Wooden camo found (I assume was for the cache) but jar not attached. Needs repairing or archiving.
No luck today. There is a brand new fence right next to likely hiding spot, so not sure if it's been disturbed or we're just having an off day.
Out for a Sunday evening caching mission with the Gadget team getting a few more nearer home. Tftc.
Found it in the rain, still having fun though!! Sure beats sitting at home getting bored. Camo long gone off the cache.

Having been completely befuddled by our wayward GPS which had reset itself to factory settings at the previous cache, opted to stick to a simple phone GPS for this cache. And guess what, it worked perfectly. Cache in hand and signed before you could blink. All in good order. TFTC.
Loved the name on this one as did cragger and laval. Nice quick find at GZ.
Thanks for bringing us here.

Today I joined forces with yorkshirekiwi83 and merlot58 for a few hours of caching over on the Shore. A nice easy find here, TFTC!

Went out with Vistra and Merlot58 for a couple of hours of caching, decided to continue to clear out the north shore and concentrate on a particular section, looks good getting the smilies around there.
Quick walk down the alley and put our hands straight on the cache, TFTC

I went along for the ride with Vistra and Yorkshirekiwi83 who were continuing clearing out the Shore. As for me, it was my first time in this part of the city. A nice quick find here and another smiley face on my map. TFTC
Today we had such a wonderful day of hiking and caching in this area! We just loved the way the residential area is surrounded by such wonderful natural habitat! A very great place for us to visit!
Thank you so much for showing!

Used this awesome sunny Auckland day to clean up the north shore a little bit. Discovered by a muggle which turned out to be a geocacher as well TFTC
A quick easy find today, especially as the cache was exposed. I signed the log before any muggles came down the alley and I put it back with camo carefully covering the cache. Nice to have a quick grab today. TFTC #195
In the only place it could be! As I was logging the cache, a muggle decided to creep up behind me without me noticing. Luckily he just walked past with headphones in his ears, obvious not interested in why I was squatting next to the 'corner'.

I was out for a Sunday drive and decided to call past this and collect this one. This turned out to be a quick and easy park and grab! TFTC
This fox was quickly hunted down night caching with FMZ. It didn't stand a chance!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Out for some night caching on the North Shore with slieschke. Spotted this one's front door straight away as it stood out to a cacher's eye. TFTC!!!
I had some hours to spare before I had to head off to the airport and home so decided to spend some time caching around this part of the North Shore. A muggle was right behind me as I walked into the alley so even though I saw where I needed to look I had to walk right past. At the other end of the alley I checked my phone, let the muggle pass and returned up the alley for a quick find. All good here. TFTC, Biggles.
The cache was not really well hidden so we found it quickly.
Signed the log and repositionned it the best we could.

Nice easy find for the family after previous no find for the cache at the New World around the corner.
Headed over the bridge after work this evening in search of a quick find for the August streak. This was just the ticket. All good here. Cheers for the cache placement!
A quick find for me today as I cached the North Shore with my son 2FLYTim. Cache is not attached to any camo just in there and covered. TFTC
After recently hearing and this week signing up for the geo licence challenge today was the start of the journey which could take a while as we only have 203 finds and 28 for all of 2012 and for the past 3 years caching. Well this was the first step 1 of 8 for today.

Shady spot to take a rest while biking.. Nice came. #181, 2013-04-14 at 12:57, TFTC
Great camo. Found today between visiting friends in Auckland. I'd never been to this part of Auckland - will return one day to explore further. Thanks for the cache - no muggles around this morning.
Were in the Kauri Park today for some doggish caches. Walked a merry and decent walk of 10 km.
Nicely hidden box. Left a coin here. Thanks.

While here we found this easily however a elderly muggler came from no where so I ended up explaining what we had been doing.
He seemed interested which was good.
Good find.

I got busted midway through the find and had to shield the cache while adjusting my shoe....hopefully it did the trick. Thanks for the cache barkingmadnz.
Quite a busy little alleyway of a morning !
Cache was in plain sight - the red Li making it easy to spot. Tried to conceal a little more when rehiding but would be nice if lid was more camoed !
Had to play "on the phone" "tie the shoe" and "send a text" to evade the many muggles this morning!

Parked campervan at the shoppingcentre to find a light for our pushbike. This little one was a closy...so couldn't leave it. Easy find
Very Foxie Alley we found while caching with Tuis Return for an interesting morning.
Out caching this morning with Butchie bum. Another quick find in a quieter area. TFTC
Was in the North Shore cleaning up a few caches as I managed to get another weekend stay over in Auckland.
After finding GC2ATNF - Sugar Lump (Auckland, North Shore), I managed to find my way back to the car without any issues and then it was a short drive from the Chelsea Heritage Park to this cache. Arriving near GZ I was able to find a car park on Porritt Ave, then it was time to find my way to the cache.
After a short search I soon found the entry to the cache and it was a short walk to GZ, arriving at GZ it only took a few seconds to find the hiding spot for the cache. Another great spot for a cache would not have known about it if it was not for Geo caching, thanks for placing this cache here and for binging me to this spot, TFTC TNLNSL (4781), This was the last cache for the day time to call it a day an go back to my accommodation, will look at seeing where I am going to go tomorrow, but I did enjoy my travels around the North Shore and picking up a few caches along the way, thanks to all those great cachers for putting out these caches for me.

Had to time my grab and sign between muggles using the path. One came down just as I was signing the log. I definitely need a high vis vest.
Yay! A nice easy as grab!
The alley was deserted as I went in, and I instantly spotted the well camo'd cache... but then some muggle decided it was a good shortcut to take! - So I pretended I was txting someone or something. And he luckily took not much notice.
I returned the cache, and then another muggle walked past!! Hmm... quickly stood there pretending to be txting again, as I still needed to fix up some of the cover... and then luckily, I was alone at last. Yay!
But then on my way out, this old lady was speeding up the road, and as I was doing m 3 pt turn, she almost crashed into me, and then blamed me for doing my turn there! Like what?! SHe shouldn't have been going 60 up the road... and I was already mid turn by the time she showed up! Grr!! Haha.

Out and about this afternoon. We pulled up, got out, walked down, and searched the CS came up with the goods on this one. Very nice camo. Thanks for the fun and adventure. TFTC!
Master Friwi found this one quickly but unfortunately found also something else probably deposited by the local fox who apparently does not have a master to pick up behind him... Nice camo, TFTC
Another day to fill on the calendar. Thank Goodness the rain cleared away and was able to locate this one on the way home. Clever hide. SL. TFTC.
Walking back to the ferry, this cache was just on my way. So I decided to give it a go. Thanks to the hint found easily enough. Very nice hideout!
Thanks for the cache!

Having not been able to retreive 'Chasing your tail' due to muggles, I needed another handing cache to fill in the day on the calendar. This one was close enough to run to, with out having to return to my car and drive round. Quick find. However while I was sitting down a bit further along to sign, an elderly muggle came passed, she stopped to check I was OK, and hadn't collapsed from dehidration. I managed to convince her that yes i was fine, even though I must have looked otherwise, with a very red face. Glad to now be able to head back to the car and home. TFTC
A great little urban cache - thanks!! No one in the area so we were able to make the find easily
Took the plunge, signed up as a premium member today and bingo this cache pops up just round the corner. I walk through this alley most evenings and had thought it would be a nice hiding spot. Love the camo. Tftc
TFTC love the camo

Out this afternoon to fill another hole in my calender. Loved the camo job, just so understated but truly effective.
Cheers for the cache.

7765 Wet wet wet... managed to out-fox the rain for a dry find in the alley, nice camo, TFTC.
Had to find without a GPS as the boys of the team have taken it South for the week. TFTC
What a wet night for a walk in the alley. However as this was not too far from home decided to give it a go for a FTF. Arrived at GZ but had to wait for some muggles walking their dog to go past. Yeah a blank log book.for a FTF . We have our own "foxie" at home (photo attached) but he likes to stay indoors as he now has trouble walking . Nice piece of camo. TFTC.
