Found while cycling the River Trail on a wild windy afternoon. Its great to see the substantial growth of the natives planted along the trail. TFTC
Why I pay attention to met service I do not know, the weather report said it was going to be drizzle in the morning before clearing, so mucked around at home before heading out at 10ish weather was good, many dnf logs which was a pity but also 13 founds which was much under the 40 I had wanted to get, not to worry enjoyed the finds and some very well put together finds, sorry about the copy and past logs but a very big thank you for putting the caches out for us to find.
Parked car and lucky no muggles around when finding the cache. When returned after finding a few nearby there were quite a few dog-walkers and cyclists. TFTC
We are down from Hamilton for a wedding this afternoon, which gives us time to explore this walkway area - and cache, of course. As we looked over the edge we disturbed a white spoonbill(?) that was settled on the water weeds below. What a shame we hadn't approached with more stealth.
Soon wandered across to this from our walk by the river and a quick find once at GZ. TFTC
Now for me, this is what micros are about! Brought back memories of finding a micro at a train station with the friend who introduced me to geocaching, so thanks for placing.
Thanks for the Cache, our first on our bike ride to Paraparumu this afternoon. Nice winters day 
.
.Watching the nephews soccer game nearby so decided a short walk was in order to grab this cache and get some feeling back in frozen limbs! Kapitikid had already found this one and as we approached MsKK said she already spied the cache, I did too a short time later and between muggles was able to sign the log.
The cache has lost its O ring and it was a bit tricky to get the lid threaded back on, but log in good condition. TFTC!

Cache # 2,534 - a quick find after sundown tonight. Easy retrieval and signing of log. Rubber ring on cache disintegrated on opening, but cache should still be watertight. TNLNSL. TFTC!
Had a couple of days staying in Paraparaumu and manged to get quite a lot of caching time. Fair bucketing down for a good portion of both days - hence some very very short logs in an attempt to keep the logs as dry as possible! Thanks for the caches, neat area to cache in.
Said sporting facility currently looks like moles have been very busy with long runs of drainage woks all over it. Managed to find a cricket ball as well as the cache!

Macfam41 found it with Diesel. Had to go out of our way to get this one but good hide. In the end the clues made this a quick easy find. Tftc
Nicely hidden away, but a quick find while we were cycling the nearby trail
Thanks for the cache

Down for maintenance. I have removed the cache temporarily and will replace the cache and change the location slightly. Check back in a couple of days.

Sunday afternoon and the weather changed to sunny. Came to chick out the pitch and had fun by the river scrambling on the boulders and dipping our feet in the cool river. Cache found fairly easily. Lovely quiet spot. TFTC cool
Quick find today with Tyler. Cache is still in perfect condition with plenty of space left on the log. TFTC SL
I really liked this cache, it's in a very nice spot, saw lots of baby pukekos!
Nice quick find today while out and about with Princess-Emily and tmann421. TFTC
nice, second minest cache ive found, forgot to bring pen so will log another time
Thanks for the cache. I found it at 12:37 pm on 9/09/14. Quick find after volunteering at Greendale Reserve nearby. Frightened a rabbit while typing log!
When I saw it was a nano, I thought no, but the cache was so closeby, that the decision was made to go for it.
Cache found very quickly, but not so easy to retreive. I was lucky, the logbook is full but I managed to get my initials onto it without having to unravel any, then the hard job of putting it back into place, but eventually done.
Thanks for the cache. On holiday in Waikanae from the UK.

TFTC! So cute! We wrote HF75 instead of our whole name so we could fit it in one line
Finding was easy - the difficult part was extracting and completing the log. We came here by bike via the river track - a very pleasant ride. Tftc.
It is very good, and far-sighted no doubt, for the good folk at KDC to make an investment in this piece of dirt. No doubt the previous owner also applauded the council's decision to do so.
Once we reached GZ we made a straightforward find. Although we were a little strung up by this stage.
Cache in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
From here on in the day just kept getting better and better!
The Turtle strikes again!

Quick and easy find whilst biking around Kapiti on hot sunny day. There were a couple of guys and a grader preparing the ground for development and unfortunately it would appear a plover has nested in the vicinity and was not happy with the two chaps, so continually swooped down towards them trying to get them to go away. TFTC
Son reckons this cache is pretty cool. TFTC. Forgot a pen which was a shame. Will be back to update log. (2nd cache today...)
A reasonably quick find. I was replacing the cache when the owner of nearby house came striding down the paddock to see what I was up to. She seemed very worried that I might jump the fence and trespass on her land. She and hubby have noticed rather a lot of visitors and was worried we might dealing drugs, planting marijuana or some such nefarious activity. I recommend discretion. There is no need to venture onto private land. TFTC
Truly nano! I should followed instructions and bought something other than a blunt pencil, but ah well.
Was funny watching mrs ff trying to find when was right in front of her not very happy when I just walked over and grabbed it lol TFTC
Nano cache 
had seen a similar one in town so knew what it was! Met wildsalt nearby, first Geocacher I have come across, great to chat to you!

Had to wait for a nearby farmer to drive his tractor out of view. Got it in the end, cheers!

Time for one last cache for the night, found by torch light - clever little hide. TFTC

Was coming here to catch up with a work colleague - and there is a cache right next door! TFTC
Quick find, but I had to wait for about 10 minutes to replace it, too many muggles TFTC TNXPro
