Not another micro! (Hawke's Bay) Clive, North Island, New Zealand
By timbermills on 02-Jul-13. Waypoint GC4FCWH

Moved out of the HB and it’s time to retire this series

Not today

Decided to walked from the country park as it was a sunny warm day, took a little while to find, cords right on the mark. Cleaver hide. Cheers

Tftc. Geokid dropping trades

Replaced this cache and the log.
In town over the weekend picking up the odd cache with the idea of cycling along the the stopbank.
It was a cold start but soon fined up and was an awesome day thanks for the cache and the smiley.

hrabal jsem se v tom bordelu a vysoké trávě asi 10 minut, pak mě to přestalo bavit
na druhý pokus zase nic

Three days after the remnants of Cyclone Cook had passed we rode up this cycleway from Clive to Fernhill. We are a little unsure as to which caches we found on our way up so beg for indulgence if we have logged some and not actually found them. What was evident was the trees, blown over, how high the flood waters had been and how wet many of the logs were (to the point of being a mushy pulp. We thought we knew where one cache may be but there was a grumpy possum in the hidey hole so we looked no further and haven’t of course logged that as a find. It may be a good idea for cache owners to check their caches are OK. However many thanks to all those who have contributed to the trail. TFTC's

Cycling the trail on a sunny H.B. day. Spent way too long trying to find this one. So much long grass and thistles to look through, and still came up empty handed. Cheers.

This cache is now a new SMALL cache with a new logbook at GZ

Went looking despite the previous DNFs. Nope, no sign of it .

Couldnt get this today.

dont think this one is still around

CZECH
nenašli jsme nic
nechápu, jak můžou lidí něco takového označit jako fajn schovku, vždyť to je všude úplně zarostlé... díky tomu je toto snad nejhorší série, kterou jsem lovil

I found this with my dad (nickhbnz) ages ago but only just got my own account . Thanks

The Three Amigos had planned this trip over several weeks we had a lot on our to do list all the bike trails all the puzzles in town except one we haven't solved all the night trails and all the wherigos plus any trads in between. There was one thing we ran out of while here and that was time so I guess we will be back another day.

The rain arrived half way thorough the trail and we were a bit disappointed that some of the caches were missing and have been missing for some time looking at previous logs.
By the time we got back to the car after riding into a cold head wind and rain it was getting dark we were all stuffed maybe we should ride our bikes more lol.
Cut and paste logs for the rest.

We had planned a trip from Tauranga to Napier area for weeks now, and this weekend was the time to get as many caches as we could find. We called ourselves "The Three Amigos" (and logged as 'T3A'), comprising of myself, Philip.Perry and Davidsonclan. Leaving at 5am Saturday morning, we knew we had a long weekend ahead of us.

We brought our bikes with the intention of completing all the powertrails here, but instead we only managed this one by bikes - but only just! Excuse the C&P logs from here.

An easy find here today. Hardest part was getting up the bank.

A quick find but these stop banks are killing me Cheers Timbermills.

We've had this Tauranga to Hawkes Bay trip planned for a couple of months now and these caches were all part of that plan. The caches of this trail were varied, some clever, others not so much. Some were DNFs and others spotted from the track. This series was a bit of a battle at times, especially when the rain set in. TNXPro, DavidsonClan and myself have signed the logs T3A, an acronym from our messenger chat 'The 3 Amigos'.

Had a quick search around and then I spotted it. Let Jordis have a look for herself and she could see it also. Was nice and dry TFTC

Not wet today luckily! TFTC!

Was Dry and not quite where we imagined it. Decided after having done a series of caches in the morning we would tackle another set of caches along this cycle route. Not to be outdone by the very cold and forceful wind or the bulls along the way we managed to locate many of these both close by and down off the levee.

Really enjoying this trail thank you!!!

Not another one!

Sorry for the copy and paste logs, but we had a lovely day biking this track, we didnt see many people at all on this side, thanks for taking the time to place these caches.

Took a little time but nice spot

Nice

Quick find. A lovely day for a bike ride and cache trip. Thanks

Found after quick search

Nice sunny walk. Tftc.

Yip - not another micro. Took a little while to spot it. Thanks timbermills

Took a while, but found it in the end

Out on a sunny day with some of the Jr. Cachers along a bike ride power trail. Our last cache of the day and, due to over-thinking, it took a bit to find this one - despite the coordinates being bang-on for us. Great to get this one ticked off and a final ride straight back to the car. Thanks timbermills.

This one had me giggling, I sent my boy down for this one but unfortunately he had it in his head that the container would be like most on this trail LOL, so I had to head down and there it is! Nice and shiny! TFTC and the ribbing I can give my boy. he laughed about the obviousness of it all.

Good walk easy find TFTC.

Tftc. Easy to spot. Glad no water. Crisp apple hanging over fence near here. Shame not ripe

I often say that Small cache are not my flavort still another smiley

Many thanks

Awesome! Ftf in 2015, and our smallest find yet! Love it!

A quick easy find, at a different feature. TFTC

Took a while to find this tricky one...TFTC

Nice caches, some hides are very clever! Thanks and greetings from Czech Republic!!

Out on the walk today for an easy find. TFTC, SL, TNLN

new log and/or container in place

Doing the bike trail today many thanks for all the caches along here

TFTC

10YO was not allowed to search for this one, so 6YO could have a turn to find one. Dad guided 6YO, and he found it pretty quickly.
The weather was closing in, and everyone was starting to feel the cold, so this was to be the last cache for the day. Hopefully it won't be long before the team return to complete the rest of the trail.
Thank you so much - it has been a blast!

Another smiley on our walk. We decided to stay below the dam for the first four on our journey - a good decision in hindsight. TFTC

A nice ride on this trail tonight

Many Thanks

Found but VERY wet so will need to be checked. Have put a note paper there so we could log TFTC

Our last cache for the day. We decided that power trails aren't for us because we realized we were getting to the point where we hated having to stop and get off our bikes to hunt for another cache. Who would have thought we could EVER get to think like that!

Our last find of this visit. No doubt I'll be back in the Hawkes Bay to visit my Mum again before too long ... and nothing will be able to stop me getting the bike out and once more heading off to enjoy the wonderful cycle trails. Thanks so much for placing this string of caches. We had an amazing day.

good find TFTC

Another log book too wet to sign. Farmer Brown came over the stop bank as we were signing the log in his quad and lingered a bit watching tge suspicious goings on so a bit to shoelace tying went on to replace.

Found on an Easter 10km run with Jax479. TFTC

2 to go before the quick walk back to the car... thank goodness the cache was a quick find. Dry. t4tc

Nice hidden cache. Found it after few minutes being blind. TFTC

Visited the Hawkes Bay for the Mission concert. Enjoyed it a lot and then spent the Sunday to do some cycling on the tracks. Enjoyed it and found a few caches along the way. Some were tougher than others, gathered some sticking seeds from plants, cow at the GZ and even met fellow cashers. All up a great day. TFTC series.

Out on a bike ride with Mr TT, a bit drizzly but enjoying the ride, thanks timbermills.

The bear and Mr TT went for a bikeride today whilst Mrs TT went orienteering. Despite the grey, showery conditions, this is a great cycleway. Mr TT grumbled about the biddybids on his socks from some of the caches TFTC

Had a great walk on Waitangi Day together with two friends. We will come back to finish the trail soon! TFTC

I really enjoyed the walk, from the railway line end to the 'Power up' cache. I met a fellow on his morning walk on this track, and while talking to him I discovered that he was a shearer in a gang where I had worked in Wairarapa, 45 years ago. We both knew several people working there, though didn't know each other at the time.
I found 10 of the 12 caches, all quick finds. Thanks for the cache.

done and dusted quick easy find thanks

Maintaining all the caches along the trail, got to find it in order to maintain it!

Sorry for the very long delay on this one. New container is firmly wedged in place.

Last one for the day, had a big head wind out here now the wind has died, there goes the easy ride home.

TFTC

2 months and still no cache? Maybe CO should think about archiving?

Disabled until new container can be put in place.

I found the wire that the container was attached to but no container.

Must of been under the big pile of dead thistles, the only place I didn't look.

had to doge mower man in local orchard, should of found this if it was there -but that happens some times.

no luck here today

A quick early morning find, thanks for the cache timbermills.

I HAVE ENJOYED GETTING THESE CACHES, THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT, NOT TOO COOL, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. THANKS TIMBERMILLS.

And still they keep coming. Am very wet at this point so am looking forward to the turn around only a few more caches to go

TFTC

Been there!

Enjoying the walk with TuisReturn. Another quick find then on to the next one!

Great to be out enjoying caching with tmann421

Good day to be out walking

Thanks for the trail timbermills
