Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches.
Unable to sign log as too wet. Have attached photo. Found with Fisha1288.
Cheers, Cympull.

Time to go

Nice easy find a bit too damp to sign TFTC!

TFTC found with nzref, nzzach and pinkgirl. Great day out in the sun

Bit of a damp walk to get to it, the log is still damp. Great little place to stop and spend time with claireyc nzzach and pinkgirl tftc

1st find with my daughter on Father's day, very happy thanks for the cache and introducing my baby girl to the magical world of geocaching

Container wet, log wet.

Very wet and soggy but, found after a wee bit of searching TFTC

Out with Miss 14 on a caching day for the school holidays. So. Much. Fun. We were in fits of laughter trying to avoid the bog! Unfortunately I don’t have dry socks in my car (mental note for next time!)

But of a muddy slosh to get there after a lot of rain, nicely stashed. Thanks!

Easy

I think the terrain rating should be higher, but still managed to find it. It was challenging but fun. The log book is very wet. Thanks

Bring gumboots or high chance of getting feet wet. Thanks.

We did a bit of Bush bashing but we didn't get our feet wet

Lucky that it wasn't damp underfoot. No trouble locating. Not many people around.

Thanks Yeetrees for placing this cache

I don't know why I left this one so long before going to look for it... sometimes there were muggles around and other times I have wanted to avoid the long wet grass.

This afternoon the lively autumn weather has dried the grass and no muggles were around so I was able to find my way into this one, only disturbing the pukekos.

Log damp but signable.

Got wet feet getting to GZ. Quick find. TFTC

Lovely Day to put some miles into the training and bruises to the shins with Dianne and Kimmy+co, joined for our last leg by Hayzz
Thankfully it was a nice day as i got wet shoes and socks - it was a wee bit of a walk and ride before back for a swim and dry clothes

With friends, soggy stroll but fun,ta

Out biking with hayzz, geeves90 and diannewhight Tftc
Cache was very wet inside

Out with Geeves90 Kimmy+co and DianneWhight.
Is certainly a summer cache...less wet under foot than the last time I tried.

Found and signed - just!

TFTC. Don’t recommend doing this cache in scuffs like me lol lots of rambles around. Hint was helpful. Easily had cache in hand. Log was very damp but still managed to sign.

Quick find once at the geozone. The cache has water in it and the log damp but able to be signed. Now to explore the rest of the park. Tftc

At last great location close to my nickname!
To get to cache GZ is a different story... Very muddy and swampy terrain.

Tftc!

Heading down to Wellington and had time to stop and explore Queen Elizabeth Park. What an amazing place. Parked up the camper van and got out the bikes. Some great concrete and gravel cycle tracks. Also enjoyed the history regarding the US marines with lots of information plaques. Well worth a visit. This cache was all fine. Found a trackable that doesn’t appear to have moved since 2018. Thanks

Should've worn gumboots TFTC!

Bit boggy in winter!

Out and about with MightyMicra now we are well into Level 2 and things are getting back to normal. Quick find after running the gauntlet of the boggy area. Gloves and sanitiser in use whilst handling the log. TFTC.

To wet

To wet

No problems finding the cache but John also managed to find the stinky bog with one foot -oops! Log signed and cache replaced as found. TFTC

Found it on our way to Wellington. TFTC

Just passing here on our way home, and stopped to pick up a couple of caches, but because I wasn't shod appropriately for this swampy location, I sent Mr JoggIn off to find the cache - which he did. He assures me the log was signed correctly, and all is in order. Thanks for the placement.

On an unexpected trip south, unfortunately with muggle 81 yr old father!!! So my finds are far and few between, but many thanks for the placements!

Heading home north today, a quick call in to pick this up as I ran out of time the other day.

I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these cache. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

Quick find thanks for the cache.

Reasonably quiet, the signs said the tram was at the beach and the next run wasn't for a while. Just one guy from the operators and a small number of other muggles around. Was ready for an ice cream after wandering around the park with one find and two DNFs but the kiosk was closed.

Saw the stagnant water and the swampy ground around GZ and decided it was best to play safe and give this a miss as I was wearing sneakers and once I walked back to Paekakariki I had to catch a train which would have been awkward if I ended up with dirty, possibly stinky, shoes!

Thanks for the Geocache. Our first family geocache find! Miss 8 really enjoyed locating it!

Was quick find although walked the wrong way to it and the shoes and socks payed the consequence. Found with Dellz727. TFTC

Found with Kiwi Mico, TFTC

Follow your steps carefully as a marsh awaits!

Boggy little find.... mind your step

Three of us made our way to the hint item then Mrs Sobad went the final metre or so to collect the cache. We were heading for Titahi Bay and had a bit of time to spare so a short walk, a visit to the Marine memorial and three caches filled in time nicely.
Thanks.

Soon got the hint item and then Mr CD found the cache and stamped and returned as found. Then retraced our steps back to the car park. We do appreciate the total lack of nettles in NZ!! TFTC

Yeet

Awesome find thank you

Bit of a boggy walk but made it in the end!

[#4353] While driving from Feilding towards Lower Hutt we stopped at some interesting locations and searched for any nearby caches like this one. All sites were really worthwile visiting and the caches made our visit even more enjoyable. Especially the Kaitoke Regional Park with former LotR movie location Rivendell, the swingbridge and rain forest were attractive. Along the way we also found a reverse wherigo. Thanks to all cache owners.

*Esse d'r niks te zeuke höbs kumpse d'r neet.*

Quick find - great spot.

TFTC. Out with fellow MEGA travellers warfi and kotukuSI.
We almost made it out the gate after a huge caching day and then “There is one more just over there.” WHat could we do but go have a look.
I was delighted to see rainbow lorikeet flying by.
Thanks Yeetrees for creating this cache for others to enjoy.

Mega caching with warfi & purdiepurdie - after navigating the GeoArt of the Inlet we headed up here to filled a "months placed" hole - isn't project-GC great !
It would have been rude not to stop for a few other caches while we were here and this was one of them. actually we were almost out of the park and one of the team said - "isn't that a ... (tree variety) - thiat's the hint for a cache" .... Indeed it was (tree variety) but not the one in question... bit of a cross country trek and our last cache of the day was signed !!
Thanks for placing & maintaining this cache, Flowerydaze.

"Right, that's it we better head home" then... "oh hey wait there's another one just over there", so of course we had to come and look. Thanks for a good find.

We found "The Kapiti Coast Electric Tramway" (Wellington) on our Wedding Anniversary getaway to the WENZ Mega.

That took a bit of scrambling and sloshing but we made the find

Thanks Yeetrees for placing this cache and being a part of out geocaching adventure

Gave up! Will have to try again next time with a pair of gum boots..

I woke up this morning to find that that the rain predicted for the day was nowhere to be seen. And so the day I thought was going to be spend lounging around doing nothing turned into a very nice day spent wandering around Queen Elizabeth Park and Raumati, collecting caches I had wanted to try for, and a few Puzzle Caches I had worked out a while ago. QE Park in particular is a place I hadn't been too for such a long time. I had forgotten about the Tram being there!

So no visit to QE Park would be complete without checking out the trams, or the nearby cache it seems! I picked my way over to this one via a circuitous route to avoid arousing any interest from the muggles in the nearby carpark. Once under tree cover, I was able to search more freely and soon found the container. Everything inside was nice and dry, so signed it quickly and put it all back as requested.

Thanks for placing this hide, and reminding me about the Tram.

Cool quiet spot

Really wet feet but great find

Bit wet. But quick find

Couldn't get to it unless I waded through a large swamp. Will have to return in dryer weather.

Ground wet but cache fine.

Great geocache

Found it but no tractable in cache

I was up this way visiting the local swimming pool. One the way back to the Hutt Valley I stopped for McDs and searched up an unfound cache nearby. This was the one I selected.

As others have said, it was a bit boggy getting to the cache. The cache itself is in good condition. All nice and dry.

Thank you

Cherrys Rule

hint was helpful, ground very swampy, Grandma's first geocache

Very swampy. Gps was all over the place

Got it once I found a dry way in

On our way to wanganui and a couple of caches on the way. Quick find. Cache OK. Pity were not able to get here on the weekend for the Tram.

First find for the day. Nice and dry under feet, easily found

Found! Very useful hint as GPS wasn’t working for us. Thanks!

Quiet day at the park today. TFTC

Tftc

Passing this way and time to spare so picked up. Quick n easy find. Nicely maintained. TNLNSL, TFTC.

Replace cache and logbook

Down in Wellington for work and some culture. Oh and some caching. On the way back from Levin we stopped here for a quick rest and to find the cache. Approach to GZ was very boggy. First to sign the new logbook - thank you for replacing.

A bit boggy on the way to the cache, especially in bike shoes with cleats as the water gets in through the sole. A quick find but log saturated so added a new waterproof log in a sealed plastic bag.

I'd identified this cache a while back as it would help fill one of the few remaining holes for the Hidden Date challenge cache. Today Mrs S and I were returning from a day up on the coast with friends and family so I took the opportunity while passing to make the find. It would have gone a whole lot easier and faster if I'd remembered to pack the GPS before leaving home (duh) so I was having to use the phone. For some reason it wouldn't lock onto any GPS satellites to give me any distance or direction to the cache location. After reading the cache description and hint spotted a likely location so headed there. After making a few circuits checking under all the loose material, poking and prodding and coming up empty handed reexamined the details on the phone. Humm..... the map image is a little out - is there another hint item...? Ahh yes there is! Walked that way and thought this is looking better. After that it was a quick find spotting the SPOS on approach. (Helps when you approach from the right direction;) ) Cache had some water in the bottom of it and the log is reasonably damp. Cleaned and dried out the container as best I could and made a mark on the log. Apologies, as with the GPS, the emergency caching kit was also at home.
Many thanks for the cache, found the old fashion way (sans GPS) by observing the environment.

Suggestion - the CO when next passing replaces the log book.

Good spot, spot would advice to go if dry

Nice find! Don't just look at the tree, have a look around

Quick find at GZ l.. log book needs some maintainence.. bit wet.. tftc

Nice easy find approached frm the dry side tftc

Heading to Wellington to participate in the 2017 Metlink City Safari with GSEL & Infoferret. Stopped here for a cuppa as we'd never been here before. Unfortunately everything was closed, but it only seemed proper to grab this cache. Easy find but ground approaches and log all a bit damp. Managed to scratch my name. TFTC in this interesting area.

I was targeting this particular cache because it fills in a dot day on my hidden dates calendar (not many to go, now!), and because it was a week day I knew it would be quiet as the tramway was not operating. I parked up and started making my way over when I saw that it was extremely muddy and wet, luckily I had my gumboots back in the car so I got changed into them but headed a roundabout way on the other side. Cache was a quick find. TFTC

Nice straight forward find. No sign of the trackable however TFTC

Nice easy find.

Found and it and a big Weta too

13/02/17 - Was looking at the map and figuring out where this one could possibly be until I realised that with the recent rainfall I was pretty much walking in a swamp. A quick retreat and skirt around the edge I soon had the log signed. tftc

found

Found that easily. No muggles today.
Sadly cache very wet. Wasn't able to dry much.
Thanks

Awesome spot

Coords were a bit out for me and cache could use a good clean-up to make the find more rewarding. Good location though so TFTC. After walking through some muddy ground to get to the cache I found there's a perfectly obvious dry route when I returned to the car!

A quick find once we had negotiated the soggy ground on the way to GZ.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Ground is sodden, no danger of muggles! Just had cool tram ride TFTC Yeetrees.

Great hint, quick find. TFTC

Easy find. TFTC

Late Log - TFTC

Tricky but found it

Found it

Found it. Log book a little damp. Container is smaller than clue indicates but fairly easy find
