In the area for a short bit of caching after work and this was my last stop. I thought it was odd that there was no cache container…just the plastic bag with the logs, but maybe that was intentional? Either way, it was a quick find and the cache is back in its hiding spot. TFTC!
Great spot for a cache, and best of all out of reach of most junior muggles, TFTC
Targeted this one as I needed to find a cache placed on the 2 Nov to complete my 'caches placed' grid. Found log and bag but no container. TFTC
Checked a couple of likely spots, then (with a little assistance) managed to spot and retrieve it. Shook worms out and signed log. TFTC
Made a quick night time find of Horcrux #5, the last Horcrux left unfound for us. Glad to have been able to complete the series. Thanks.

Well we found it! Bittersweet really cause now the series is over! Great stuff, really loved it! Cheers!
After waiting for the bus to take the muggle away I had no problem with the reach but couldn't find the plastic bag. You'll probably need to archive this one before the 12th. Pity it was a great series concept - even if I didn't manage to get to it till now.
Found it, but there was no box anymore! The plastic bag was lieing on the lawn under the tree. We put it into the tree, between the plants. This cache needs maintance!
Anyway, TFTC for my first cache in NZ!

Nice quick find due to one of my attributes. C of TRCK didn't have a show at finding it. TFTC
Wow this is an awesome as idea for a series!
Watching the movies definitely helped! I was explaining to mum as we were navigating along what Horcrux's were and stuff.
For this one, it's a good thing she's much taller than me... I would have had trouble aplenty trying to get this one! Haha.
TFTC!!

Found nice and easy - thanks. Looks like a high muggle zone with all the houses overlooking. Retrieved Jack Sparrow and his Sea Turtle and will take them for a wee ride
Hmmm, not one for the vertically challenged. Thankfully Hastingus was able to give Brook Vader a leg up and the cache was soon in hand. Wished I'd had my camera. TFTC.
We could see the footprints of the previous cachers in the soggy ground, we followed these and sure enough success. Hastingus gave me a leg up and the cache was quickly retrieved. TFTC.
Decided this was an appropriate time to tackle this series & so with Cabhassett & Brook Vader we set off to find the caches, starting with the one nearest home & following on from there. Luckily one of us was agile & able to get to this cache! TFTC
Thought we might try our luck at horcruxes after seeing the final movie last night! TFTC
Having the day off work and not a cloud in the sky, decided to round up the rest of this series. Arrived at GZ thinking this would be an easy find in the most obvious spot but alas it took longer than it probably should have. Finally located the cache and placed back in its hiding spot. TFTC
Quick find, used a large stick nearby to lever it out. 3rd horcrux for me I think. TFTC.
Out of reach, but found a magic stick to retrieve.
Added pencil, new logbook as old one has only a few places left (left old one there) thanks, good hide, even if it's so public !

WP today was between two trees. Two good hides spied outta reach but unfortunately it was just too wet for a butterfly to try her wings.... came away with grubby hands, stretched calves but no cache find.
Found with Biggles while caching in the area. How did Biggles reach that one??? TFTC
Found on day 3 of a 3 day Auckland cache raid with Kiwi Explorer. Mr KE can usually outreach me but I managed a quick stretch and grab at this one 
TFTC, Biggles.
TFTC, Biggles.Found this one quickly and wedge it back in place after noting the clue for the final, 2nd horcrux destroyed TFTC
One of 262 finds with Team Y-Cacho's during our 24 hour Auckland cache raid epic.

3486 Nice early morning cache raid, not a muggle in sight, so nice quick find! Only our second in the series but we will work our way through them eventually. TFTC
Not sure but may have been muglled from the nearby house. Hope the cache is intact. TFTC

#487: Found after about 5 mins. Good thing wifey has long arms and legs, as those of us who are vertically challenged will definitely have issues with this one.

2am, I have just finished work but as I drive away another car pulls up. He has something in his hand as he walks up the road. Will just have to wait and see if he logs. TFTC
Off to get a few of the close to home caches done. Slowly picking these horcruxs off. The second for th eday.
Cheers for the cache.

Another lovely geocaching day! Found this cache quite quickly. SL Thanks for setting it up.
#636 Spotted diadem quickly, just needed some extra reach to help retrieve it. Managed to cover it a bit better .All quiet around here today. SL. TFTC.
Junior Pastamakers were quickly into battle with the Horcrux but couldn't quite finish it off then up came Mr Pastamaker and blew and blast of Fiend Fire at it!
Cammo had become detached and looks like it is possibly damaged as bits that looked like it were lying around the ground.

Gadget-tron did a good job - but not good enough

5269 Nice spot for a cache, off to the bonus now that we have completed the series. TFTC
Well we have to admit we did attempt this one last night but with no luck, we now realise we had loaded the wrong numbers into the GPS 
. We hadn't even bothered to check again if it had been found until quite late tonight and we were surprised to find a blank log when we opened the cache 
FTF . Great hide T4TC.
