Together with ceklund55 on a walk around in this villa area, we are visiting our daughter who is living here for a while. Found it quickly, because it was laying wide open on the ground beneath the hiding place. We replaced it where we think should be hidden. Greetings from Sweden!

Good one:) once we get the hint;)

Found this cache on a little walk through Beach Haven. TFTC
 
This was actually one of our first ever caches found but for some reason got missed out being logged. Sorry about the late claim but was a good hide. TFTC.

Good Cache. My 7 year old found this one in about 5 minutes. TFTC
 
24-Aug-13
Up here today with Nova Lightning to see if we can clean up a few caches to try to meet our own challenge that we set ourselves to achieve by the time the MEGA rolls around.

Made our way down here to see what we could locate and following a search of the obvious structure we soon came up with cache in hand and another signed logsheet,can't be long now before we need to start heading home

Had planned a 'big day' with Cats&Dragons and we were trying to collect 50+ caches today.

It was an early start to the day (5.00am) or for steve just a normal start to the day. We headed up to Auckland and started clearing out the area.

This was a nice easy find before heading off to the next one.

Initially went with a different (but workable) interpretation of the hint that didn't produce any results. When I actually had a look at GZ itself the hint made perfect sense and the cache was soon found. Nice little hiding spot - TFTC
 
11-Aug-13
Good place, was well hidden - took too long to find it after all! Smile

Found by my son this afternoon as we cached around the North Shore today. Great hint thanks, I love cricket. TFTC Smile

I found this one this afternoon whilst out with SethRaven. Clever little hide. TFTC Smile
 
04-Apr-13
Not-so-quick find while picking up a few caches in the area.
 
01-Apr-13
Nice quick find, tftc

Another good cache find. SL TFTC
 
09-Feb-13
Figured the clue so a nice qwik find-tftc
 
09-Feb-13
Not a cricket fan but found quickly thanks to the hint. Im in the area improving the Leaflet map by adding the local walkways, etc. TF TFTC!!
 
03-Feb-13
We were in the area so we thought we'd stop and get this one. Had to wait for a muggle passing by with a dog, but the cache was soon in hand. TFTC.
 
03-Feb-13
In the area with Anastriel so we stopped to pick up this cache. A nice little hide. TFTC.
 
24-Dec-12
12.15pm. Fathomed the likely meaning of the hint immediately. Found same but the first casual look failed to locate the cache. Perhaps I was a little self conscious that neighbours maybe looking at me and didn't do justice to the search. Had a second more thorough search - regardless of what any neighbours thought - and located. Cache all good.

A very cool hide, nearly had me stumped (no pun intended)

18-Nov-12
Great hint. Found this while taking a walk around the neighbourhood after yet another tough innings by the blackcaps. No pen so will have to come back and sign logbook.
 
14-Nov-12
After finding a cache with my friend which was a previous DNF for me, I decided to return for this one too... having the extra set of eyes would be good.

We arrived, and for some reason, last time I had thought we were looking for a different type of container... I don't know why! But we still couldn't find the cache straight away. It took alot of searching in all the terrain 1 places, before my friend tripped over the cover, and saw the cache! Haha. Well, that's one way to find it!

We didn't really entirely get the hint, we kinda thought we had a general idea, but ah well... we found the cache, so no need to worry about it now! Haha.

TFTC!! Smile
 
04-Nov-12
I'm a big cricket fan so I understood the hint immediately. But even with that, it took us a little while to find it, very well placed, TFTC Smile
 
01-Nov-12
Been meaning to grab this one for ages as it's local. Today I had the Chickenpox Kid in tow and we got it while waiting for the chemist to open. Score one for The Kid! Fixed the camo up a bit as recent gardening had uncovered it. TFTC!
 
31-Oct-12
Found it quite easily, as the hint was bang on. tftc.
 
26-Sep-12
Easy find for us kiwiz@gz

30-Aug-12
Second attempt for this one. Not sure why, but just couldn't find last time. Fairly quick find today. Understanding the hint certainly helped. TFTC.
 
04-Aug-12
Soon spotted it.

TFTC
 
03-Aug-12
Looked for a long time but just didn't seem to be able to get the cache in hand. Will definitely come for a find next weekend.
 
31-Jul-12
Quick trip out to find a FTF just down the road while staying with friends near by. Easy find.
 
27-Jul-12
Took a while to search the area. But I spotted it in the end.

Cool hide, thanks for the cache!
 
13-Jun-12
Finally found this one; turned out it was exactly where I'd been looking, so was relieved to finally put my finger on it. Nice hide! Did not log as pencil needs sharpening, but will log and sharpen pencil next time I walk past. Thanks for the challenge!
 
10-Jun-12
Out this afternoon introducing a friend to the adventure. After much searching, it was oh whats that, awesome camo. CS was very impressed. Thanks for the fun and adventure. TFTC!
 
06-Jun-12
Returned today, needed to fill another day in the calendar, so thought this worthy of another go. Fortunately this time, had it in hand without too much bother today. Good hide. Looks like a nice walkway too. SL. TFTC. Big Grin
 
21-May-12
Tried today, but didn't really want to dig around the bark too much. Abandoned the attempt.
 
13-May-12
Found this one today after a bit of narrowing down of the hint by the owner. Still had to have a couple of looks from all angles before spotting it. TFTC
 
06-May-12
8.54 AM Sunday

Have lifted the rating to a 2 as 3dnf's, Seen the cache 15 mins ago in its original spot.

BTW On placement we were worried about this getting muggled but its been there since Jan 01 so we safely presume its hidden well enough. BTW Trust the GPS happy caching Smile
 
05-May-12
Hmmm, I coudn't find this one either. I think I found the hint object but couldn't find anything matching the cache description. I took some photos so will send the owner and email to check I'm in the right place.
 
17-Apr-12
Checked on the cache 6.30pm 17/04/12 cache is still very much there (will consider increasing the rating to a 2 if any more DNF's)
 
15-Apr-12
Understood the hint (I think) and had a good look around but no luck. Would love to know where it is.
 
30-Mar-12
5.50PM 30/03/2012 checked cache after yesterdays DNF .. Cache is exactly were it was on placement.

All AOK to find...cheers
 
29-Mar-12
Didn't find this one despite a reasonably good search of the places indicated by clue, but do not have a GPS. Took dog with me for a walk with best intentions but he insisted on barking the whole time I was there, only drawing attention to my apparent madness while fishing around in bark and dirt. Wide variety of mushrooms and bugs but no cache. Will try again next time I'm walking past.
 
07-Mar-12
Continuing on our cache a day trail, this one was the closest from home for an evening visit. Reasonably quick find with the help of the clue TFTC.
 
03-Mar-12
Afternoon stroll with kaz and saucerus... Coords spot on and saucerus had cache in hand in less than a minute... Nice hide TFTTFTCC Wink
 
03-Mar-12
Easy find if you know the hint answer Very Happy
 
03-Mar-12
Group effort... Smile TFTC
 
04-Feb-12
On a night-caching mission on the North Shore tonight. Took a bit of searching by torchlight before we spotted this one. Nice hide, thanks.

Im a cricket fan, so it was a quick find. Thanks.

Very quick early morning find while having to make a trip to the shore to pick up some essential items. Nicely placed cache. TFTC
 
19-Jan-12
This one had me going for a while but I got there in the end. That is today crossed off.

Cheers for the cache.
 
01-Jan-12
Woohoo a 1st to find on the 1st of the 1st Smile

The notification came through when we were already out caching (with Furbies and Missfeez) so decided to abort the current search and head for this one instead. Clearly half of the "competition" (who usually beat us there) were still away on holiday and we were lucky today. Thanks for the new hide.
 
01-Jan-12
Out caching with Furbies & Loz47 when this notification came through, my first FTF mission & with success!!
 
01-Jan-12
Happened to look at my emails to upload a 'pocket quiery' when I noticed this cache had been published and as yet no logs. Picked up Mr UGTME on the way and was just parking when another car with a travel bug sticker shot passed, and the hunt was on. In the end was 1st to park but not to find. TFTC nice to meet others cachers and Happy New year!!!
 
01-Jan-12
Well we were quite far away when the notification came through, But due to the holidays and the weather, we though lets have a go for FTF anyway.. Success. FTF with MissFees and Loz47. TFTC.
