Wooden Wall, Hamilton Hamilton, North Island, New Zealand
By MillsandLills on 19-Nov-13. Waypoint GC4TBT9

People are now tipping their garden waste where the cache is so it is not a nice place to go and find a cache in.

Came looking for this final today, in the company of a previous finder. Definitely not where it's supposed to be. May have been buried under garden waste that's been thrown in. CO check, please?

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Got the co rds but not cache

Was out with dmkw1 and after having a good look/dig around the final location we had to call it, will be back to find this one

No trouble with the intermediate waypoint today but could not find the final. Will no doubt be back and fully expecting to feel a little stupid not to spot it first time around

Nice to come here and make this little multi find today.
Cache found in a logical spot. Pretty muddy round here when you leave the path...

Found by oll

**18,742**
Nice to have been able to complete this multi - short stroll to GZ and the cache was in the obvious spot. TFTMC

Over in Hamilton for dinner tonight so we came early to pick up a couple of caches. Pretty straightforward- TFTC

Ive had this in the sorted pile for quite a long time, so its great to finally get it today.
I wasn't sure what the hint referred to, and the co ords were a little off but it was an easy enough find anyway.
Thanks for setting this up

We are spending a few days at our Godonton get-away, and wanted to increase our find numbers for today's date, so headed over to the north-west of Hamilton. Nice to add a multi to the mix today. We enjoyed the short walk and made a very quick find here. Thanks.

Day 4 of our holiday and we are making our way to Hamilton for part 2 of our trip. Found with trayc.g TFTC

We have made it to Hamilton on day 4 of our family getaway. We decided to head to the CBD for some dinner and found we had some time up our sleeves for some caches along the way. As I’d solved this a fair while ago of course it was on my list to find. Didn’t get the hint at all but didn’t take long to spot in an obvious place but as I did I scraped my ankle on a cut branch. Took TB TFTC

Our first find today.

We were just about to give up but I had an aha moment. JD and I are exploring Waikato on a weekend away together.Thanks for hiding this cache MillsandLills I appreciate it. I dropped a travel bug off that belonged to BCD but don't seem to have logged that I have picked it up.

Replaced cache and contents. All dry.

Failed last time but nice to now have a smiley. Didn't have a waterproof replacement log o me unfortunately.

Found with my family the gogoguises ????

Yuck wet and very smelly, love the original tin but needs work. Did not sign, too wet. Tftc

Thanks for the cache ????????

Solved this one at home before my day trip to Hamilton, it was right along the way so stopped by in a handy carpark at the bottom of the walkway and made a quick find in the expected place when I reached GZ. The cache had quite a bit of of water in it and log was soaked but managed to sign on back cover after removing as much water as I could from it. TFTC.

Nicely done. Took a little bit to find. TFTC

Found the clue yesterday and did the sums to find GZ. Took geopup out for a walk today and found GZ. Read through some of the other logs for a clue and bingo.....there it was. I HATE COCKROACHES and there were dozens when I moved the camo. Signed the log and headed for home before the rain. TFTC.

Found.

29 December 2020 20:25. A brief stroll after dinner to try and tidy up the nearest caches to where I am staying for the week. Solved this quickly a day or so ago, and I am pleased that the find was equally quick. Good one, TFTC Number 8911.

Visited today. Found container after a short hunt. Inner container gone so added paper log. Next finder could bring plastic bag. Tftc.

Oh dear....got to gz and just found the outer part...
Lots of tree trimings piled up nearby ....
Looks like it was a great hide!
Needs some repairs....

Got coordinates easily. Got to GZ but failed to find it.

Took a we while to locate as the GSP took me with in 6 to 7 meters ...after a while used geo sense and soon found the hiding spot ...and there were plenty of them ha ha.....a few ants and a dead roach were cleaned out log signed and replaced as found..thanks Mills&lils for the multi

Thought would bring us close to toilets that I needed but couldn't find so cache took second priority. Arrived at close to gz but couldn't get closer than 9 meters. There was only one spot for a hide though. Nicely hidden. Thanks for the cache placement

Great Multi. Early find while wife has her hair done this morning. Now to find a few more.

Another nice little multi that proved to be fun. No probs at either stage.

TFTC

Grabbed this one as my muggle friends circled nearby. ( they could not stop as i had the key in my pocket). HeHe The cache is safely in its place waiting keenly for the next visitor. Thanks Millsandlills for the creation and placement for it adds to the types i have found in New Zealand

We solved the puzzle with simple logic, although finding the nicely hidden cache took a little longer, not helped by our trying to use the hint in our search, not realising until later that it was for the puzzle. TFTC

Great find with pukete girl guided

Meanwhile this is my third geocaching-trip to Middle-Earth . I love it! [:X]
And still there are routes and places in this beautiful country that are on the 'discover-me' list and want to be visited and explored.
Day #4:
Today, the red rental-cache-car took me on a 400plus-km-journey southbound from Coopers Beach via Auckland to Hamilton .
Had no idea , that this is the Auckland-Anniversary weekend, leading to the situation that all roads leaving Auckland are heavily congested . Especially southbound to Hamilton, as there is a big Rugby-Event taking place today.
Anyway, after having survived all the traffic-jams , I was happy to visit some geo-treasures in the Hamilton-area - just like this one:
A nice and easy puzzle at stage 1 , and a great hiding spot [^]! Even the cockroaches love it !
Thanks to the owner [:X] for placing this cache and cheers from Germany!

Spent a while searching but no luck

Went back to car read activity and returned. Doh. Felling stupid

On a long trip down to the mega with Lis's crew. So for me it good for numbers and favorites caches. With several stops and a lot of caches and several souvenirs up for grabs the trip was the perfect opportunity to get my numbers up and get some challenges that I have qualified for.

I knew I'd be in this area so I had this cache loaded into my phone for our trip. I'd figured out "n" using logic and fancied a visit to the musical loo in the description. We soon found the cache with some help from previous logs, TFTC

Enjoyed this one and had no problems - nice area to walk around and very popular by the number of cars in the car park. Cache all good and nice came. TFTC

Quixk find with Philip.Perry. After tonights event.

What an amazing day! Set off to the Waikato with intentions to meet up with NZFlossy and TNXPro but somehow didn't see either of them - instead I managed to alternate my caching partners between Mr & Mrs Tryfyn & KayGeeDee and then Davidson Clan & Squirrel Nutcase for the late shift. I had a great time at both of the Hamilton events and enjoyed catching up with the locals here and from home. Lastly - a big 'thank you' to the CO's that made 2018's International Geocaching Day so awesome.

A nice simple two stage multi to end the night on. This cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to a straight forward placement and the hint was pretty handy too. Cheers MillsandLills, TFTC

A nice easy solve while out on my bike today. Looped back around to reach the final, neat camo and quick fun multi, FP added, cheers

Love a quick easy multi. Although a made a mistake put me in wrong area. Knew it wasn't right and looked again and saw the doh moment. Lol from there a quick find. Tftc

Found it

Hard

We're attending an event here tomorrow so rather than have a super early start we thought we'd come over today, do some caching and stay overnight. This was our first cache of the afternoon and we enjoyed working it all out. Found the cache no problem although there was a nosey muggle and puggle who came out onto their deck to check us out. Luckily we were just finishing off TFTC

An excellent multi cache to get for a few points towards my planetary pursuit mission. Parked up at stage one and thought duh, worked out final co ordinates, drove down to final and made the short walk across to GZ. Quick find as I spotted something that didn't quite fit in. As I retrieved the cache I disturbed a rather large colony of ants and earwigs signed and returned. Thanks for the great multi!

I had a hell of a job getting my GPS to find me a route that actually allowed me to get out of the car so eventually I just did it the old-fashioned way. At GZ, the container was lying on the ground so returned it to its hide. Thanks for a nicely themed cache. TFTC.

Found this a while ago. Just catching up on logging. TFTC. Signed as SEAC11 Lots of Ants here.

Out and about in the Waikato with a few friends (Team SEAC) on a caching raid. After finishing "The eyes have it" series (the purpose for crossing the border! ), we decided to find a few other Waikato hides. This was one of them.

Had a bit of miscommunication on the way to get the info for this one, but eventually we all got there, and one of our junior caches even investigated rather closely! Hope no one was watching..... was straightforward after that!
Log signed as "SEAC 11" to save space (as there were 11 of us present today!)

TFTC, and sorry for the delay in logging!

A group consisting of LiverKiwi, Dragon Griffin, NZTravellers, HeMaLuDy, Purply, Darthcacher1, EIR-0T, Keylev, and NewlynFam headed down this way to collect as many of the Eyes have it series as possible after having a solving session at the end of last year....

We had managed to locate the Eyes have it series so continued on with local caches which took us to this cache

We signed in as 'SEAC 11' or 'SEAC 18' depending on whom signed the log, to save logbook space.

Cache was in good condition.

TFTC.

Had just completed the Eyes have It Geoart series and the group of 3 cars was heading back into Hamilton to do some further caching and grab some dinner and then continuing caching back to Auckland.

We signed the logs SEAC11 to save log paper.

Thanks to all the COs who have placed caches and keep these maintained.

This was a Quick solve and easy find. However the cache camo has now become home to THOUSANDS of ANTS! They apparently were not impressed at being disturbed this afternoon swarming ALL OVER the camo once disturbed. Mr NZT in has famous caching jandels had them all over his legs. Not an issue but just a warning for fellow cachers!!!

After completing the eyes have it series we stopped for lunch and then decided to find some other caches in the wider area.

Worked out what we needed to do and everything fell into place. Took a short drive and then walk to GZ and found the cache easily. The ants are still present and have made themselves very at home.

Signed as Seac 11 to save time and space. Thanks for the cache.

Having just completed 'The Eyes Have It' series with Team SEAC we decided to carry on and pick up some more caches around Hamilton. All logs were signed as SEAC11 to save space It was an easy solve and a short drive to GZ where the cache (plus ants) was quickly found. TFTC!

Mr. Kiwi had just been out with some of the members of Team SEAC completing The Eyes Have It series in the Waikato. Since it was a beautiful day and still plenty of day left, it was decided to head on into Hamilton and plunder some of the caches there. There was an ongoing debate as to how many we should do, 125 or 150. We decided just to get as many as possible.

A nice little multi that was quickly solved. Once at GZ, the cache was very quickly located along with the ants that had made it their home. Log signed as SEAC 11 to save space.

TFTC

A group of Team SEAC cachers were in the area collecting the Eyes Have It series and decided to head to Hamilton to continue our caching expedition after lunch.
A nice quick solve here and then off to the final. Again a quick find - with so many eyes searching. As mentioned by others, there were heaps of ants here. Signed as SEAC 11 to save space

No problem finding this cache today, however, an army of ants had taken up residence in the area. Retrieved the cache, signed the log and then spent the next 10 minutes removing ants from my arms, legs and car seats. Nice hide. TFTC

Solved the multi but couldn't find the cache. GPS was having 1 of those days where I was 10m away regardless of where I stood on either side of the fence or anywhere on the walkway. Will cons back another day.

Thank you for the nice quick multi.

4th one for the day today. Love the fact that the final was in theme. Disturbed a multitude of ants when retrieving! SL. TFTC!

Nice bit of thought gone in to this hide TFTC

Out and about with Panda22 she managed to work this one out. Nice easy find

went to the base today & as it wasn't raining for the first time in ever decided to stop and get a cache on the way home. After walking backwards and forwards for a few minutes I finally realised where I was meant to be looking, and quickly found the spot. Yay!

Yay found it

Went back today to find this as had not found this last time was a quick find and log done tftc [email protected]

Didn't find this one

Thanks!! Nice easy find for Braxy, RocStar and dad.

First road trip for a while and making my way North. Enjoying a variety of caches all adding to the fun of this trip. A nice easy multi and a quick find here. TFTC

Worked out the coordinates and enjoyed the final. Even a dog water bowl at the drinking fountain close by. A FP from us, Tftc

1225 Finally got round to looking at this one. Arrived after work, parked and had the cache in hand very quickly. This one does cut the mustard.

Another dot day, so I decided to get this one that we had done the work for previously. I was going to include my daily walk by parking at Ann St, but the weather was so changeable today that I decided to park closer. No one around. TFTC.

Today saw us travelling to Hamilton from Auckland for the day to help secure some requirements towards our GIO Licence challenge.

Managed to figure out what we needed for "n" and made the short walk to the final coordinates. After a bit of a search around the wooden walls, we soon uncovered the nicely hidden cache (along with a cockroach guardian). Thanks for the nice multi cache.

#6611. Good little multi to explore a bit of Pukete. Short walk to GZ, which was all quiet when we visited. Quick find. Very nice hide. The cache was in excellent condition. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the multi cache.

No problem with the calculations. When I went for the final, I was approaching from the street side and thought I had to go through a house to get to GZ. Google maps to the rescue! TFTC.

Visiting from Australia and while staying in Hamilton we decided to spend mothers day caching and exploring the area and this is our last of the day. This was a quick little multi with a cool cache container. Now I'm off to use that musical logo before we head back to our hotel. Tftc.

This was an amazing cache!
Took some work doing.
Thanks for the cache

We loved, loved, loved this one. Very clever hide!

This is an awesome cache!! Thanks

Liked this one. Initial search drew a blank but then realized it wasn't staring us in the face and found it. Sneaky hiding place and no one about to see us.

This was one of four finds we made tonight in a mad dash around the north part of town while our young teen was in town for hockey practice. Beats just sitting around in the car, waiting for him, that's for sure.

Made our way to the listed co-ords, found the necessary info to calculate the final location and headed off for the search. A lot of dog-walking muggles out this evening and we had to wait for several to pass before we began our search for the final. That said, we noticed that each person who walked passed us was totally captivated by their mobile device and not paying the slightest bit of attention to what was going on around them. I suspect we could have searched in front of them and they wouldn't have noticed. Still, we waited till the coast was clear and it wasn’t long til the cache was in hand. Great camo! The largest white tailed spider I've ever seen fell off the camo too; usually I'd leave any wildlife but decided we'd better deal to this - don't want to leave a nasty surprise for the next finder! Cache otherwise all good, TFTC

Off work early and time to do some city caches Great river views

Out and about for a days caching in Hamilton with Trout-fly enabled us to find 50+ finds. Really nice multi which was soon figured out and a nice wee walk to the final. TFTC

Spent the day with Team Welsh and cruised around looking for caches to find. We didnt have a plan, and we were trying to avoid u-turns, but we still found a heap of caches. Thanks.

Shhh ... tip toe ... residential muggles only mtrs away. Cool hide. Cheers.

Found this one today with MillsandLills for company. What a lovely area to have a cache hidden. TFTC

Found the required start point after a lot of wrong turns in the car. The new road system and our map just didn't seem to tie in. Calculating GZ was a simple matter and finding the car park just as easy. Eventually spotted the pathway to take and spent a little while looking for the cache. Our search area was not quite right, but after trusting the GPS and ignoring the neighbours we had the cache in hand. Thanks for earning me a souvenir this month. TFTC

Nifty hide here. No problems with the multi in my previous visit but I have no excuses as to why I did not find the cache last time. Walked straight to it today just beating another heavy shower. Thanks very much MillsandLills

we often walk past this cache when doing the pukete walk bridge/pukete bridge circuit, but now that the steps are FINALLY finished we won't be walking past this cache any more. thnx for the easy multi [8]

Love these easy in the field puzzles.
A short walk to the final and a quick find in a novel container.

Today was the the day to clear a lot green boxes from this area and turn them into smilie faces. With Mrs Fap visiting grandchildren got an early start with the Squirrel, with caches been found easily. But then the rain just started coming down and coming down and both of us getting wetter and wetter.

1.35pm - Our #2,600 find. Good cache camo & location, also handy spot for a loo break. SLTFTC

Out and about with Gap (of Fap and Gap). We planned on a big round up of caches around Te Rapa... so we started off early. It rained as soon as we arrived in Hamilton, and never let up. I got so wet, I had to ask Gap to visit a second hand shop to get a warm, dry coat... All part of the adventure we had today.

Gap already had the final coordinates worked out, which made for a quick find. I was a bit worried about the close proximity to the neighbours (who were home at the time we visited), but the cache was nicely disguised. TFTC.

Just a couple of dog walking muggles, but otherwise a very quiet spot for us at GZ, nicely camoed hide, many thanks for the nice wee multi.

quick solve, however I wasnt convinced I had the right final even after reading the page. TFTC

Second muilt of the day great hid muggles would never look there.

'Solved' this along time ago. I had tried to make the find a few weeks ago, but was short on time and had to abandon my search because a muggle was pottering around in their backyard close to GZ. Today we made a little detour to have another go. My wife spotted the hide immediately which I was impressed with since I thought the camo was pretty good. Thanks for this interesting multi.

Found with firebird9 and holly.hunter!

Found after a few clues taken from the recent logs.
