It is with great regret we must archive this listing.

The hide was always a little tricky to get to when the establishment was trading, and they seem to have been doing very well recently. Over the past 2 weeks I have called in several times to check the hide (at early and late hours), but found the business open with many customers (aka muggles) outside where I needed to search.

It looks like the building will be here to stay for a while, if it is getting used this much, so that is good.

For those that found (or searched for) this cache, we trust you enjoyed hearing of the history of this grand old building.

2 DNFs - sounds like it might be missing - will check in the next week or so.. need to find a muggle free moment.

Had a good grope! Couldn't find it

We searched for some time, even using torch, but couldn't spot it. Nice old building, thanks for showing us.

Quick Find, Muggles have coffee but we were stealthy. TFTC

Quick find... TFTC

A quick stop early in the morning on the way to Waikato Hospital. TFTC

Had tried a couple of times that day before but it was far to busy. Completed the formalities on this one nice and early in the morning before any one was about. TFTC

A busy area, even early on a sunday morning. Left a pet rock - a butterfly. TFTC

Quiet here early in the morning so very few muggles around.
+ a marble, - nothing.

This was a tricky one to achieve as this is a popular cafe. However, the excellent clue and a quiet moment gave us just enough time to do the deed once we had parked nearby. Lovely building. TFTC

ANother on your knees find - why did i wear shorts

Nice easy find - looks like a nice place for a meal and dring - neat building TFTC Dropped off TB

Early morning raid, 7am no muggles. Easy find. TFTC!

Quick find. Being so cold today (it snowed alittle) no-one was sitting outside so no muggles around!! TFTC

TOOK A TB OUT AND PUT IN A COIN THE TB I TOOK OUT DOESN'T MATCH THE ONE'S THAT ARE SURPOSED TO BE IN THERE!!!!

Found it. TFTC

Needed the hint

Been on the list for a while, good opportunity this mornong, early... Easy find, TFTC

Found it thanks for the cache

King Boag needed to stop somewhere for a drink.

Well timed grab between muggle waves. TFTC

Have eyed this one up many times but due to large number of muggles we could not do it. Today we started out early and the area was empty which made for a quick find.

Good to have this one crossed off the list. TFTC.

Quick find at 7am! TFTC

I'm so pleased that I can cross this one off -- until now I was looking in the wrong place, just a few inches away. Dropped in a TB. TFTC.

found our first chace today (:
me and elsa very excited. TNLN TFTC

Weird bar chick.
Took a first timer out with me
TFTC

TFTC...Logged as Teri

Back again. Thanks for the replacement.

Quickly jumped out and grabbed this one, because it had a TB that I sent from England in it. TFTC.

Found this with my Dad and toddler pretty easy one saw the travel bug but wasn't sure what to do with it as I am such a newbie my 4th one found. Will read up about these TBs and maybe next time will give it a go... TNLN TFTC haha know some of the acronyms now lol!

TFTC, can deffinatly see how muggles can be an issue

Too many muggles around so couldn't get a chance to properly search. May try again next time we head to the Tron =)

Replaced the cache today. Ready for your hunt again.

Had a look in the obvious place but no luck. Couldn't spend too much time as muggles were near by. May want to check that this cache is still in place.

It is looking like the box has gone missing.
We are out of town for another couple of weeks, will check on our return.

Nope.

28-12-2010

Put us down for a DNF on this one.

TFTC.

7.40am - Third time lucky, suggest that best to hunt for this first thing in the morning when no one is around TFTC

hardly found it, had to get my son to help me again

visted this cache but too many muggles enjoying lunch under the umbrellas to safely retrieve... another day!

was here on friday night after playing touch and sitting right on top of it, had no idea.

nice little cache, we had to hunt a little for it and what a hard hiding place.

Will have to come back to find this one, lots of muggles about

Quick find before everyone starts coming for lunch. TFTC

Finally got to the Grill without patrons sitting outside on the deck. Quick retrieval. Wanted to have dinner there, but the live band was a bit loud for us. Must be getting old. Will be back some day for a meal. TFTC

We had come to this cache earlier in the night, but the outside tables were occupied and we had no chance.
After our last cache, we were just driving back this way, and we though we just might check it again.
No one there, Feathertop sprang into action and soon had the cache in hand.
He had only just got it back when a staff member came out - but we were gone.
thanks, Robmc.

Last find of the night and month.
Too busy here earlier.
Just right later on though I just got the cache back before a staff member came out to clear up.
TFTC

NICE AND DRY, and still safe and sound, Good Cache, Thanks!

Yeeyah excellent location for a cache... TFTC

A very interesting hide and one thats stood the test of time...a great excuse to have a beer and some chips too....enjoyed the cache and the beer!!

Easy find, and no muggles in sight.

Found it!

Seemed that the next door neighbours were still drinking from the night before & those that were still standing weren't paying too much attention to us. TFTC

A happy start to the day - thanks you for a nice straight forward cache. t4tc

Had to remove this cache while the muggles were enjoying a few quite drinks

#81 This cache had been on our watchlist for a very long time but hadn't gotten around to do it as there were always muggles around.
We were determined to find it tonight and waited for a long time before muggle staff left the area. Left Night Racers Geocoin. TFTC

Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Thought the muggles were going to be a problem, but excellent placement, made it an easy grab.

WKTBO T4TC

Out on a small cache run with Gadget-Tron.

Super stealth mode required. But fortunately just out of site for the grab and a nearby table to action the log beofre replacing.

This one required plenty of stealth as muggles enjoying their lunch at a table very close to GZ. -OGP- swooped in for the find while I stood guard. TFTC

Doing a school drop, no body here, good time for a quick grab...TFTC

We always when out here drive past and see if its a good time..
Yep..rainy days keep them inside so works as a bonus.
Quick find where we thought it would be
TFTC and challenge

tftc

at last a chance on a rainy day
easy find for a change
TFTC

The Phantom In And Out Undetected Again!
Nice easy find after coming from Greenslade House
TFTC

Nice & easy find with neoGeneva after a drink at Grey St kitchen. TFTC

Our second find of the morning, and another nice quick one, which is great as we hope to find 51 caches today to bring our tally to 1200 before the new year. TFTC.

# 1151

Instead of stealth, we split up and checked both sides at the same time. Mrs B won. Nobody cared or noticed. Movin' on... TFTC.

Another history lesson around Hamilton..TFTC

Hmmmm....... a cache listed under RadioNut's profile, that he added my name to. Well, time I got it off my nearest unfound list.
What better day, than Christmas (thanks to Santa - checked my stocking - hee hee!)
Tested out the new toy, and bingo. Cache found. Checked logs but could not find any paper logs of Wherigo GC picked up.

Thanks

Looked in the right place this time, didn't I? TFTC

Out & about in Hamilton and an early start to find the central city ones while it was quiet and although there were no patrons, there were neighbours closeby T4TC

Found as part of my three week caching trip from Wellington to Auckland - # 814. Came past three times yesterday, but "that table" was always occupied - free at 5:30 this morning though! Thanks.

Had to look twice to find this one. TFTC

Found fairly easily, was getting dark. No sign of trackable item listed in inventory. SL TNLN TFTC

Searched for this cache (and Beale Cottage) at 6am in the rain a few mornings ago. Got wet but found neither.

Could do with a less enigmatic Hint as I'm getting rather discouraged getting to the siteand not being able to find the container.

TNLNSL

easy find between muggles

TFTC. Had to avoid muggles but was all good.

Coin drop

Easy find after waiting for awhile to pick our moment. A few people hanging around but were able to get in and out un noticed. Cool place for a cache. TFTC

This cache was so much fun! Im tempted to be a PI after the fun that I had. There was a guy loitering around hitting golfballs in the park, another guy sitting in his car reading the newspaper with his car on for 30mins and another guy who looked suspicious so we watched him, and then he in turn began watching us. Back to the cache, when an opportune moment arose we grabbed it with both hands and found the cache!
Left the beerfest geocoin to enjoy a few drinks.
TFTC

good find, pity we 20 year olds get denied for a beer if one of us has no i d !

luckily The Riv is in close proximity and is keen for some business!

cheers

Found this cache and retrieved it for BPat as well. A bit messy down there!

Took the grandkids along to recover the cache, couldn't reach it myself.

Took a couple of visits and a bit of advice from another cacher.., but eventually found it. TFTC
Spider Pigs

Found it on 2nd attempt - had to bail on first attempt due to numerous muggles loitering around, despite us taking our time and enjoying lunch. Obviously a sunny weekend at lunchtime is NOT the best time to try and find this cache! Quick and easy retrieval today, on a wet and windy weekday morning - muggles definately not an issue in this yucky weather! TFTC.

Quick find, early in the morning. TFTC

had me on me hands and knees-had many of drinks in here but have never been on knees before lol great hide

Found in the early afternoon before the deck got too busy. Needed the clue. TFTC.

You the Man! got draged to Hamilton for a shoping excursion, lucky to escape and find a couple of treasures, was a tad parched by the time one got here an had to partake in a quite sampling session! sneaky hide! TNLN Cheers Muzy Man!

Thought all would be quiet in this area tonight, but it seems there was a trivia contest on. whipped in quickly and grabbed the cache, when we went to return it a large group of muggles came past with their faces painted, looks like they have been somewhere having fun.TFTC

Have had this one on the list for a while good to get it done nice game of trivia going on inside easy find TFTC.
