Thanks for your amazing cache tryfin . I really appreciate the time you took to set up and to maintain your amazing caches. Found with Fisha1288. Cheers, Cympull
On the way home and another one in this series. Enjoy reading about the railway now gone in this area. It was a big part of the communities TFTC
Nice park and grab tho GPS went down but had an idea what I was looking for.Thanks for the placement.
Heading to Tauranga for a weekend away. Quick stop here to pick up a cache along the way. TFTC 
SideTracked find 234Nice to have a quick find after a DNF. After finding this I went to the nearby cafe, Orchard House, for a coffee. Just a coffee. The cakes, scones, etc were all too big for me. TFTC tryfyn.
A nice quick park and grab on a quiet morning with no muggles around.The cache was quickly spotted and the log signed.Thanks for this very interesting and educational series, we have already found a few of them and look forward to finding more.
Camping at Tuapiro Point so decided to grab a couple of caches on the way to Katikati. A nice quick find. TFTC
With Gap (of Fap and Gap)… On the hunt for caches to complete a couple of challenges. Desperation has forced us to travel widely with rain as a constant threat.
This was a quick find. The cache was certainly more obvious than evidence of the former Tahawai Station. Thanks tryfyn for the on going railway history. TFTC.

Located this one while on a journey northward from Mt Maunganui - thanks for the the historical information and for getting me side tracked!
Another one to side track me on way to collect my passengers from the airport. TFTC
Headed down this way for some RnR with Mrs stik-a-crane and junior cacher, staying at nearby Waihi Beach..... spotted this group of caches placed in this reserve, so decided for a little stroll.....an awesome spot....warm clear water, no one around, accept a few dog walkers and the odd horse exercising.....
Had to grab the few along the road on the way back to Waihi Beach....
The cache was all good.

After a few months of no caching due to other commitments have a day today for ME TIME!! Awesome to be back in the saddle ( so to speak)) again.
Nice quick park and grab.
I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

After the event at the Mt this morning, I am heading back North, and made the short diversion down this side road to come and find this cache. All good here, cheers

We often get sidetracked, but this time the sidetracked cache was planned...
Quick find and some more history lessons to keep us informed.
Thanks!

Quick divert on our way home from a day trip to Auckland. No problem with the find TFTC.
Thanks Tryfyn I enjoy. Your Side track seriesI am sure it triggers memories of my pastwhen my parents used to pack me up as 8 year old and send me to Papakura for the school holidays to stay with my Aunty ...lol a big adventure for me...the cache was all good and a straight forward find..many thanks for the placement
We had to do some cache maintenance up the line a bit and included finding a couple of caches on the way there and back. It was very pleasing to find this cache. The road in to Tuapiro Point is busy today, and orchardists were busy with maintenance nearby. It's hard to believe that there was a busy railway here once. Way back before kiwifruit became so popular. Thanks for the placement, tryfyn.
Thankyou for another one in this very interesting series
It certainly won't get wet inside 3 containers!
Greeted by giant cicada and it's friends!

Nice #FTF# on our way to Waihi Beach. Surprised it hadnt been found yet. Spotted the cool camo as we walked up to it & got attacked by the local cicada. A bit rainy but you gotta do it. Tftc
A little wet, but when there is a possible FTF, the rain doesn’t matter. On our way to Waihi beach stopped and got this cache. Cool camo. Tftc
