Round Round Baby Round Round (Auckland) Auckland, North Island, New Zealand
By funkymunkyzone on 21-Jan-12. Waypoint GC3B4VX

Around about time to let this go

Looked everywhere

Had a good hunt around, I feel I looked everywhere.

Checked the three round things at the location but couldn't find anything. May be too well hidden, or it may not be there.

This was like going into a different world, All the drivers going past l must have been thinking “what the…nobody walks around here!”

Parked up by the road, while M13 and M23 made mad dash down to the cache M49 went and purchased a nice we dram of Mexicos finest.

YAY!

The trick was where to park a car!
TFTC

Mrs NZT and I had planned a day out and loosely planned to head somewhere north from home. We ended up in this general vicinity due to a multi final that brought us closeish to here.

We went round and round the roundabouts, parked up a little bit further away and walked back to GZ. With a few cars around we were grateful I found the cache in the first spot I put my hand - phew.

Thanks for the cache

Keylev and I decided to explore some of the north shore today. It was a very warm day and we enjoyed the lovely bays and secret walkways to the caches. A ladies lunch and coffee's rounded out a very pleasant day. Thanks for bringing us to this part of the world!

We certainly did go round round before we figured out where we would park to grab this one. Another case of tying an imaginary shoelace as cars passed us and we made the find. TFTC!

Last one for today, we walked to this cache from the nearby café. Quick find without going too much in circles TFTC

Really well hidden!

Really well hidden !!

I passed the cache location and am looking forward to returning to sign when safe from COVID-19. Awesome hide!

Be careful in busy times, great hiding spot tho

So clever! Tyfc

I don’t recommend finding this cache during a busy period. Cool hiding spot tyfc

Labour Weekend - Monday. With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... This long weekend has come at the right time for us. We are using the extra day to get a jump on the TMGT. After a whirlwind drive through Auckland and Northland, the TMGT caches in these regions are now done and dusted. Now we can focus on Gap’s job and a cache-drive through Hobsonville and Whenuapai...

This location was crazy busy - lots of vehicles rolling through here! We were pleased to locate this one on the first sweep. Thanks funkymunkyzone and TFTC.

Ha Ha, Sure was round and round baby. Was dropped off and made quick work between cars for the find. Managed to sign and replace. But then round and round and round my ride went. Was so funny but glad it's a smilie now thx.

Well I went round, and round, and round. I dropped Sue off to find this one but had trouble with the traffic when I tried to pick her up again. Not surprising when I came through here a few days later I recognised theses roundabouts. Glad to add another cache to our ever growing tally, thanks

Not an easy place to park
Easy find

Found quickly thank goodness thanks

Found 9.30am
Area very busy today but able to park off road very near GZ. Amazed that cache hadn't being logged since 16th December 2017. Quick sign and now off to work at our son's house. SLTFRTC

Round up. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about this afternoon for a spot of cache detection. With the main caching activity completed, I am headed back towards home. Time for a couple more smilies yet. This cache is one that I have driven by on multiple of occasions. But today was the day that I actually stopped to have a look. Made the short walk from the first available parking stop and executed a super quick find. Cheers for the cache placement!

We had our end of year office party at a near by restaurant today, and as usual I pulled up the geo map to see if there were any caches up for grabs. And when I saw this one I remembered checking it out online a year or so ago but never made it here. So after our function drew to a close, I made my way to GZ on foot and soon had the cache in hand. I have signed the log and put it back nicely all ready for the next finder. So thank you funkymunkyzone for taking the time to set up this cache. I really appreciate your efforts in doing so.

Parked over by the cafe on the old section of road, and walked over. Nice easy find at GZ, TFTC

Hot on the heels of finding the nearby Offensive cache, I wandered over to GZ and found this one. An easy find as I've found a number of similar ones before, but still a great spot for one that is obviously lasting the test of time. TFTC

Wow nice hide
Tftc.

Nice very easy find, was hard to look natural

Found with darkangel and Brandon. Parked just by the roundabout and sent darkangel out in the gap between cars to avoid suspicion. Quick and easy and took less than 15 seconds

Nice easy cache with brand0n97 and mikefnz. was an easy park and grab and knew exactly where to put my hand tftc

#26 nice easy find although I had almost run out of stretches by the time I found it. Log is unusable so I will endeavour to add some more next time I run past. TFTC!

Picked a nice quite evening when the road wasnt so busy found cache nice and easy !
Log needs replacing
Tftc

#237. Did the old sit down and shake out my shoes and socks routine next to GZ. Cache was in the first place I looked. The log is rather tatty and really needs replacing. TFTC.

Merlot58 and I decided to take a detour, on the way to her dropping me off at my house, to find the new cache on the Island at the far end of Brigham Creek. Coming around the round about merlot asked if I had the cache here and after saying no she said she'd drop me off and go round the roundabout further up and come back to pick me up. So I raced across the lanes and found the cache, but of course it takes longer to get the log out, so merlot had returned while I was struggling to sign my name. Nice to finally get this cache especially since it's so close to home.

Had good look around I see in July previous person said it was breaking up so maybe it is no longer there

I parked a fair distance from GZ at the wedding venue and hiked back, dodging cars all the way. Log is beginning to disintegrate. TFTC.

Glad I wore laced shoes today (: very easy find, the logging was harder cause I didn't know where to stand there or walk 200m back to the car. I stood there ha, oh well cheers (:

Out for a cycle, 4th find for the day...tftc

First cache woowhoooooo!

Back up in Auckland again for work but with a few hours to spare today I decided to go caching out West. After finding a nearby offensive cache I naturally walked round to this one. No problems here. GPS spot on and cache found in the first place I put my hand. TFTC, Biggles.

Fun to try and find at midnight to avoid muggles,driving around thanks for the challenge

I picked this for today's cache because it seemed easy but with a little walking.
After finding a somewhat dubious car park I walked down and spotted the cache as I approached roughly where I had expected it to be.
T F T C funkymunkyzone.

Once again nice and quiet until I decided to search for the cache, then everyone in Auckland said," Lets go round and round the roundabout." and they did, but managed to look a bit silly to anyone having a good look at me readjusting my sandals, right there but needs must.

I finally got around to doing some of the Hobsonville caches and as I went around, I thought I'd better get around to this one. A quick dash in an out between passing traffic.

#10669. A car and trailer were parked next to one roundabout (the mower from the trailer was nowhere to be seen) so we figured we'd park next to it. Quick find by Troodles once we got to GZ. TFTC.

A trip to Hobsonville was planned as neither of us had been to the area before, and there were lots of caches to find too . It was a bit tricky navigating at times as neither GPSrs had recent enough maps and there were lots of new roads to contend with, but we found 22 caches in all and just one DNF so a good days outing.
We found a good parking spot on the second round-about then walked to both this cache and the nearby offensive one . Didn't take me long to find the cache, after StreetWalker had tried and failed in that spot (the boot is usually on the other foot). Not a huge amount of traffic at the time, but I'm sure the drivers were too busy negotiating the round-about to take any notice of us. TFTC.

Nice find!

as it was night, parking was not an issue, quick find. tftc.

Quick good find. Bit wet from recent rain. Dried it out. Surprised as it is off ground.

I love these ones that need a little stealth TFTC

Parked up right next to the cache. Needed to wait a while for a break in the traffic before we could grab this little guy. Replaced log due to it being a saturated pile of mush. TFTC

Easy find

Hi I found this one on the 20/1/2015

Made master 5 wait in a safe spot while I had a look. Found quickly thanks. Drive around here a lot and have always wanted to stop. Finally had a chance today. Cheers.

qiuck driveby when it was quiet , nice quick retrieval and put it back TFTC

Very cool. Thanks

Nice

Couldn't find maybe easier at night

Good parking at The Brigham, then a short walk and quick find. TFTC.

A busy roundabout but a quick find so we weren't lurking for too long.

Found the scull

#4 offensive find and im getting more offended but good find TFTC

Fairly easy for Sunday

Found originally as part of Rebel98 team, now created own account, re-logging as rustynz

Not many cars about on a weekday, and its the school holidays. Had parked creatively, and made my way to GZ, log signed and we were on our way.

Should have let the GPS guide me, rather than I march over to where I think it should be! Did a zig zag walk to GZ and quickly had my find. A bit worried by the traffic, but its school holidays and its a fine day so they were busy with other things. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here.

Great location - and you are right I was a bit self conscious as the cars went by this morning!

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Found it with some other friends out with us. Also looked for the three offensive caches along Sinton Rd with GeoMaster480. TFTC

Found with a group and logged as HPSS

Found with a group and logged as HPSS

FOUND IT

Easy find very late tonight, people non-existent, just parked in the round about and waltzed to the cache.

Prity tricky.

cool

Another after work, biking trip, 30km round trip tonmght
Nice and easy at GZ
TFTC

Awesome find. We looked very suspicious

A quick park and grab out night caching with alpenmilch80 and the CO after searching the right one. (I didn't realise it was his at the time!!!)

I have to laugh at the "round tuit" on the background image on this cache page! ;D

Thanks!

The power of deduction...

An easy find......but the logbook is totally out of order, only by looking at it it's falling into pieces! I put an additional piece of paper in the small container.

Greetings from Berlin, tftc

Found it!!!!! Great fibd

Nice quick one...cheers V.

Whoo hoo another nice quick find on our walk

Back from Christmas in Warkworth and still needed a cache for the day, luckily this was a nice easy find, tftc

Partner went round and round while I looked he ended up jumping out and finding it

Busy road found the cache ok.

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.

Dropped Nova off to do the find, 5 circuits of the round thing, back up to the other and back down as Nova jumped in the car and we were off once again

TFTC

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.

A quick stop and I started the search while steve went round and round and then some more.

TFTC

Took a little while. Mind the mud!

Tricky parking ! Nice and quick thanks ....

Enjoyed today a long and exiting caching day out in Hobsonville with KiwifruitsNZ and Vamber.

Another quick find today. TFTC

This cache formed part of a joint attack on the Hobsonville area by KiwifruitsNZ, Vamber and alpenmilch80.

Parked the car, walked down to GZ and managed to secure cache without too many muggles.

#1487

This cache was part of our day full of caching of the Hobsonville area with KiwifruitsNZ and alpenmilch80.

This one had us singing the Sugarbabes song on the walk towards GZ. The round cache container was quickly located.

TFTC

Found this whilst hunting the local caches!

This one definitely makes you self conscious.

A very nice find while in the area.
Really enjoying the great weather as well.

Soon located this cache. SL TFTC

Littlefella got this quick, his radar has developed well! Cheers, tftc.

The safest place that I could find to park was in Kauri rd. So it was a little bit of a walk to find this one, but interesting none the less. I initially had no idea where this one could be hidden, as the traffic was going round and round all the time. I found it in the only round place there was left.

Thought I should get around to this one today
