The new railing means I can't re-hide the cache here so I will free this area for someone else to place a cahce

Due to bridge maintenance over the next few months this cache has been removed. I will eplace it once the work has been completed.

Great view. Needs maintenance bridge works due to start which will remove walkways

Have replaced logbook, and tin. Last of old one was, ah, seen spinning off into space... long story short, it's worth *looking* for cache instead of *feeling* for cache. Cheers from Team Bearsleys. Grateful for a nearby hardware shop a minutes drive away!

Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.

Hard to take out on a busy Saturday morning.
 
05-Sep-13
Took a unicycle ride down to check on this cache. It was missing!
Had taken a replacement in my pocket, so good to go.
Added a marriage TB, hopefully to be picked up by the owner.
 
05-Aug-13
A quick find on a sunny afternoon bike ride through Cambridge. Absolutely brilliant view of the Waikato. On a personal note, looking for this cache led me past the Cornish Pasty Shop, where I met someone from my hometown! If you haven't ever tried one, there's nothing better than a proper Cornish pasty made by a proper Cornishman. T4TC

Scary height. I zipped everything I owned up for fear of seeing it disappear into the tide. Thanks to the hint we could stealthily find and retrieve as there was lots of vehicles and foot traffic. The lid to the container has disappeared and I had horrible visions of the log floating out to sea. VERY CAREFULLY replaced. TFTC

14-Apr-13
Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We spent the weekend down in Cambridge and collected a few caches in between other activities. After going on a kayak trip to see the glow worm canyon off Lake Karapiro, we returned to Cambridge for dinner and then drove around picking up a few easy drive-by caches at night. A nice quick find with no one else on the bridge. Thanks for the cache!

Woo-hoo! Cache #600 for me! Big Grin And I couldn't have picked a more scary one! I've driven over the bridge many times, but never walked it before, and don't plan on walking it ever again! Wink Container is pretty rusty, lid has snapped off hinge, but logbook dry. TFTC and for scaring me!

Drove a friend to Hamilton so she could buy a car. Caching on the way home to Rotorua.

Had this one earmarked for today. Parked in the little side street and walked out. Surprised a fat pigeon roosting below. Nice view overlooking the Waikato. TFTC.
 
22-Oct-12
Took longer to find than it should have as we originally searched on the wrong side, guess we should have read the clue [xx(]. TFTC
 
01-Sep-12
Neat hiding place. Cache container in poor condition. Needs replacing soon.
 
25-Aug-12
Our first one on a fine nearly spring day in Cambridge. Couldn't find first time round, so did other locals, then read the clue and returned. In caterpillar and 5cent coin, out grape wine glass marker.
 
09-Aug-12
Parked and walked for this once across a very high bridge teaming with muggles waking, on bikes and in cars. Was able to easily retrieve the cache and sign the log, TNTN, TFTC, Great river!
 
28-Jul-12
An enjoyable stroll over the bridge on a cool (but sunny) winter's morning. A nice view of the river from here; TFTC.

23-Jun-12
11:30 PM. Just came back from the All Blacks vs Ireland game in Hamilton and staying in a motel for the night. Took the dog for a short walk as she's spent most of the afternoon and all evening in the car. Quick find once I was on the right side. It was funny to see the dog squat low and try and leave the place ASAP: she hates bridges! TFTC

21-Oct-11
Wandered down here after lunch at Scott's Cafe in Leamington (great coffee) and tried not to look suspicious while we were locating the GC. Found it after a couple of minutes & signed log. TFTC
 
19-Oct-11
Find #850. The 17th cache, and the last in Cambridge - we really needed to get back on the highway to head back to Wellington, since it was already midday!

We arrived at this cache on foot, coming from the track in Lola Silcock Park behind the library. Reading the past logs, we wandered onto the bridge instead of trying to look under it. LOTS and LOTS of traffic. Very hard not to look suspicious, so it was really more of a feel-your-way to the cache. We got it eventually. A really fantastic old structure. Great views. SL TFTC.
 
15-Oct-11
Hmmm, Helps to read directions properly, Because, it wasn't on the supports, When I thought it was, Pointless and long trek back and forth between the supports, Just to realize, I should look on TOP of the bridge! TFTC
 
17-Sep-11
went under instead of over untill I got thinking cap on and looked at other logs Great view TFTC
 
14-Aug-11
A quick find during a brief cache hunt in the area while driving back to Wellington. Really nice old bridge! Signed log, TFTC.

Had so many DNF`s in Cambridge, I decided to end it all and jump off the nearest bridge. As I was about to I stumbled upon this cache, thusly restoring my faith and convincing me to keep caching. Thanks geo-caching, another life saved. Smile
