Miss 9 had to climb up and find it was really pretty than you for the cache

Tftc

Nice climb, thanks for the cache

Found it but didn’t have a pen really enjoyed the climb and will come back with a traceable next time. THANKS!!!!

Not anywhere to be seen not sure of stolen but should be checked by owner

Luckily I could see the container from the road so I could devise a climbing plan. This one is ideal for a tall person like myself in that that climb was quite easy. Quickly unlocked and signed the log. Loved the concept and the setup inside. Only exception was the number of small ants in the hide. Worthy of a FP.

Did you know that planning has started for a Mega Event in Wellington in 2018? Check out the details on the WENZ 2018 Website or visit the event's page on Facebook.

Short on time so did not find

ants cleared out all good to go

Thanks for the challenge... Lovely evening in Feilding.. Thanks for the cache...

As we pulled up I could see it and as I am only 70 and my partner in crime was 56 I took off to retrieve it without hesitation many thanks for this well crafter cache
A FP from us

Time for another geocaching trip with 2 Bulbars, having just lost our good geocaching buddy Priceless Time (Michael Price) we decided that the best thing we could do was a weekend out caching in his memory. RIP Priceless, our thoughts are with you on your caching journey. So after a quick drive down from New Plymouth we got into the caches on Day 1, first to the west of Bulls then to the East and South. We got to this one at the end of the day, had to be worth a good look. Well, it was fun, or at least it was for my partner in crime. Well worth a fav. Mission accomplished, this one is a wrap. Thanks for the cache from Blenheim Bear!

Cheeky

Over in fielding today to look at a horse. That being done, decided to tick of a few caches.

Straight forward enough, spied the outer cache container and scrambled on up.

Favorite point for the presentation, long may it endure.

Cheers.

.....getting up this bank no problem (down was the tricky part!!). Seen cache from the road, fanfan-77 cleaned out a few ants. TFTC

On our way to the Manawatu for the New Year's weekend, only grabbed 2 cache between Taupo and Palmy. This one got our attention with the number of favourite points, the size and the intriguing D/T rating. Sveppi navigated me to within meters of the cache. Easily accessed and retrieved. A neighbour across the road was shredding some garden waste and I don't think he noticed us as he was so busy and wearing earmuffs. Sveppi cleverly figured out how to open the cache, much quicker than I was, just staring at it wondering what to do. As sveppi replace the log I destroyed an ants nest in the door, hoping they won't come back. TFTC.

Got it yay and it's a favourite. Ants have found a home here too !

Wow I did it. Great cache. Tftc

What a cool find to finish our afternoon of hunting.

Great cache. Spotted it from the road and clambered up the back to retrieve. An old fella spotted me up here on what is probably his daily walk. Swapped TBs. TFTC

Amazing

This was awesome, a favorite for me

Amazing.

When we were planning our trip down to Palmerston North, I searched for caches with high FP and this came up. Wow - gets another FP from me! I left the family with my parents for a couple of hours while I picked up a few caches. Probably wouldn't have attempted this with them in tow. TFTC!

2 x Duckdash TBs dropped to travel far and wide

Needed a cache for a dot-day and one with more than 10 favourite points to gain a souvenir, which meant that this was the closest that met the criteria. It also filled in another gap in our D/T matrix so Mr All7ofusNZ set off for Feilding to give this one a go in the late afternoon. Waited until the coast was clear and then began the ascent, having spotted the likely hiding spot. Had just made the top level when the garage door of the house across the road opened and the owners emerged - I suspect that they saw me as it is a pretty difficult place to be inconspicuous .

Decided to complete the cache anyway given it is somewhat muggle-proof and the people across the road seemed more interested in whatever they were doing than what I was up to - seemed to me to be the least suspicious option and I would be surprised if they hadn't seen others in the past. A very well done implementation and well deserving of a FP from us, TNLNSL. TFTC marisa&kaleb

Found this earlier but not showing so logging again in order to award a fav point

A nicely made cache. TFTC

007 was brilliant we loved the find. Thank you

Playing in a squash tournament at the nearby courts... Was planning on a bit of caching in the local area but the rain hasn't stopped for the last couple of days so a couple is all I managed today.
Looked at the FP's for this - so was keen to give a go too.... Clambered up the bank to locate cache - hoping the houses opposite were empty this morning?
Grabbed a TB to take home to Blenheim and then slid back down to ground level.

A quick find but a very cool find. Sent the husband scurrying up and retrieved the cache quickly. A fave point from us. TFTC.

A fun little scramble to the cache. Love the container and the concept. Left a TB. Thanks for the adventure. Fav point from us

AMAZING! (although an ants nest has moved in) I left the caper coupling to be taken on an adventure by someone else. super awesome cache.

Awesome find with helbaby7 have missed caching

Searched for a while. Having found the previous cache that was placed here i assumed it would be the same type. Once i widened my search i found pretty quickly. what an awesome cache. Thanks for the hunt.

A favourite needed here just for the climb and the views from the top as well as the cache TFTC

We had heard so much about this cache it had to be looked at. We weren't disappointed, but coming from Taranaki (and the mountain) found it not too strenuous reaching the delightful cache. In fact it does give you a bit of a high. A favourite. tftc

Such a cool cashe!!!

Big thumbs up for this cache. Wish i had my son with me as he would havw loved it. Will add fav point. Many thanks for the effort gone into thia hide.

Amazing place for a Geocache.

love love love it love the cache container love the home made contents love the adventurous climb love caches like this Had some problems with one part of the cache but have sent a message to co so hopefully repairs are made aroha and happy caching definitely gets a fav point if possible would give it more

What an amazing cache...took a few minutes to locate after I climbed up to the top,and after I dealt with the "red herring" that had me off on a tangent!An amazing array of things once opened!!Thanks for the cache...gets a fave from me!

Looking in wrong place for quite a while and then got seriously muggled by a young boy on his bike cos my son got so excited about the cache design. Anyway managed to keep code secret so hopefully that keeps cache muggle-proof! will check later in week :-\

the Seagnoid is housesitting nearby and needed a ride home from spending Boxing Day with the Etherlord Clan.
After kicking him out of the car, I looked at my phone and this was the nearest cache. Let's do it!

I have found a cache at this location previously and will sheepishly admit that I suffered from blinkers in that I spent about 10 min looking for the same hide mechanism. Getting no where, I read some logs and then quickly spotted the host as soon as I took my blinkers off.
Like the Seagnoid, I remember this host from when the CO showcased it at the tS' Cache Makers event a few years ago. Good to see that it has been released!
(The cache I showcased at that event is still sitting in my workshop... )

T4tC, m&k!

What a delightfully constructed cache. Definitely deserves a Fav. Point from me. I waited to have company before this was attempted.. a younger pair of legs! - who scaled the heights despite an injury. And it was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache and another smiley face.

[green] Off to one of the most important geocaching events of the year, the Rattll Christmas Barbecue event. And naturally, I am taking the long way there, with Haydn.seek for company. On top of that I am wanting to hit a new record, 2000 cache finds in a year, and I only have about 40 to go.
First, Haydn has a few objectives, this is one of the few in Feilding she hasn't found. She is not confident with the climb. Neither am I actually, I came off my bicycle while doing 50kph. Feeling fast, but my shoulder is still stuffed. None the less, I managed to get to the cache, which surprised me. Shoulder hurt more by the time I got to the bottom again. And it was so worth it! I remember this cache in production, showed off at an event I held once, The final version is amazing. Fav from me.

Spotted the cache fairly quickly, and picked my best approach to it. No problem but was thankful it was a nice sunny dry day. A very cool cache.

TFTC

Attempted earlier in the day , but guy across road was mowing lawns, so decided to wait till our return trip to attempt it.
Parked up and something caught my eye, westviginia inspired as other hides I've seen from your crafty hands! And a well made one at that.
This going to be a fun one.
Son insisted that he was the one that opened it, so up we went, allot of help was given to him as the terrain is how it is.
Got to cache and anti-muggle device removed and how lovely it is.
Cache removed and taken to car, as expected its stocked up, and we love pawing through things. Trade's were made, to put in our Memory Vase at home, and I ascended the challenge once more to ensure it was all put back, alone this time.
As stated prior, well made/stocked/maintained cache, and worthy of a Fav Point for all the criteria mentioned.
Cheers

Thank you for the experience lovely cache

We picked a good time to attempt this cache as it was nice and sunny before it started raining again.
I spotted the cache as I was climbing up. No problems getting up and into the cache.
Cool hide.
Thanks.

Wandering around Feilding grabbing a few caches and got to this spot and read the detail then looked up and down the bank looking for a quick way up. Ended up taking an easier route and got to the cache that way. Still felt a bit unusual standing in plain sight at GZ with the drop off nearby. Anyways, got the job done, signed the log and admired your clever handy work both in the cache and the structure. Get's a FP.

This is our Fourth day of caching in the area, just so many caches to find so will have to make another trip back at some stage, but for today lets see how many we can eliminate.

11.25am - Interesting hiding place and cache. Couple of mountain goats, soon found cache. SLTFTC

My younger brother had a four-day table tennis tournament in Palmerston North. Rather than sit around and watch paint dry, I decided to take a caching tour of the Manawatu... Joined by Gap (of Fap and Gap).

Our last day of caching in the Manawatu... We've had such a great time visiting some heavy cache-populated trails. Now we need to find some specific caches for our current license challenge... This one was definitely on our target list.

We were drawn by the interesting D/T rating... This was a challenge that we just had to take. The climb up wasn't too dramatic. And the reward was in opening that box and admiring the set up. We were also amazed with the huge amount of swag items in the cache. This was well worth the visit and a definite favourite point. TFTC.

Very interesting cache this one. Well worth the climb. tftc

Today I teamed up with Advanture Collectors to knock off the new power trail and to see if we could manage to get 100 for the day for the first time. An awesome day out albeit a tiring one. We both achieved our objective. This cache is just one of the 100+ caches that we found today. Of all the caches today I only awarded 2 favourite points, this was one of them. Thanks for the effort marisa&kaleb. TFTC

When looking up the bank I spotted a red bucket hanging from a tree and thought that'll be the cache. Oh how I was wrong! The CO had a far superior idea then just some bucket hanging around. Well done marisa&kaleb on a wonderfully created cache. I enjoyed this cache very much.

TFTC +FP

#6491. Parked on Sandon Road for a short climb up the road reserve. Quick find. Excellent hide. The cache was in excellent condition. The ants appeared to have died off, but their bodies were still scattered inside.

Left nothing, signed log. Thanks for the interesting cache.

Needed a little help logging this one... I'm not the bravest when it comes to anywhere I can fall. Awesome cache though- I think I saw it at the maker event.
Unfortunately it was very full of ants so the trackables where left where they were.
Thanks for a great cache

Found after a family trip to walk on the beach at Scott's Ferry... This was by far the best cache of the day!!

The terrain was a bit loose on the top edge, but the cache itself yielded without a fight, thanks to the hint

tb drop

Well this was an early start to the day with leaving home at 3am for a drive down here for a meeting at 8am. so after driving through all the darkness I thought that why not treat myself with a cache before having to use the Macca's changing room.
Access to the cache was simple (straight line approach) and the cache was soon in hand, not just to get it open, then it all made sense and so with it open, trackables picked up to move north (they're heading to the OZ MEga in a fortnight) back down and now to get the mind in the right space for work.

thanks for a great cache and a well presented stash.

TB drop

We ascended and descended, but without success.

Found with Just-Lookin on a little geocaching trip away.

Just-Lookin was at the top before me and got rather told off by the neighbour who asked what we were doing up here and told this was private property and needed to go away.

However we stayed away from him (fence) and found it after a short search.
Good cache, left a TB, took a TB

Out on a short road trip with tmann421 on Waitangi Weekend.

I scaled up the bank in search of the cache and bumped into a rather annoyed neighbour who pointed out the boundary to the property went all the way to the road. I retreated, then as all good geocachers do we whipped back up for another search which we then found. A great container and lots of effort gone into this one which is appreciated. Thanks for the fun marisa&kaleb.

Oh wow - what a beautifully detailed cache. Added one little object in keeping with the theme - hope that was ok. Climbing dealt with by the agile Mr G - not bad for an old fella! TFTC. Gets a favourite.

Now our closest cache to home. We could see where it was right away and recognised it from a previous favourite cache container event. Nice to see it have a place now. Can you believe hubby says 'I can't get in?' at the top. I was down below at that point saying 'Well gee if were me, I'd try this....not that I am Bond or anything...!' And Whaddayaknow. Thanks heaps M&K Have given a fav point

Great cache had to get help from a younger person for this one many thanks. Favorite from us

I have been wanting to find this cache since spotting a post on FB about it. Finally in Feilding to visit the family over Christmas and definitely wasn't disappointed. Sent Mr HeMaLuDy up the bank for a successful find. Very impressed with the cache container and all its detail. favourite point for sure. Thanks for all the effort that went into making this cache.

Great geocache, handy having a younger brother to run up and grab it!

A fun challenge and a memorable cache find. Thanks marisa&kaleb. The owners may need to check the security arrangement as it came apart - but fairly sure it was left secure again. Another deserved favourite added

Awesome geocache - nice way to introduce the family

725. Very nice indeed. Fun to access. Great swag. Clean and dry. Loved this one. Easily gets a favorite point.

With a great deal of secret agent stealth & agility we made our way to GZ. Ok, not that much stealth - it's a fairly busy road, & we we're quite conspicuous!
We'd been waiting for this one to make an appearance. Great to see it up & "active".
Left a pet rock - a caterpillar. TFTC marisa&kaleb

Wow! Very impressive cache and well worth the climb. Last one for the weekend - a great one to finish off with. TFTC

Good climb up to this nice cache, on a windy day. Favorite from me. Thanks for the cache.

It's another dot day for me, one of only seven remaining (though the last one will be leap day 2016!)
With an open home on the house planned for this afternoon and a whole morning wiping down, cleaning, sweeping and tidying it was good to get away from the section with the family and geo mutt for a couple of caches in sunny Felding (twas windy in Kimbolton today)
There had been a couple of views of this cache prior to placing and listing. I'd heard about it through the grapevine (kudos to Marvin Gaye) when it as shown at the maker event last year and I'd seen the C O's proud posting on F B, and right you are to be proud.
Today I sent the ever agile nightowl19 up the hill to make the find and offered (useless) advice from below. I could see from where I was stood some of the detail involved and nightowl filled me in wit the rest. Good job m&k, an other great hide and worthy of one of our F Ps.
Another day dotted and off to spudnz's mountain bike trail next

Tftc. Sent young fella up to get to old for this girl. Love the container! 15/11/14

Off on an afternoon geocaching mission with tommygun9 and hunterhillson. It was truly a 'four seasons in one day' excursion. It started with heavy hail followed by a torrential rain, driving wind and eerily quiet snow falling on the desert road. The sun even made an appearance on occasions. We found between 25 to 45 caches each and finished with this unlikely FTF at 1950 after receiving a text from capperz some 5 hours earlier that this had been published. Spotted the cache as we approached our parking area. Made an easy climb to the cache and tommygun9 had the honours of opening the cache and discovering if we were first or not. Which we were, YAY. A lot of effort as gone into this cache and should be fairly muggle proof. Thanks for the cache and the smiley.

Joint {FTF} with Tommygun9 & Spudnz. Cache 42 of 42 - Out with Tommygun9 & Spudnz on an afternoon excursion to the mountains. Got to experience a lot of different climates on today's adventure.. Rain, hail, sun, wind and even a bit of snow thrown in for good measure! The lucky last cache of the day. Got notification that this cache had been published whilst we were venturing off into the snowy wilderness. Decided to give this one a crack on the way home but werent very hopeful of a first to find as it was beginning to get dark and the cache had been published for quite some time.. but low and behold once we finally arrived at the spot and TG9 cracked the code we found an empty log book! Cheers FTC marisa&kaleb! FP for the construction and effort!

Published

Yay! Managed to grab a joint {FTF} with SpudNZ and Hunterhilson at 1950 after a mission that involved A LOT of snow.
Further info will be added once I've logged the rest of today's mission.
