Denbigh’s Stockyards (Manawatu) Aorangi, North Island, New Zealand
By Iarekt on 01-Oct-09. Waypoint GC1ZA3H

Didn't find this one.
Seagnoid had found this earlier this year, but as we approached GZ he commented that the whole frng has been muggled (along with the cache)

the whole frng has been muggled (along with the cache)

Unfortunately the cache has been muggled but we won’t be replacing it since we’re about to move and archive all our caches anyway. Hopefully a local will put another cache nearby

Looked all around for our tiny friend and couldn't find him anywhere. There was no seats near GZ but there was evidence that there had been one there, and the gardens are all looking newly planted. We're wondering if there has been recent renovations here? Sad to leave this one, as I doubt I'll be back in New Zealand for a long time!

Oh ok.... Nano is really small. Glad to have found. Roll of paper full up.

Looked around, couldn't find it.

log is full but squeezed in our visit. found on sale day without too much trouble

Found today on a tour of Manawatu. TFTC.

TFTC. Log book is very full.

just going for a walk just seeing if it is still there

Quick easy find and some interesting history, but yes, the log book is full , TFTC

Log book full. tftc

Nothing to write on

Log book is full.

Tftc, log full

Found easily because of the hint (which was good, because rain came up). Thank you for hiding and greetings from Germany

Second attempt at this, first thaughted by muggles painting the adjacent cafe just prior to its opening. Found straight away.

Some sale yard alright. TFTC

found it, nicely hidden, but log may need to be updated with a new one

These stockyards have been around for a while! Biggest ones we've ever seen too. Nice easy find of the cache, thanks.

Read about the saleyards and spotted the name of the town was Feilding (German) and not Fielding (English). TFTC ds8300

Driving through on our way North, we wanted to get a smiley to show where we had been. Nice quick find, signed A+ L to save space. TFTC

On our way back to Auckland from Wellington (with a night in Palmerston North), we made a quick stop to grab this cache on the way. TFTC.

Quick find. Mini cacher was a little perturbed by the ambient smell!

TFTC

Busy place at lunch today, but a quick find after a seat. TFTC

Found this afternoon. Smallest cache we have seen! Tiny!

Nearly lost my GPSr here. Warning to others, if you drop yours or a phone, it will probably be snatched up within seconds! I got my back though. TFTC

#2662. Quiet at GZ for a quick find. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Smallest one I've found. Took missy98. This wasn't the date found but was awhile back.

So the only writing tool in the car was a sharpie. The black scrawl with today's date is mine. I tried to keep things small at the price of clarity. Great hide in my home town. Cheers

Super quick find & a nice sit down after Santa parade TFTC

Sorry Ceeg but we found it on the first try Awesome wee hidy

Found with Holden _Chick using C:geo Android

Found with ronwestnz. Easy find.

easy find TFTC

Amazing stock yards. A quick find.
TFTC

#2572. Very impressive saleyards. A muggle sitting in a car seemed quite interested in what we were doing, but we managed to find the cache OK and log our find. TFTC.

A successful find on Market day. The stockyard was a hive of activity, cafe busy and streets full of people. Thanks for the cache

Really interesting history here, and very modern looking facility today. Great place for a cache. TFTC

Cute! So little

I was the 1st to write on the new roll of paper... I thought for a moment I might be FTF, lol, no such luck.
Found it quite fascinating to watch the stock, lol, I'm obviously more of a city girl than I thought as this was the 1st time I've seen a stockyard in real life.

Replaced the full log, happy caching!

This sneeky little nano cache was a delight to find on a family day out. Surprised it wasn't disturbed by the recent garden maintenance

My first micro cache. Didn't know what to expect, but managed to find it! Log book full.

this is the smallest one we have found yet!!!! So cool but the log book full.

Wow i never seen such a little cache!!!

The log is completely full and needs to be replaced.

A quick find this evening. Thanks for bringing me to this interesting spot. I had trouble signing the log as it is completely full and needs to be replaced. TFTC

We checked the clue all over. Doesnt appear to be there. Wonder if its fallen off

A tricky little cache. Had to look carefully to find this one.

Fairly quick find as we whipped through town. Cheers Gav [9393]

A quick find - but the log book was full. TFTC.

Neat little cache. Found this after a visit to fielding steam rail. Someone needs to replace note paper as it is all used up. Well done to little Emma (5) for tracking this one down

Only been doing this for a while and this is the smallest cache i have seen. Amaized at how small people are making these.

TFTC

Checked in on the stockyards...someone had moved it around a bit, so had the dogs round it back up to where it should have been.

Hoping to introduce family to geocaching this easter weekend however this was no where to be seen in the spot where we found it last or anywhere near?

My first cache!
Easy find.
Could do with a new log.

Easy find if you know what to look for. Our first cache of the day while returning home from holidays. Thanks.

I did not expect to see stockyards here; aren't they normally on the outskirts of towns? TFTC.

Stopped for icecreams here in the shade. Eight of us and we could not find it.

Had a good look but couldn't find !?

A relatively easy find in the end and a nice place to sit and log the visit.

Quick find. TFTC

Found the seat and the cache.No muggles around.Thanks.

12.46pm. Interesting piece if local history.
Thanks for bringing us here.

A nice little cache while in fielding

Found it on my second visit, assisted by a very helpful log entry that told me where to sit while I lookerd GPS coords took me to the same spot as last time (several months ago) which turned out to be within a metre ... My first nano, no wonder I couldn't find it the first time, I'd never seen such a tiny cache before Win !

Front of the log sheet was full so I made the first scribble on the back. T!!!FTC

Found the location via the GPS, but the cache was on the other seat, around 30 metres away, they must have been swapped at some stage...worked it out though. Left it where we found it.

Had to wait for a few muggles to move away. Mrs Kenny loved the silhouette.
TFTC

found with no prob getting used to these little tricky ones.

found it, had a little rest while out for a walk

Impressive area, Quick find, TFTC

Sitting on the seat signing the log when a farmer sat down next to me on my right with his coffee. Able to put cache back while chatting to him. TFTC

Found on a sunny Sunday afternoon while on a caching spree for today. TFTC

Cunning hide. Thanks

TFTC

My 2nd TRUE micro. Somehow put my hand straight on it! Great little town which I visit 8 times a year (school holiday handovers) so had my 3 boys with me... good fun. Find 3 of 11 for today!

Interesting spot and a quick find.
TFTC

Sit down a relax, you'll find it

Nice area, soon located the cache. SL TFTC

Quick find. TFTC

Replaced the log as it was full.

quick and easy and nice to have a quiet rest. no stock here today

This was my first geocache - very enjoyable and easy find TFTC!

An easy find, thanks. Log strip is full, so I wrote my name on a separate small strip of paper.TFTC

very familiar with the type of clue and the style cache so easy find. A Previous finder said 'it' had been shifted ...no doubt this had happened again due to our hot sunny weather I guess.

nice easy find smelt like a rotting carcase under the tree next to cache needed to get away quickly. could'nt sign log there wasn't any space left on the paper strip.
TFTC

Took a rest here after reading about the saleyards history. Very interesting.
Thanks

Logbbok is full, managed to find a spot to write my name needs replacement, Thanks

Managed to grab this one while I was in Feilding for work, nice spot for a cache, easy find today, no muggles at the time I was there, TFTC TNLNSL (1660)

good fun
this been my first nano i think it was a good one to start with - tftc

Log is full, but got TWS in on it.

TFTC

Current log full, new log needed.

Easy find ... pretty much where I expected it would be.
TFTC.

By the way, the log is now full.

We checked on it last night and it's still there. Please don't forget to be stealthy

Grabbed this one whilst the Fairy half went for a pitstop.. Interesting location and loved the silouhette ...
Thanks for the cache...

No joy. Thought it had gone when a certain something obvious got moved, but the cache owner has since visited and assures me that it's still there. Aaaargh, this is going to prey on me ! I will *NOT* drive from Auckland to Fielding and back just to find one micro that we missed last time !! Seriously !!! I was joking when I asked the omniscient cache-bloodhound teen 1 if he'd be up for a long caching weekend, honestly !!!!!!!

(just as long as no-one finds Stockman's Trail in the next few days)
