On a north island roadie we decided to visit Raglan for a couple of nights.A short stop. Rummaged around and put my hands on the prize.TFTC
Heading back towards Raglan and made time for two caches overlooking the beach. Being a weekday there weren't too many around giving plenty of space to admire the view. Wandering around the vicinity offered some great vantage points.Found the cache neatly concealed. TFTC
Found it, very easy clear directions. Stunning views. All signed however the inside is quite wet.Thanks for the find
A great excuse for a rest during our beach & bush jog. Made it harder than necessary, then easily spied in the rengarengas. TFTC
No success either but found a couple of coffee cups which were taken to the nearby rubbish bin.
Came to this location many times waiting for muggles to clear out. Finally got an empty parking lot and sent some time digging. No luck! Lots of effort for a sad face. Oh well, on to the next!
Found with our 7 and 10 y.o with their cousins. Thank you Butterfly_lady & RadioNut50 for making us stop here. Find # 1991.
Arf, un moldu dans son van est garé juste devant et n'a pas l'air de vouloir bouger tout de suite. J'attends de voir un peu mais sinon je laisserai tombé celle ci aujourd'hui...
Arf, a muggle in his van is parked right out front and doesn't seem to want to move just yet. I'm waiting to see a bit but otherwise I'll drop this one today...

I was out working today and am introducing a person i care for to geocaching and she is loving the finds. A quick easy find with a few treasures inside. Added another one to the cache. Great view. Thanks for the cache.
Quick find after having a small picnic. Took a nice stral down to the beach.

Returned this afternoon as too many muggers this morning. Where it is meant to be
I found the coordinates and the description sufficiently accurate for a quick find.

Down from Auckland for a reasonable day of caching but I left far too late and didn't really get enough caches.
This cache just eluded me today, although there is a really good hint and it's been found very recently, I just could not find it, I looked up and down, left and right, back and front. After a good 15 mins my tummy started to rumble telling me to eat so headed off to find something in town.
I shall keep this cache on my watchlist to see who might find it or not.

1st one of the new year. Found after spending an awesome afternoon on the beach.
Stealth required finding this one. Eventually got there after everyone left. TFTC
Oooh we parked right beside it by accident! Fast easy cache for the kids thanks.
We headed over from the nearby "Four Directions" cache where it was getting quite busy with people parking all over the place to stop and admire the view and were surprised to see the carpark was completely empty. We assume people tend to stop at the first lookout they come to and don't go exploring for other options, which is a shame because the view from here is just as great, if not better. But good for us as we had the entire area to ourselves.
After quickly locating the cache we spent some time having a look around and enjoying the solitude.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice and straight forward find - seems I timed it well after yesterday’s owner maintenance! Beautiful area with some of the best views in the Waikato. A handful of cars parked nearby - be careful if muggles before digging around for this cache. TFTC! 
Four DNF logs, time for a check. Found it in a slightly different position from that well described in the hint, but within 500mm of the spot. The vegetation has changed a bit since our last visit, so we decided the new spot was better, and adjusted the hint to match. This is a busy spot so please do read the hint when searching and cover it well when leaving.
Looked around as best we could with a car parked nearby. Think we were in the right spot, but couldn't find anything.
The container was left open by a previous casher, nothing damaged though just some bugs making a habit. Down from Auckland with friends for a few days, thought we'd stop for some cashing while the others catch the surf. Beautiful spot, haven't been here before myself. Thanks for the stop
The youngest of the Northwood clan was playing football in Raglan. Mr Northwood could not watch due to Level 2 restrictions, so used the time to track down a few caches.
Unfortunately no luck here, despite it being found yesterday. A lot of cars and muggles around didn't help with my search.

What a day to pick a holiday with kids. A bit stormy today. A bit of a search and cache was located. Signed and replaced. Tftc
Q and E find today with straightforward hints.

Sorry TeamTaylana that was our wedding in the weekend! Had to come back and find this one after our amazing wedding ceremony in this spot on Saturday ️️
Came here yesterday only to find a wedding set up for a beautiful sunset wedding. We looked for a couple of minutes then guests started arriving so we bailed. We came back today with a lot less muggle action and had a good hunt around but unfortunately still came up empty handed. Think this one is gone . TFTC
We had a really good look around today but couldn't find it. Thinking it's not here anymore 
Go for the hit... And be a explorer...
Great day to discover the beautiful Raglan

Took a wee while to get our hands on it, but it was so nice here, that I didn't mind! tftc
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... On the trail of further PWGT caches and anything else along our pathway.
A surfer boy was parked almost on top of ground zone. He asked if we were geocaching. When we confirmed, he told us we weren’t supposed to tell him because he is a muggle... Someone knows a thing of two about caching! This one was well hidden. Thanks Butterfly_lady & RadioNut50 anc TFTC.

Left my wife basking on a bench overlooking the bays. Did a little wander then relied heavily on the hint. The reserves along this coast are well appointed. This wasn't going to be a geocaching day however a lot of the places we stopped at for scenic views strangely had caches. TFTC.
Finally able to log this one as sound splash fence was up yesterday. Easy find. Good hint. Tftc
What a stunning location and the sounds of the crashing waves below make it a magical setting. Well gidden but quite public so stealth is required! Great hiding as it blends well . Thanks for the find
I came down to do some caching with nufrat today. While searching for the cache, I lost my glasses. I realized this when I got back to the car and returned to make a second find at GZ. TFTC.
