St Georges Trail 1 Hastings, North Island, New Zealand

Easy to find

Last one along here, time to head for a shower and feed. Took a while to find, until I opened my eyes!First morning here and headed out before breakfast for a few finds. Nice to be out before it hrats up too much, and the school/work traffic increases.After a few weeks in Penang, Malaysia I'm back home and keen for a few days off away with mrs c. I'd booked the work bach prior to heading away so a 3 night break in Havelock North was appealing. Not a huge cache-fest, I'd decided to forego the Mega in Dunedin, but still nice to move around and pick off a few here and there. The weather was awesome, similar temperatures to South East Asia, but without the humidity. Thanks to all COs for their hides and maintenance.

A quick find. All good with the cache. Thanks

Yay

Found thanks

Today's plan is to spend some time in the Hastings area seeing what we can find. No problems here here. TFTC

Thanks great hide

It's December, and to help me achieve one of my Geocaching goals I need to log 300+ caches this month, which means an average of ten a day. I started off well, but had a glitch in the middle which has left me behind on my target. However, I left home a couple of days ago and cached my way up through the Wairarapa to Napier (here for a concert tonight). After two very successful days, I started today with only ten caches left to find to meet my goal. Well, I made it to my target of 300. Now to collect a few extras, just in case, or just cos. --- Thanks to mrBmrsP for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

This is my fourth geocaching excursion to **beautiful New Zealand**!
Due to Covid [xx(] I had to wait for 3 long years to again return to my beloved [:X] Middle-Earth.
This time its a road trip enduring for 26 days, covering both North- and South-Island.
Today was dedicated to collect some smileys in order to complete two challenges :
1. **'NZ 400 minutes longitude challenge'** (https://coord.info/GC7YQZ8)
2. **'"Don't Leave Home" NZ Counties Challenge'** (https://coord.info/GC9C4M0)
This geo-treasure contributed to the mission and to the finds of today. Cool! [^]
Visited some caches along the St Georges trail to collect counts for Hawkes Bay .
This one is completely drowned . Managed to sign, but for sure something should be done here .
Anyway, a big thanks to the owners bchefj&p [:X] for hiding and maintaining this cache [^] - and best regards from Germany !

Nice easy park and find. Found with cache_u_later

Thanks for the great hide. The snails are enjoying it too.

Tftc

It probably doesn’t help that we’re new to this, but left without a find. Could do with some more hints? Lol, cheers.

Quick easy find.TFTC

First time completing a geocache it’s in an awkward place but now I know what to look for.

Last one before we head off or we will be here for another day! The log is manky but writeable. Thanks for bringing us here.

Nice easy find here log book is showing its age.
Otherwise the cache is good many thanks for your trail

Another nice easy find this afternoon, certainly enjoying my bike ride along here, TFTC

Quickest find so far despite GPS wanting to take me far away

Cool spot in the orchard. Hawkes bay is a great place to visit a few wineries. Thanks for the great find.

Had an hour spare to cache, spotted this trail and went for it!
Allok here
Thanks !!

Thank you

Found it , thanks

That aight

Another Trail cache logged at last, we have been saving up for our Climb the Peaks game. Found on our trip to Hawkes Bay gathering cache points. Getting late and only have time for a few on this trail, we enjoyed these hides. TFTC.

Coords a little out for us so makes us wonder if we missed some of the last ones. Not to worry, we found this one and that's great. The walkway nearby looks good for another day. Tftc

Yes, found!! TFTC.

Over the last 3 days I've been visiting the Hawkes Bay a visit to catch up with a mate recently moved that way, but all good times must come to and end and today was the long drive home to the Horowhenua.

I was last here just over a year ago, and at that time did the Weird n Wacky trail. Today I thought I'd give the bigger St Georges power trail a go. It was definitely a game of two halves. The numbers 11 through to 18 proved to be no trouble at all, whilst 1 to 9 had more DNFs than finds!

This was one of the rare finds on this side of Havelock Rd. I found the co-ords were slightly off for me on this one, but a quick find here nonetheless. Encountering no issues here with either the Cache or the Logsheet, the logging etiquette was soon dealt with and everything replaced as found.

Thanks for setting this cache up.

A nice easy find here.

Another easy find. TFTC

Easy find tftc

Quick grab here. Thanks

??????

Quick find. Now off to coffee! TFTC.

Easy find. Log was pretty damp. Cheers

Thanks for the easy find. Helps to have small arms. 1st of the day.

#12,322. Park and grab on Saint Georges Road in Pukahu, Hawke's Bay. Fortunately, GZ was all quiet at the time of our visit. Quick find. The cache was in good condition. Although the log was a little damp, it was still good to write on. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the placement, and for bringing us to this site, and …

Unfortunately didn’t find this one would of been a cool way to finish the day

Having completed the Weird 'n' Wacky cache series we were keen to complete this one also. Nice quick find on this one. We are remembering to collect the codes for the bonus. TFTC

the last in this direction of ST George's caches but the log is very full and rather damp '

i was spending a few day in hastings visiting friends and geo caching around hastings and set out early to locate some of the cache around about here before going on the St george's trail .
thank you for these caches and i took nothing and left nothing at them all.

Found but leads you astray with GPS

found it

A quick find I thought I would see how many I could get before it got too dark (not many as it turns out). I went on a road trip following the "Mega that wasn't" in Auckland over Labour weekend. TFTC.

Today we decided to do all the geocaches in St georges road. Hopefully we will find them all. Quick find with this one.

Lots of traffic about but managed to retrieve cache quickly, sign and return before looking too out of place.

Started this series in the late afternoon. T4tc

cool way to end the days hunting

After a couple of DNFs, it was pleasing to track down this cache without difficulty.

One of quite a few that we collected as we explored the region. Found with bkj97. T4tcsl Apologies for repetitive logs.

Having zoomed through the Wacky trail to the south we decided we still had time before dinner to nab a few of the st George trail. We allocated 2 mins to each stop as it looked like rain would interrupt play. Found with little blue hen. Tftcsl

TFTC! Second time looking thought it was across the road nice easy find for beginners.

I have a 3 month sabbatical mostly traveling around the planet. My goal is to find and log 1000 caches. New Zealand is my 4th station traveling from south Christchurch to north Auckland, my first visit here, its far away. This is my sabbatical-cache #847.

Found by kids

Visiting relatives in the area, found before starting a walk along the riverbank.
Thank you for the cache!

Signed and logged. Thanks for the series.

Out with cousin looking at Havelock North

Enjoyed singing to the sheep nearby. TFTC

Loved the lulling sound of the nearby sheep!

Quick ride out on the electric bike . Nice to be on on the bike trails around here.

Today we hired a bike for a tour around Hastings. There are some trails we want to do so off we go.
We found most of the caches in good condition, a few could need a little maintenance. And we must come back one more time, because we missed a few.
To all the CO’s, thanks for hiding and maintaining the caches.

Have been eyeing up this series for a while. Today passing through on our way home to Gisborne and had some spare time. Managed to find 18 with 2 DNFs. Will plan to return. Thanks for set this up. Easy one to start with.

I found the co ords to be slightly out but widening the search I soon had the prize in hand.

TFTC

I'm sorry I am very behind in my logs having recently lost a finger which makes typing very painful. Apologies as my logs won't be as complete as usual.

On a weekend to Napier with Bennett24 came and looked for quite a few caches and this was one of them. We did all of this series and I can't remember too much about them - too much tramadol maybe. Good fun doing the series.

Thanks for the cache. I'm sorry about the cut and paste logs but hand is getting super sore.
