This cache is being archived so we can publish its replacement in a better location nearby.

We checked on this one today as we walked through the park. Finally found the container which had suffered cache creep, but it was empty except for a lighter. We have removed it and plan to replace with a new themed cache in a different but nearby location. We will then archive this one.

Stopped at the path for my bot to have do some scootering at the skate park, and had a few moments to grab this cache. nice hide. tftc

Found in pieces put back together on original coordinates

Spotted a likely location immediately but discounted it as the GPS still said 9m. A few minutes later decided to ignore the GPS. Nice hide. All good . TFTC.

In Hamilton for a Daffodil show. Had time to find some caches late afternoon after a shower a of rain. Thanks steedandpeel for the cache.

Very busy area with lots of kids playing near by.

What a miserable day but needs must find a cache for a dot day. Great cache in excellent order. TFTC

DNF
These are harder than i thought!

Cute. Out with work geomuggles & got it. TFTC

This one has been on my to do list for ages. Putting foot down a rabbit hole and twisting my ankle was not on that list lol! Thanks for the hint as rain and clouds and trees meant gps was no help at all.

Ok maybe I won't be finding these in order like I'd like too, found A this morning and now here I am at F thanks for bringing us here

Found with trayc.g, logging now as I have my own account. Have done a couple of this series, must come back and find some more. TFTC

My 101st find tftc

That was a good one, thanks

Tyfc

nice easy find TFTC

Green whanau found this one placed back in spot

Cool geocache hidden well in good spot.

At this park for an agility event, spotted 2 caches were in the park. Only had luck with this one though. Had a quick look for this one yesterday too, better look today and came up with the goods. TFTC

Quick find, TFTC

Found! On a lunchtime caching mission with ThePirateExplorers. Tricky to get accurate GPS under the tree cover, but my geosense took over and I located something not quite right, which proved to be the cover. Nicely themed cache - thanks for that! + a domino. SL. TFTC

Why are pirates called pirates? They just RRRRR!!! Me crew and me be scratching our beards for while with this hunt. But lady luck was on our side and before we knew it, we had the treasure in hand. HAH! TFTC

Nice quick find on a busy day and I liked the new cache well done.

This one has been replaced, so all ready to find again.

This obviously needs checking and probably replacing.

eFIT!! Fossicked for over half an hour!! Sad face

Good scratch around with McJandals.
No joy.

Persistent rain started to pour down as we started looking and my son was complaining so will come back when weather clears thanks

Nice easy find, got covered in pollen on our way in

Lovely private little spot

Found it(:

Was a fun, running thu the trees

Sis found it! Tftc!

Easy find. TFTC.

Nice and easy. Tftf.

Easy

TFTC

I've been in Hamilton on business for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately work has been full on, so doing any geocaching has been a very low priority. Today however, I decided that I just need to go for a walk to get some fresh air. So of course this meant during to collect any neaby geocaches. This turned out to be an easy find. TFTC!

Another great find while in the area with Just-Lookin.

Thanks for setting up this cache - having fun touring around.
SL

On a short road trip with tmann421. Enjoyed the area collecting caches along the way.

TFTC

TFTC found 13/0602015 with scud

Found with pipestab, he uncovered the camo but didn't see the cache lol

Found it

Hey I have found it

F is for Friday and F is for Found it.

Frolicked around in circles which not-so-Fab GPS thought was Funny. Finally just looked and Found it. Heard no so Friendly muggles approaching, so scribbled my name on First space on log book. Muggles didn't see me and kept walking on.

Fanks for the cache.

In town for work...and parked up in the centre of a few caches for my evening walk. Quickly found...such a good clue. Tftc

After the event I decided to get some more geocaching done in the area. Quick find at GZ. TFTC

Walked though the park after getting Jeremy goes to the dogs.Nice day for a bit of Geocaching.TFTC

Take insect repellent - I got eaten by misquitoes while finding this cache. Also some muggle children came to play so had to wait for them to leave before putting it back - I think I gave them a bit of a fright as they never expected to see an adult in the small bush area where they like to hang.

I had a bit of time this morning before I had to head to the airport and home so went out and found a few caches. I found a place to park not too far from the cache and walked over to it. GPS led me straight to the right place and there was the cache. TFTC, Biggles.

Great! Nice hidden location

Fun time in the soup TFTC

A good place for a hide. No muggles around nearby (Sunday). tftc

I did not think that you could find a quite patch by such noise. Once you are behind the hedge it becomes peaceful. Thank you for the cache.

Woohoo!

Thanks for the cache! Very fun find

Tftc quick find while walking dogs

Back to work today and almost nothing to do! So off to find some caches. Nice hide here. Thanks very much steedandpeel.

583 Nice place to sit and log find if only my pencil would work. Tried scratching my name. The best I could do.

Out and about for a days caching in Hamilton with Trout-fly enabled us to find 50+ finds. Another one in the series found, lost of track of how many of these in the series we have found but that have all been great so far. 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.

That was tricky cos my GPS sux

Nice one

done it on Christmas day tftc

Happy Christmas nice easy one for the day

Not much caching of late, courtesy of being fairly housebound with broken geokids, other than 1 or 2 park'n'grab caches in town picked up between Dr appointments. Muggle hubby took pity on me this morning & let me escape for a while, so opted for a cluster of caches that I could find on foot & have a decent walk at the same time - gee, it's good to get some fresh air & a spot of caching too, despite the rain. Wandered over from another nearby soup cache &, now that I'm getting the hang of the CO's preferred cache wrapping, it was a quick find here. Thanks for another great cache, steedandpeel

Few minutes to spare so quick find appreciated. Tftc.

fun to get tftc

Found this the other day with the kids and forgot to log it tftc

Nice place (ugly tree). Found a little angel in the container which Lil just had to swap

So while we are signing the log. The miss one year old takes the phones and walks off in to the trees. This is how you goecache aye mum?

Nicely hidden. Replaced it as I found it.

Another quick find for me but I did a real rookie mistake and forgot to take a pen. Had to take a picture instead so will email cache owner to prove I was there. Thanks for another find close to home

Walking by, slight detour and found ourselves a fairy in a cache!

I thought I might have been early enough for the area to be relatively quiet. I was correct. It turns out that the cache is well-placed to allow one to search away from prying eyes anyway. Phone GPS played up but using map + logic = victory. TFTC.

Found, gps not the best there but not a problem to Find.
T4tc

Fantastical! Tftc

The rain lifted and we decided to get out of the house and go for a ride... Ended up in Hamilton. How convenient...

The little nephew and I enjoyed our short walk over to ground zone. The cache was nicely placed in an area screened off from playing and walking muggles. Didn't need to use any 'F' words to find this one... TFTC.

Beaut day for a few smiles around Hamilton... Nicely hidden away...TFTC

Another nice day down south

Tftc

Dot day and had to start work at midday so this was nice and conveniently placed to fill the gap, just had to dodge the showers.
Good placement.
TFTC

8.20am - Quick find once GPS settled down. Ground a bit damp getting here. SLTFTC

Good camo. TFTC

Good find after a morning of skating. Thanks!

Tftc

I don't normally work on this side of town, however I had time up my sleeve so thought this would fill in a dot day nicely, which it did, TFTC!

GPS on my phone wouldn't play ball, but I managed to use a bit of geosense and find it reasonably quickly

Used the alphabet clue. My GPS off GZ when under tall things but tandem searching soon had cache found. Look forward to doing the remaining 24 in the summer. TFTC

Second alphabet of the day. Also found a pine cone that will become a waxeye feeder. Thanks for taking us here.

A new part of the park for me.
Soon found. TFTC.

Continuing my finds to fill in grid squares I needed two caches today to complete the task, this was the second.
Area was all muggle free and no problems here

Thanks for the placement

Some light rain showers earlier must have kept the young muggles away from the skate park today and I had the place to myself. After finding it I decided to walk to the next one in the alphabet series (G) through Hamilton gardens as I need the exercise. A very pleasant way to spend a couple hours this afternoon.
Many thanks

A fast find today thankfully. The finding fairy was on my side

Fortunately a fast fruitful find , our first in the alphabet soup series, TFTC.

Yes in the obvious place for sure. Good hide. Tftc

Thanks for the cache. We've driven past this park many times, but never stopped before.

4.40pm. The last one for the day. Good cords took me straight to it.
Thank you. David.

Nice spot for a cache. This was my second find while out and about during my lunch break. No problems locating the cache which was logically placed. I covered it with some leaf litter before I left to ensure it was well hidden. I had hoped to grab the other cache in this park (sit, stay) but unfortunately Muggles meant I couldn't get near GZ. Finding this cache reminded me I needed to finalise our hides for this series.
