Found

Seems the container is missing and the loog books are wet. Everything else is there.

Went during the night pretty scary but made some fun out of it great place to hide it

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

No container though

Looks like it's lost the container and bit moist.

A nice area to walk through and a good spot for a cache. Found quickly but it is in dire need of some attention. There was only a plastic bag with the rather mushy remains of a log and a screw top lid. No sign of any container to go with the lid. Added some waterproof paper to supplement what's left of the log.

bit of venturing , not too hard gps is off

No container wet

Awesome local find!

Found cache. Container is gone, only the lid remains. The log is very wet, and I unsuccessfully tried to sign it. Still had fun finding this cache. Also made a trade.

Container is missing, but found the log book!

I'm trying to get out for a walk to find caches when I can, but I'm quickly running out of ones that I can walk to. This one ended up being a 6km walk at sunset. Thankfully I still had some light when I reached the cache. Log was a bit damp, but I was able to sign. Took TB. Tftc

seems to be ok from reports. Logging to clear the needs maintenance log

It was easy to find and fun to find

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Out grabbing a quick cache to continue the 'streak' before visiting family for Christmas. No problems finding the cache, although it seems to be missing it's container, as mentioned previously. We swapped a TB for a charmander pokemon - one of my favorites Thanks for putting this here

Out and about with rattll on a hot day. Nice to explore a previously unknown bush reserve. Soon at GZ, found the remains of the cache, but the container is gone. The inner bag still intact, though, and all dry within. Dropped a TB. Tftc!

We came back again to fill the bag with pokemon!

Found the cache, however the jar is gone and just the lid and bag left. And paper is wet

Found it!

Fun walk and fun exploring around looking for this. We have added a frog

I put another piece of paper in but the container needs to be replaced

Took a bit to find as the hint says at the base of harekeke, which it is not, it is a cabbage tree.
Paper is quite damp and not able to leave details on. Requires new container

A nice quick find, after a wander down the track. The cache is in a bad way, with only the lid and the log still in play. I put them in a more hidden spot. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I cruised around Hamilton today. The weather was good for caching, and a bit warm for this time of year!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. .

We couldn't find it but had fun trying. We saw a green lid and a plastic cracked container about 5 meters away but they didn't join together so not sure if either are part of it

TFTC

Found however maintenance is needed. Log book in bag was next to cabbage tree have replaced in tree

Found it

So fun to find with friends a easy find and enjoyed it so much

Very easy find brilliant place.

Found it under a bin

Fun

Thanks, this was our first one ever. Kids really enjoyed it!

The hardest part was to find the trail to access then Quick find as per GZ and the hint.

Found it during late afternnon stroll in the area where I was staying.

I`m logging this cache as my 10072 find.
TFTC psychrn!

Dropped off TB
Log to follow

Awesome place to go for a walk and remember folks fibre is good for the sole...great geocaching spot

A lovely sunny day for a change, so we decided to visit the Hamilton Gardens to do a spot of caching, and afterwards went on to find a few more.
We were not too sure of the best accessway, but parked up and were pleased to see a way into the bush area. Followed the track down to a clearing, and immediately spotted the hint item. Nice quick find here, thanks.

TFTC nice and easy find

Cool place , forgot a pen hahah

It's was very fun to find

TFTC. GPS was bouncing around a bit but after checking previous logs one picture led me in the right direction. Full of fibre and cabbages now.

Yay lol

**#14,430**
Indeed it is a nice wee bush park to walk in on a warm summer's day, we parked at the top end and walked down to GZ, I was initially confused by the hint, a few 6 pronged items but i had never heard of a Karaheke, found it trying a couple of spots, I'm still not sure of the Karaheke and thought it was a Ti Kouka but there are often more names for the same thing??

This was a nice find on a wet afternoon. The cache is in great condition, thanks very much for the cache.

Thanks, good condition!

Cache had been left out in open so have tucked it back in where i assume it lives. Nice watertight container and cute green space to explore.

Awesome

Found

Looked for about 20 minutes did not find

Nice wander after completing another near by cache. Thank you for bringing me to this area and placing and maintaining Unknown Alley geocache from Mr Cuddly Brick
Found on this awesome day the 18 February 2021.

container is damaged and was found in open. log needs replacing.

This case is damaged and requires maintenance

Nice easy find. Lots of slugs and spiders inside. Log totally wet. Signed inside lid.

Very wet. Has a hole in the lid. TFTC

Took around 10 mins. it's hidden behind some broken logs at base of tree

yep took a bit

A bit damp underfoot, but a nice urban walk. Wet cache but someone has added a new piece of paper which I wrote on... TFTC

And another secret green place at the outskirts of Hamilton. Wet wet wet. Thanks for revealing me this place.

Tftc nice wee hide found with abcdf4

Nice easy find
But it is wet and hole in condition

Not bad for our first try. A bit hard to find and definitely needed the clue

A nice little walk through the reserve to the cache. A good hint and the cache was soon in hand. It is in need of maintenance though as there is a hole in the lid and as far as I can recall the log was damp. Tftc

Yay, finally found it, it's a good one, not too hard.

Beautiful walk. Cache lid has hole in it. Lots of slugs and crickets inside.

Navigation was hard but found it in base of tree

found 23rd October 2018 took ages tho because gps said 9 metres away when I held it directly over the cache. it's upside down damp log

Found easily. Has been placed upside down due to damage

Thanks, second one Lil found before me!

Quite an effective hide for such a large container. Dislodged a few slugs - interesting leopard pattern. TFTC.

Another intersting place tucked away in suburbia. Found after taking my time and having a proper search around. Time to head back into town now as it is starting to get dark, TFTC

Enjoying another day in Hamilton collecting caches and enjoying some walks. TFTC

Nice easy cache to find while exploring a suburban bush area.
Does need maintenance, unable to sign.

Wow....this has been here a while!
I recognise container from Auckland Mega!
Thanks for bringing me to this peaceful place.
Tricky entrance!
As everyone has said... container has hole in lid...so decided against leaving toys...
Said hello to Snail and Slater !
If anyone has left an umbrella here ; let me know colour and I will get it to you.

Tftc, very big slug inside

A lovely midweek visit to Hamilton to meet up with Sarahbee20 and score some caches in this area. We went to this park and enjoyed the slight hillwork required to locate this one. Shook the 3 huge snails loose from the container lid but I'm sure they'll be back in through the hole. Tftc.

Keeping up my streak of finding at least one cache a day this year. Kathykaches came over to Hamilton this evening to visit and we went out to find this one. This was a nice part of Hamilton that we hadn't been to before. Nice wee walk to GZ and KK managed to make the find. Cache had a lot of dirt in it and a few snails have made it their home. Thanks for the cache

TFTC found after rounding off my afternoon caching with JO_G

TFTC

Found while out for a stroll - what a lovely spot - thanks for cach

I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.

Today the target is only four. This is my fifth for the day and seeing that it was close to my previous one I just couldn't go past it without signing it off. I hate it when that happens - Yeah - Nah!.

Cheers for the cache.

We are here for the day to grab a few caches before we meet a friend for lunch and then head back to Auckland. This cache definitely needs a new container . . . . in saying that I cleaned it out and placed a new log sheet in a new little baggie . . . . not sure why those before me hadn't helped out a fellow cacher by doing this. I would've replaced the container but didn't have one that size with me today. Nice little reserve here, thanks for bringing me here today.

A quick grab and run

This geocache really needs to be replaced. It's full of snails and dirt!

A night mission to Hamilton with Philip.Perry and ApacheD. We only decided tonight to come over so didn't really have a plan of attack other than to start at one cache and just keep going for as long as we could. I did have a 7 am curfew which I made just in time then I sleeped half the day away. We learnt it's so much easier to cache at night no traffic no parking issues no muggles we had a fairly successful night and I look forward to our next night attack.signed logs PAD
Tftc

An impromptu all night affair with no muggles, no traffic and all the parking we could want! Set off with ApacheD & Davidsonclan around 7pm with a couple of sneaky Tauranga caches before starting the 'Hamilton Assault' It was a productive 10 hours in spite of the weather & DNFs. Signed our logs as PAD to save time and log space.
Cache found quickly thanks to a good hint and a straight forward placement. The lid is broken though and the whole cache probably needs to be replaced. Cheers psychrn, TFTC.

Found. It has a hole in the lid and smelt due to having worms, snails, water and sludge inside which covered everything. Took a photo as wasn't keen to dig around for a log book.

Found it but hole in lid no log book and no stuff

No log book

No log book in the container was hard to find but happy to find my first cache!

Cool park. Log is looking sad and need to bring own pen which we forgot. Couple treasures still in cache. Tftc

Tftc. There's a hole in the lid. No log inside.
