Doing some cache recycling - the box will be reappearing as a cache near you soon 
. Tricky4 will remain as a memorial to all those crazy late night number-crunching cachers.
. Tricky4 will remain as a memorial to all those crazy late night number-crunching cachers.A very cold breeze meant we did not hang about - used the clue and found it quickly. The code looks daunting. still plenty left. No pencil but left a Bic pen in the outer plastic bag - it would not fit in the case. Needs a new Minigrip type bag for the outer bag, A5 size would be ample. No exchange. Thanks - Tony & Anita

The coordinates were spot on, or at least my etrax's interpretation of them was. Must have been the sinny day. Surprised at the amount of shinglr truck activity late in the day, and glad we didn't drive in, else we'd still be there.
No for some serious deccoding - i guess this is where it will get really tricky -
No exchange. Thanks G, M and T. Rod and Margo

Ignored the signs. Easy find.
Will probably to tricky3 at the time of the upcoming caching event. Had a new cacher with me (scubaferret).
+ Avon Samples

I obeyed the signs (think Ill ignore them next time given every one else's logs).
What an unexpected spot to find in such an area. Cool discovery. Not put off by the signage, I completed the mission on foot - glad to escape the trials of Christmas shopping. Am intrigued by the hint at this site. Hmmmm. Looking forward to visiting Tricky 1 spot. [Heck I love being on holiday!]
No exchange. Thanks Tricky.

The "no members of the public allowed" was a nice touch to keep out the Muggles; luckily we realised that it didn't apply to geocachers!
A rustle here, a rustle there and Mama Bear went to make a joke that turned out to be a cache find instead!
That religious plastic bag is becoming positively sainted.

Pretty easy to find. Being higher up was a clever deception. The plastic bag is very religious. ;^)
My first cache in NZ. This cache was only 300m from where I set up my tent at the camping site. Found it without any trouble, didn't have time to find the other Tricky caches.
There was no pencil or pen in the cache, so I couldn't write anything in the logbook.

Great site, watched the boating for a while and spent some time hunting in the garden before using the clue and going straight to it.
This was my first find in New Zealand, This one was closest to my hotel and only a 2 Mile walk, Although being caught in the hail storm on the way back was an adventure. I picked up this set of clues and time and transportation permitting will find the rest, Looking forwards to an enjoyable hunt
Thanks

Hadn't intended coming here today and did take the long way round but in the end we got to the right place. We did wonder about the No entry sign but went in anyway - found the cache quite quickly. What a lovely spot.

Of course if you do pay attention to the sign, you won't be able to get to the cache 
Missed Gav and Ed by about 1hr, found with not to much difficulty. Took a clue and a hint, on to #1 and #3.
Cheers

LOL! This is so amusing tracking you guys running around (Nearly running into each other!) Yeah - sorry about the sign - but hey - there were quite a few other people there the day that I set the cache - sign-schmine! What's up with BaldEd and his secret, un-logged finds? tricky stuff ...
Apparently I walked past BaldEd as I was leaving 
I strolled through the gate - you may or may not want to pay attention to the sign. Had a nice walk over the grass and found the cache after a few minutes searching. Grabbed the code for later perusal. Nice spot! Cheers Gav [72/FTF]

Left this one to find on my way to work. 2nd to visit. So it was Gav that was walking out the gate as I parked my truck. Hope to spend time during a work break solving the puzzle.
