Arching this Cache as I am moving to the other side of Hamilton and do not have the time to make and maintain a new one at this location. Thanks to all those who went and collected it and enjoyed the climb. Look forward to making a few when I get some more time.
Haven't climbed one of these in years! Loved it! Spent time looking and found likely hide, but a DNF for me. Hasn't been for a couple of months, so next time CO is in area may want to check on cache. Cheers ... Loved the climb.
Got the fright of my life when a freight train went past while I was retrieving the cache !! Thanks for the hide
This was a nice easy find despite the fact that it could have been very hard. I currently have a sore back so was glad that I didn't have to twist and turn to much when climbing up the tree.
Glad to keep the streak going. Day 19

We've left this one for a dot day, just like today. Also, I thought I might not want to tackle this one on my own. No one around and it was quickly retrieved. A street I've never been down before, I love these early bungalows. Thanks for giving us a reason to detour off the main road.
Had to have two attempts here as work attire is not recommended! Turned out to be a bit more difficult for me than I had thought but did get there in the end. Thanks very much kcoley
Out and about with SethRaven, a great one for the kids to quickly clamber and get. TFTC
Out with Fencarrows on our way to the Miaiture Train night run tonight at Minogue Park. A quick find by the kiddies here. TFTC
Was hard to get this body up there lol. Glad I listened to clue a wore appropriate shoes.
I was given the task/ responsibility of getting a cache today to continue our highest streak of consecutive finds. I had hoped to get one In Te Kuiti as I passed through there today but time and circumstances were not on my side and I ended back in hamilton late at night without a find. This cache was the closest and so at about at 8:30 at night tired and cold I detoured to GZ and was thankful for a quick find. Coordinates were accurate to a couple of meters and the hide was fun. I was glad it was dark as I would have felt pretty conspicuous otherwise. Thanks for the placement.
Had a dot day to fill so a quick stop while going past. Didn't take to long to track down the cache. No trains today.
Testing out my new GPS today. Stopped in here for my dot day find. A bit of a stretch for me but just got there
Had a spare few hours this morning before needing to head back home so took a quick tour of the inner city to visit some caches. A lovely sunny day and not too much traffic was much appreciated.
Trains are cool, TFTC

Made the short climb to reterive the cache, no problem finding it, but the white goo in the bottom is all over the log book, other than that, T4TC
Doing a bit of cache hunting and gathering toward the August Challenge... with Gap (of Fap and Gap)...
It was now fully dark when we arrived. After reading a few logs, we realised where the cache was hidden. Gap went after it, and used his head lamp to shine a bit of light on this hide. TFTC.

6.15pm - Arrived at GZ to find it guarded by a cat. No scratches, small climb and had log container with white sticky stuff stuff on it. SLTFTC
Went out after dinner for an easy find. However the attachment device fell off. I have wedge the container nearby however.
Saw yesterday that a new one was released and had a little hope to have the FTF. But C&D already found it so I posponed my midnight travel to the next day.
Found easily after work.

6.54PM, WOW saw this pop up while cooking tea and had to run out the door as it was literally just around he corner. Most of the drive was waiting for the GPS to start then it was a quick find at GA
Thanks for putting this together and especially as I'm not known for FTF but this was tooo close to ignore
