Last one of nine caches located today on day 5 of our motorhome summer holiday to Hawkes Bay. Went for a bike ride from Awamoto, along the coastal cycleway up to the port and beyond, picking up seven caches along the way. A quick find on my return leg. #3667. TFTC.
Great wander today for me even though a tad windy!! Nice to have a reason to walk around here. Many Thanks.
Didn't find it first time,
Gave it another try on my way back.
And found it!

On a weekend road trip from Wellington to Napier to see sir Elton, and finding a few caches on the way. This was one of them. All good here, TFTC
We were on the quest for a Kiwi Guardian post and this cache was on the way, so bingo. Cheers
Found with a sister during our expedition to NZ (from CZ), where we explored part of the North Island and could visit our classmates and friends that we have not seen for several years, as it is here, in Auckland and Napier live ... Thank you for cache ...
quick find out stretching our legs after driving down from rotorua. tide nearly full and a few pukeko and grey heron around. tftc
#922. Heading to Taupo today, but first to do some Museum Mystery gem caches that I flagged yesterday due to inclement weather. Found the cache uncovered at GZ, and then met a near neighbour from Wellington when signing the log. Covered up the cache when returning it.
Tftc Graham 7243. First of 2 of yours I found today!

The first geocache my wee man (3) and I have found. Ecstatic! Looking for your next one 
Easy find. Watch out for the blue plastic bag filled with dog shit. Some people are gross!!
Tftf! Lots of wee treasures which the kids enjoyed. All safely back. Again, forgot our pen. Need to be more organized lol
Replaced as found, even though it doesn't really fit the hint, because it is the only cover for the cache. Tftc
GPS was a bit jumpy and had to wait for a couple of muggles to walk past but bird found it quite quickly. TFTC
Very nice esturay, which I never had known of, if there wasn't this cache.
Thx for showing!

This area is lovely. Really beautiful. One of our last caches for the day and the light levels make it even prettier. Thabks for bringing us to this lovely spot. Tftc.
Great hide on a beautiful day. Walk to the cache is perfect for toddlers. Scenery is beautiful. The visit has inspired us to return. TFTC.
A very high tide today and not many birds about. Found cache out in the open. Covered when rehiding.
We were staying in Napier for a wedding and decided to fill in some spare time with a pleasant walk around the estuary, with the bonus of a cache thrown in for good measure. Nice!
Decided to do a circuit of Napier today. Very hot and sunny so not the best thing to do but did it any way. Visited the Botanical gardens and harbour first then came here to see the estuary. Nice area and easy walking with a bit of shade. Soon found this one while it was quiet. Many thanks for placing
On the road for our first venture into the North Island with our little caravan to explore this part of the country. It is not a caching expedition as such, but we do manage to stop for one or two . We’ve been on the road now for 16 days since arriving in Wellington and have made it to Napier. Had a variety of weathers, but mostly ‘good’, and have already seen and discovered lots of interesting things about our country that are new to us. Our travels brought us to your cache, as we travelled north, many thanks, GRAHAM 7243, for bringing us here. We’ve had great fun so far and look forward to finding a couple more caches as we travel on our way. TFTC.
I've walked around the estuary quite few times but it's too hot to walk all the way today. But a short walk to GZ was quite pleasant. The find was pretty easy thanks to the explicit hint. TFTC.
Took the boys for a walk in the rain as nanna had to go to the doctors. Cache was a few hundred metres from where we were staying. No problem in location and retrieval
Back on the bike to do one of these trails around the estuary. Pleased it was a quick find, lots of muggles out before the day got hot. Cheers
A short walk from Humber Street to pick this one up. Quickly located once at GZ. TFTC. Cheers 
A bit behind with the logging - on a 3 day caching adventure with rustynz and gorby 
Made a detour to this track, walking past a group that were going out in their waka ama 
Once we found the right tree, it was rebel98 who spotted the cache, and the log was soon being signed; loving the board walk and the wetlands, a lovely way to start our adventures in Napier! Thanks for the hide

Flew down from West Auckland with some Westies. Rebel98, rustynz, merlot58, Aiden29 and Mr and Mrs Jag50, we have planned a rough plan to cache until we drop more or less, for 3 whole days. 2 vehicles for us, me and rusty and rebel are in one. The others are doing their own thing.
Last cache before my lunch time event at cafe DMP. Came along here with rusty and Rebel. Love the estuary here and the walk around it. I started a search here and got rewarded by a pointy stick in the face and a fair amount of blood oozing! Never mind, that's caching! Rebel found the cache on this one, now off to my lunch time event!

Just a quick walk around this beautiful Napier estuary after staying at the Weka Point Scout Camp for a Waitangi week end geocaching event. Easy find, thanks to the good Co ords and clue. Cache all good. Didn't quite beat the rain, but it was stunning watching the weather coming in as we were walking and we didn't get too wet. TFTC
