Been muggled again. Am in the process of replacing this cache with a new cache in a different location in the same park.
Have been looking at this one for awhlie but never came and looked until today. In the area and rememered it was there. Which it was. Cache seems fine, maybe just a little lonely. TFTC. 
Out with work mates & quickly spotted the cache. Another park we didn't know existed. TFTC
#11182. Just one more to get up to 10 finds for the day. Recent finds had been drive bys. This one required a bit of a walk, but we had some shade to take advantage of. TFTC.
After walking around the lake with mixed success caching-wise, we decided to do a few drive bys and short walks to at least boost the caching total to a more respectable number. This was find #10 after a hard day at the office.
A bit hot walking out in the open, but good to have some shade while searching. An easy find in the obvious place and a nice new container and log book to sign. Time to head to home base for a cuppa. TFTC.

Cache replaced this afternoon in the same spot. Son and I found three caches today and replaced this one - ironically, this was the only one that we needed to use the GPS to find!
Such a shame the cache has been left the way it has been. Nice little walk to find the cache and hopefully co will fix up cache for other finders tftc
The end of 2015 saw us take on a big couple of days of caching. At the beginning of the year, we set a goal of reaching 4000 caches by the end of the year. Towards the end of 2015, it wasn't looking too promising as geocaching got put a bit on the backburner for us as life and things happened. Come two days to the end of 2015 and we realised we were much closer than we realised, so set off to Hamilton for some binge caching to reach that milestone! Today was a day with a lot of more DNFs than expected and less numbers than we wanted, but regardless, it still brought us that little bit closer to our goal. 
No problems locating this cache, where the previous founder replaced it. Just upsetting that all the goods have been muggled.
Regardless, thanks for the hide!

Regardless, thanks for the hide! Found but unfortunately the cache has been muggled and left open and has filled with water and leaves. Found the lid further away so placed back on container and re-stashed for now. Will need maintenance and replacement.
There were a coupe of muddy places on the fields, which I carefully avoided on the way back. The find was quite easy. I looked for some extra camo, but didn't have enough patience with the storm clouds gathering. TFTC.
As some crazy fellows decided to do some paintball close by Vistra and I decided to use the valuable time for some geocaching in town. TFTC
Teamed up with alpenmilch80 this morning to hunt for a few caches around Hamilton before attending an event this afternoon. No problems finding this nice sized cache. TFTC!

A nice big park, with a good sized container . Note: no trackables in the cache today.
. Note: no trackables in the cache today.4.30pm - This is the first of the nutty caches we have found so will be back another day for the rest. SLTFTC
This our first geocache ever and we had such a good time trying to find it. it was exactly where the coordinates indicated. Good clue as well. Thanks
Squishy walk. Just as well I had boots on and not shoes. Lots of muggles moving around but timed arrival at GZ well. Needed strength to retrieve cache. TFTC...
Well that was embarrassing...! I wandered behind the stand of plants near the cache and stumbled (not quite literally) upon two teenagers cuddling and kissing...! I just ignored them and kept going in the direction of the cache - mighty good hide for the container too, might I add! Signed the log, went back to the car, the two now sheepish-looking teens now out in the open walking well apart from each other lol. TFTC (I think!)

Oops had forgotten to log this one. Had solved this one back when it was a puzzle so location was familiar. A good sized Park nice and close to home for me thanks
Great spot for a hide. I hope I don't get into trouble for finding the Nawton Series out of order, but I'm looking forward to getting the rest. Thanks
On holidays from the gc. Found with Kadins lil sister and her mum! Cache was a little exposed..
Well it was squelshy under foot and definately a case of been there before...but found it. TFTC
It was a bit squelchy underfoot as the weather is typical Spring weather - wet. However, despite that, it was a pleasant stroll across the grass and into the trees. Soon found a well-stocked cache full of lots of interesting bits and pieces. Took nothing, although we had a good look at the goodies, and signed the log. TFTC.
Today, I made another 30km bicycle geocaching excursion. As usual it was a bit late in the day and there were too many children around for me to look for many of the caches I planned to. Fortunately this one is fairly muggle-free; and nicely hidden yet quite findable. Thanks for the cache.
Nice couple of hours walk around some local caches today on a beautiful cold spring day. GPS confused again, but eventually worked it out, great hiding place.
Lovely big cache thanks---my poor boots are now a shade of brown after all the rain.
As psychrn and I had the day off it was time to attack some city caches. Got this one tftc
Such a large one in a well used park

Mum wanted to visit her cousin on Ellicott Road... The dog and I are on our own for a couple of hours.
The walk to the cache was wet and boggy under foot. Does this field ever dry out? Had some trouble getting a decent signal up here. In the end, had to rely on cache sense and a good eye to spot the hide. After a quick readjustment of the camouflage, soon had the cache freed and log signed. TFTC.

In Hamilton for the day picking up a few caches. Nice and straight forward as we had been here before. TFTC
8.00am. Took some time to find out where to access the park but once I got there it was an easy find.
Thank you. David.
Thank you. David.
Came to town early (on my way to see a mate in Tamahere) so I could scoop up a few of the Nawtons. Thanks.
A few groups in the park, but a sensible location meant they weren't a problem.

Whoops! We didn't read the cache notes right through. I took the bulky part of the costume thinking I'd make something and re swag it, not realising its purpose. I then filled the container with big swag, so pleased to see a big cache. My bad, sorry. I'll return it promptly and post a photo. We dropped a TB and took another, which I see hasn't been logged.
Don't worry about returning the fabric - no one has used it yet to dress up and take a photo.
Another great find on a lovely hot, sunny day
Quick search had it spotted - good big cache.

Finally got around to doing this one. Took some brand New cachers out for a night mission. Great fun. Great hide. They Will be back for more i think
Ooh this was a tad spooky in the dark! A quick scurry, find and log before departing swiftly! TFTC!

Well this was definitely deja vu, knew exactly where we were going. Miss Geckoh got the honour of dressing up this time - she was only sorry the eyes were missing! TFTC

Not quite nutty enough to try the costume on and besides nobody else there to take the photo.
Mny thanks
