Not so easy when you're on the wrong side of the road, but spun around, landed in the metal piles and found another barrier cache but this one was far better than any other!! Smile Wish they were all as fun as this one. TFTC.

Nice and easy find as we flew past on the way home. Time to head back already, time flies fast when you're the driver of a train.

It's go home day as all good things must come to an end. We had intentions to travel the Napier-Taupo Road and stagger the way North via Te Awamutu, and only stop a couple of times, and so it was, just the 5 finds.

It's that time of year again when we try and get out there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and my birthday the next day. This time we matched it up with a trip to Whanganui to see our daughter and the ever changing/developing granddaughter Kaiah. After the weekend with them we headed to Hawkes Bay for a 4 day stay in Havelock North which started off with rain but fined up nicely and finished the week well. A good break from home and plenty done and seen (as usual). Not huge numbers of finds but 22 adventure labs, the 4 TMGTs in Napier, a couple more CANZ caches and a few Virtuals as well as some other treats, T F T C to all COs.
 
30-Oct-20
A cool camo on this cache and a quick easy find on my way over the hill. I went on a road trip following the "Mega that wasn't" in Auckland over Labour weekend. TFTC.
 
04-Oct-20
Ha ha ha. Love the cache protector.
Jude_E, NosyNel and I are continuing on our figure of 8 tour of the North Island collecting the ‘Tour’ caches, plus others, plus seeing the scenery, plus having a good old time. TFTC.
 
04-Oct-20
That was a neat one and appropriately named. I am on a North Island Figure of Eight tour. For the first 4 days I spend time in the Bay of Plenty with my husband JDScout in Rotorua. Now I am on part two of the eight loop going over to New Plymouth. This part is being done with my good friends Ethness and Jude_E.
Thanks bchefj&p for creating this hide. It was find 9012 for me.

======== NZ Mega 2021 ========
Planning for the NZ Mega 2021 event is well underway. It will be held in Auckland over Labour Weekend, October 2021
 
04-Oct-20
Travelling from Napier to Taupo today with Nosynel and Ethness. Our goal is to find all the TMGT caches in a big figure 8 across the centre of the North Island. We plan on stopping from time to time to find the odd cache. Glad that wasn't real! Tftc.

22-Aug-20
Another quick and easy find to keep things ticking over.
 
12-Aug-20
Inclement day for caching but couldn't go past this one without recording our rendezvous. Tricky little bug....ger, but we found him, signed him and put him back to hibernate, tftc.
 
05-Aug-20
Off to Napier for a couple of days, so we picked up most of the caches on this road on the way down there, including this one. Thanks to the previous logger for the extra log paper, TFTC Smile
 
19-Jul-20
A quick stop as we headed home from a few days in Napier. Nice quick find here, although the real bug hiding inside the cache made us both jump! Log was pretty much full, we squeezed our name on the bottom but then put a new piece of paper in for the next people.

24-Nov-19
Off in my car and I happen to have rustynz and Rebel98 with me for this 2 day weekend. We plan to get Geotour caches in Whakatane, Gisborne, Tolaga Bay and Napier. A trip that would take 1401km returning through Taupo back to Auckland.

Rusty is calling out the caches as Rebel drives my car along this stretch of road, I sit in the back very relaxed when rusty said STOP... cache! Suddenly I'm not so relaxed anymore, time to evacuate from the car which rusty did before me and so I didn't need to bother.

I think what rusty meant was to turn this one not tour this one. Now off to see what was not for the faint hearted. Rusty was keen for this one!

Don't think my TV will fit lol. Fun find

We had been talking about cache bash in Napier for a while, and when Cats&Dragons mentioned a trip down here this weekend I couldn't say no. The plan was to head down Friday night (leaving Hamilton about 7pm) and then cache til we can then grab a few hours sleep and then cache through til late afternoon and then head home. The plan worked well, with about 110 caches found over the 24 hour caching period.

It was the first time we had visited Napier to do a caching mission, and we were both impressed with the genius hides (some we hadn't seen before, I'll give a special mention to those ones). A big thanks to all the CO's whose caches we found, for placing and maintaining them. A great trip and looking forward to a revisit.

A nice quick find but log is full tftc

Travelling from Napier to Matamata via Taupo today so only stopped for caches that were safe to do so depending on the traffic. Love the cache title and the no problems with the cache, thanks
 
03-Jan-19
Mean cache! I’m not normally squeamish but I did drop this at first!! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF TRAVELLING TOWARDS NAPIER. The bend is much too fast and there are obviously a few wannabe formula one drivers around here. SL TFTC

We liked the cache guardian. Thanks for the quick park n grab.

22333 Traveling through New Zealand to see nice people and places. Also to find some geocaches.

Today we moved from Napier to Taupo, seeing nice places and visiting caches along the road. Stopping at nice villages. Looking for caches on either side of the troad. Finaly we went down town in Taupo to see the city centre

Most caches were found quite quickly. A few took more time. Muggles did not watch what we were doing and had more interest in the surrounding views.

mrBmrsP TFTC and the fun it brought us. Theo

Today was a day for a one way road trip from Napier to Auckland. I flew across from Auckland to pick up our son's 'new' car after winning a Trademe auction on Monday. (Sunday I'll be starting another leg of the Auckland - Wellington - Picton - Nelson journey) Time to find a few caches along the way of course. Ah ha! Very cute. TFTC, Biggles.
