By RussellSchool on 03-Sep-11. Waypoint GC33GZ3

Beautiful spot, took a while to find the right tree ( which is disgraceful after 4weeks in NZ)

Nice little spot.

Nice little spot. TFTC

A nice easy find for first of the day. Off to the flag pole next. TFTC

Found - Mrs McMike2012 & I now live full-time in our caravan & travel the country visiting places we want to visit & doing the things that we want to do we were visiting the Bay of Islands for a few days & we decided that we needed to explore the Russell area while here, we thought we should grab the two Ad Labs & a cache or two this one was easily found, albeit after a bit of an uphill/downhill climb, logbook completed & replaced pleased to add another 'smiley face' to the tally TFTC ... TN:LN:SL #5,037 for Us!

TFTC. First on Russell island.

Anchored out from the town today. Great day for a walk about the area and find a few caches. Thanks!

Hiking and caching go together. TFTC. SL and RAF

I was poking around in the trees looking for this geocache, when a man came by carrying gear. He is one of the guys who checks the traps for invasive species (not sure of his official title). He asked what I was doing. I told him I was geocaching. He immediately dropped his gear and offered to help. He said it would be good for him to know where the cache was so he could help people find it - hes in the area every week. He had it in hand within 5 minutes. He geared back up and wished us a pleasant journey. We awkwardly wished him a pleasant time removing invasive species. He assured us that he very much enjoys doing so. What a great encounter with a friendly local Resident. Thank you for placing this geocache. I am visiting from San Antonio, Texas. USA.

Had decided not to try this path on the way out as it looked like we might get wet feet but all well with the tide on the way back Fascinating rocks covered in "strange" seaweed and the remains of hundreds of rock oysters.

Came over to Russell on our lazy Noordam cruise from Auckland to Sydney. Lovely view from up here. TFTC.

Great to have a little rest and enjoy the view, cache safe and well. Thanks!

Found on Christmas Day, bit rainy,

Walking back into Russell having been out walking in the hills. Quick find at GZ and a lovely view. TFTC

Logged on my little walk to Flagstaff hill! TFTC TTLL#500 in 2023!

Thanks

During our roundtrip in beautiful New-Zealand we found multiple caches on both islands. This was one of the caches. To all caches owners: TFTC !!

Was fr eine schne Aussicht auf Russell.

Beautiful setting. TFTC

We checked the whole surrounding and found nothing. The last find seems to be very long ago.

It was there at the BOI Walking Weekend

Great cache and view. It’s amazing how many yachts you can see.

Found with stairman1. We heard a kiwi on the way in but couldn’t track him down. There are noisy neighbours above which might have scared him. Beautiful spot. We can see our Airbnb across the way.TFTC

Found with goldielover today lovely little walk.

Greetings from Netherlands

Staying in Russell for a couple of days we decided to do the Heritage Trails. Found this one on the way up from the town centre. We were muggled by an Aussie couple but I decided to keep talking and divert their attention from the open cache on the bench. I think I got away with it.
Dropped off the TB from Yorkshire

Easy find but difficult with the muggles!

Hmm

Tftc

QEF due to perfect hint! SL TFTC

Nice little walk down the hill and an easy find here. Thanks for placing.

Managed to sneak a window of opportunity between passing showers which have been going on for days now. Now to out wait the muggles

Tftc

Found it. Nice view!

I enjoyed the walk down from the Flagstaff. What a great spot.

Thanks Fullofun.

Beautiful view

With the BOI walking tour

Nice view!

Small but easy

Díky za kes

Beautiful view of Russell

TFTC it was a cool place to find but forgot a pen but we compromised and used mud and a stick .

Beautiful spot to stop at on the way down from the lookout, tftc

Thanks! Another great view

On a random Contiki tour through NZ and saw a chair that looked like a good spot for a cache, what do you know?!

Nobody around so darted along the path. Made a nice quick find. TFTC

After a few attempts (as the cache had gone missing!) we found it! Thanks for the great cache, we really enjoy the walk and the view

I was alerted that it might be missing. It certainly was. New cache in place.

Staying in Russell with friends we went for a bush walk, very peaceful. After a short look around the cache was in hand. Log us full. Thanks

Staying upon Russell with friends for a few days and this was an after breakfast walk. Lovely view from here. Of note : Full log and it was closer to the seat than I thought. Thanks for bringing me here, TFTC

TFTC. Nice and easy find, great walk

The first of the year, while staying close by for the summer hols. Long time sin e I've seen a traditional cache container!! TFTC

Another beautiful view! TFTC!

Nice bush walk with cache,seat and view at the destination. Park at the end of Titore Way and take Flagstaff loop track.

Nice geocache!

Great walk to this beauty. Forgot a pen so took a pic of the seat to show I was there. TfTC

“700” that took a wee while!!!

Tftc! Cool view of ferry from bench.

We have made hard work of getting to Flagstaff Hill with up hill and down dale to and fro paths, but it is all worth it for the exercise and of course bagging this particular cache. Thanks to the cache owner.

TFTC.

Found with family. eKitten found the exact location. TFTC.

#2 leaping! Glad we made the hike down! Tough hide. Nicely done! I think I must have touched it at least three times. It seemed like the perfect spot to keep looking and it was. Have to admit....RaptorKing350 was the true finder! TFTC!

Decided to take the beach route down from the flag and nice to have a cache near the route. This one took me a few minutes but persistance paid off. I'll give it a fav on leap year day! SL TNLN TFTC!

Took a bit, to find.
But we got it.
TftC

Had a search around but must not have been looking in the right spots

Had a good search but grumpy toddler meant we had to abandon. Worth the walk though!

Found, 15:38. The bent (!) Ti Tree.

Found today

Great to have a little rest and enjoy the view, cache safe and well. Thanks!

Fantastic view! TFTC

Nice stroll.

With two possible FTFs up for grabs in the Fladgate Reserve, the call was made for a quick trip north to Tapeka. It was such lovely spring weather today, so once the FTFs were successfully ticked off, I decided to look for a few more around the area.

After a short walk down the track, I was soon at the seat and shortly after, the cache was in hand. Signed the log and then replaced securely as found. Back at the car, I was amazed to see to large wekas close to the car, who were posturing and circling each other. Not sure if it was courtship of territorial defense. TFTC

Good hide! TFTC

Day 18 of our NZ trip. Over from Paihia today doing some walking around Russel. Good exercise on the way! Took a bit to find this small, small, but we did it. Last of the day! TFTF Greetings from

Quick find as the cache was partially exposed.

Found on a wet day, eventually walked Around from Russel along the beach and up. Sun came out just as we got there! Also 5 metres is very generous! Tftc!

Definitely makes for a good photo

Did this a 2nd time!! Great view from up here! TFTC

I'm from Switzerland and spend 4 months in New Zealand on vacation. Found this cache after a few minutes search, thanks.

Found quickli it blinded my camera ..should be hidden better!!!

Quite some walk up, but then a quick find. Our gentleman cacher (French cuff shirt, polished shoes etc) found the cache in no time at all once shown what a manuka tree looked like... TFTC

Lovely bush walk and great views of ferry from seat. Replaced cache here. 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..

Ihad found this many years ago - Brought Taybeedragon along so as not to have any of those nasty green splodges on her map.

Not found. Fränkies

Wasn't anywhere to be seen it was annoying but a good veiw

Had a look but couldn’t see this cache. Great view from the seat

Nice view, shame about the cache.

Sadly couldn't find this one not sure whether it's still here or wether we were not looking in the correct place
