Double R Multi (Auckland) Chatswood, North Island, New Zealand
By Zork V on 12-Feb-06. Waypoint GCTE15

Looks like time is up on this one. Thanks to all who found me and others who looked.

Is there any chance of doing this one ?
Want to meet here today and try it with me anyone ?
Or is it a gonna....

So disappointed. ...mfirst wp easy....then had long visit at small trolls home and got totally down and dirty; but unable to find the second clue.....or anything to do with magnets .
Nice wee bush walk though....
And it is over a year since a find after all...

No problem with WP1 but wp2 eluded me.

Kiwi back with reinforcements to attempt to complete this frustrating "easy " multi. Got to way point 3 without to much difficulty. Then the fun began.... or rather frustration levels increased as the hours went by- well that's what it felt like. Scottie declared it was time to call it quits, kiwiscot had long abandoned the hunt preferring to undertake some wood carving/bug hunting on a decaying log, kiwi reviewed the possibility of cache placement slightly further afield. Last throws of despair lead to a further review of a site by scottie and hallelujah the cache was uncovered/dug up!! It had literally been eaten up by compost / earth as it has sat undisturbed for a considerable time. Both the log and other items were unsalvageable. Have replaced bag and put a new log in but the chances of it being legible for the next GC'er does not rank high. TFTC

On a side note this is our 1111th cache we have found.

Final waypoints cache container is failing to keep out the water. Final's hint also needs to be reviewed.

A wet day on the shore. Needed to complete some multi's for our Geocaching Licence. Found the 1st way point quickly. The 2nd took a little bit longer but got there in the end. Unfortunately the final location was on the edge of a school's ground and it happened to be the children's lunch break. The rain was now getting heavier so decided to head home and revisit at a more appropriate time. - Kiwi

Looked for ages, local kid told us where one was but still couldn't find. Might try again at another stage

Out and about with the mini Future Finder this afternoon. We made a super quick find of WP one. WP two had us going for awhile until we realised we had walked a little too far and needed to backtrack a bit. This cache is certainly showing signs of the recent storms. The final also took some time but we persisted and were rewarded with the find. Log is mush. Cheers for the multicache!

Well it was a nice day today and I had no work, so I thought I would give this one another go as it had been replaced. I went up and found it nice and quick, within a minute. I added some paper as the log was soaking. TFTC #188

Replaced Geocache.

I obviously did not have my caching eyes on today. I knocked off the first two stages with ease and headed off to GZ, but after half an hour of searching and putting my hands down holes with many spiders in them still no cache. Maybe I will come back another time and search again. At least it was a pleasant place to go for a stroll.

Nice easy find. Tftc.

Got the first 2 but didn't get to find the third before miss 3 lost interest will head back next week for another crack at it.

While mapping the walkways in the area, time for a little multi , why not? Got the initial waypoint easy enough, second one proved a slight challenge as my Gps a bit out, - tricky little hide here. At the final, some pupils playing in the school grounds nearby so I kept a eye out while signing the log. Thx for the challenge, tftc

The first 2 waypoints were found fairly quickly but the final took quite some time to unreveal. I stopped counting the number of stumps I checked before finding the right one. Nice hide, TFTC

Found WP1 and 2 easily but WP3 took a wee while longer as it was not the first place I looked (or the second). Both the original log and the replacement (thanks to evilno9) are soaking wet and unusable. Fortunately, I had a small sheet of paper which I signed and left for the next finder. Unfortunately, I didn't have a plastic bag so not too sure how long this one will last. A nice easy multi. TFTC.

Killing some time before catching up with mates and found myself here. No issues with the first WP though the second one had me scratching my head for a little while. Looked a little closer though and was soon off to collect the final. No issues here and added a scrap of paper to the cache though I didn't have any spare baggies on me. Nice little multi, TFTC

Water has gotten into the container and the log is totally wasted. Needs replacement, and perhaps re-hidden, as the cache was just lying out on the ground.

This one was made harder than it needed to be by not reading the description properly. I couldn't find the second way-point in the first attempt yesterday, so today after doing some homework found the second wp and the final quite easily. The final wasn't even hidden, it was just lying there on the ground with other bits and pieces of trash. Amazingly all was well except water has gotten into the "pineapple" container and the log is a soggy mess, so I was unable to sign in. I have re-hidden the container the best I could, I just hope in the right place. Needs attention.

Out to get some previously attempted caches, first of 3 of 4 we were looking for
TFTC sl tnln

Jeep and GC drop.

Nice place for a walk in the bush out of the hot sun, TFTC

Attempt made during last weekend, must have had the same problems as Gianouts as first two WPS obtained very quickly but no find at the final and yes GPS was all over the place but final clue was quite specific and narrowed down to only 1-2 options at the final so not sure what went wrong:(
Will try again
tftcsf

Nice walk, on this amazing date 10-10-10
btw logbook need change
TFTC

Found the first two waypoints easily but then abandoned at the final after searching for a while (gps was all over the place), torrential rain and it getting too dark. Will be back at some point to try again.

NICE MULTI IN ANOTHER PARK UNKNOWN TO US-WPT HAD ME GOING FOR A MO-BUT WAS SOON IN HAND-TFTC

Nice and quick multi, found all the WP's easy.
TFTC

Nice quick multi-cache. Logbook is falling apart. SL TFTC

Not much daylight left when we started this cache. Fortunately it is a straight-forward multi, and we found all the waypoints easily. Thanks.
The logbook is now very fragile.

# 1480

Were still having trouble with the GPS signal so we had to wait for a direction, carry on, wait... still we found all waypoints and secured the cahe in the end. Nice multi Zork. t4tc

Nice and easy multi, although WP2 was a bit on the tricky side. Thanks.

Found WP1 easily enough and headed off to WP2. This one had us stumped for a while but Mrs Gadget-Tron took control of the GPS and quickly found WP2. Off to the final and a quick retrieval. TFTC

nice walk, had a little trouble sign log book as it was damp and falling apart, look like it could do with some attention. TFTC .

Our first cache in NZL. And what a nice place! We did it together with our lovely host Denise and John. It seems, in NZL you have the wilderness right in front of your door steps...

We arrived in NZ!!!!! Found our first cache close to our couchsurfers place. Really nice multi. Had a lot of fun, while introducing our couchsurfers to geocaching. Very nice cache in a beautiful area.

(could not find a geocoin in the box)

Great multi to complete after the CITO in the morning. TFTC

Found while visiting friends that live just up the road. So a nice introduction for them.
Nice quick multi. TFTC TNLNSL
Log book is looking a little tired (damp and falling apart a little) but still useable

Nice multi in a lovely reserve.
No problems Wpt 1, the 2nd had us in the wrong place until we realised our mistake. Then the final fell quickly.
TFTC

First WP found easily and we progressed to the next where the GPS was bouncing around a bit so we were sidetracked into checking out the wrong place but before too long had WP2 loaded into the GPS and we were on our way to the final. Found without much hassle thanks for bringing us here & T4TC.

found with yo mum and cents-less back before i had my own account. i actually found the first two waypoints myself but yo mum had the final before i even made it to gz. competitive geocaching has never been so fun.... =)

found with cents-less. nice park that i never knew about before today, thanks for bringing us here! tnlnsl

Had found wpnt1 before but got stuck with wpnt2. This time with help from Joan (of Darby & Joan), well actually Joan found it and had the cache in hand while I was still putting my bag down . - Skateboard rubber + Dice TFTC

Out with Helefant for the afternoon. This was one she had found the 1st wpt but not the 2nd. However Joan provided the find for wpt 2 and we were on our way to the final. Enjoyed the bush walk. Another one that I didn't know about. Found the cache uncovered which maybe why the logbook was really wet. Found the intended camo and replaced with all camo in tact. L: calling card. SL. TN TFTC

Did this one while visting my cousin. Nice walk for the kids and his dog. Forgot how much it can rain in Auckland.
TFTC

Great bush walk. We were under the watchful eyes of young muggles from across the street for WP1. Went to the wrong domicile for WP2 but were in possession of the co-ords after re-checking the GPS. At the final, we found a very wet log book. Tried to dry as much as we could, but the cache could use a proper drying out. Left an old NZ coin. TFTC!

In a series of 7 caches for the day, this was a good multi and a nice walk. The mozzies were gigantic! The final was very soggy, but it hasn't seen the light of day for a little while. We gave it some sun exposure and swapped out a silica packet, but it needs an o-ring and a new plastic bag. Took climbing man and Seattle's Best left some old NZ coins. Thanks for the journey!

Know this area well, enjoyed the multi and the walk along in the bush. See getting used to the multi’s now!! Final cache was a bit wet, though cleaned and dried out by the team. Thanks for bringing us all here! TNLN. TFTC!!

Found with Kache cat and kache rat. A great multi. Really enjoyed this one. Lovely bush.

Picked the wrong time to hit the final but managed all the same. Great little walk. TFTC

16:44 Great little multi we enjoyed all the way points. We had some worries at the final, after finding a snap-lock lid. Glyn also ruled out that a shoe wasn't the cache as well .

We removed the lid to avoid future confusion. Cache is doing fine. Thanks for the cache.

Found WP1 quickly, then spent the next 20min looking for WP2 in vain. About to abandon the hunt, but decided to hunt for the final using the clue. Amazingly, Mrs Y found it straight away at the first place we decided to look.

Waypoints fell nicely, and the garman 72 held up pretty well.

I had intended to do this before now, but finally got around to it today. WP1 was a quick and easy find, but WP2 took a bit of effort. Once that was done I found my way to the cache quickly. An enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Was the second find for the day and was the second visit.
Found waypoint 1 and 2 last year some time, before it was disabled, but couldn't find the final. Must not have searched hard enough and was very careful with the school very close.
Found the final after about 5mins of searching.
Cheers Zork for showing me this little walk.
TNLNSL

Waypoint 2 was there all along. Have got a better reading this time and have put them into WP 1.

The.pud says the WP2 has gone (Meddilling Kids)Will replace soon.

3.55pm. Second time here, ignored GPSr for WP2 and found likely spot, although cache was missing. Quick call to Zork to confirm we were in the right and he gave us the position of the final.
Was quite well hidden and took about 15min to find.
TNLNSL
Added some silica gel to log book bag as it was slightly damp.

Cheers M+S [:O)] (357)

Back for the second time, weather no better than the first. 2nd point easier to find if you stand in the right place and think logically! Got final no problem. Grandchildren loved the bush and the mud. TFTC

Second of fifteen finds on my sixth day in Auckland. There were muggles on their balcony across the road from WP1, so I had to be surreptitious. I managed to grab it without their seeing me. WP2 caused me a bit of heartburn, but I eventually found it too. When I arrived at GZ, I put my GPSr down to let it settle. I reached for my iPAQ, and noticed that the stylus was missing. I looked down to see if it had just fallen out, and there was the cache! I found it at 1115. I made no exchange. My thanks to Zork V for the cache.

started it last nite but it go to dark to find wp2 . very poor gps lock for wp2. not to hard to find in the day lite.
tnlnsl. tftc

like others, we had a little difficulty with waypoint 2, until we ignored the GPS and started looking for suitable hiding places that matched the clue. We'd initially been searching for WP2 where the final cache was hidden as the coverage in the bush was that poor. I TNLNSL, but manda_panda took the Jeep and was going to place it at the next cache we went to, but then slipped over and hurt her knee, so we never made a serious attempt on the next cache.

Found with JDHnz. WP2 was fun, we were looking in the final cache location initially but gave up and looked in other more obvious places until JDHnz found it. Took the jeep meaning to place it in the next cache we found, left nothing, signed the log. Had a bit of a nasty fall looking for the next cache, so will put the jeep in another cache when walking is a bit easier.

Found WP1 easily. However WP2 eluded us. Today was raining heavily, everything muddy, slippery and generally unpleasant. Poor reception too and GPS leaping about so in the end we decided to leave it for a nicer day.

The coordinates for Waypoint 2 had me in a knarly bit of bush and hunting around and old metal chair! Eventually found about 30m away from my GZ, but in a more typical location.

Good stuff, found all points quickly, but needed a quick bit of triangulation to get wp2, car to car 15 minutes.

Got a little off the track to WP2 but otherwise a fairly find.

Cheers for the cache.

Never would have known this park was here. GPS was dancing around like fats domino dancing the twist so didnt rely on that too much. No cat at WP1 stumbled on WP2 hubby found WP3

TFTC

This cache is very much in what I consider "My Territory", but I was in the South Island when it was placed so missed the chance for an FTF.
Today I had made an Unsuccessful attempt at an FTF on Along the Boardwalk so I headed here for a "fix".
I met the ? resident cat at Wp1 and headed off for WP2 which I found easily enough but had to wait and chat to a couple of muggle walkers. The final then fell quickly.

I had last walked parts of this track about 10 years ago and it has been upgraded quite a bit since
TNLNSL T4TC.

Thoroughly enjoyed this one; not so sure about the warm happy cat disturbed by my retrieval of WP1. WP2 was definitely something of a challenge with everything in sight matching the clue and position bouncing around a 30 metre radius circle. Thanks for all these caches Zork

A quick swim in the sea after work, then off to tackle this cache. The first waypoint left me buzzing (ha!), the second had me doing twirls following the indicated signal; and then the final where I'd knelt down to write the log only to look up straight into the slobbering jowls of a large dog. Now I'm not a doggy person so it always amuses me when an owner who's dog has just bailed up some poor innocent says "oh don't worry he's just being inquisitive"!
Good One Zork. TNLNSL

Quick walk in the bush as it was about to rain. Easy find with friends and owner Zork V.
12th cache for the day.

Nice patch of urban bush and good spot for a cache.
We struggled a bit with WP2 as our indicated GZ was a wee bit away from where we eventually found the waypoint after a good search. The final fell quickly after that. TNLN. Thanks

So close to home so thought I better have a go. Nice and easy.

TNLNSL
Thanks Zork

3.45pm.YAPIDNA. Success at all stages of this multi was by the pure ability of Mrs Floundering (alias Super Slueth). An ideal reserve for this kind of multi and much enjoyed by us both especially as The Pud had not been successful the previous day!!!

Many thanks for an enjoyable outing Zork.
M&P.

11.30am. Found the first WP without any trouble, the power of the GPSr lead me straight to it.

Got to second WP GZ and the best EPE i could get was 17m (and that was with the external aerial) and could only get the GPSr to say 14m to WP.

So that's some big area to search and there were a few hundred of the clue visible ...... looked for ½ an hour and turned up nothing.

We'll be back.............
Cheers M+S [:O)]

11.00am
Heard (from Sinautus)there was a new cache in the area so had to check it out. My son and I headed out this morning hoping there was no early birds to beat us.... Sorry Sinautus couldn't wait. GPS readings were all good so lead us to each point with no hassles.

Thanks Zork I was FTF and this was my FFTF

IN: Mini playing cards & pencil (for the log)
OUT: Ring

Found the first waypoint on an object attractive to magnets. Off to the second waypoint; GPS wanted to take me off into the bushes. However, the bush did seem devoid of objects attractive to magnets. [?]
Unzipped the clue, and got thoroughly confused. Finally realised that Zork might be just a wee bit botanically challenged. Found the second waypoint soon after.
Off to the final without trouble.

Thanks for the cache!
