Been to check and there is no spot left to hide a cache that I would put one, so this one's consigned to history now.

Might be worth a check when you are over this way.
 
27-Nov-11
Checked both of the ‘halves’ on all sides, but no luck. Sad We got GZ to be somewhere in the middle of the water too.

Found with Old Boots. Our 2 GPS led us a merry dance. We were quite confused. TFTC

All credit goes to Sobad here. Mrs was walking with the GPS saying it seems to be along here - he looked at the obvious cause of the cache name that she had walked right past and waved the cache at her. Really odd. Thanks

Very easy find - mostly because the cache was exposed. Signed and hidden again. TFTC (#203, 10.17am)

Although GZ was displayed as being in the middle of the pond, we are slowly getting used to finding NZ caches 10m away from listed co-ords.

Last find in a day of diverse Geocaching. Walked for 5 hours return for one cache this morning. Then picked up four finds in a little over 30 minutes this afternoon while in town . Interesting little walkway and certainly an interesting tree. GPR had me 5 metres away in the stream but you just need to tell it whose boss sometimes. That’s it for today, off to Pohara for an ice-cream. SL TFTC
 
Took us two visits, as we were staying at the nearby campsite and had one attempt last night. Nothing likely seen on the first visit, but read the cache information fully and returned this morning to find the correct spot. Quick find this time. SL. TFTC.

Quite a double act - the trees I mean. Kiwi Explorer stood around bemused while I did the searching on this one today. Found the cache, eventually, but not quite where I expected it. TFTC, Biggles.

Nice One!!!!!!!!! After three finds on "the hill", we decided to go for a few in the Takaka area. Good move. Really had a great afternoon. Neat little reserve and walkway. Takaka has so much more to offer than just a trip over the hill. Must return in the near future to clean up the rest. Well done! Thanks
