Sorry For The People Who"s Geo coins/Trackables Have Been Muggled In This Cache

The New Cache Will Be Much Secure As I Get Permission To Place A New One Somewhere Else Around Or Over The road from the bull?

Any ideas Contact Me

Happy Caching

On our beautiful trip from Auckland to Wellington and return we stopped at this nice spot and found this cache. We found many nicely hidden containers.
We would like to thanks everyone for showing us such nice locations and of course, the numerous caches.
Thanks and best regards from Germany

Found on Mr & Mrs TallGuy789's honeymoon trip around the Coromandel and back down to Wellington. Felt very exposed grabbing this one. Had to wait for a while for a muggle in a nearby car to leave to make the replacement. Picked up a TB in paper passport form (have not seen one of those before). TFTC.

There were some muggles having a look at the bull when we arrived but it didn't bother us too much as it gave us a chance to sit and relax for a bit with a cold drink. As we were waiting the signpost grabbed our attention and we had a chuckle at some of the names with our fav being 'Animal Hospit-A-Bull'. It didn't take too long for the muggles to disappear and we soon had the cache in hand. What a cheeky lil spot - well done.

Heading north after catching up with family in Foxton.

The Bull was busy today. I managed to retrieve the cache, but returning proved to be difficult. People were arriving, standing around, talking, and climbing. Had to employ all of my caching skills to screen out the replacement. This took longer to return than find. TFTC. Took out a geocoin and placed three TBs.

I and JBG63 took these caches on our holiday to Australia and New Zealand. We went from home on the 5th of January and came back home on the 30th of January. First we stayed in Sydney for four nights and then we went to New Zealand, Auckland. We hired a car and drove up north to Whangarei and around. Then we drove back to Auckland and down to Waitomo caves, Rotorua and in Wellington we left our car. Instead we met a friend from work who was there as a guide with his Swedish group. We followed them in their bus from Wellington and down thru the west coast of the south island. In Queenstown we stayed for two nights and then we followed with the bus to a boat trip in Milford Sound. When we came to Dunedin we hired a car again and drove up to Christchurch from where we took a plane home thru Sydney, Singapore and London. We have had a wonderful trip and seen lots of new beautiful places and met lots of nice people. Thanks for all these new places and caches.

We stopped in Bulls for lunch while traveling from Wellington to Hamilton and collected this cache while letting the kids have a walk/ crawl around. Our two boys literally crawled all over the bull, which provided great cover for a quick search and find. Earns a favorite as much for the joy I got from watching them have so much fun as for the hide.

Took this cache on our holiday in New Zeeland. Took it with iza. Greetings from SWEDEN. Tftc.

Chec was out of the car like a rocket and found the cache before the muggles knew what she was up to.
Left Sluggy there to further his adventure.Big Grin

I wasn't really able to search on a previous visit to Bulls. I wasn't confident that middayish on a Monday would be a good time either.

Things got off to a good start when I was able to snare the best parking spot in terms of partially blocking the view. After checking that the other nearby vehicles were not occupied, I quickly found the cache during a break in pedestrian traffic. Replacing the cache turned out to be just as easy.
 
22-Dec-12
Had to be careful of muggles here so posed for a photo as I reached under. Last find for the day on our way south for Christmas. Thanks.
 
17-Dec-12
We were abull to find the multi last visit so were pleased to see a traditional here. Reliabull coordinates and hint gave a manageabull find before the constabull could take interest. Time for some memorabull comestabulls then away.
Thanks.

Had A Look At The Cache Today

Driven past this cache so many times, finaly desided to stop on the way home from a cache event in Palmerston ( 12-12-12 The End ). TFTC
 
10-Dec-12
On our way home to Hamilton after a weekend in Wellington. Always enjoy Bulls (and a chance to pun) so it was inevitabull that we'd stop quickly for this one. We only noticed the bull on the way down as we knew there was one here, hadn't seen it before, but it's been a while.
 
06-Dec-12
Found while surprising the kids with a north lsland holiday
Been to Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Ohakune. Now heading to Wellington.
If it wasn't for caches, we probably wouldn't find places like this to visit!
 
02-Dec-12
Quick find after the admiring muggles left. A lot of bull. TFTC

Crossing the Northern Island on our way to Wellington.

My knowledge-a-bull husband knew where this was locat-a-bull straight away. An enjoy-a-bull find in a not so chach-a-bull location due to the muggle-a-bull risk. Dropped off a track-a-bull. Ate lunch and was full-as-a-bull.

an easy find many thanks Smile
 
06-Nov-12
... found it ! ... a very funny GZ spot but the entire area is a muggle zone making it nearly impossible to make the grab without someone taking note. ... some nearby mutts in a parked truck yipped and yapped nonstop ! ... the play on the word "bull" throughout the town was amusing. ... TFTH
 
06-Nov-12
Funny little town and fun cache. Great sign post with many "bull"word-plays....ie. constable=constabull

Smile

27-Oct-12
Took awhile to find as the clue wasn't read properly TFTC
 
27-Oct-12
If Dad had of told us under front instead of under foot it would have been a quicker find. TFTC
 
27-Oct-12
We were fairly early in the morning so all was quiet for this. TFTC
 
27-Oct-12
A very cleaver hiding spot for the cache.
 
27-Oct-12
Took a while as I had misread the hint for foot.TFTC.
 
27-Oct-12
On the last leg of our Mega Road Trip. Had stopped on the way down but failed to find it. Glad to have success on the return journey. Clever hide. SL. TFTC. Big Grin

This is a high muggle area usually, but I finally passed it on a quiet day. Quickly found, signed and returned, before any vehicles passed. Thanks.
 
13-Oct-12
Our first find Smile
 
07-Oct-12
Now this would be a challenge on a busy day - you would want your excuse prepared beforehand.
 
04-Oct-12
Nice, easy find. TFTC
 
02-Oct-12
What a fun spot and how appropriate for Bulls. Fortunately as it was getting on in the evening, it was fairly quiet at GZ but Mr Orsome4some frightened the life out of Miss O telling her a policeman was coming just as she was trying to return the cache to its hidey-hole. Not a popular dad for a while!
 
02-Oct-12
Had a police car drive past as we searched and then the RNZAF 757 flew over.
 
02-Oct-12
Easily "found-a-bull"
 
29-Sep-12
Thanks for the cache, easy to find with the hint Smile
 
25-Sep-12
Quickly spotted but then I had to wait for a few muggles to move on before I could get the job done. TFTC
