I am permanently disabling this cache as there has been muggled to many times and I cant keep renewing the cache.

Thanks I hope the ones that got to find this cache enjoyed it!

Owner will investigate cache whereabouts or replace it thanks

I hunted all around for it . Is it still there? I know my family found it a long while ago.

Lots of DNF. Is this still there?

Quick search, muggles playing soccer as sch hols.

Might have been moved as we searched for a while, it hasnt been found in a few months and everyone who did find it previous to that said it was easy. DNF

DNF, looked everywhere, Muggles and school made it difficult but in the end left.

searched and search but DNF

Cracked nut but found nothing. Busted by teachers leaving meeting (school holidays) one who called encouragement. Dnf

Saw a screw without a nut, assume that's the location of the missing cache? Or maybe it was there and we just didn't see it?

The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
An easy find, but it would appear that some pens have difficulty writing on the log... so a photo is attached.
TFTC.

Good hint

Very clever!

Wow was a really small container!

Junior geocacher loves nanos and found this before I had the GPS set. TFTC. Good time to come in the school holidays

It's tiny but great location

Very clever!

Hahaha nice. Very well hidden

Hidden so well done!!! Best one so far. Don't give up!!! It IS THERE haha

Found easy .. Second time anyways haha

Not that hard to find

Almost was a dnf! Had to wander away three times as late working teachers finally left for the day. Great cache though, thanks!

Quick park and find - cache could be a bit bigger though so that TB's could be dropped in it. TFTC.

Omg our first nano!! Yay cool find

Out for an evening cycle and found this one finally. T4TC.

Found it. Amazing cache, very creative. We got a few people looking weirdly at us as we were looking but there isn't much to hide behind. Loved this cache!

Good hide.

Great find with geo puppy in training

I was a bit nervous walking to the cache as it seemed as though everyone was eyeballing me!
My first nano!
TFTC

Another DNF [?]

Found orginally as part of phasevisitor team, now created own account, re-logging as yorkshirekiwi83.

We were in Hamilton for the day and stopped by this cache on our way back home. All very quite around here on a Sunday, where we made a quick find of the cache. TFTC!

Quiet spot on a Sunday afternoon. Quick find, TFTC.

Quick find...TFTC

Cute little find. Almost a dnf. New logbook, first name. Thank you for this clever hide

10266… Logsheet full, the high fence enclosing the nearby court didn’t keep out some muggles. Saw quite a few scaling the fence… guess they weren’t too worried about what we were up too then. TFTC.

the log book is full now and needs replacing

awesome day for a walk with my little boy. The log book is full now and needs replacing... TFTC.

My first find Last day of the year, and no-one was around. The log is almost full (2 spaces left) so I might be the last on the list from 2012. Very cool microcache, and very cool to find it! Many thanks.

Very happy it was a Saturday as there was no-one about. Nice looking school and a great place for a cache. Thanks

Easy driveby. Thanks.

Was in the area and decided to look for this, realised I didn't have any writing instrument in the car.

After a quick drive to a local service station to get a pen, headed back to find the cache.

First time using my phone to find a cache, took a little to settle down and point in the right direction, found cache, signed and headed off.

TFTC.

Quick find (now that we know what we are looking for). Nice to finally log this as it was one of the first caches we tried to find, and were originally unsuccessful. The log is nearly full and will need to be replaced very soon. TFTC

Very quiet here today. Great hide and quick find.

Had a nice day geocaching my way from Hamiton to Auckland. Found this cache easily. SL TFTC

Checked yesterday the log is still in the cache, no maintenance required.

ticked this one off the list clearingout hamilton

Found evidence of the cache but no log book, muggled?

TFTC

TFTC nice and easy

#305 @ 09.31pm - Great idea for a cache location; didn't even know this school existed. Loved the walkway and the location. TFTC

Out for the night with Z-master, finding some old and new caches. #3 for the night.
TFTC

Quick find after the school kids when home.

Sneaky hide

tftc nice quiet afternoon in the school holidays

All quiet here this morning - quick find walked up through the school TFTC

24/6/12 @ 11.09am - Quick find while Mr G parked the car. SLTFTC

This one drove us nuts but we managed to crack it in the end!

A few muggles here today so waited for a window then it was a quick find!

Nice and easy find t4tc

Found it thanks.

TFTC! Unable to initial as no tools and fat fingers lol

Nice new school.

Very small cache

A little detour on the way from kids' sport. Nice hide! TFTC

Very nice place and cache

Very nice place and cache

really easy to find. good fun. first geocach found

Unexpected amount of school sports going on in spite of it being holidays. All too engrossed in hitting the ball about to pay me any heed though. TFTH

Just a few people playing tennis, but figured they had their eye on the ball.

TFTC

Had to visit the school on a Sunday to pick up sports kit. Not too many people around and we used the guise of kids wanting to have a close-up look at the structure. Nice wee hide. TFTC
KatyAndScott and the kids
Cache find 155 for us

Went out very late last night, so no problems with the mini muggles for us. No way we would try to do this one during a school day. TFTC

Haha tricky lil hide this one was TFTC

found. tricky little blighter

First time I had been up here to see the "new" Hamilton school. A sunday is definitely the right day to attempt this one.
Many thanks

No luck today have another go next week.Tried every bolt in that middle roundabout and just cant find it.

Late-night/early morning when we visited Te Turanga O Koura. The perfect time for this sort of hide. Spotted the little cache by torchlight after only a brief search. Sneaky hide, thanks.

# 5208

Last one of the evening in the fading light. Thanks go to Dazzie and his torch. TFTC

Tricky little devil. TFTC

This is the second primary school in the area to use this name. The first was on the corner of Rototuna Road and Cate Road and was open from around 1881 to 1938. It was later taken to Rotokauri where it burned to the ground in 1948.

At 7:49 on a summer sunday morning, mist just starting to rise, not a soul around.

Quickly found. Thanks for bringing me here

Easy find but that was only because no-one was around on a Saturday afternoon. Would be very tricky on a school day. Thanks very much marshallfamily57

Took a minute to narrow down the exact location - but quickly retrieved, signed and replaced and we continued on our way towards the 52 cache power trail that marked our last leg of this mammoth day out

Found on our 24hr caching mission, Cache-A-Tron - Auckland to Hamilton and back again. Getting down to our last couple before attacking the 52 cache pick up power trail series on our way home. TFTC

Found on our 24 cache-a-tron mission from Auckland to Hamilton. soon had cache in hand, then moved onto the next one!

TFTC. Took a minute or two but soon had cache in hand. Great Saturday afternoon.

Nice and easy thanks

thanks for the nice cache

Lucky we were here on the weekend or it would have been impossible to even attempt a search. Looks like a very well equiped school. Good little hide TFTC.

Tried a while back and couldnt find, came back this time with miss cosclan and she had cache in hand in about 10 sec
TFTC

not quite as nutty as expected, though nutty enough to get RadioNut50 prone!

Quick find before the schools get back and I have to sneak around at night looking suspicious.

Fourth hunt of the day and third find. We're really enjoying this! Things seem quite obvious, but again, a different vessel so made it harder as we're not aware of all the different ways to hide things. Signed the tiny register - Liv.
