Am removing cache for chrispy-twitch. Needs maintenance. Container is cracked from rocks in top.
A bit more open since I was last here. Couple of trees down.

A quick find after some muggles hanging around left. Had spotted an Unconformity from a distance!

2nd find of the day!
Had a nice walk round the waterfront. Buzzing with people everywhere. Kids in the boats in lagoon.
Managed to spot the cache and sit beside it. Then took a while before I could retrieve the cache as there were kids running past. Managed to get it and replace it when they were further away.

After a bit of a walk around, knowledge of the 6th Fundamental Placement Guideline and a guess, I spotted some footprints which lead me to the cache.

Coordinates lead me straight to it, in hand instantly.

Sure I have the right coords. Texted damok to double check and I had worked them out the same. Found a likely spot, but no luck. Checked many more likely spots from my first choice to no avail.
Was having an interesting time with GPS and terrain. I could get good accuracy, but on multiple occasions had GPSr saying at GZ, but at points 15m away from where I had before. Wondered round for a very long time looking and walking different approaches and seeing where the GPS though the cache was.

Had to tie my shoes a few times. Also had to sit there and read my phone for a while as a muggle smoking was looking in my direction when I was wanting to put it back.

Walk round the fence with aerial_survey, damok & agentnoel.
Already found but visited along with a trip into the cave. Managed to cross stream fine on the way up but coming back dunked one foot. Wet boot for the rest of the day. Fortunately I completely forgot that it was wet.
The cache was wet inside, though log was dry. Will return soon to tidy it up for Chrispy Twitch.

Took a bit of searching. Part 2 of the hint adds some confusion. The reference in Log to concrete is incorrect. There is no concrete. Just a greywacke outcrop.

While at the cache. In the tree above a Kereru Landed, then 5 tui which had been in the tree beside, then a Kaka came to visit too. So it was a very full tree of birds.

Noticed the coordinates were going to take us right into the sanctuary. Saw we needed to do something. I read the hint and knowing the area knew exactly where it would be.
Though it still took a little time to find it. Until I was staring right at it.

I had to run back to this one after damok read the wrong number off the film canister.

Had to get this to continue my longest caching streak. Though it's not many days, I am trying to increase it.
Really interesting hide. Parked up jumped out, straight back in car to get out of rain signed log and back in its hiding place.

A nice spot on the edge of Tinakori Hill. Saw quite a few walkers and runners. Also heading back down the path there was someone sitting outside their house enjoying the weather while on Skype talking to someone.

A nice little park, sheltered from the goings on right beside you.
After a bit of searching found the cache.

Managed to find and retrieve easily with muggles around. I love having a notebook and a phone to look like I'm doing things. On top of the Gardens Map I just picked up.

As mentioned in Log
I found a syringe with needle within a meter of the cache. Luckily with cap on.
With the terrain on this site and the likelihood of putting your hands on the ground, I think the cache site needs to be reconsidered. As this poses a high risk to any cachers in the area, as the possibility of more syringes in area.

An easy find. Initially didn't think the name could mean anything as that's not what it is. But it was.

Found pretty quickly, just hiding.
Looking down at the work site for the tunnel. I have never seen so many scissor lifts in one place!

Came across a fellow cacher with cache in hand!

Walked up from Holloway Road. With some rain, 12 dogs of the dog walker I met barking and a very slippery and muddy track finally got to the cache.
Was finally able to find this cache after thinking I must do it for a long time.
Found it easily. Great hide. Noticed something that was out of place.
