This one took longer then expected , got the job done in the end , tftc

love the custom cache, fits in well to its surroundings

Had trouble getting it out of the cache. I think I Saw it a few times first before I got it out

Nice quick park'n grab. Spotted immediately. Nice and creative.
Tftc

A little bit of a search before spotting it.

A nice quick park and grab. Tftc

Quick park & grab. Tftc

Nice quick park and grabWe also have replace the LogEmail CO Thanks last one for the day

Pick this one up on the way home
Email CO to say we replace the Log
So sign the Log and return to it place thanks

Quick park and grab. Loved the container. Log is full but we didn’t have anything that would fit this so will log maintenance. We did manage to squeeze our name on though. TFTC .

This cache needs a new log as current is full.

I found space but only just.

Dropped off one of our younger cachers nearby and couldn’t resist doing a cache while in the area. Located this one in quick time, was glad it wasn’t aside one of the paper wasp nests. Took some time to admire the view before pressing on. TFTC!!

PS - log is full

We were in the area climbing the Clevedon hill then thought we should go collect this cache near by. Quick find but the log is full so hopefully it can be replace soon for future cachers

The past few do not finds have been been tough but was very happy to find this one! And also introduced a muggle. TFTC! 41st find.

28.7.2021 =^•^= :3 :>

We parked up and Mr 12 had to bolt across the rd to find this one.
TFTC

Quick find with PhilBirdBoys after a visit to Hallertau. Log is full. TFTC.

Little worried as hadn’t been found for a while. Also some mad drivers driving way too fast along here. Log also full!! Not quite what we thought we were looking for, but winged it and C from CODEHill came up trumps. SL TFTC

Thanks for the great cache.

On an early morning caching mission, 2 of the clan hatched a plan to make an early morning trip north and to find enough caches to qualify for the Planetary Pursuit. Careful planning was made and we had a very enjoyable hunting out the caches. Thanks also go out to all the cache owners who have placed and maintained the caches.

It was just too hot at work so I left early and found this gorgeous wee cache on the way home. Couple of ducks enjoying a cool off in the stream.

Dear Cache Owners,
I am a German guy who stays in New Zealand for eight months.
My English is not perfect, so please don't wonder if my log entries sound a bit strange. Thanks!

----------

Today I made a Little tour in this area albeit the weather was not really good.
That one was funnily enough the quickest found today. The coordinates were on Point and my first idea was the right!
Thanks for hiding!

Found it on the way to the beach. Coordinates bang on. Nice little hide. All good at GZ. TFTC

Had to park and walk a bit back to the bridge. Had a casual look and didn't realise i'd actually looked straight at it. A couple of minutes later and the cache was soon in hand. The lid is fine. Definitely a favourite.

Found while out with ninn007. Cache closing device warn so care needed not to lose. TFTC.

Found with muggle daughter
TFTC

Looked for this one quite a while ago in our earlier days of caching and at night. Think we must have had the old phone then as we now now we were in the wrong place that time. Quick find today when we went to the correct place. As previous mentioned the top is loose but attached back as best we could. TFTC.

Geo senses must be off today. No luck but I’ll be back.

having the day off meant I wanted to go for a walk (and pick up a few caches along the way). it being a beautiful day dad decided he wanted to come with me - which meant I knew I'd get less caches that I'd originally planned so decided we should pick this one up on our way out to the beach. dad parked under the trees, and I wondered over to the bridge, quickly finding the cache. As the previous two people said - part of the cache container is missing, but the log is in good condition.

We parked near GZ and searched between gaps in the traffic.
It didn't take us long to spot the cache but, as the previous finder has said, part of the container is missing so some maintenance will be needed.
However the log was still nice and dry and we signed it with no problems and replaced it as best we could. TFTC.

Found but looks like the container has become damaged - will message the CO with the details. Part of the container rolled away not to be found so hopefully the bit left will be safe. Very sorry for my role in the damage. TFTC.

I was out for the day with Jag50 and Aiden29. We finished walking Clevedon Scenic Reserve earlier than expected so decided to pick up a few more caches. While Mr Jag waited in the car we walked back to the bridge and the clever camo didn't fool Mrs Jag for long

Merlot58, Aiden29 and ourselves headed out to the east again today to go and find some rural caches and catch up with Pazzabella and Geocchi to capture some caches in the Clevedon Reserve. After wards and after lunch we did a few drive buys.

Headed out this way to walk Clevedon Scenic Reserve with Merlot58, Jag50 and Pazzabella and Geocchi. We had finished earlier than we expected so we made plans to head to another area via this route. The camo didn't fool Mrs Jag for very long. Signed as JAM to save space.

I had a soccer match out at Te Puru soccer grounds in Beachlands today. And so I thought that I would do a loop through Clevedon and pick up a cache on the way. I actually tried another cache first, but had to give up on it as the traffic was too heavy (but I'll be back), and so that is how I came to be looking for this particular cache today. So initially I drove past the cache area and had to turn around to park closer. Once I did, I had to wait for a guy coming out of a nearby gate in his vehicle.. and so I made it look as if I had pulled over because I was on a phone call as my cover for being there. Anyway, once the coast was clear I went straight to GZ and soon had the cache in hand. I took it back to the car to fill out the log, and then once again when the coast was clear I put it back... no problem at all. However, once I jumped back in the car, some bird flying overhead took one of the most massive dumps on my windshield that I had to clean off before leaving. So cache found and football match completed. A great combo for an afternoon. So thank you WackyB once again, not only for this cache, but for all of the other ones you have set up as well. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so. TFTC.

out and about New Zealand with Red Roaming, unfortunately we don't have too many days left now. We are visiting friends in Howick and today we have decided to come to Clevedon, as I went to school in Clevedon in the UK!!!!. Logs signed DD & RR or with our full caching names
apologies for the lateness in my logging.
a nice hide. TFTC
the river is looking very overgrown

Easily found. Many thanks

Travelling around the world with Dartmoor Deliverer celebrating her taking early retirement!

NB Dont forget our Devon UK Mega 2017 GC6JZNY this August in the beautiful East Devon area of our county. UK Megas are over one week full of events and geocaching - a wonderful way to enjoy our county!

Clever camo. Amazing to see how high the river had come up after cyclone Debbie.

A quick find despite the good cammo. TFTC

Out and about this evening for a trip to walk geohound and decided to stop and grab this on our travels. It was a lovely evening to admire the view. Loved the camo. A surprise stop by Ministry of Fisheries stop near where I walked geohound in Clevedon on my detour home. TFTC

This was a very frustrating cache due to my phone GPS not moving. I walked back to the car to tell husband it was not going to happen when it decided to start working. Back I walked and walked and walked then voila a quick find in the end.

9.50am - This weekend was going to be all about cache numbers.
With a semi plan made the squirrel and I hit the roads around south Auckland.
Also along the way a few puzzles that we had solved we collected.
Also one puzzle with a starting point at certain address which we have passed numerous times we thought we could wing this and find it.
Much to our delight we got it. great haul of caches this weekend ,and some very interesting locations.
A couple of misses and with some areas cordoned off we missed a couple more.
All in all a successful weekend. SLTFTC

??

Having spent the morning at the Clevedon Farmer's Market I decided to take the scenic route home picking up a few caches along the way. Having a good think about the hint the cache was quickly found TFTC!

Nice easy park and grab.... alll intact

Creative cache - have been waiting to find a cache like this one for a while. First find of the day goes to Daniel! Tftc.

Last find of the day for alpenmich80 and myself. Started on the wrong side but once we swapped over had the cache in hand in no time. So proud of our efforts decided to celebrate with a drink at the local. TFTC

Last find of the day after a great day out geocache around Duder and the showground. We parked as close as possible near GZ to make the find upon our approach. TFTC

Found ... I'd been nearby at the Clevedon Sowgrounds cleaning up the remaining caches there & then having completed them, had decided that I should do some of the nearby caches surrounding Clevedon itself ... this cache easily found & quickly replaced ... like the cache/camo on this so gets a favourite point from me ... TN:LN:SL ... TFTC ... #1,281 for us.

This is a well executed camo thanks WackyB ! I was wandering over too slow and Ric beat me to this one ! Great job you have done here !

Hello, what is that???? Aha
and we were signing and on our way. Tftc

Very nice hide TFTC

Easy find. Tftc

Excellent find so clever and disguised tftc

Love these kind of caches thanks

Even though I knew we weren't FTF it was good to see a new log. Cows were super entertaining

Was going to attempt this one but with it being a weekend with lots of traffic about and as soon I stepped out of the car - a neighborhood watch dog started barking like crazy so gave it a miss... next time

V cool. Tftc.

Neat cammo.
Couldn't sign as log jam packed full.
Have photo as proof.
TFTC

TFTC haha I really liked this one. Nicely placed

Great find! I love these tricky little caches! Such fun!

Such a clever hide! And the sunset was beautiful!

Log is absolutely full & needs replacing. I signed on a piece of paper some one had rolled in with the existing log. It's nano size,

TFTC. What a nutty hide.........I like it.

watch traffic

: )

Out for the day picking up caches to satisfy the requirements for the GIO licence.

A quick find with Vamber and Metzgan.

Out with a few cachers today. Very crafty hide.

Called in on the way to the paintball event. Took a bit of looking but soon spotted some clever camo work. Thanks for the cache, very cool.

Drove out with KFNZ to grab a few hides in the area after a morning of paintballing with some other cachers nearby. Upon approach, we saw something out of place, and turns out our instinct was correct! Thanks for the quick drive-by! The afternoon turned out to be one of visiting many local bridges for caches!

After attending the Aftermath paintballing event we headed off with UncleSamNZ and Newlynfam to get some extra caches 'on the way' home.

I'm not quite sure how but I walked up to GZ and put my hand straight on the cache which was very cleverly camo'd. A favourite point from me.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Found after the event with keylev, UncleSamNZ and NewlynFam.

Thanks for the cache.

Up in Auckland for a spot of Paintball with some fellow Geocachers. I had a quick look for this one on the way to the paintball course but didn't have much time to have a decent look. After 3 hours of a EPIC paintball battle, and nursing a few wounds I couldn't drive past this cache without having another look. With time not a issue this time I let the GPS settle before it directed me straight to a nicely camoed cache.

Found enough of these to know it shouldn't belong, had to squeeze my name into the logbook as it's getting pretty full. Thanks for the neat hide.

Caching trip with UncleSam and keylev after a nearby event..... quick find, and nope, definitely not out of place!!!! Thanks for this cache, appreciate the camo

Found it. Very nicely camoed. Plz watch out for the cars when looking!

My kids and I are the worst catchers around!! So many we can't find!!!! Sorry

Cunning camo!!...TFTC

Love the work you put into this camo, well done, simple but effective, took me some time to see it.

Nice camo

quick easy grab,lots of traffic out today goin to the beach and boats goin fishing.

GPS took me to the wrong side of the road but the parents came and helped TFTC

Such a cool hiding place. Thanks

Found as part of hemaludy. TFTC :-]

This was the second time we hunted for this cache. First time, the GPS had us searching the wrong side of the road - and we searched very thoroughly. This time GPS pointed to the right side of the road and cache was exactly where the GPS pointed. Love the camo. TFTC

The last time I stopped to look for this one, I was on the other side. Today, I was in the right spot since the cache jumped right out at me. TFTC.

Nice hide tftc

Couldn't find this the first time we tried this one, out for a ride today and thought I'd give it another go and nailed it straight away! Tftc!

One of many caches found during our month long tour around the South and North Islands. I am on rations for caching but finding around 10 a day.

Thanks to all the cache hiders.

Today took us from Miranda to Whangarei. TFTC.

Another great cache. TFTC

Second find with the sister and again she overlooked it and u even gave her a head start this time. Tftc

Yah!!! was out Kawakawa Bay way this morning and knew this one had beaten us before, so thought I would have a quiet look again with sleepy junior cacher, who was now awake for this one.
Followed the GPS, as we did last time and saw the likely spot... and what would you know... it was.
We must have looked straight at this the first time round.

Great hide... Fav. awarded.
TFTC

Right where the gps said it would be

Very cool. Could be a quick find or one that does your head in thankfully for me a quick find

Heh, the very first thing I grabbed was the cache!

Thanks!

Close to the road so difficult to look for it.

Really nice cache

Really cool little cache.

Filling the afternoon caching and were on a roll until this one... spend our allocated time (15mins) and decided to call it a DNF as light was starting to fade.

Hate been beaten knowing your in the right spot... will be back!!!

Love a challenge...

I'm pretty sure I wasn't looking hard enough. Stumped on this one. Hate it when that happens.

Good little find nice camo
