Coordinates appear to be rather out given the clue. Rubbish was strewn all about GZ and quite honestly I wasn't enthused to continue searching any further.

Full of rubbish and very wet. Not a good area.

Not a nice cache to visit. Full of rubbish and wet.

This cache should be archived immediately. It is an area full of junk. Junk everywhere. We have stepped over a lot of junk to get to the cache. The cache was in a open box, without a lid. (which we found a couple of meters away). THe log was soaked, that is why we know for sure it was the right box.

With the complete description, easy find for a 1.5 cache

Had to wait for the muggle-bus to redistribute the enemy from GZ, but after their removal it was an easy find. TFTC.

To keep our daily finds going we needed to find a cache today and this one was on our list. We did drive past this spot the previous week but there was a muggle sitting in the bus stop so moved along. We collected the other cache close by instead. This time and in the day light the find was relatively easy by using the hint. GPS was a little erratic today. TFTC.

Quick find while out doing some cache maintenance. Didn't need the GPS. TNLNSL TFTC.
Cheers!

A nice easy one once you think about it (or read the hint).
TFTC!! Wink

I'm pet sitting a friend's dog this week, so took her out to find a few caches. She's a bit of a spaz and not much of a chacher, but I managed to find the cache and sign the logbook. TFTC!

I saw this one pop up on night of publication and gave a little bit of thought to going for the FTF, but, instead, I went for a FTF out Piha with FMZ and decided to save this one for a gap in my caching calendar matrix. Bought the whole LC team over this afternoon for a play in the playground. Didn't bother putting this cache in the GPSr as the stated coords are clearly out and the description looked clear as a bell. Indeed, I followed my nose for a super quick find in the end. Cheers for the cache!

Thankfully AV2 had looked at the satellite maps before leaving home as the coordinates for us were 17m out. The given coords took us across the road and to a private property. Starting over and using the clue and satellite map knowledge, soon found a likely position and then the cache. If it helps for future cachers, our GZ coords were S 36 51.855, E 174 52.011. TFTC.

Nice and easy. Took a brief walk from my house to find this new cache. Nice hiding place and clues.

Saw this one about an hour after it came up last night, but I had just finished work, and was now hosting a study group, so couldn't exactly get up and leave...

Decided that I it would be found by now anyways, so checked, and to my surprise, nope! Hmm... well I thought about an attempt as soon as I finished study group, but I ended up staying so late that I would just get the cache in the morning. I mean, if it hadn't been found by 10pm, what was the chance of it getting found before 7am?

So, early morning, 6.20am, alarm went off, and I zombie-checked the computer. Nope, nothing, so I grabbed a V, and raced out the door.
Should have drunk the V before leaving though, as I took about 30 wrong turns first, just trying to get out of the city centre! Grr! Haha.

Then I was at the cache though. But there were so many people at the bus stop! So I decided to wait them out... while I was hoping for our good ol' public transport system to be reliable...

Only had to wait like 10 mins, though, and I was over at the GZ pretty quick after. Had google mapped the location already, and decided to go by the hint instead of following the GPS then, and that proved the right thing to do! An easy find then actually, having google mapped the place already!

Opened the log, feeling like I would get a heart attack, and as I looked at it, I got a lovely surprise!!! YUS!!! FTF!!! SmileSmileSmile YAAAAY!! Smile

So signed it, and replaced, trying to then get home in rush hour traffic back into the city as fast I could before my early morning class...

TFTC!! Smile

Got the notification of this new cache last night but decided id wait till today to find it to fill a blank spot on the calendar. Arrived close to GZ and realised the coords were a little out but with the aid of a well detailed hint, i spotted the cache. Forgot to grab better coords as a bus pulled in just as i was about to head out of the flax. No problems with the find though! TFTC! Big Grin
