A quick detour and find on my way to find a coffee this morning. Thanks Ric1942#5565Found using Cachlymsc_20, formerly caching as msebn

Smart to glue it on to a small piece of wood . Nice hide Jace 9 yrs old

Had a check and found it had gone. some work had been done near GZHave replaced and updated Clue.

2nd time trying to find this one ans still can't find it

This one clearly was not meant to be for me today. I looked for about 15min and got quite cut up by the grasses. I strongly suspect that it is here I just can't find it!I will be back with the rest of our clan's eye and our welly boots for another try in the futureTFTC

Amazing cache hid well hope everyone has as much fun as I did

Nice

Didnt find. Path that we assumed it was on was overgrown and we couldnt get though.We went down near where the pond was as well but no luck. No idea about the hint, either

Had a good look around, deep into the pond but couldn't find it.

We're new and needed an extra hint but was mind blown once we found it, awesome job

Remarkably solid underfoot considering the last weeks weather. Looked in a few wrong spots before reading the hint and I was straight there

Quite hard 4 me and my siblings lol maybe another time

very cool thanks

Yay

First find since 2019 on this one

Had a check while passing and all good.
Not too difficult to get to but counting to 8 is not as easy as when placed.
About 1m above GL

Nope, can't see it today....

Too many mosquitoes to hang around. Will return at a later date.️

Was def damp down there & was some yuck rubbish too. Another time

Tftc

Found

Thank you for the replacement
Nice easy find with the clue

Had a good look around the bits that weren't too boggy but no luck. Recommend gumboots as we expect it's a little bit further into the bush.

Came today for a check.
Certainty a bit wet and slippery, but all well with cache.
Have changed container to make it a little less difficult.

Too wet to walk in

No luck today.

A bit overgrown in places

Next time.......

After a long look no find. Lots of Bush in the way. CO may need to check.

No sign of this.
Attacked by vicious spikes...
Please could C O check?
Here with Grandson .

Visiting from Australia
Thanks for the cache

Our first cache for the day (our goal today was to find 17 caches and end with a total of 2500 - which we achieved). We were unsure where the private property finished here and where the reserve started.Finding GZ was not too hard, although we all had the aroma from the onion weed on our shoes for a while after. Mrs HeMaLuDy read the hint as Mr HeMaLuDy went to move something out of the way, with hearing the hint he had a quick look at what he had in his hand and discovered he was holding the cache. A lucky find. Found with darthcacher1 and purply (and NZTravellers who had previously found it but forgotten where it was).

Nice camo, unfortunately enteted at wrong point and now have to walk home with sodden shoes TFTC

On the way home from dentist appointment in Henderson I stopped off for a few more caches towards the last hidden creature. This one had an under rated terrain rating, with boggy ground underfoot, and a fallen tree to negotiate past, but easily found.

Its a good job I'm wearing good waterproof boots as this was more than just a little bit boggy. Followed a previous trail to the GZ and made a quick find in the first place I checked. Log us very wet, TFTC

As I pulled up, 2 car loads of people were sitting in their cars in the parking spaces, thankfully they quickly left. Ass I disappeared into the bush one of the neighbors came and checked what I was up to. Thankfully he knew what caching was, it it would have been an interesting conversation

??

Found..

After attending an event in honour of Mary Hyde at the Coffee Club on Lincoln Road, it was time to find a few more caches before heading off to have dinner with my son. Not too wet on the way to GZ today. Unfortunately the log is soaked and slimey. I managed to make my mark on it but it probably needs a new log. TFTC, Biggles.

A quick find but the log is rather damp. Luckily I had a selection of writing utensils including one that is able to deal with this type of obstacle.

The name suggested is was gonna be some bad place but it was fine this morning and the count was right. TFTC

I poked around for a few minutes before I went back to count again. When I returned to GZ, the cache was on the ground, so I must have dislodged it from its hiding spot. I didn't know where it was supposed to be, so I probably put it in the wrong spot. The CO (Hi, Ric) may want to take a look. TFTC.

2nd visit and got it thanks to the help of a friend, I was on a different level last time I came.

We weren't sure we were going to find this due to the previous log. The local guards informed the entire neighbourhood there were strangers in the hood! Wandered down to GZ , followed the hint and had it in our hands in double quick time!. Now to sneak past the sentries! TFTC

Tried searching for this one yesterday and used the hint everywhere I could but no luck :/ looks like alot of garden work has taken place recently so hoping someone else can find it?

Found with keylev. Thanks for the cache.

Found with keylev. Thanks for the cache.

After an unsuccessful first cache of the day we headed over this way. At first we attempted the harder route and realised how wet/muddy it was going to get so stopped and went the sensible way.

Soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for the fun.

After our first DNF nearby we decided to walk to this cache to at least get one "run on the board"! Found the small park and as per usual MrNZT was following his GPS arrow quite literally and failed to notice the POND sign, so as feet started to get rather mucky our troop decided to try another approach! The locals certainly yapped loudly enough that stealth was no longer an option, but with the whiff of onion weed in the air and rather soggy feet we found the cache. Yay, our first find of the day! TFTC!

Found a little while ago but was in completely wrong place and needed a bit hint from CO. thanks Ric, and a very sneaky hide to, cheers Roger (V).

TFTC

Did not have pencil today.

Found it 10 days ago with the master_ninja007. Forgot to log it hehe. TFTC!

When we found the right access to it it was easy.

Very quick and fast. Was poking out. Put it tucked away. TFTC!

Figured I'd done most of the hard work today so let alpenmilch80 take the honours here - she beat me to GZ and then beat me to finding the nicely hidden cache.

Bit damp underfoot but we were pretty much soaked through anyway at this point so it didn't matter. TFTC

Decided to split and conquer the way to GZ. I was the lucky one selecting the easier route. We both made it to GZ to find the geocache. TFTC

Gumboots recommended! Thankfully changed out of my jandals before heading to the left (thanks Showtechie). Found the cache quite quickly. Great idea for camo, may have to use it myself Not sure that the cache is in quite the right place, but still easy to find. TFTC

Wow that was a cunning hide. I was certain I was in the right spot, and I thought I would grab something to poke about with. Good thing I did. Use the small reserve to the left, as I went blundering through the undergrowth to get to it, and attracted more than my fair share of mosquitoes. TFTC

Stopped off to grab this one after work as it was getting dark. No Dogs barking, no flashlight to draw attention, only the light from my phone. Found GZ quickly, but cache took a long time to find as no matter where I looked, it just was not there. After about 20 minutes of rummaging around in the dark, even looking deep into clue thinking I just can't find it, I spotted something on the ground... Turned out I had moved the camo and cache in my rummaging around for the cache without spotting it. TFTC

This one took me longer than it should haha, I initially had the hint right but then started doubting myself and started searching in all the wrong places. Eventually headed back to my original spot and made a quick find nicely hidden. TFTC

Bushwacking! tFTC

We beat around the bush but was great fun

First did a bit of bushranging then tried the path on the left. Much easy especially if you're doing it in the dark! TFTC cool hide.

This one took a while. The dogs from accross the street didn't help my stealth approach!

Arrived at GZ and did a bit of searching, was just about to leave when I realised I already had touched the cache. Very crafty

Nice geocache. The dogs were barking and I didn't want to seem too dodgy this early when neighbours are getting ready and leaving for work

Very clever hiding place

Went and checked today and it was missing. Replaced and all up and running.

Very bushy area, damp at foot, sill did not find it.

The dogs were barking and I thought I'd made sense of the hint and GPS showed me in the right spot but couldn't find it. Will have to try again some other time.

Tftc fun find

Another great find while in the area.

Thanks for setting up this cache.

Brilliant hide! Followed others footprints and used the clue. Log is dry but bag has a hole in it so may need to be replaced heading into winter. I see what others mean about the neighbours dogs, yappy wee things aren't they?

Thankfully this didn't take too long to find as two dogs in a nearby house certainly let the neighbourhood know I was there. They barked the whole time I was there, but I quickly worked out where to look. Nice hide.

Took of group of special kids from waitakere college on their first experience geocaching! They loved it. A great hide. TFTC

Found this cache while out for a night walk. A clever way to hide a cache. TFTC.

accidentally found this when I knocked it looking. tftc. a tad wet today. recommend coming at this cache from the left hand side much less wet.

Thankfully the weather has been fine so we did not have to get our feet wet.

Clever hide but a quick find nevertheless. T4tc

Went out this evening with yorkshirekiwi83 for a couple of hours caching out West. A quick find here of the uniquely hidden cache! Fav point added! TFTC!

Vistra and I popped out this evening to collect a few more caches out west. NIce hide well done, but quickly found, TFTC

Got to the right area and followed our first instinct which proved wrong, did a bit of counting and had another look and got it. Nicely crafted cache. Thanks

Found it! Love it tftc! Awesome camo! [^]

came here a few weeks ago and some residents were working on a car in the end parking bays. Gave it a miss then, but it was a straightforward find today.

TFTC

Very nice camo, good hint and a great hide. Fav point from me. Thanks.

Was out doing Secret Santa then afterwards popped in and found this well crafted cache
in the pouring rain.We actually found this by accident because when we were searching we knocked It and
it revealed itself.
Hope to see more caches from you Warwick!!
Well crafted and TFTC

Nice find, cool place to explore! Never been there before thanks for the cache!

Nice hide, fun find, and only slightly damp under foot. Thanks for the Cache and the trip to a new unknown spot in the West.

Found quickly useing clue very well done tftc Lokky 1 12 December 2014 12:11

Love the camp nice find

Quick early morning find in the gentle drizzle. Thx Ric for another great hide - love the camo!

Did not know this park or street existed. Great camo. Very dry underfoot today but not so above foot, as I walked back out past neighbouring house he started to water his garden along the fence line, oh well a bit muggy tonight anyway.

Passing by on my bike so thought I would check this one out and success. What a clever camo. Not sure what this location will be like in mid winter, might need a pair of waders then!

On night shift last night when this was published so had to wait till this morning. Great place for a cache and very clever camo. Looking forward to Rics next cache and hopefully im not at work. Tftc

We were too busy with Christmas tree customers to contemplate running for this one when it was published, but decided to make it our daily cache find a few hours later.
Liked the interesting camo and hide. Thanks.

Published

Found it with FMZ...

Dam it!!!!!! asked the person with the car but wasn't able to get a ride.
But congrats on the hide it sounds good

Saw this cache come live and got into the geo caching wagon to head to the search area, but not quick enough gorby and Fmz had already arrived on there jet packs and signed the log. cleaver camo and Hide Tftc.

This cache was published just as I was about to leave work so figured I might as well make a short detour. Arrived just behind gorby and headed down to GZ to help him look. Glad it was pretty dry today. Took a couple of minutes before we had the neat little cache in hand. Nicely done. Joint {FTF} with Gorby. FTF #1694 TFTC!!!

Really cool cache /camo Warwick ! Fantastic ! Was still at work when it was published ,,,Then had to go to Manukau rd for a Christmas Party ....!!!! Anyway when I finally left I came straight to Henderson ... Unfortunately my phone has run out of data ! But while I was at work I took a good look at the satellite map ... to get an idea of where roughly it might be in the reserve /thingy ...
Lucky I had torches in my car ...
And I found it ! Totally due to the hint ! As my phone/compass couldn't work without data !!!!! Phew !
Keep them coming !!!!!!
