Dang! All the trouble and time to replace it too!
Someone must be watching this one!

Found it mate but in pieces all over the show!!!! Have it with me to repair......

Been too long again

!

No worries - thanks for getting it back up and running again.

this one will be replaced, sorry for the time it took

Been too long

Thank god 4 that..... Was starting to think I was going mad!!!!! Let me know when up&going and I'll return.

Looked for a 4th time with no luck. I wonder if it has been taken or fallen down somewhere. Either that or I am just a blind so&so!!!! Lol

its gone alright, will replace.

Looked everywhere but gps going nuts. Didn't want to disturb garden to much so gave up.

Easy find, and great views from here... TNLN.

The cache has apparently been found by a muggle, who's left a vaguely rude message in the log book sometime since the last person found it.

Nicely hidden, soon located. SL TFTC

Cache very exposed so we hide it away more securely. Wonderful views from cache location. t4tc

There are nice views here for the locals. TFTC

Nice one - TNLNSL

Brickwork? What Brickwork? I was far too focused on the find to notice the Brickwork. Thanks.

Quick find. TFTC

#436
We had a little bit problems to understand the cache description, but finally we found it.
Thank you for the cache and greetings from Germany, kesteri

Great brick work!!! Must be a very good local trades man.
Nice and piecefull spot.
TFTC

Found while on a numbers run in Albany with the whole family. TFTC

[Found 1520 NZST. Nice easy find. No trouble with moisture although it was raining a little. Admired the view. Nice peaceful spot. Admired the brickwork too, whose hand ????????.No muggles which was a surprise. Left a "Koru Token" with nil out:
Thanks Glyn, another good-one..]

Easy find... TFTC
+Kush ball

Busy place on mother's day but we managed a quick find and replacement of the cache T4TC.

Admired the brickwork - a lovely place to sit and contemplate or just enjoy the view. Good safe place for a hide. Thanks.

On a personal mission today, so this one was an appropriate stop for me. Nice to spend some peaceful moments here.
Nearly was snookered with this one but found a way in the end.
Out: Smily Fridge Magnet
In: Fish Eraser
SL. TFTC.

Nice spot....to relax

nice cache. TFTC

TFTC, very peaceful spot

Was visiting this place to pay my respects to a nearby relative and realised that a cache was very close. No immediate success, so returned to the car, re-read the description and got the hint off the laptop. After that an almost instant find. Nice spot. TNLNSL - TFTC!

Was in the area visiting friends. Fantastic hide of the cache. Thanks for bring me here. I have to say I don't come here that often - nice little area!. TFTC.

first day at caching

challenging

Quite a few muggles here today - I'm guessing because it was father's day. Had a good hunt through the gazebo, but couldn't find the cache. Found the nicely hidden electrical sockets though - didn't find the cache there either Cheers Gav

Just couldn't get it together here. Couldn't find the cache either.

Interesting place to hide a cache! TNLN TFTC

all ok, put it back in the right place, just a clasp missing, will replace.

Nice and quiet place on a late Saturday afternoon on the roadbike this time. Indeed, easy find. Container must have been blown over in the wind. It was visible from a distance. Also, when you put it back in place, you may surprise a muggle on the other side of the wall, beware. TFTC

Very quick find.TNLNSL TFTC

Drove right up to it, towing the trailer! Nice brickwork and a quick find. TFTC.

Lots of muggles close by but all looking the other way. Guessed correctly for this one and a quick subtle grab, nice hide however.
TNLNSL, TFTC

After a few false starts, we were onto this cache. Note to M@: It reminds me very much of an 'ariwa' cache too. I think I got a FTF there - that was over four years ago!
TNLN
Thanks for the cache!

Nice easy find on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

Nice quick find in a very deserted area today, or is it??? TFTC

#287 Quick find on second attempt. First attempt abandon due to service conducted near GZ. BTW, very nice brickwork Glyn.
TNLNSL, TFTC

With the help of my trusty dog I found this not-too-difficult cache. Took party popper and left a 270calibre cartrige case. Was a bit concerned that container could fall beyond reach when placing back.

Hard to get cache out as fallen down in place.

The 5th and last cache of the day as dinner is calling. 4th of Glyn's and most impressed with the places and caches. This was a quick and easy find in another lovely spot. Thanks Glyn, will be doing some more of your caches soon. TNLNSL

Last cache of the day with Kaz, great spot for the hide, saw it instantly (because we were looking) it would probably be invisible to anyone not looking though... liked the mention of the "IP Address next door" it's meaning was revealed once arriving at GZ.. humourous. Took Globe Trotter TB. TFTC.

08:29 What a good hide, easy find as it does stand out a little to someone looking there. Stunning views from up here. Thanks for the cache glyn.
Took: Nothing
Left: Globe Trotter key ring TB

Easy peazy, Lemon squeezy. Looks a very restful place

Took TB

Quick easy find with Kiwigirl71. Thanks!

Quick and easy find - thanks to my sisters GPS. Mine was playing up and pointing in the opposite direction!

Dropped off my first travelbug, hoping it will get to its destination

Was the 3rd find for the afternoon. Parked a little distance way, but that was no problem. Had to wait for muggles to move-on before finding. A nice spot.
Cheers TFTC
TNLN

WE had been here before for a nearby cache, but its such a lovely area we had no problem returning again. When we reached GZ, the cache just had to be where we thought it was... nice hide!
Picked up TB
TBs ET and Fishy visited but didn't stay.
TFTC

Nice hide thanks. Zork had sped in before us, but stopped for a chat. Good to catch up and admire the views. TFTC

Tramper Ted and I were to me up here after "Manhunt" but my GPSr got me here with enough time to find and hide before he turned up. Great little hidey hole.

In Dolphin TB from San Diago via Dublin.

Out Perth T Shirt TB.

Thanks for the hunt.

We really enjoyed this clever hide. A very quiet place early on a Saturday morning. Loved the angels all about at foot level.
Left TB Perth T-shirt, and took the key case. Thanks for an interesting cache, with great views.

6.35pm. Arrived at GZ without problem. Mr. Flounderer's father, Jack, is in the Returned Servicemen's quarters. Once there we had some difficulty locating the cache. The hint and title of the cache did not make it obvious to us as it seems to have done to other more enlightened geocachers before us. Perserverance despite the chilly wind that came up with the setting sun won out in the end. Excellent brickwork by the way.
+ Carabina;
- Sticky bug
Also left a MGA geocoin

Great spot and quick find TNLNSL TFTC

Here with Tufty. Well hidden, but thanks to good clue, easily found. Fair few muggles about today, but a nice spot for some contemplation. TNLNSL. Cheers.

This one reminds me of 'ariwa' - I wonder what he's up to now?
T4TC glyn - M@

Such a quiet spot that I didn't think we were going to have any trouble but just as we were about to return the cache about 8 cars drove by and 2 stopped. Darn. Had to wait a few minutes before the coast was clear again. TNLN. Many thanks

Came with Coldstream leaving the women home holding the baby. Everybody seems to bevisiting today.
TNLNSL.
Cheers for the cache.

Excellent Brickwork, and view!
Good location. Keep up the sneaky hides.

Sorry all,yes you were right Navigull, I stuffed them up!! .Took JDNZ to put them right.

Well I finally managed to grab this one on my third visit.
I am strarting to develop a complex about glyns caches.So much so that i suppressed the urge to rush acroos the harbour for his latest the other night.

However my muggle trouble continued. We had 2 of the junior mokapuna along to stage a diversion, but I just had got the container in hand ( Which did not have the tactile feeling of a brick,Thanks Glyn) when A muggle arrived.

I hastily stuck the container behind my back but then had to stand wedged against the bricks for an extended period while he discussed the new construction, the view and the weather. All the while his eyes were scanning the brickwork such that I half expected to find he was a geocacher! Apparently not though.

Nice little cache. Found it quite easily a nice start to a caching afternoon

Tim

Nice one. Found without the clue too! TFTC

Arrived here at about 12:15, only to find that St Ouens had already been. Was hoping to run into him at another cache, but didn't. He also did't visit any of the other 23 cache I found today before me.

Hi Nav, Yes Im knocking off a few in Budapest, next stop Dublin. I'll be back!

Where is everyone....? No one else seems to want it so I will claim the FTF, not often I get the chance to get one on the shore. Returned from Hamilton, saw this was still up for grabs, and decided to head home from work the long way.
Coords seemed a bit off, but with the clue was able to find, good hide!
Had rehid the cache and was trying to confirm the coords when a muggle approached, so left without a recheck.
TFTC, TNLNSL

OK sp8sm8 I will admit I was a bit slow but I still beat you to GZ.
I was heading to Warkworth early this morning and detoured to try for the unclaimed FTF.
Unfortunately, at the given co-ords there was nil to find and I was just starting to widen the search area when I attracted the attention of a maintenance worker. He waas striding purposefully towards me so I dived into the adjacent facility where I waited for 10 minutes until he had moved away a bit but he still had me under observation and by now I was going to be late for my appointment so I abandoned the search and headed off north.
I would have expected Zork V's attentions but I think he is in Europe at the moment.
