another

Clambered all around loquat and pohutukawa and in the ladder fern. Couldn't find it

Dnf this morning. Super nanny had the inside of a half tennis ball. Might need a look at

Is this the Lost Lob?
Found on ground and replaced near V in Loquat Tree.

Could not find.

Grabbed while out for an evening walk- gave me a nice target to focus on TFTC

Easy find but tree is not a pito tftc

The first success for today, we were a bit worried that a DNF streak may have started after hunting for one of the OC puzzle caches without success.

The tennis courts are well setup but today there were no players on the courts so we were free to search for this cache without having to hide from the muggles. The cache took a bit of finding as we were looking for a sneaky hide but it is obvious once you see it - look at the hint.

Quick easy find, passed a couple of gardeners on the way up. They are doing a great job. TFTC.

Not sure it's still there. Might just be us

Finally got around to this one after a few years, found it by feel rather that sight!!. Wheelgirlnz car didn't like the judder bars on the way in, the dog and I had to walk out as she was worried about leaving the underside of her car on the road LOL, TFTC.

603 Not now a long black object

Found

Out on the bike again to visit another place I have never been before. Who knew there were tennis courts on the side of the hill above the harbour..??

Thought I had a good idea what I was looking for, but it turned out to be a lot different and smaller than expected.. Luckily, the muggles playing on the courts probably weren't even aware I was there.

TFTC

Found the cache where we expected but not what we expected. Never mind a find is a smilie ! TFTC.

After a short search, we got the box easily. TFTC

Found it together with pijotre.

Stayed overnight along the waterfront so had to get a couple of caches in the morning. Had a bit of a hunt before finding cache secured to a twig that won't last long. All quiet here today. Thanks for the cache Riser5.

Found it in the bushes and back blocks of Onerahi....not sure what the tree is or if it's even fit to be called a tree buts it's there tftc

Replaced in V in tree

Had a very long look in the rain..searched the tiny pittosporums....and even loquat tree....too wet to hunt on ground .
Feel a bit awkward with two guys playing tennis nearby !
Time to go and get all my wet clothes off and log all my finds !

.

found on a nice sunday stroll TFTC

Just about gave up looked really hard for a long time finally found it on the ground only visible by a small white piece on it otherwise wouldn't have found it thanks for the cache and the fun

Parked in wrong place so a bit of a walk, what a cool place to play.

Nice but not sure whether it is a
Pittosporum

I headed up North for the long weekend and after a day out on the harbour, I then drove around Onerahi/Riverside finding a few caches that I hadn't previously done, in between passing showers. Parked right beside GZ for a quick easy find here while no one was using the tennis courts. TFTC!

Nice easy find. Loved the camo. Tftc

Yay. We came back and found it today.

We'll look again

Loved searching for this one. Very cool hiding spot! Took 20 seconds to find !

A little tricky but fun as

Watch out for the speed bumps!

Lost lob but lovely find

Some how this was another cache that I had overlooked. And wasn't on my "map'. So it was not until. A fellow. Cachers. Told me about it that we went here and it was quickly retrieved, signed and re placed.
thank you. For this cache and another smiley face.

Had to avoid the muggles. TFTC

There were tennis players today, but the location of the cache was such that they took no notice of me.

Cruising around Whangarei, and its environs. A lovely fine day to be away from work!

Thanks for effort put your hides.

The judder bars on the way here are vicious. No games in play today except a lone geocacher. This took quite a hunt as the cache was on the loquot tree not a pitisporum. These courts are close to my friends house from years ago and I didn't even know it was here. TFTC

Couldn't find this one..searched all around area indicated by photo...may have been taken

Quick easy find, people playing tennis, found with honeykz

TFTC

We looked for a while til our heads imploded.

AHHHH!

Good quick find. Nice looking tennis courts. TFTC

We found it. The pitasporum I suspect is a little bigger now.

Quick stop and find while in the area, thanks for another cache for us to find.

TFTC, lovely stop on my morning walk.

Found it safe and sound. Cool camo. Cheers!

#250 Easy find once you get right in there. TFT(tennis)C.

Found it, many TFTC

Got it, no problems. TFTC

Nothing like some spring sunshine, sea air and an afternoon stroll close to home to chase away winter ills. TFTC

TFTC nice view on a nice day

Replaced. Hanging in small Pittosporum next to pohutukawa.

need to replace this

Been to get this twice now and still no luck. Where the gps says we are there we find no stones at the bases of any trees!? No luck again for us very frustrating!!

Wet day so didnt dig too deep as we were all getting wet but no find for us today so frustrating!! May try again another day

No luck for us today.

Too good for me today

?

Not a very nice road in easy to ground even going slow. No one around so had a good delve around but still no find

TFTC

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

Found while zooming around sorting out the chaos.

Good hide.

Logged as RAD together with renelm and aedk.

Another good one. Very efficielt speedbumps going up and down.

Found at 15:06 - #4243 - together with aedk and Difool - logged as RAD to save space and time

Found with renelm and Difool, logged as RAD to save log space, time and trees.

I am not much of a logwriter, so see renelms, and possibly Difools, log for details.

TFTC!

#6226. We got here just after school ended; along with lots of muggles attending tennis lessons (and their parents). Managed to find the cache without attracting too much attention, and were pleased not to meet an oncoming vehicle on the narrow drive on our way out. A nice secluded little spot; most unexpected. TFTC.

Squeezed in a trad while doing the OC series. We managed to pick the time that tennis lessons were taking place, so there was a bit of a traffic jam in and around the courts.
This was another cache where reading the cache info helped! TFTC.

I didn't even know that these tennis courts existed until I drove down here for the cache. A very nice set up too!

Walked to GZ and quickly found what I thought was the cache but there was no log. So I widened the search area but found nothing further of interest, so back to the start for another look! This time I got "physical" with the item and out popped a log. Argh! But so clever! Signed the log and returned it without stuffing it to the darkest depths. TFTC!

Initially discounted the cache as rubbish, but then realised what was going on. Great hide worth a favourite point. TFTC !

(575) Great camo. Almost missed this one. TFTC

DNF

A spot of early morning final caching before the start of the work day, and a long drive back home. This had me scratching my head as I searched for it but the light of the torch finally revealled what I had previously overlooked
TFTC

TFTC very well camoflaged

TFTC

Replaced cache with a very light one.

We were in the area and pretty sure how it was hidden but no luck for us today. Hasn't been found since November and although it may well be there, it may pay to check as I'm sure this area will get alot more visitors over the next couple of months.

Lost, or maybe the 3 of use are blind.

Replaced

Will be revisiting this one shortly, Not long to go.

It seems that the rail has been moved and the cache in now missing. Will re think where the cache will go

Not having much luck with these northland caches caches.

No luck for us today but a nice place for lunch.

No one playing so able to have a easy find.

still don't get the hint but found it anyway. Ants weren't happy.

Found eventually after a bit of searching. WiiPhe had me looking in the wrong place for a bit, but got there in the end. Magnet has come away from the tin. Would have fixed myself but traveling light today. Tftc

Quickish find after a couple of locals had left after finishing their game. TFTC!

11.10am. Missed out on this first visit. Brought Geoff along for an extra set of eyes. He spotted what the hint referred to and had the cache in seconds. Worth a favourite point.
Thank you. David and Geoff.

Went to this one with local lad, jachlere. Rain, rain and more rain! Clue a bit too cryptic for us. But now I am back home 200km away I think I have it worked out. Will try again, next time I'm up that way.

TFTC

After school tennis club obviously continues rain or shine. TFTC #2661

Quick find with Luna family and MossyMoses. TFTC

Had to watch for muggles playing tennis.. found with MozzyMoses and DeadRockFlower. TFTC

Decided to take a detour from our original schedule to find some stray caches that have appeared in the area since our last visit. Good hide which we found with the help of a great clue TFTC.

Did not understand clue! GPS spot on!!!!

Did not know what the clue meant but gps found it easy

Sorry, nice places to live + tennis courts but could not make out the cache locations. The hint was too cryptic for me too....

MaSL & Smiley

Went from puzzled to aha very quickly.
