Had a bit of a dig but I think this one has gone?

The onlt DNF here. Nothing at GZ for me .... Maybe another time.

We found the empty lidless and cracked container, with a plastic bag nearby. We replaced it with a Berocca container with a waterproof logsheet in the plastic bag. Lots of horses and floats across the road, and we could hear the loudspeakers from an event. TFTC

No spare container to sort this. Tftc

Found it.But it was out in the open with no lid.The log had got wet and was unable to enter a log.Sorry no log paper to replace.TFTC

Quick find with Philip.Perry. After tonights event.

What an amazing day! Set off to the Waikato with intentions to meet up with NZFlossy and TNXPro but somehow didn't see either of them - instead I managed to alternate my caching partners between Mr & Mrs Tryfyn & KayDeeGee and then Davidson Clan & Squirrel Nutcase for the late shift. I had a great time at both of the Hamilton events and enjoyed catching up with the locals here and from home. Lastly - a big 'thank you' to the CO's that made 2018's International Geocaching Day so awesome.

It's there and the log is in working order but the container needs replacing and it's not particularly well hidden either. Cheers cashkids, TFTC

Found but in need of some TLC. Cap also missing

Needs repair

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found but broken

Cache found but broken, no log and no lid. I only had a tissue to sign so I'm afraid that will soon be mush. Needs replacement and TLC. TFTC.

Not a great day for us! Another DNF but we have now noticed the last find was 6 months ago.

Found along with a great supply of small pinecones for the fire and classroom crafts. Tftc

Nice and sunny. Lots of people out enjoying the sunshine on bikes

Tftf

Boy was this place packed today! I had to give way to horses with their horsey women just so I could get in here to park. Funny enough I though parking would be a serious issue here, but as it happened I parked right next to GZ. Can't ask better than that really! Picking up the cache was easy too. Thanks for the cache.

Second of the day. Nice easy find

Easy find. Rather busy but that just part of the challenge. Now off to find my 600th cache.

Nice stop quick find

Found it! Thanks

GPS was bouncing but the clue had us find it easy. TFTC!

Nice easy find

Tftc

After watching a boat launch in this little gem of a place we strolled over when the coast was clear. Well camouflaged. TFTC

Nice find when out for a ride tftc

Over to do a recce for our Tauranga cycling group. Great day for it ! Cache all good. Fingers stuck by gum! TFTC

165 Came to the north end of Hamilton as meeting point to pick up my boys after they have had the weekend with their grandparents at the V8s in Pukekohe. So what better than to spend the afternoon caching while waiting. Some boy racers had their cars parked up nearby, they were too busy polishing their cars and taking pics to notice someone excercising their dog. Managed retrieve, signed in car and replaced. Managed to get my hands covered in the sticky tree sap also the inside of my pocket. TFTC

On a mission today to find 120 + as a team of 4. All logs signed Naki 4
Team is Blenheim Bear Thatsneat Tmninjaturtle and 2 Bulbars.
It was a fun filled day finding many sorts of different caches and visiting many interesting places.
Many thanks to all who placed these caches to help make it such an enjoyable day

Found this with the team "Naki 4" (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, TMNinjaTurtle and myself) on our mission from Huntly to Hamilton on our hunt to 120. Was a long day but pleased to have it completed! Thank you for the cache.

A quick sticky find. Had tree sap on it and I think I managed to touch every bit on there! But still a great hide, TFTC

Found this cache during the Naki 4 team (Blenheim Bear, 2Bulbars, Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtle and That’s Neat) run on the 120 caches in one day on the 3rd Oct. Many thanks Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. TFTC! Blenheim Bear

Checked a few and soon had what I needed. TFTC.

Had to do a quick dash down to Hamilton to do a trial of product on a customers machine.

Was a quick fairly successful trial and so had a bit of time before heading back to Auckland.

Needed a cache of the day to continue our streak and as this was close to the customer popped around and made a quick find.

TFTC

Nice quick find tftc

I re hid this cache with a little more debris from the ground to make it not as obvious.

That was a fast one!! Tftc

Nice and easy find:)

Easy find

Found it

On a river walk with angela j and nikita93
Found after a covert look while riders get ready with their horses and those with boats drive past.

I was not told there was an extra week break from my volunteer work, so I wound up with a free afternoon with no kids!!!! So I decided to head out and find some caches

Thanks for bringing me here, I will come back another time and complete the river ride that runs near here and the caches along it.

A good hint led me to the spot and it was all done without the nearby dog walkers knowing what had happened.

#250. Fairly routine find after spotting the only suspect. Tftc.

The binx and i have scored a third cache....we are on a roll......a few more to go.....

Tftc

A nice quick easy find. Have never been down here before, so thanks for bringing us! TNLN. SL. TFTC!

Found by Mrs W while at a horse event. A nice spot.

they say you learn something new every day, well i did, didn't realise there was a boat ramp here until i saw the cache, a few cars here early evening but no one around, a quick find, tftc

TFTC...out for a bike ride with the daughters and brother, a nice quick find along the way. ☺

I searched around the wrong tree for a while. Had an experienced geo cacher with me who had to say "what's out of place" a few times for me to get what she'd already spotted

Tftc

Small one

Yay

Nice quick find. Log book full. Tftc

Thanks for the cache

TFTC

Log sheet very full! Found after a lovely walk! Thanks! Nice spot! Not busy at al today!

Just a few equestrian people around, but they were busy with their really big dogs and didn't even notice I was there. TFTC.

Time to head south and pick up a few caches while getting a bit of exercise riding my new bike.

There were quite a few muggles across the road attending to the equine owners.

Cheers for the cache.

The logsheet was very full. Had to squeeze my log up in the printed stuff.

Great find. Useful hint!

A quick cache while getting the boat I from an impromptu skiing afternoon. Thanks.

Great walk (20 mins) from the carpark, dogs enjoyed a swim off the ramp too

Nice find while we were having having a ski from the boat ramp. No muggles around. Log is full.

Found ... Mrs McMike2012 decided that we would head down towards Hamilton & try a couple of cycling/mountain biking trails/tracks ... starting at Horotiu & heading towards Te Rapa & Pukete ... and doing some caching on the way ... didn't realise how busy this area would be ... so we had to keep a sharp look-out for 'muggles' ... all in all a good time had by us. Cache easily found & replaced. TN:LN:SL. TFTC. #766 for us.

TFTC picked up in a morning ride

Lots more muggles for this one quick easy find tftc

A big horse thing on today so stealth mode required cache all good

last one for the day after a great day caching tftf

Tftc Another on my bike ride.
