trials and tribulations of two tech geeks geocaching in and around Auckland, New Zealand

Porters Path (Auckland) GC1QGKW

Description:

Omana beach offers a great experience for all regardless of age as it provides a safe, sheltered sandy beach that includes a boat ramp, playground for little ones, petanque grounds and public toilets with tap water (not suitable for drinking).

The cache is located along side a little concrete path and steps that lead from the beach to the road (or vice versa), it’s always accessible from the road side and some stealth is required should the beach be occupied or if the neighbours are breakfasting on their deck (lucky them!) but this brilliant little spot simply invites you to take some fantastic photos which would put to rest the inquisitive minds of passerby muggles.

Tug-aware GC1QGJ9

April 25th, 2009

Description:

Tupperware container in Whitfords boatclub

Hidden away in Whitford’s little known boat club. Great views great you on your approach to this location.

Geocaching is so often associated with Tupperware, yet very few cache hides use these famous containers. Tug-aware is a nice and easy multi with no climbing or bush wacking at all required for WP1 (cache is in plain sight).

You are looking for a medium sized Tupperware container with a few assortments of swag inside for swap. Please be sure to close the container tightly and hide well.

Please note that the gate to this reserve is mostly closed so please park at the top, there are no signs but the familiar MCC gate will show the way.

Wet one GC1Q3XV

S 36° 59.090 E 175° 02.148
Placed: 12 April 2009
Geocaching.com: GC1Q3XV

Description:

Great little hide in a great spot to visit

This is an surprising little hideaway, the area has been (well still in the process of) developed, with new footpaths and bridge. Great for a picnic stop (tables at cache location).

You are going to get your hands wet with this one, please ensure you close the container correctly and hide as well or better than found.

If you feel like some exercise (and a great view) there is a walking route available
