***** REVIEWER NOTE *****

Hi Zippy, ruler of Rainbow

It appears that this cache has been inactive for quite some time. Is it going to be replaced or should it be archived to make room for possible future caches? If the cache owner does not contact me by 21 October, I'll assume the cache needs to be archived.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,

Regards,
Zero Gravitas

It seems as though someone has come across this cache and removed it permanently. I could not locate it yesterday. I may try and redo this cache in the same area but in a different position int the park.

No sign of cache but did find the top of a systema container at the bottom of the hill. cache site showed recent signs of non cache type visitors so maybe it has been raided and chucked away - perhaps the owner might check on it.

No muggles around so an easy find. This was our 7th and final find for the day in a mission this weekend to get to 200, so only 2 to go now! TNLNSL, TFTC

Had to be careful with a few muggles around.

-dice
+mini backgammon

[0Paco0 and Red found it (sans chiens). That's French; it means without dogs. They're not allowed to go to the theatre or Te Papa - we are,so they had to stay home.

Beautiful warm, sunny day. Lots of muggles], but who cares about two fools on the hill?.[.

OUT: Professor Lightbulb

IN: razor

Found this with Zebedy aka Mum and Dad - I grabbed the lovely boomerang, and had loads of fun at the playground too. Thanks for showing it to us.

Evening find .... fantastic spot, we enjoyed the views. Left behind Travel bug Orion STTR7Y. Took nothing, A & B

A beautiful afternoon, very quiet in the park, a classic sunset coming up. Found without hesitation.

Dropped off TB "Stinky Skunk"

Fourth and last find for the evening and very few people about. Very nice to visit here again, our kids loved playing here when we lived up this way. GPS accuracy a problem, jumping about to the tune of 20-30m so had to phone home for the clue, found fairly quickly with that. Nil in, nil out. Many thanks for the cache.

A quick climb for a quick find, a very windy day on top! The surf is wild.
Out - surfboard keyring
In - dice
The wind nearly blew the lot away! Thanks for the breath of nice salty sea air.

Easy find with the kids on a nice day.
Lots of muggles around but most kept to lower ground out of the way.

Great views but very windy.
Trains in operation.

This was an easy find and enjoyable climb
Replaced pen in cache

+ gel bottle
- canadian lapel pen

Lovely day @ the beach. Easy find once the muggles left us alone. The cache pen is stuffed, sorry but I didnt have a spare. Next visitor - go equipped!

Enroute from Palmy to Welly in the company of the Sweet Pea, the Turtle gets to strike again. Yeeha! Recovering as we were from the lack of discovery at Virgin's View, our spirits lifted as we ceased upon the booty and raided the loot therein. And indeed a veritable pirate's treasure, including the lovely Texas #1 TB, a special reason for plundering here.
- Texas #1 TB
+ green bath gel
TFTC & SL

On a very fleeting visit to the Kapiti Coast and squeezed an hour or so to search out a cache or two.

This was our second attempt of the afternoon and as it was a brilliant day there were Muggles ++. We waited until some very close ones moved off and soon homed in on GZ. A minute or two later I had the container in hand.

TNLN but will sign in and out a TB to record it's travels.

Did this in the dark. Added the Texas TB

Couldn't resist one last cache for the day. In the dark, which made it tricky, but we found it in the end.

Nice quick find and let the little fella burn off any remaining energy in the park. No swaps but cheers for a nice cache spot - will be back in the warmer months!

found this on 2nd attempt - this time with a gps (new 2nd hand one)

A very busy cache indeed! I just missed the mini-torch, I brought that down from One Man Bridge yesterday, dropped it off at Virgin this morning, and must have just missed getting it again at Zippy's loot! Hot potato!

+ watch - green tractor

You Kiwi cachers ROCK!!

2nd cache of the day - even closer to home than the first, this one was only 3/4 of a K away from home. Been up here many times with kids after a play at the park, and have often thought that this would be a great spot for a geocache, and it is!!

+ tractor - star pendant
+ Tryannasoaurous - mini torch

Got real nervous about muggles coming up behind us!!

AMAZED to find a toy snake we left this morning at Virgin's View (GCVHHF) turn up here before we did!!

Hehehe - busy day for the new caches in the area.
Our 2nd for the day also.
- Lava Tour TB
+ Torch (ex Virgin's View Cache)

Up bright and early at 8am to be the first to find this one!
Scurried to the top of the little hill and quickly identified a very likely hiding spot. Searched AROUND it for about five mintues, until accidentally looking IN it and found 'the Loot'.
- Carabineer
+ Packet of Pumpkin seeds and Lava Tour TB

Cheers,
Blarghster.
