Quick find, good clues. TFTC
 
09-Aug-14
At first, we didn't understand the clue, but it all came clear once we were there. Nice camo! TFTC
 
15-Jul-14
Awesome! I thought about the clue and quickly found out what it meant. Brushed away a bit and couldn't see anything. Then accidentally knocked down cache and I had it! Well crafted cache. Cool camo. All yellow lines around cache if you go up Almar and pass the school. Do a U turn and park opposite cache.

29-Oct-13
Found on the way to the airport. Loved the hide thanks Rosmar, very clever. I don't think I've ever seen any bendy buses. The "camels" must have been shy because I didn't notice any today either. I did find what they'd left behind though Wink. Thanks.
 
28-Oct-13
Out for a MEGA day of geocaching with Earthbound Chief & Co. A quick easy find. TFTC.
 
28-Oct-13
EB Nano found the exterior and then we had to locate the actual cache. It was discovered and as we were signing the log the owner of the house here came out his driveway and dumped some metal onto his hard rubbish pile from a height with a crash...and we nearly wet our pants. Quickly rehid it and moved on. TFTC, liked the construction.
 
25-Oct-13
Day 1 of Woody & Papa's awesome Mega Adventure. Woody hasn't turned up yet so Papa is out caching alone finding a few before heading to the beach for shark and tatties!! Nice camo!Quick find. Salamat!

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

After finding another cache down the road just before midnight, we decided to drive up the road and find a cache for the next day, just after midnight! Once the hint item was spotted, the cache and its guard slugs were quickly found. TFTC!

I totally over thought this one, creating Hs out of all sorts of things - eventually located the cache after bringing it back down to the basics. Thanks for another Rosmar hide to help with the daily caches.

Thought I'd grab a quick cache on my way home from work and was passing the area. No buses today but was a nice quick find TFTC
 
23-Dec-12
As I reached the bus stop a bus came along and the driver slowed down thinking I was a customer. I had to wave him on his way. The cache was quick found and was hurriedly signed in the shelter before another bus appeared. Thanks for the cache.
 
13-Oct-12
Looked in all the wrong places until the right place was found. A few muggles walking/running past so had to study the bus schedule until the coast was clear. Quick find after the lightbulb came on. TFTC.
 
12-Oct-12
Continuing on our journey along this road collecting caches. Easy find using the hint. Log was a bit damp, but managed to sign. Realised when I arrived home, that a pencil had fallen out of this cache, and was still in my car. Didn't notice any buses. TFTC
 
07-Oct-12
No camels, trains or bendy buses, but found the cache easy enough, tftc
 
26-Sep-12
Checked on log sheet and all looks fine & dry.
 
23-Sep-12
Found it, but the logbook was wet so couldn't sign it. Not sure why as the bag is not ripped -- maybe the ziplock bag was left unzipped a bit? Enjoyed finding it though, thanks! Smile
 
14-Aug-12
This one had me for a moment until I realized something...then I quickly found it. TFTC
 
26-Jul-12
Passed the other week but there were a bunch of gnomes lined up for the camel train, so came back today and was all quiet, quick find, TFTC
 
21-Jul-12
It took a few minutes before the penny dropped, then a quick find. TFTC
 
17-Jul-12

03-Jul-12
Too easy Smile Would be a good cache for kids to do
 
19-Jun-12
Had to do a job for my daughter in Countdown Takapuna, originally planned on a different cache, but with running late, it was dark and very wet when I'd finished, so headed for this cache, as hoped to not get too wet. Had an idea of the places it probably wasn't, so skipped those and shone the torch around. Noticed a spot that seemed worth investigation, Yes, Yes, Yes - at least I could sit while signing the log. This is the first cache of the 2nd half of the year for finding a cache a day, so glad to have one in a direction, that I don't usually come. Waved to you as I passed your place, both ways. TFTC
 
15-Jun-12
Out to show a friend what geocaching is all about and glad to make a quick find. Was raining so was very glad for the cover nearby. TFTC
 
05-Jun-12
Wet rainy day, oh no, where to find a cache quick without getting wet!! and try to keep filling the calendar. Finally decided on this one since son wanted a lift home. Have tried to get this one repeatedly, so was delighted to finally have it in hand and get that smiley. Good hide. SL. TFTC. Big Grin
 
17-May-12
Couldn't make sense of the hint until we found it! Great hide, TFTC!
 
16-Apr-12

The hint was spot on, camel train way station was empty at the time, so easy find.
 
17-Feb-12
Nice easy find using the hint. Had to wait for camel train passenger muggles to be uplifted. TFTC.

22-Jan-12
5.30pm. It was quick this attempt as no muggles around and I had had a little additional info from a previous finder. Enjoyed all the irrelevant information on the camel trains.

TFTC - its quite close to home and had been nagging me that I had not found it.

12-Jan-12
Had a bit of a search around in all the obvious spots, with no luck!
I looked at the hint, but nothing fitted... where could this cache be?!

Took a step back, and it looks like all I needed was a bit of perspective! The cache was then very soon in hand! Ah, silly me!

Last find for the day though (or night?) Was so tired, and it was 1am, so decided to head home. (Well, I'd crashed straight after work, and woke up at 9pm, so it's not like I had no sleep. I actually feel more refreshed now than normally I would!)

TFTC!! Smile
 
06-Jan-12
Quick easy drive-by find.
 
06-Dec-11
This would have been a quick find except that a motorist pulled over to make a call. After about a 15 minute wait she drove away and I quickly grabbed the cache.

19-Nov-11
4.10pm. Back again for a second look, one of those camels came along while we were looking and just about stopped. We waved it on with a smile and continued the look.
Cunning hide.
