I had a tiny bit of time to grab a cache or two before starting my defensive driving coarse. I followed the hint instructions but because I'm vertically challenged I nearly ended up in a pile in the ground as I slipped. Fortunately I managed to grab the cache at the same time. Thanks for the early morning thrill!
Decided to take a break from my studies and spend the day out caching. I offered to also take out my 2 nephews and niece along with me. We decided to head out to Pukekohe after picking up my nephew in Opaheke.
The GPS had us in circles so we searched a few locations before I finally had the cache in hand. The kids were upset that they couldn't find this one.

I disturbed several spiders and bugs, sticking my hands in to any crevice I could reach on those trees
This is bull we didn’t even find like we did find it but not us if u know what I mean but alg cause we’re not at school
With time to spare before I had to head to the airport and home, I continued to wander around Pukekohe finding a few caches along the way. No problems for me finding the cache as the coordinates were spot on and so I found it in the first place I checked. Not sure about the terrain rating though... TFTC, Biggles.
I found the container and it was quite far out of place and just lying on the ground. I assume its in this condition because of a festavile that had revently occured
Foumd it, but not tall enough to get it. Still lots for fun looking for it. Thanks for the cashe.
We had a nice walk to GZ and enjoyed the ambiance as we walked through the trees.
We spotted a likely hiding place after a quick scan of the area and were pleased to find that we were correct. Fortunately Mr Coblet is tall so retrieval was quick and easy.
Nice hide, thanks thejaybees.

On a hunt for some caches around town, caching in the evening works in our favor with everywhere being quite and made for easy finds. Thanks for the placement and our first time being in this town.
Found on the way into town. Lovely big park, plenty of trees - luckily I'm quite tall! TFTC
Geocaching day in Pukekohe. This part of the town visited on my bike. Enjoyed this hide! Well placed. Nice one. Pleasure to find. TFTC
On a 24hr mission to Auckland with Philip.Perry and three of my kids started caching at about 3pm getting back to accommodation at 330am then up and back on the road for a xouple of hours before heading home. We decided we had three caches we had to find this mission then the rest was all about getting our numbers up so concentrated on a high cache area. Meet Sethraven just on dusk who helped us on a cache we couldnt find before she headed home so that was great. Really enjoy caching in Auckland at night no traffic and no muggles to get in our way. We only had a few DNF caches for the day which isnt to bad. Thanks to all th CO for the caches.
Had a cheeky Auckland Mission on the cards this weekend and this was day two. It was a late one last night so today we figured we'd take it easy and try to clear Pukekohe out today before heading home. Coords were spot on here so it was all over fairly quickly. Cheers thejaybees, TFTC

Great cache. Got put off at first by the old rusted cache but quickly found the replacement and signed the log. TfTC
Had lunch with a friend and thought would try amd find my first cache in Pukekohe. A bit of stretch and climb for this 50+ body. Cache does need replacing as tin very rusty and crushed. Will check next time I'm down this way and replace if not done.
Wonderful weather today so I decided to make a Little trip to Pukekohe and do some Geocaches.
Last one on my tour. A quick find here, everything alright here!
Thanks for hiding!

Came across the fields, a bit boggy. Netball was being played, but that meant everyone was looking the other way. I spotted the likely hiding place, stood on the necessary to get the reach, and there it was. Signed and rehid. Crowd roared. Ok, not for me, just a lanky GS popping in a long shot. I’ll head back the other way. TFTC
Yay....luckily for me wetbootsnz had it very quickly so I didn't need to stand on roots !
Replaced.

Found it and likewise no log and we didn't have our cache kit with us, sorry. So took a photo
Was in the car driving round the area a different way this afternoon and turned the corner to discover the park. I said to my mother "there's a geocache over there", funnily enough she obliged to park and let me find it. Approaching GZ, muggles were close by practicing cricket. Although I didn't want this to put me off finding the cache, so tried to obscure myself behind the trees. GPS was jumping around so took me a while to find the spot, which was right overlooking the cricketers. Found the cache with no lid. My height coming in usefull on this one. Signed and returned maybe not so inconspicuously. TFTC 
We arrived at GZ to find a muggle relatively close doing his Tai Chi. We had to be rather stealthy to look for this one and to get it well he was not looking. Got it, signed and returned. TFTC
Geocaching as part of my bachelorette day! This cache was find number 4 by our team.
The Guide Unit in Pukekohe have been doing our Geocaching Badge so we spent the night out and about finding caches, this was one of them. We also dropped off a TB too. TFTC
