TIME FOR SOME FUN (Bay of Plenty) Welcome Bay, North Island, New Zealand

Done

Fun to reminisce about all the caches I've found in this park over the years - and it's also worth noting this has been one of the better ones. Once I had all the numbers I needed the cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to a straight forward placement and excellent coords. I hope this one lasts as it's size will eventually lead to muggling given the area it's in. Cheers mat7pirate, TFTC

A great little multi. Once the co-ords conversion was done it was a super quick find. What a great sized container - you don't see many big containers anymore - so for that, it definitely deserves a favourite point. TFTC

Great multi and a nice cache my grandkids would have loved it and the swag in the cache. Arrived and did the sums and then lucky enough to have an app to do the conversion. Not a lot of activity happening here now with the tennis and it is very quiet and helped with the find TFTC

I did have some fun solving this multi.....I am amazed that it can be solved from sitting looking at a computer..1/ the combination lock is not visible 2/ not sure how you can count the rings ...the rest of the questions I could do ...a nice multi with a nice solve and conversion led to a fast find ...cache all good and dry ...thanks Mat7pirate for the cache

Out while theres a break in the weather.

Found 4.30pm
Been to this location for a previous cache a couple of years ago. Had solved on board with and with limited time going home cut through to GZ. Quick find with prickles not too bad, now a dash for home. SLTFTC

A great multi and obviously has been altered to stop the arm chair solvers. Well done mat7pirate. I liked the twist of the use of a different co-ordinate notation to add to the difficulty. Very well done. I suspect we might be the first to have to work out the co-ordinates on site. Great large container, which was nice and dry and in good condition. I hope this lasts as its a good fun cache to do. Thanks for setting up this multi mat7pirate

Saw this come up last night but I knew there wasn't much point racing over for the first-to-find as other cachers are much closer. So just solved what was needed and came over at a more convenient time. So Mr Tennis Ball has retired, mmm? Nice large cache. Good to see new cachers trying their hand. TFTC.

{FTF} @10:30.
Saw the notification come in and quickly set to task on the solve in the warmth of my living room.
Coords looked plausible on the map. I resisted initially to go for the find, but it was so close and temptation got the better of me so two minutes later I had a warm jacket on, found my torch and the was dog in the car.
Down the road, around the corner and I had the log signed for the quickest FTF multi I have ever found, with no competition for once.
Well done on this multi.
Tftc.

Congrats TNXPro, you had competition from a distance, bet me by 20 minutes, cuz it took me that long to drive out there with all the red lights. Almost didn't need to solve the multi to find this as I know the area well. I solved it from the comfort of my warm house. Knowing TNXPro was probably already there I went just to see if it was too cold a evening for him to venture out. Not sure how long the hide will stay hidden, and the DT seems off. TFTC and the race
