Will be replaced with new cache

Found it again with my daughter - left some pirate treasure! TFTC

Tftc container leaking logbook totally soaked

TTFC easy find! Lovely path!

They have made this walkway but I see lots of destruction in the effort to build this, I'm not sure I like it. Anyway, there is a cache here and that's what I came for and it was in the 2nd stump I saw close to GZ. The log paper needs replacing which I would have done if I had any with me, took a foto anyway of the log.

Good hiding spot. Logged electronically as log book shredded to bits. Needs maintenance.

Thanks. My first ever Geo cache find. Paper very soggy but managed to sign it

Nice hide

We found it

Needs maintenance . Log book wet and been ripped up. Cache was very exposed. Have re-hidden

Tftc

Awesome

Good little hide, thanks! Needs a replacement log book though.. It's a bit wet in there!

No problems

Eew! That's not a film canister, looks like a drug deal gone wrong! Still, it's a geocache!

A nice walkway through this forest. Thanks for hiding this little cache!

Bit soggy despite the canister.

Saw a beautiful owl and a fantail while looking for this cache. Stunning area!

Easy to find.

TFTC. Did not write on it due to wet/damp paper.

What a beautiful little glade. Been cycling past here often and never went through.

Killing time in Orewa, lovely walking track.

Found it!

Good

Well hidden! First cache

Another quick find for Kiwscot. She leads 3 nil so far today. Replaced log as original saturated and disintegrating. TFTC

Tftf

Found it! Super close to track!!

Took a while to find, however clever hiding. A little more than 2 meters of the track though! TFTC

Nice track but the log was quite damp, didn't have any paper to replace it TFTF ♣

Last one for today.

Easy find but paper really wet. Ta

Cache wet. TYFTC

First find on Geocache!

S Nanny was on to this, after we went round in circles for a while.
Tftc.

Finally got on right side of track and found this ! Not far off track at all ! Thanks guys !

Got it at last .... Had me stumped

Nice and easy. Need to bring a writing device though! And very wet paper. Mino & Caleb

Tricky find but got it in the end.

This is my kind of cache, a nice walk, great bush, a challenge. A tick for you.

Mmmmmmm. Not this stump. But that stump.

took me a while to track down but finnaly found the right "thing" indicated in hint. Hunted around off track for a while, should have read decription a bit better

Popped out for a Sunday afternoons caching with Stella while the sun was shining

Nice walk, fun find

Nice and easy this one.

I borrowed a bike today to cache a little further away. Quick find. TFTC.

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

Nice walkway between these old ferns. Thanks for showing us.

Cache had disappeared so have replaced and moved slightly

I thought I looked everywhere. I definitely checked everywhere that was wheelchair accessible and then I delved deeper into the bush but this hide proved too good for me today. Thanks anyway.

Spend a good 20 minutes on it before finally giving up. I've look at every stump within 15 meters GZ. Would be curious to find out whether the cache is missing or whether I need glasses.

I found this geocache using the Geocaching Intro App. TFTC!

Eades crew found it

[green] At long last, after two weeks of Auckland Mega and the GeoTours North and South, I can get my bike out and go for a ride. Over 30 caches by bike today! Pretty area, but needs some rain - the place looks all dusty and grey. Found the cache okay.

A wander into the fern forest and after a bit of GPSr bouncing about, searching, and remembering it was not far from the path the cache was soon located.

Thanks!

Woohoo

Beaut place!
Replaced log and two bags, all good
Also put it back where the hint says
Thanks!

Found it
tftc

Originally didn't find but once I read the hint I found it.

Found this well hidden cache. Not far off the track 'at all' You don't have to look far, but it has some good camouflage over it, that will need lifting to find it.

Found my first cache! But left the pen at home...stink. Nice little walk close to a park for young kids. Cleverly hidden but easy enough to find.

#19 Great place, good to walk with whole family could even take the pram. Thanks. Kids are having a ball

Great spot I never would have known about otherwise! TFTC

Taking the dog for a walk down here. Lovely! TFTC

Fern Forest II (Auckland) was transferred from 2newkiwis to user KirsTim

Co-ords were a bit off, but found the hint object and then the cache, tftc

Qwik find-tftc

Out for an afternoons caching and a clean up of the 8 +km estuary trail on foot........Nice camo and hide which was found once the correct side of the track was sorted!! TFTC

Mrs Alligator was a bit concerned about the 'falling branches' sign but after convincing her to cycle faster & it shouldnt be a problem, headed off to the cache. Found quickly SL TFTC

2.45pm. Walkways abound everywhere in this new neighbourhood and we enjoyed our wander. Cache located easily.

TFTC

Nice and cool in the Fern Forest today making for an enjoyable walk. TFTC

Really nice wee bush walk. Great to stop of on our way to airport. Cache in hand in record time as friends wandered ahead.

Quick and easy find. Thanks for the lovely walk.

Quick hind, in and out quick as there are many walkers and joggers along here

Lovely walkway

Found with friend while in area.. TFTC

Was originally going to just find the cache and then leave, but it was so pleasant that I continued along the path and did a bit of exploration of the area. TFTC

Nice stroll thru the bush and an easy cache

Quick walk by.tftc

#746, 2 year old daughter made the find only to get the cache snatched away by big brother 4 who claimed a joint find. TFTC

Great urban bush walk on a overcast showery day. Little Miss 5 proudly made the find! TFTC

Grabbing a few caches in the area while passing through on our 'how ever long it takes' NZ tour.

Thanks for setting this up.
