opening area up for other caches.

Checked on this yesterday and found the sign the cache was on has been damaged and the cache is in fact missing.

Will put together a new cache and get this one back up and running as soon as possible.

Checked all the signs in front and behind but no cache. Surprising how badly damaged the signs are when close up!

Co-ords seem to be off and checked signs on both sides of the road but no luck.

Found

I looked at some other logs realised it was on the other side of the road but I wasn't allowed to go there

Found it after waiting for muggles to clear out! Parked the car in a stealthy position to help disguise. TFTC

Had a look around, but didn't find it. will have to return and check again!

Another didn't find

hmmmm??

Found it, all well.

New cache container, logsheet, cache note and clue.

Happy hunting.

A number of DNF on this one. Will check on it tonight get it back up and running.

Dnf

The remains of the previous container are still there but there's no sign of a new container. I've found it previously so know I'm looking in the right place - I need to re-find it to do the mystery cache though.

Not missing.

Disabling while I put together new container.

Found it after some frustration. It was smashed into pieces all over the ground. We collected all the pieces and took a photo. Must have fallen out of the sign and gotten mowed over. Needs to be completely replaced.

Awesme. We have struggled with a few.

Revisited with Poupe_

#1375 - TFTC.

Been here before so was pleased to find it this time, TFTC . Didn't have a pen so will go back & register.

2nd for today, a quick find between muggles, Tftc.

Heading south, back to the lower North Island for our Christmas time. Always enjoy passing through lovely Cambridge. Although very busy and lots of traffic today.
Would strongly encourage the CO to review the coordinates for this one. I too confirmed them to be way off - +/- 25m. For the sake of those who visit in the future, a simple revision of the coords would be a super contribution to enjoying caching in the Waikato.
Cache in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

The coords are way off at this one, but with help of the hint fast found. TFTC

Realized I hadn't logged this when we did them, catching up. Quick jump out cache.

Well it found me. Touched sign and it dropped out.

Woohoo first cache easy find TFTC

Easy find around the hautap area. Thanks

NZ MEGA is now all over. Heading home with time for a few park and grabs on the way.
I had a dnf here on my way north last week. The GPS didn't have me anywhere near any signs. Got a hint over the weekend from a local and made the find today on my way south.
TFTC

Quick find. TFTC. Cheers

Found it through the hint - but GPS at least 20 meters out!!! Stupid thing!!

Found while in NZ for the Mega. Unfortunately we had a bit of traffic about when trying to do this one. Geomum couldn't get the cache out so geodad had to come and help!! TFTC thequiltys

Difficult to find a nice break in cars to get the cache and than to get it back... it took some time but i managed it TFTC

Why couldn't we find it last time??? Nice easy one today, just had to time it between bursts of busy traffic. TFTC

5463. On our way to Hamilton from Taupo. This was cache nine of the day. A nice and easy park and grab. Thanks for the cache. Rodney and Iris.

Quick easy driveby, when there was a break in the traffic. Good clue was big help. Thanks a lot for the cache.

Easy to find, once the hint was worked out. Lots of muggle traffic made it hard to use stealth. But found enough of a gap in the traffic to be sneaky.

Drove to Rotorua today with the family, decided to find a few geocaches along the way to make the trip a bit more interesting. Thanks for making us stop.

Revisit to collect bonus code. Cache visible so pushed inward on return.

Found!

Found this OK as part of the "Welcome to Cambridge" Puzzle. However, the Tirau "Welcome to Cambridge" part of the quest does not appear on the map, hence no description etc. Can someone guide we newbies on how to proceed please.

Quick drive by. TFTC

easy to spot this one

Found on way back to Auckland to catch plane home

Realised this was a series when we were looking to spend another day in Cambridge, so had to collect info from the one on SH1 which we had done a while ago, before heading for this one. We hadn't read other logs, so I was barking up the wrong tree when it was found.

nice easy find

Very lucky day for this Geocache.

Found it lying on the ground. Opened it to find a full log sheet.

By luck I had another NeverTear waterproof log sheet in the car. So made the replacement.

Nice quick find. tftc

getting some out of city caches with Becsicasa, tftc thequiltys, nice to find a cache of yours after knowing you cached and seeing your name in a few logs.

Today was about clearing some Cambridge caches. Was especially gunning for multis on this run, but will accept anything else.

Traffic was fairly heavy at ground zone, so I had to move quickly. Don't know how the cache was held in place, and it certainly wouldn't go back in the way I retrieved it. Ended up placing it on the ledge and hidden. Next cacher might need to reach for it (sorry). TFTC.

Out mishing it with Z-masterNZ, Cambridge here we come.
#17 for the day.
TFTC

Did not know this cache was one of a series and missed recording the clue. Will have to go back for that. Interesting placement of cache. Bang the sign and it falls on your head. I felt like Chicken Little.

Looked in various places but couldn't find, GPS not much help here

Mrs b'away found it this time. Tftc

Mrs Bridgaway found one at last??TFTC

GPS was off by about 18m for us so its a good thing our Geo instincts kicked in and we were able to find the cache. Thanks for putting this 'series' together.

We got the hint.TFTC

Found it gave jacira a scare tftc

Nice find for this time of the year. Found it with quinlanm.

Nice hide! TFTC.

had two passes at this one, and went with the geo-instincts rather than the GPS, then it was a quick find and off again. TFTC

Another Cambridge quickstop. TFTC

I was only just tall enough - with a little help from my umbrella - to retrieve and replace cache.

Now this one had us going every where but the right way, had to do the hint in the end.

A nice quick find. TFTC

Found at 10:03 AM GAFF1 - what is going on here! The sign must have been moved by 32 metres since this cache was placed! GZ took us to a tree that I kid you not is 32 metres from the Cambridge sign - has any one mentioned that before, or do they all just look at the hint and ignore the co-ords?
Thanks thequiltys

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

Stopped for this on our way down to Rotorua for the weekend. Our GPS was a bit off for this, but we looked at the most likely spot and soon found the cache. TFTC!

I was on my way from Auckland to Cambridge and was a little early for a rendezvous with a client so had some time to locate and sign off this cache.

Cheers for the cache.

Good hide TFTC

Understanding the clue got us there in the end. tftc

A nice quick find thank goodness as the rain was starting again. TFTC #3735

Great cache but pencil needs sharpening. TFTC

tried a few different spots but found it tftc

Nice easy find once logic prevailed.

Quick find while passing through Cambridge TFTC

TFTC

Nice easy find whilst on a trip through the Waikato updating pubs with my pub quiz. TFTC

Nice cache, thanks

A couple van loads of kids getting ready for their rugby games were around, but they were all more interested in what they were doing than someone looking at a road sign. No troubles on the find.

Gps all over the show but cool hide

GPS off by a country mile ---- and if it was where we thought it could be, then it was not a cache for 2 short OAPs.

Glad we read the clue here and though about it tftc

A successful night raid. TFTC

Found this one on the way back to town...was lying on the ground - put it back where I think it should be. TFTC

Nice quick find passing through

Chec's again. Guess that's the benifit of being a passanger.

Quick find on a way to Cambridge today. TFTC

Quick one to find

2nd look for this one; used GPS 1st time, followed the hint this time & all was good. TFTC

The hint was essential as coordinates were 24m out for my Montana 650t.

Quick find while caching in the region today. TFTC

Didn't find this one. Looked right where GZ was and it took me to the middle of the side street. Also there was a gathering of muggles at the building right next to where the cache might be so I didn't go look any more as they all looked at me like I was wierd the first time I look around

Drove right up to this one. Glad to grab another welcome to cambridge cache

Thanks for the clue.

TFTC, took my mother along for her first find

Thanks for renewing this cache...
I did not know it was missing and have looked for it in passed times, end of last year.
Driving passed today I thought I should have a look-see and hello.. found and a new log sheet. Thanks
