Clearing the area for others.
Thanks for visiting. Please come back, it's a lovely walkway.

Will look into this one

Out with angeshirl and after not finding anything in the tree noticed one very soggy logbook laying on the grass, with what was left of the container nearby. Not enough of a cache to replace so grabbed what was left to return to the owner when I get a chance. Cheers

No cache to be found currently, broken cache and log book were all that was left.

Had to make a quick grab in between the passing pedestrians and cyclists. There was a bit of water at the bottom of the container, but the logbook is still good to go. Cheers for the cache and pointing out the cycleway. I'll have to come back for a speed run along the path. Looks like it would be fun to dodge between all the pedestrians. Popular spot.

Found while on a pleasant evening caching in the area. Thanks for bringing me here.

Nice easy one, found during my first bike ride since I was a student quite some number of years ago. Its all coming back to me now. TFTC.

Took a while but we finally found it Clever hiding spot! TFTC

Nicely hidden container. Had to wait for a muggle or two to pass before I could go for the find. Thanks for the cache, and the nice views also.

Found quickly between muggles.

Well camoed! Thanks.

Found after countless hasty searches while walking past - it's only a few hundred metres from home. Pencil must have fallen out, so provided photgraphic proof to the CO - logged with permission. Will fill in the log at a later date now taht I can find it T4TC

Our first ever find..TFTC..on to the next one!

I searched while Dad lazed in the shade under a tree. I spotted it and when there were no muggles around Dad made the grab and signed the log.

This area was muggle central today!! We made our way to GZ then sat in the shade of a tree trying to look inconspicuous to the muggles while we searched. JacktheAllBlack (8YO) was able to do more searching than Dad and he spotted it. In a muggle free period Dad grabbed the cache and signed the log.

Quick and easy find. TFTC!

Quick and easy find. TFTC!

TFTC. Introducing a cousin to geocaching found with Sunrise29

with Eco & Rev (8D)

Cute little find:) log is a bit damp though

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We spent a nice afternoon out East Auckland, picking up a few caches as we drove around. A nice quick find here, thankfully no muggles around while we looked. A nice spot, thanks for the cache!

Wondered along further this way after the snakes and ladders cache.

After reading the hint, had a pretty good idea of where to look, however the pathway was relatively busy, so had to time my searching in between cyclists and pedestrians.

Managed to spot it pretty quickly though! And so made my way over to the side that looked easiest for retrieval, where again I had to time my movements right. Not too difficult, just required a wee bit of patience on such a sunny day!

TFTC!!

Second geocaching visit to this area this week...we really like this walkway..so peaceful. Its nice when geocaching helps you find great gems of spots like this one. Tried to use stealth in searching for the cache, but not sure how successful we were.
Nice hide.

Sharp-eyed Omi spotted it. Lovely windy day for a bike ride.

Very good hiding spot. Hanging nicely

Nice and easy, quite muggle-free
TFTC!

Awesome hide
Tftc

Great excuse for an evening outing to tick off some of the local caches.

TFTC

New logsheet

left ink dot on sodden paper to prove i was there

spent ages or minutes on the wrong side looking dodgy. log book real wet tried to write

Sorry didnt have pen on this sunny high muggle afternoon! Caution stealth required.

Sodden log, cracked lid of cache may be to blame.

Me and my boys found this one without too much trouble, however, the log was very wet and I couldn't sign it I'm afraid. Thanks for the cache though.

Cool find. Awesome cache. TFTC!!

Cool cache, thanks

This was the first time that I had been to this reserve and I thought that it was pretty cool. Quick and easy find with not many muggles around. Unfortunately the log book was *very* damp and should be replaced so I'll also log a maintenance. TFTC.

I suspect that the film canister was quite sealed correctly so the log book is *very* damp and is disintegrating. It should probably be replaced.

We found this at the second attempt last weekend - second time we passed by, we couldn't believe we'd missed it the first time ) Nice cammo. TFTC

Yeps. Very beautiful hide. There were no contents. I have added a new log in the cache. It was a clever hide, cause it was simple but nice camoed.

Found it but no log book. Noted that a later finder has now added a log book.

Canister is there, but no contents.

Good hideout. No log in the canister.

Cool cache in tree (: tftc

Log saturated. Great spot though.

Looked for this one about an hour before and had no luck. On the way back had another quick look...............and there it was! I don't know how I missed it first time. Must be a case of "couldn't see the forest for the trees". The log was truly soaked so couldn't sign. TFTC

Took a while but mums good eyes saw this one tftc

#26, very wet log sheet. Tftc

TFTC - kids enjoyed the walk and the park

Found on a beautiful morning for jogging and caching.

Waited for a couple of muggles to move on. Looked in from one side of the tree and spotted the cache on the other side and then moved around to that side but try as I might I couldn't see it. Moved back to the original spot and re-spied it. Without taking my eyes off it I slowly went back around to remove the logbook.

Cheers for the cache.

Nice one to find, quite a quick one to spot. TFTC.

Spotted this one pretty quickly, Great stuff. TFTC. Cheers Bo

Eyes deserted me on this one

So much easier when they smack you in the head, TFTC

Great camo!!
Found with ConorHawk after walking backwards and fowards for ages!

Nice hide! Kids loved searching for this one. TFTC

Map a bit confusing, I suspect the bench seat has been moved.
Looked and looked, nothing found

An easy find while "training" our newly adopted Pug dog to be a geocahing dog!!! Yeah right - that'll take a million years!!!

Took us a while but got there in the end. TFTC

Nice little cache. Easy find on a rainy day

Went out with my girls with new Nuvi - not ideal but did the job. TFTC

Found months ago but only just remembered to log. TFTC.

Lovely day for a walk along the river

One of four caches found today on the lovely Rotary Walkway/cycleway - all were accessed from the path as we cycled along

Strolled along the pathway collecting a few caches along the way. Made the find with relative ease which was a relief because these ones can be tricky. TFTC.

Quick find! TFTC!

Second one of this type - out with the crew today

12.53pm by Furbs. 8/12 today.

Nice Little find, Econd one like this that we found today. TFTC.

Nice little hide, found one very similar earlier today.

Really easy cache. Peeked into the foliage of leaves and found instantly. TFTC!

Quick easy find by Poshepocket, no difficulties. Another cache on Bucklands Beach would have been a great clue as to type of cache if it had become difficult TFTC!

Another quick easy find, had to watch out for muggles though. TFTC

Whilst this was a fairly easy find, the tough bit was to put it back. There were lots of muggles still keeping up with New Year's resolutions, either cyling, running or walking, so I admired the view for quite a while, although it looks a lot better when the tide is in. Eventually I got it replaced.

Quick find between dog walkers early in the morning. I remember when only cows lived around here.

Kai found this one. Nice walkway

On a caching spree with Kevs_Team, an easy and quick find. Normally it takes ages to find one of these.

Well after getting beaten to the FTF by Kiwileon at a nearby cache, I decided that I couldn't let his cache beat me also. I attempted this one last night, but the constant stream of muggles and a GPS that couldn't decided between two potential GZs meant I was soon trooting off to find estuary views cache. I had a look at google maps last night so was able to sort out the correct GZ and which side of GZ I should be looking at. Super quick find this morning. From impossible to easy in the space of a few hours! Hightide last night made for a lovely view as I walked to and from GZ. But hightide this morning was even better! Cheers for the cache.

Had to look twice at this one! Well camo'd. Great bike ride on a beautiful day.

Was a bit harder to find because the eyes can play tricks on you! Left an American coin.

Nice cache. Lucky despite sunny day few muggles. Can imagine being tough on busy day!! TFTC

2638 Although not fond of these type of hides (only because we are bad at them!) we found it in reasonable time and without any swearing and cursing! TFTC

nice find TFTC

One of the first caches we found in the area today. Once we had waited for the walkers to go the cache was soon in hand. TFTC

A great day and this area was very popular! Mrs B & Jnr B's were joined by Mrs B's sister, niece & nephew ... so lots of eyes for spotting ... Mrs B's found it first (something about having found a few like this before I'm sure!) and the kids enjoyed the challenge of finding it too!! TFTC

A nice cache after work.
Cheers

Hard to spot, even without camo, but got it in between muggles.

Nice walkway, quick little find. TFTC.

Once again, weather a bit damp but still plenty of muggles around. TFTC

#1472 (3/8 in the Howick area). Nice hide, which we twigged to quite quickly. TFTC.

Took a minute or 2 to spot. I like this sort of hide. TFTC.

In the end it was spotted,(Not by me, of course)

Only muggle problem was a nosy toddler.

TFTC

Nice find.

What's that old saying about not being able to see the wood for the trees....? Don't know how long we stared at this one before we realised it was right in front of us! TFTC
