Not today

A couple of cables in the pole but no cache unfortunately

We had a good look around for this. There was a couple wires where we thought the cache may be, but came up empty on the actual cache.

No luck with this one and we need to keep hiking. Doing the loop today. Started in Pahia and heading to Russell.

It did need a bit of hunting around

Thanks to swiwinz who found two pieces on the ground. Both back in the hidey hole.

Had a bit of a poke around here but didn't come up with anything

Gone

Dnf today

Thanks for showing me this place. Tftc!

I'd on PowerPoint cannot find

Intrigued by this cache so headed over, found what we think might have been the cache but suspect it is now damaged. sending a note to CO.

TFTC. great find and a neat design. Had to take a second look to find this one!

Tweezers will help but so does increasing.

We are in the area for a week taking a break from the big smoke and this is our first trip here off season. It's not sunny and hot but it makes up for it in being nice and quiet and super easy to get around.

Taking a drive now down to Russell to have a look around and pulled off here to take a look at this intriguing sounding cache. Mrs Tuolei did the honours here and found it nice and quickly - interesting idea and first exactly like this I have seen.

All good here - thanks very much for the cache.

Found with kanoeboy. Clever. TFTC.

1187. 1:31 pm. Cool idea. Found with GRAKIWI. TFT(visionary)C.

Tricky find TFTC

Awesome! Thanks

Up here on a holiday with the side goal of finding as many TMGT caches as we can.

Walking from Okiato to Russell today.

Nice hide. Seen this once before on the Golf Coast.

What an amazing cache, kiwi ingenuity at its best. Thanks for a great find.

Great little find, loved the cache itself. TFTC found with Yvettetb

I wasn't sure it was the cache until I read some of the previous logs. TFTC.

Nice hide, I really connected with this one

Found on the ground, i am sure that is not the right place it was ment to be. And thus require maintenance. Found together with NZYODA

Verry well disguised inded, loved this one particularly !

Nice hide, great spot was worried I wouldn’t have reception here

Walked from Opua to get this one. This was a sneaky hide. Picked it up when I first got here but didn't realise it was in hand until a did a circuit of the pole. Had a closer look and had it in hand. Thanks for the cache

Trouvée facilement ! Belle cache ! On continue !

Today we did the bay of islands coastal walkway. We really enjoyed the nice views of the bay, the wild bushes an the trips with the ferries. But what surprised us most was the amount of caches alongside the path. Thanks for hiding! We really liked the unique way of "hiding".

Nearly gave up but persevered

Found after a short search, logging in field, TFTC.

Sweet cache. Thanks for the walk

A nice quick find as we grab a couple of caches whilst over this side collecting the last few of the Tuia Matauranga Geo Tour caches. TFTC

Found on my trip north enjoying the caches in Northland

Quick drive by. Nice cache thanks

Heute machen wir uns auf den Weg zur „Hölle des Pazifiks“...
Wieder ein Superwanderweg!
Dieser GC hier war super gepflegt und einfallsreich versteckt!
So macht cachen Freude!

Greetings from Tauranga. So nice to be in the shade as the day is getting to be very warm. Turned out to be 31 degrees. Cache is all good. No tools needed. Fave point earned we think. TFTC

Walked the mangrove board walk with kids in the hot sun. Came up the track and decided to add this one to the list. Cache quickly found - nice disguise! Tftc.

Replaced log to help this one along. Cheers
Thursday - day Thirteen - Kerikeri - Russell with The Seagnoid , toby and William. Zara gets to rest up in KeriKeri.

Its another epic 3+ week geocaching adventure with The Seagnoid, Zara, Toby and Willam to the Far North. What an amazing place to explore. Lots of walks, gravel roads and sand. Lots of amazing trees, beaches and interesting POIs. Lots of kilometers traveled by vehicle and foot. Vehicle breakdowns, making new friends and catching up with old friends and family. Snagged a couple of FTF's, lots of lonely caches and the odd event along the way. Lots of cache maintenance and replaced caches on this trip. But what an incredible adventure!!. Thanks to all the CO's who have made this trip so memorable..

Replace log.

Day thirteen of an awesome, tiring, long, three week holiday geocaching with Taybeedragon in the upper north. Russell. The whole trip comprised of hours of walking on sand, sliding down sand dunes, hundreds of kilometres of unsealed roads, car breakdowns, paddling out to islands, lighthouses, dolphins, goats, events, FTFs, weird boulders. You name it, we saw it. Lots of bisons, lots of cache maintenance, lots of sunscreen. A month is enough. I am glad to be back home. Except that now I have to write up my trip. We averaged just 20 caches per day, but that is still a lot of logging!

Merry Christmas from the Seagnoid!

Found without any problems. Nice hide. The log book is completly full. New one is needed. It is very hadr the log book to draw out of the micro container. This day I found 20 caches. I walked today the day circle walk from Paihia to Russell via Opua and Okiato. It's nice walking track. Greetings from Slovakia. Thank for the cache.

Tftc, good idea log full needs a new log roll

Neat, may have to steal the idea.

Clever hide, but the log is very damp. TFTC

Quick find - TFTC

Log full and damp. Great hide.

That is one super container! Unfortunately we could not sign the full and soggy log. Shame, and no room to add a dry log without disposing of the old. TFTC

log full and wet

Quick grab by Mrs canuck TFTC

Quick find. Not much room left on log. Tftc

Grabbing some quick finds while the storm goes through. Log is a bit mushed up.Tftc

It's another fine spring day, just right for a tour and we picked Russel

On our way we picked up some caches and ate truly happy about some more smilies on the map
Found well
Logbook almost.... full

Exploring the Russell peninsula this long weekend. Been here a few times before, but never down a lot of the side roads, so thx to the CO for placing these caches and taking me somewhere new. Clever little hide this one. TFTC

We caught the ferry over to spend a day seeing the sights of Russell and surrounds. Of course some caching was done on this glorious weather day.
Superb hide, loved it!
Cheers

Yay found it. Well hidden

#5431 - #1672

Great stash. It was not worry us for a long time, I was immediately clear what will happen. It was one of the more imaginative caches I could see in New Zealand. I'm sending FP.

Thanks for the cache.

Parádní schovka. Nijak dlouho nás netrápila, bylo mi hned jasné o co půjde. Byla to jedna z nápaditějších keší, které jsem měl možnost na Novém Zélandu vidět. Posílám FP.

Díky za keš.

Love the camo tftc

Quick easy find today. Nice park and grab. TFTC.

Today we spent the day on the Russel peninsula. We saw great beaches, fantastic bays and a deep blue sea. All caches we visited could be found well and safely. The coordinates and the hints were great.
A nice hide.
Thank you for all the nice caches Moorhelmi from Germany

This day we went with the ferrie to Russell to geocache. It was a wonderful day and the landscape is fabuleus. Two girls from Holland thank you for the cache.

What a sneaky hiding place. I'll give you a favourite.

Neat hide on a slight walk detour

I have seen a similar design in Ashburton. Cool. Quick find thanks.

Next part of the holiday, driving and walking around the Bay of Islands. Time to find a few little boxes.....

Thanks to the CO's for the hides. Cheers.

Pretty cool cache camo thanks LewisDB ! Could have proved tricky ; but luckily I had discovered one of these near Auckland recently !

Another find on my trek from Paihia thanks for the hide, I haven't seen one like this in the states before.

Up North for the holidays and we were on our way to Russell for the day. Noted a few caches on the route so had to make a few pit stops on the way. The GPS had us roughly in the right spot and once in view it was pretty obvious what the cache was. Thanks for the interesting cache and our first find in a very long time. TFTC

Found while out on a caching adventure. TFTC

We have seen these before so it was a quick find.
Chris & Renate from Ontario, Canada.

We spend more than 5 wonderful weeks in new zealand. It was fantastic. We saw wonderful nature, wildlife and met wonderful people. And Yeees we did some geocaching to get lots of information about the country and its sights. We absoluteley loved it. Thanks to all Owners for showing us what makes the country to you so special. HAPPY NEW YEAR. KIND REGARDS from Claire and Robby from Berlin Germany!!!

6 months of unloved for this darling is so awful, but today you are loved again.

I am well versed in this style of cache as whilst I haven't yet set my own, I intend to in due course.

A quick find for me and a fave for the unloved time.

The weather hasn''t turned out too bad! Ater yesterdays performance it's nice to be dry while caching. This cache proved no problem and I even met a C.O of some of the caches I have done this weekend while he was out walking with others: RussellSchool. Nice to have met you but he knew me from a distance! I didn't know he knew me... my fame goes before me I suppose. Hah hah hah.

Passing by for a walk and spotted a fellow geocacher! TB visits.

It was off to Russell to pick up a few caches today as I was staying in Ohaeawai for a few days.

Liked the camo job here.

Cheers for the cache.

Tftc!

Good quick find. TFTC

A great trail along the Bay. Thanks for this cache along the way

Just back home in UK from trip to NZ so now able to log our finds. Enjoying a stroll along the walkway and this was our third find. An unusual one! TFTC

Nice quick find - spotted straight away - nicely done, seen similar, but this was an interesting take on the idea.

TFTC!
