I am spending another weekend up in Wanganui (from Wellington) and as I had some free time on Saturday afternoon and saw a couple of unfound Geocaches up this way I came for a nice wee afternoon drive. After signing the logs on the two new ones, I found a few more on the way out, and this was one of them.The cache was found as and where described with no trouble at all---Thanks to Priceless Time and Blenheim Bear for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with Geocachers like this creating them and placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.[DGSc-Bulk] tagging to help me generate a list for GC30AD8 - DGSc Challenge.

Thanks for this straight forward cache. The real highlight was "The Croft" - wonderful secret pathways, landscaping and plenty of gnomes! This delightful park deserves more caches! Thanks COs.

Teamed up with Cats&Dragons, for an overnight mission down the West Coast focusing in and around Hawera. It's been awhile since we've done a trip like this and it was great to be out finding caches again. We left Hamilton at 7pm Friday night and returned midnight Saturday, with only a few hours of sleep needed we managed 116 finds for the trip. A big thanks to all the cache owners for their placements.

No troubles here tonight. Thanks for the hide.

Second day of my long weekend in New Plymouth, or more technically Taranaki.
Today I decided to forgo numbers to do something that I have always wanted to do, albeit I wanted to do it on a motorbike, but a car is second choice - drive the Forgotten World Highway to Whangamomona. So I set off nice and early.

Heading back to New Plymouth albeit the long way now. Another quick find at this cute church. My new friend, Harriet the Hairy Coo, was most interested in what I was up to. TFTC

Temporary Disable - Unfortunately, this CO as left us to go caching on the other side, RIP Priceless Time.
In the meantime, this cache is under the process of adoption. It can still be found and logged, but maintenance will not be done until the new ownership is sorted. Any problems please contact Blenheim Bear.

On my way to New Plymouth and thought i'd detour up to the chemical weapons factory. In doing so i also targeted the other realitively nearby caches such as this one.

Looked right at it once without seeing it, my tablet battery was struggling a bit so my gps was not all thatbreliable. I magaged to find my way back by switching over to my phone. And saw it on reinvestigation.

Cheers.

Out and about on a sunny Saturday, and stopped by here on our way back from the Three Sisters, and met Niscar on her way out. Picked up the trackable and dropped two off, along with a couple of our personal trading tokens, then had a short picnic on the verge. Thanks for the cache, this is a lovely spot and the garden next to the church holds great promise.
