time to move out

nice cache. 4 attempt at finding.

I have spent of time and money in this place so thought I would stop and grab this cache today. Very clever camo. Thanks!

well, well what have we here. Hmmmmm. so searched awhile until I came up trumps :' Great camo . Am so happy no muggles busy heading out to shop. fav point thanks.

Finally! This must have been our fifth or sixth attempt. We've done so much CITO as subterfuge that we were starting to make a difference. Goes without saying that it is great camo, it was only the line that lead us to it. We're pleased to have finally found this one, especially on a dot day.

A short search and i found it tftc

Cool cache, well disguised!

Did not find. Looked for about 10 minutes.

Very difficult to find! Took ages will have to try again another day

Found in 3 mins, we were lucky ! GPS bang on target.

Thank goodness - I found it! Not my favourite kinds of caches but I couldn't resist. Almost gave up and then went back for one more look and spotted it. People passing must wonder what is gong on TFTC

Three PAFs to those who found it four days ago, without luck. Our eyes must be painted on. Will just have to come back. But will put it on watch.

On the road again with Gap (of Fap and Gap). He has a small job to do and we are combining this with a sweeping cache hunt through the northern Waikato.

Gap suggested we try this one as it was likely to present us with some challenge... Sure did! We searched all along but didn't find much. People were coming and going and we assumed that if we couldn't find it, neither would they... At one point, I found a full can of beer... Finally, I felt something strange and on closer inspection, found the most cunning cache I've seen in a while. This was a brilliant hide in this location. TGTC.

5.40pm - Quite a few muggles about and probably wondered what these 2 strange guys were up to. Bit of a search but located well camoed cache. SLTFTC

Found lots of rubish bit no cache

Far nearly gave up!! But finally success! My gps was all over the show! Tftc

Good camo successful day today tftc

#8 Well hidden, just a scrap of camouflage showing to guide me in. Easy find with the GPS coords. TFTC, a quick find before groceries!

When I arrived I thought Oh no not the Aggies, but it was worse.
Was down to last minute of search after shopping arrived and success. TFTC.

That cache almost drove me insane. Z4p and me looked so many times for it and never succeeded. But than when we were about to surrender, I finally found it. The coordinates given are really good but since it is so well hidden it is very tricky to find.
Everybody enjoy looking for that cache after or before going to Pack n Save

TFTC!

FINALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY =D
After the fith attemped Cuzte finally found it. We were about to give up, when Cutze shouted "I got it!!!". We understood why we couldn't find it before without GPS and sometime only a flash light.
So happy to log.
#80 and #42 in NZ.

looked for a while and didnt find it.

Happened to be in the vicinity today so decided to give this cache a go. I was expecting a long search having read the logs but thanks to super accurate coordinates (on my iPhone no less) I had the log in hand in a minute or two. The camo is great and I can see why it's caused problems for some. I felt pretty relieved to fumble upon it so quickly.

A bit of spare time this avvo while nearby so thought I'd walk over for a peek. Was focused on my gps & just about to start delving into bushes when someone unexpectedly tapped me on the shoulder. Got quite a fright ... but they just wanted some directions. Waited til the coast was clear & then thankfully a quick find. Great camo

Found lots of rubbish, lot of holes in the plant matter, but no cache - time was against me as I was meeting someone for tea - I'll be back. TFTC

I liked the concept behind the cache and managed to find it reasonably quickly due to the good coordinates. There is quite a lot of rubbish in the area which means the hunting is not too pleasant.
Many thanks

Thank goodness for spot on coordinates, spotted the clever camoed hide after a short search.

Was about to give up on the 2nd look when I found it. Nast stuff but cleaver camo

Armed with a clue from another finder (Thanks!) it didn't take too long to find, nice camo, but a clue would have gone a long way to having not have to deal with all the nasty rubbish in the area

here's a clue, READ the cache page, it may be a bit cryptic but it's there

Headed back with the day light and had a bit of laugh at how much this bush has been destroyed. When I first turned up it was perfect... Now it has big holes and looks just messy. Was a quick find this time with the addition of a hint from a fellow cacher.

Some clever camo here, blends in nicely with the surroundings. Attempted this on the day of publish, but didn't look this far down, so missed it by only a meter or so. With a big GPS in hand today it put me in the right spot, so I could claim the find. TFTC.

Finally made it out to collect a number of caches around Hamilton. good cammo and a bit of patience the cache was soon in hand.

With a bit of spare time right before lunch decided that a look would be in order.
I have the right camo (hi-vis vest) and started my search.

Found lots and lots of rubbish, got some strange looks from passers by, got a poking tool as there were some places my hand was just going.......but no sign of a cache.....

psychrn, I did see a motorbike like the one in your avatar come into the carpark while I was searching. Very nice engine note if I may say so.

Had a wee look here this morning. Sun playing havoc with my glasses. Should have tried last night as I did call into car park around the time it was found by the looks. Will come back later

Published

Woohoo FTF!!! I was heading for bed when this was published, but Hamilton's not far from Te Awamutu and I hardly ever get FTF, so I decided to chance it and leapt into the car. Arrived at 11pm, after searching by torchlight I eventually found the extremely well camouflaged cache at 11:23pm. Blank logsheet was my reward TFTC 4 FTF!

Really... you hid it there... with no hint.... This place would be suited to an up and coming CITO event. Needless to say after an hour searching all id found was numerous quantities of rubbish...
