TFTC !!This was a very fun cache. It was nice to walk through the lush bush. Thanks again.

On a north island roadie we decided to visit Raglan for a couple of nights.A nice walk to gz and a quick find.TFTC

On a cache maintenance trip today in sunny Raglan. We noted a variety of recent logs here showing the box has had some movement. The cache was close to the last place we put it, and matching the hint very well, so we popped in a new box with clean, dry swaps and log for the next finder.

It was on a rock

It was fairly out in the open, so we covered it up to make it less conspicuous

Jasper found it on accident.

Pretty easy find. TFTC

Another excuse for a quick rest. Gosh there are a lot of different ways/ paths to take! Lovely bit of bush & memorials. TFTC

Found it! box was full of water though.

Found it, box was full of water though. Someone didn't close the zip lock bag, and the log book is completely ruined

found this one with flossieteacake. also found a rather scary looking spider that was making itself at home on the cache when i went to grab it. TFTC

Our last cache of the morning, on our way back to our accommodation. A fairly easy find, but GeohoundandI screamed and threw the cache at me when a massive spider crawled on her.

Awesome cache

Thanks for bringing us to this lovely bush walk. Found as described. We look forward to exploring more walks another time. Another favourite added.

A little soggy. Left some magnets!

Nice hiding spot

Nice spot

Great hiding spot!

It was at the end of my caching spree that I wandered through Wainui Bush to find these caches. I haven't been well and so couldn't spend time exploring this reserve more thoroughly. Thanks for the cache Butterfly_lady .

Nice little bush walk.tftc

A trip to Raglan to drop off M14 his toothbrush and things at camp Raglan. A good reason to search a couple of caches. I past by this little bush many times. Let’s have a look and find the two present caches today. That’s a big stone, searched around it and found the cache.
Thanks for hiding.

Kids had fun

A nice hidden cache found on a peaceful walk. TFTC

Took a while but with a bit of rummaging we found it, cheers.

After a DNF in the carpark we decided on a short walk to this one to make it up. On our way we came across some ametures filming a movie with a drone…hated disturbing them again on the way back but we didn’t have time to complete the loop today so oh well. TFTC

Fun little catch! Took a little digging around but we found it

Bei einem Spaziergang gut gefunden, danke für den Hint - die Koordinaten sind daneben, 20m.
Grüße aus Deutschland
Well found on a walk, thanks for the hint - the coordinates are next to it, 20m. Greetings from Germany.

There was a quite old logbook which was still dry. But the cache container is certainly not 450ml. I would estimate something less than 200ml.
Cheers, elbnixen

TFTC! Log book is soaked so couldn't write in it.

Quickly found

Díky za kes na procházce Raglanem

Found it hid it well, good luck

Good find

What a beautiful place.
We really enjoyed exploring the trails and reading some of the plaques.
Once at GZ we initially looked in slightly the wrong place but soon realised our mistake and then spotted the cache quickly.
Although concealed from muggle eyes it was still a bit exposed so we made sure to cover it with some natural camo.
Thanks for the cache and for bringing us to this peaceful place.

Found with Geo-Goober

Weekend in raglan, easy find. TFTC

Great spot.

Great walk in
& easy once we found Peter.TFTC

Out for a day trip to Raglan for our first wedding anniversary. We had our ceremony at the Wainui reserve so great way to commemorate the day. Have hidden it well again TFTC

Great little adventure

Good easy find. Thanks

Great little cache! Just the right amount of searching, well packed and organised. Such a nice little find.

The tree has been trimmed back so does not hide the cache well any more, and someone has put the cache in a new spot around a metre from the original.
A new box, with clean and dry contents has been put in place, and covered better.
The move was insufficient for a waypoint change, but the hint has been changed appropriately.

Found it

#707. 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.

A nice little bush walk we did not know about.

After the recent wet weather, the log in here is soaked and mushy. I did have a scrap of paper in my wallet, so signed and left that.

TFTH

Down on holiday with kids on this very wet day. Ran through the showers to get this one. GZ quick to get to and cache also located quickly. Signed and replaced. Tftc

really awesome rock tyftc

I was wonder who Peter is...
Lovely autumn on the reserve.
TFTC

Wow this is truly a gem of a place.
So glad you are bringing us here....soon found Peter's rock and cache.Then had a wander round ; reading plaques and inscriptions.
A very peaceful place for remembering people....
Would love to return and take photos of the little bridges and meandering stream..
Favourite Point

Great bush reserve.
Pretty bridges.
Peter was soon located.

TFTC

After a nap in the car we looked at the map and tried to figure out which track was best. Thankfully it was a short walk as Mrs Taylana had twinged her neck and her knees were a little creaky (for a 36 year old lol). Heading a little off track and scrummaging around in the bush we finally spotted a little "natural" construction and aha! We found it. Log needs replacing as it was very damp and has no bag (our cache repair kit was out of stock atm - so couldn't fix it sorry) TFTC

Over in raglan for the day today and picking up a few caches. A lovely reserve here, TFTC

Fun one

What a lovely park- and beautiful walking tracks. Unfortunately the log is just a damp piece of paper- could really do with a better piece and a plastic bag. Unfortunately, we didn't have any with us. tftc

Tftc nice park!

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... On the trail of further PWGT caches and anything else along our pathway.

We found this hide in the open without a logbook. We signed a portion of an old receipt, then used the nearby natural materials to conceal this cache. A nice area for a walk. Thanks Butterfly_lady and RadioNut50 and TFTC.

Nice easy find after a pleasant walk. Nothing to sign and I wasn't carrying any paper. Picked up the 2 TBs

Nice to get out of the sun. Checking out caches on our holiday. Tftc

Nice walk through the trees to get this one tyfc

Beautiful walk and easy find

Quote a meander until we found Betty! TFTC

I came down to do some caching with nufrat today. It seemed a lot closer, but I guess it depends on where you measure from. TFTC.

Finally

What a lovely spot to hide a cache, Found today with Flowerydaze who spotted this quickly at the hint object. Tftc

Talla64 and I had a very pleasant walk through this lovely bush. It's always a bonus to find a good sized cache. A bit of water in the container but the log was good and dry. I removed the chocolate bars for disposal - geocaching guidelines advise against any type of food in a cache as it attracts insects/animals. Thank you so much for placing a cache here - well worth a visit.

Very nice

This one is just what I was looking for ....it unlocks part of the latest challenge Geocaching HQ are running... and helps to clear up the caches around Raglan.....

the cache is all good.

TFTC.

Let a button at this lovely little find x

Found a long way to the cache. All good here. With rustynz

Took a meandering journey to the cache with rebel98

It is a beautiful spring day, just lovely. Came over the stream, and spied the rock, then the tree, and finally the cache.

Thanks for the hide Butterfly_lady with RadioNut50, loved the location, and we found the short cut back to the car

Found

Nice easy find with Vistra who did this cache a few years ago.

I followed Betty all the way till Peter. TFTC

Lovely walk. Nice easy find.

have passed here but never stopped, today was the day to find it, weather is still pretty good here, well thats at the start, now which way to go, down the track, another choice to make, go that way, no it seems that way might be better, lovely and quiet, just the sound of birds, now im in the right area, quick look here and there, no, look over that way, yes, found the nice size container but it was left open and mostly uncovered, the bag for the log book seems to have kept any rain out, now to head back, ended up going the way i was first heading on the way in, so there are 2 ways to get to this one, took tb, tftc

Peter has a tree 10m~ away so we were looking there before coming back to the rock and having a better look til we found something suspicious Thanks for bringing us here.

Are you at a cross road? If yes you are close.

Great find thank you!

We have gone down to Alert 3 in our Covid-19 lockdown, and Geocaching is now allowed, so time to re-enable the caches.

DISABLING THIS CACHE TO DISCOURAGE HUNTING DURING THE COVID-19 LOCK-DOWN. NEW LOGS AFTER TODAY MAY BE DELETED. THE CACHE WILL BE BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Trouvée facilement ! Effectivement la cache n’est pas positionnée juste par rapport à l’indice ! Elle est juste par rapport au GPS !

Been a while since visiting Raglan! This cache was fun and easy and definitely a good first one for my friend Oliver who has never done this before. Thanks for the cache!!

In Raglan for a few days and loving the opportunity to discover the interesting places via the caches here. Nice quick find in this lovely reserve. Cache is all good. Added some SWAG. TFTC

Our second cache for the day. The phone GPS was all over the place but we found the hint item and soon after, the cache. Not sure if the cache was in the right spot but replaced as found.

TFTC.

Lovely little easy walk

Thanks, great place to wander. Easy find.

Another cache on a trip to Raglan with Jag50 and Merlot58 - after a quick trip around the town itself we popped out here to grab a couple of extras including this one. We bypassed a lovely family scene where an all ages football match was going on and then shortly was at GZ.

After a quick search at the hint item the cache was found - nice size here. Thanks for the cache.

In Raglan for the day with Tuolei and Jag50. After a nice walk to gz we soon found Peter and shortly after we found the cache

Out on a road trip with Tuolei and Merlot58. Nice bush walk to this one passing a large family football game in the open green area. Once at gz the cache was soon located in the obvious spot.

GPS was a bit bouncy but between the 4 of us we found it pretty quickly. Here on a weekend away with beconaze TFTC

Here for the weekend with Gernita. Cache quickly located signed and returned. Very nice walk and surroundings here

#544 and 3rd find of the day. Quaint little park. The memorial stone is a bit obscure, but the memorial stick is more visible. Nice healthy Kauri too. TFTC

Found with NeilsonFamNZ while visiting his greatgrandmother who lives next door. Found with NeilsonFamNZ strapped to me

Great spot while visiting Raglan on a day trip. TFTC
