This was our first attempt at Geocache and involved the whole family crawling around on hands and knees behind the bus stop! Loved it!
At first, we didn't understand the clue, but it all came clear once we were there. Nice camo! TFTC
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.
Yay ...Thanks Rosmar ...Loved your hide !
I have made a similar thing myself for a future cache ...(with Ric's manpower !)
Was so glad this was a quick stop, after spending fruitless hours at Glyn's Olde Bus Stop cache today !

Quickly found once I shone a light on things and saw the out of place (my touch search didn't turn anything up). No bendy buses about here this time of night!
Out with Reveurs and Anastriel after work to get up their totals. Another quick easy find. TFTC.
We were attempting to get a lot of caches after work today so Reveurs and I could hit our goals before the end of the year, this cache was lovely and quick - just what we were after! TFTC
I had wanted to get to 350 caches before the end of the year and totally forgot, until Saturday. . . So out with Lycurgon and friend to try and get closer. TFTC
Found at approx 5.40pm while out for a Saturday afternoon walk on the North Shore with Mrs McMike2012 & some 'muggle' friends. TN:LN:SL. TFTC. #490 for us.
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 . Thanks.
Out for a MEGA day of geocaching with Earthbound Chief & Co. A quick easy find. TFTC.
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.
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!
Looked in all the obvious places but still no luck. Took me a while to understand the hint but got it in the end. Awesome cache
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!

Another day; another FFED required. Thanks for this cache. A nice easy find 'once the penny dropped' !!!. Crafty hint and clue..Log quite damp and tending to pulp!! TFTC
Alice the camel had..... no humps because Alice is a horse.
Thank you for the cache.
Thank you for the cache.
Out and about today for a day of geocaching adventure in Takapuna with KiwifruitsNZ.
Quickly secured this cache and moved on to our next find! 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.
First find! On my normal running route so close to home. Log was a bit damp but otherwise good
Quick park and grab as promised. We came armed with three torches to fill a calendar blank but managed without using them. And now off for dinner. NINO TFTC
On another F.A.C.T mission this evening. Nice quick find once I had waited some muggle walkers out. Cheers for the cache placement!
Quick find on the way past. Off peak so no need to worry about muggles in the bus stop. TFTC
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
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.
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.
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
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!
This one had me for a moment until I realized something...then I quickly found it. TFTC
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
Geobiked in the area for few caches. The weather was good and it was quiet around here. TFTC
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
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
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.
The hint was spot on, camel train way station was empty at the time, so easy find.
Nice easy find using the hint. Had to wait for camel train passenger muggles to be uplifted. TFTC.
Quick little cashe! Had a look around and then used the hint, which was useful! TFTC
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.

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!)

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.

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.

Third time lucky as our mini cachers don't like DNF caches lol - and of course the change of clue and the help from rosmar (thanks!). Great hide, nice find at last

Will come back another day.
