A nice walk around this area and a few caches found on our way. Once we figured out the right side of the trolls house to be on we made a quick find. Liked the way this cache was set up.

Grabbed this one after admiring the eels further back along the track. All good and like how the cache is attached to the structure, attracted!

We have our daughter up for a week and are entertaining as we go. It being the weekend it's busy as ever, and a trip out to Browns Bay was mrs capperz's choice of activity. We headed out and along the beach walkway, and back through the town before heading off to a park that mrs c had been to with my Aunt and Uncle last year sometime. Only a couple of cache options were available but 3 finds were made there, and I headed out to Te Atatu later in the day.

Took a bit of clambering in the undergrowth with Daddypig123, Geohound was supposed to be on lookout but he was more interested in leaving his mark on every blade of grass. Great hiding place (glad we didn't check the gallery first and spoil it)
 
26-Oct-20

24-Jun-20
Searched for awhile but found nothing that looks like the pic. Actually searched under the whole bridge and there was nothing. But sad for our first.
 
22-Jun-20
It was an easy first geocache
 
06-Jun-20
You can access it from both sides of the bridge, but not both sides of the river
 
30-May-20
It's great to be out geocaching again after the covid-19 lockdown. I'm down to visit the family. I've missed them since they spent the lockdown with us up in Paihia.

They had to return my Grandson's library books nearby and we carried on to this park. We went further up to the playground too. An interesting bridge and a easy find, thanks Smile

Great to do during lockdown.

Really good hiding spot, be careful of spiders
 
21-Mar-20
Great hint, hiding place bit dodgy in heavy rain
 
27-Feb-20
Interesting little bridge indeed. During my search, a motorcyclist ride over the bridge, and I got bitten by a mosquito. Otherwise, logical placement, one you figure out what side of the river you need to be on!
 
16-Feb-20
Hardy magnet with a clever clue!

After a lovely afternoon of sampling the local fare and the enjoying the company of the great grandparents in their new retirement village, we decided that we would try and grab a few caches while we were up this way, as we don't get to come here very often.

We had already found a cache on the beach-front, and since there were no others along the beach, we decided to try some of the more inland caches, this being the first one. With Mr. Kiwi navigating and Mrs. Liver Bird driving, we parked up across the road from GZ and Mr. Kiwi jumped out to grab the cache. Looking at GZ, there was really only one place that the cache could be hidden, so in he went. It couldn't be spotted in the first places that he looked, but then something caught his eye. Could this be the cache? A quick inspection revealed that, yes indeed, this was the cache. A clever little design he thought.

Anyway, the log was extracted and signed then the cache was replaced ready for the next cacher to enjoy.

#642. Tonight I went for a run on a mission to try and find trackables in preparation for an upcoming overseas trip. Trackables were located. And trackables were logged. And trackables came with me. And all was good in the geocaching universe.

It was very obvious where this cache was - you could see the geotrail to it from a mile away!

Thank you very much for the cache!
