A bit dizzy after all the ziggy zagging. Was in a hurry. Good workout getting down there and back up. TFTC.

We managed to find this in the dark. TNLN Thanks!

found with nud in the dark. thanks

Cache check, replaced the logbook and added a TB

At last! Took a while, and shouldn't have. Must start noticing the obvious.

BEST PATH EVER!

What a well named cache. Quite a surprising little spot that I never would have visited were it not for Geocaching. I really enjoyed this one.

A bit of trouble finding the cache, as it was nearly dark. I hope we did a good enough job rehiding.

TNLNSL, TFTC!

#141. ZigZag indeed, although there is evidence of mountain bike tracks that go straight down.

Our first geocache find! Very easy to find, although the site has poor reception so precise navigation is not possible.

Loads of interesting trinkets in this cache. The notebook is nearly full.

Quick find in the company of Yeetrees, found after a bit of ziggy-zaggy. Nice hide, and a nicely named cache.
TNLNSL, TFTC

15:51 Wow apt title indeed, parked at the top after visiting Whitby lake. Surprised that spot didn't have a cache.

Walked down the zig zag located the cache and climbed back up.

TnLn. Thanks for cache.

Doing a cache check while in the area. Everything looking good. No Geocoin in residence however

Our 2nd geocache! Took us a little while as we have no GPS.
Took the aeroplane and left Marvel character.

Nice and sunny this fine Easter Monday morning, we enjoyed the walk down, swift find, thank you so much!

TFTC BT!

Straightforward find for a first timer. Lovely Walk.

We zigged and we zagged then we zigged again. Think the fern is on a zig not a zag but now I'm confused. Anyway was an enjoyable cache and we managed to find a great fish and chip shop in town for lunch while we were there.
Sad that some one has taken the geocoin and not logged it.
TFTC

A little dificult to get a good gps reading but the clue helped.

The biggest problem was finding where the start was! Thanks for the hide.

Found, no problem. Took Geocoin TB1TRE2 (cannot seem to log it in TB log though) , left karabiner

Our GPS was playing up and lead us into the bush, read the clues and had a quick look around, ran out of time, had to go to work so decided to come back another day when all of a sudden the clue stood out and sure enough there it was.
TNLNSL TFTC

Took ham radio geocoin. Left Steinwalzers Rhein-Nahe Geocoin.
Now we know why it's called ZiggyZaggy
TFTC.

found it put in geocoin nice coin also needs to go to more caches

I zigged and I zagged until a nice easy find was made. TFTC

Definitely a zig and a zag!
Came via Capstan Lane as we wanted to see the Capstan!
Removed the shampoo from the cache, as it was leaky and we did not want to encourage rats etc. Also left a butterfly.
Took T-AZ TB to help him find his rabbit.
Great spot for a cache.

I zigged & I zagged. Nice track - put me in mind of the zig-zag street in America. Took RAM, left shampoo.
Was going to relocate T-AZ-man TB to Kapiti but decided to drop him off here because of name of cache owner.
TFTC

Now which is a zig and which is a zag? A rather cool area with an interesting path. TFTC

Thank you...first cache in NZ.....started the buzz in my whanau....now working on the next ones...great hiding place

Found late at night..... used to walk past here on my way to school.

nice (and odd!) walkway that i didn't know was there. TFTC

The cache is all warm and dry again and awaiting some visitors.

Haven taken the cache away to dry out and refresh
It will be back within 24 hours

My 4th of the day in this neighbourhood.

Parked in Capstan Lane and visited the capstan from the former HMNZS Wellington, which is now installed there. A fairly quick walk to GZ, but needed the clue to find the stash.

The contents are a bit damp and could do with a wee holiday in the sun.

Was this cache on a zig or a zag? Which is which, or does it depend on which way you're coming from? Good spot on an interesting track. TNLN,SL. TFTC.

Lovely trail to walk! Really enjoyed it, as it was our first cache - good one to start with!
TFTC

It was a showery day, lots of trees and vines lovely park. Came home very damp and had found the bugger.

Great hide. Kept me hunting for about an hour. Whose idea was it to plant the RED HERRING? It added to the fun as my GPS wanted that as the cache took me to it three times. The Garmin kept loosing the satelites, among the trees and south side of the hill caused me to walk in circles. When I started looking for the cache I was about 4 metres from it but the GPS led me about 40 metres away on a circular course. The pocket compass solved my problem. All added to the fun of the hunt.

Nice walking track through some nice bush, couldn't go past a fellow Nelson Geo Cache site

TFTC. I found a cache with some decent treasure in it for once! Didn't take anything though. I left something but can't remember what it was!

Good cache location.

Very clever hiding spot. Nice walk. Happy Hunting

Forgot to log this at the time - guesstimated date some months later. Out with new friends, found by dad of the accompanying troupe.

Enjoyed the walk.

Found it after a bit of a look around. Would probably not have found it without the clue (and our old GPS which is pretty inaccurate).

First cache for the day, and the first cache for us in 4 months, babies and bad weather don't go together. Pleasant little walk, a couple of dogs walking their owners, but muggle free around the cache area.

This was our first find and very exciting

Ziggy zaggy indeed! But hooray for shortcuts!
Mucked around in scrub for a while thinking about the latter part of the clue, when I took it literally and found it!
Almost caught by a muggle but Dad gave me the heads up and I was not detected!
