Easy find. Out with rihiatamaki and ohgummon. Cache might need relocating as trees haves been cut and cache is now at knee height.
Fun day out caching with ohgummon and kiwi971 - although the cache isnt at head height anymore, more like knee height. TFTC
In town for racing at Manfield tomorrow - not horsing around but definitely horsepowering around! A nice easy find here or maybe I was just lucky to spot it quickly. TFTC
Heading towards the Mega. Thought it would be impolite not to grab a few on the way through. Thanks all for the hides.
We are staying Feilding for a few days visiting family, and decided after all the rain and the long car journey we had to get here yesterday that we needed to get out and get some fresh air today, and what better way than to find a few caches in the park. This one took a lot longer than it should have, we were relying too heavily on the jumpy GPS on the phone and not enough on geo-instinct. Once we stepped back and though about it, the cache was soon in hand. Found with darthcacher1 and purply.
We had a lovely stroll around the park finding the caches. Enjoyed a quick find here. TFTC
After a morning of steady rain we were suffering from cabin fever - the cure? A walk to locate some caches. We nearly gave up on this one but then Cleo turned her head and there it was. Not sure why it is not called micro as that would have helped us. TFTC.
This one has eluded me on previous searches due to gps jumpinh around at GZ and muggles. Another cacher gave me a clue, however she must have found the previous version. Finally had a chance to do a decent search and came up trumps. TFTC
This took longer than it should have. Initially we were some distance away as gps was jumping around (and we were trying to not look suspicious to the mower muggle). After searching here for a while decided to try from another angle. This lead us to where the cache actually was and we spotted it fairly quickly. tftc
How did we not see this? Seriously we found this cache on our fifth attempt - mind you we were newbs when we looked the first 4 times. TFTC!
Either the night search, or well hidden. Will try again another day (in daylight)
This was not where expected and after a search around the area we eventually had the cache in hand. I have had to drive past this cache many times before due to the area being used by children, horse and everything in between - so was stoked to find it unused today. TFTC
Nice & quiet on this wet day so I could take my time looking. Wasn't sure how high "head high" was so added a couple of inches to my height & after a methodical search came up with the find. TFTC
There was definitely evidence of past horse visits, pleased I saw it in time and didn't step in it!

Enjoyable day geocaching and visiting my friend in Feilding. .An easy find with my very own special search engine, my good friend Pamela . TFTC. Good hide
on a birthday trip around the north island, found no horses but found cache FTFC
There were a few soccer games on this afternoon but luckily none close to the cache. TFTC
Wandering around Feilding grabbing a few caches as I go and arrived at this park which I have not seen before. Took a walk down the windbreak and heading into it once the GPSr settled. Was looking toward it then realised, I was actually looking at the cache. Signed the log and off down the park to find another cache. Thanks for the placement marisa&kaleb.
4th of the day and another one that took awhile and I was about to give up when our last look finally spotted the well hidden cache. TFTC.

cache had gone missing again, someone is very good at removing them from here, have replaced the cache but moved it to a new location
this one has gone missing again even with a different container.. will need to re think the hide
cool cache, seen a couple of these before. log book full as some people write very big and take up more than there share of room!! TFTC
It's always good to be able to turn a DNF into a smiley. Last time we were in Feilding we failed on this one. This time we were on our way from Timona Park to Manfeild and as we passed I reminded Mrs B about it. She reckoned we should have another look. Didn't take long for me to pluck up the courage to investigate what turned out to be a cleverly disguised cache container. Sadly though I was unable to sign the log: it is very full. So, Mrs B took a photo of the log sheet instead to prove we found it. Will upload that photo as soon as I can get it off her phone . TFTC
Had me wondering what this one was..then I spotted it..good one,and I had the right tool too..TFTC!
Found after a quick search of likely objects in the vicinity. Dog sniffed out a possum in the trees near here too TFTC
Love the container, log sheet very full, could only put initials on it. Was her with my horse competing in carriage driving. TFTC
Mrs All7ofus and the Jr Cachers were out and about in Feilding this morning on a shopping trip and decided to pick up a couple of caches around the park. A nice easy find. TFTC.
After many times I found it and when I did I felt so stupid it took me 4 times to locate it
What a great cache, not usually something you would want to touch. Definitely bring tweezers, it's a bit toight!
Wow what a cool cache. My daughter thought it was really neat. Thanks for the cache guys
Left my cache bag at home but found a natural tool to meet my needs here. Thanks
ere123 - I have removed your post for posting what the cache container was, as this is your first cache please do not put what the cache is when you log your find
Thank goodness this was easier to find as we were demoralised by the lacking of finding many this weekend. Novice beginners lol!
Hmmm... thought it was a good camo... but not so sure it is what we think it was.... so where is it???
