Nice to have a few park and grabs along the cycle path to tick off with the kidseven at 9pm at night! TFTC.
staying in the area for a few days, this is my first one for today, no one around so was a quick find, tftc
Found while in the scooter coming back from the beach. The log is quite hard to sign. TFTC
Today we are in the area and surrounding area of Gisborne. We also visited this tradi, found it, and signed the logbook.

Summer Geocaching Road Trip - Day 4 - In and around Gisborne. It's been a while since I've been off on a road trip and this one has been on the cards for quite a while. I plan to visit some parts of the country where I've done very little caching before and hope to complete the qualification for a challenge cache in Nelson. No problems here. Cache found as per the hint. Managed to make my mark on what's left of the log. TFTC, Biggles.
Fairly certain where it was located was not the intended place. Have put it somewhere less obvious to muggles. Log is saturated so could not sign, needs replacing.
Delighted to have found this one as it was on the ground covered with leaves.replaced it where I think it should be

Took longer to dodge the traffic to cross the road than it did to make the actual find. TFTC

Happy to say that I have finally avenged the DNF from two years ago it was a mission to get there, there were scooter incidents but it’s done and we are happy 
Found on a geocaching bike ride along this excellent trail. Soon found and good to see the contents are dry after heavy overnight rain. Thanks COs.
Took a short break from my morning run to take a peek at this one. No pen on hand, sorry, so took a picture of the logs. TFTC!
Managed to find this one between cold showers of rain and stiff winds. We are on holiday from Wellington and we were not planning on this weather! Never mind, we carried on to Sponge Bay where it was even windier! TFTC
Nice quick find. Very chilly this morning and this walking is not warming me up at all.
TFTC! Had a heart attack from a stealthy muggle but we much gathered looking like weirdos than give away what we were doing
The sun was out again, so I was going the make the most of my remaining time. Quick find after a quick walk! TFTC!!
Took a bit of poking around while the traffic whizzed past but finally got it! TFTC
With a hint like that it shouldn’t be difficult to find, but in fact there were several little hiding places and only one had the treasure.
A nice quick find. I got the bike off the back of the car to find this series of caches. It's a nice cycle track resource for the cyclists! It was a bit disconcerting sitting at GZ watching a fully loaded logging truck coming around the corner at full speed.
Christmas holiday road trip to Auckland. Day six, in and around Gisborne.
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

The best place for a break, plenty of shade to relax in. Thx for placing!
Final one of 12 caches located in the Gisborne area on the last day of our Labour Weekend stayover. A reasonably quick find. #2822. TFTC.
Weekend in Gisborne for the Daffodil Show, time to find some caches. Thanks davesnz for the cache.
Thanks for the series. This was our last cache on the cycle as we has done the first half then drive to the far end and walk back the other way.
Found on my trip north enjoying the caches in the area. Enjoying my time in Gisborne
Off on a 5 day mission from Northland to the East Coast with the main target being the last two CANZ caches that I had not yet found. The opportunity to grab some $25 airfares to Napier was just too good to miss, even though it was winter and the days might be short and the weather might be dodgy.
Day one though was a real mission, with early morning fog for the drive to Auckland, untold time navigating the long Akl parking lots, delayed flights before we took off and then again in the air before we could land causing a missed connection for the rental cache mobile pick up. To top it off, the weather was cold and wet, but I still managed four caches in the dark.
Day four dawned much better with a cloudless sky but still a chilly sou'west wind. Our accommodation was in Wainui Beach, so while Mrs had a sleep in, I headed out for an early morning exercise jaunt along this cycleway. Was surprised how many walkers were using it this morning and so a fair bit of stealth was required before making the cache retrieve. No problems with this one. TFTC

For my personal challenge of working towards getting my calendar on GC.COM to be at least the same shade of green or darker I need to sign off at least 12 caches today. I won't grumble if I find one or two more
. Today I decided to go a drive out from Kaiti to Okitu.
These GZs aren't a barrier to me.
Cheers for the cache.

Day 4 of our NZ trip, and after a long drive from Rororua we figured we needed some exercise. We borrowed bikes at the motel and headed out on the cycle trail. Great series! TFTF Greetings from .
On a very wet day we had to grab some caches for the day before settling in for the night. Mr TW did a grand job of driving between the caches and managed some superb parking. Many thanks for this little series and we had a great job getting wet.
Cache had gone for a walk, so replaced with a smaller container that hopefully will be harder for muggles to spot.
This had been a planned trip in the company of HKCB to Whangarei but as the weather wasn't the best in the north we thought we would bring this trip forward and head over here to see what we could locate as neither of us had done a whole lot around this area.
Leaving home 7pm Friday evening and returning by midnite Saturday, 954kms travelled and approx. 70 caches located along with about 8 DNF's.
Thanks to all the CO's whom have put out these caches for us and completing the maintenance to keep them going.
The start of a new day and after a few hours sleep it was time to see what we could find with the real challenge being the new virtual as that was a primary goal for the trip. With the light up and no rain the day was looking good for a few caches. With the drizzle and grey skys we had the area to ourselves, so with a little inventive parking and some quick finds we were off again.
Thank you for the placement, thanks for the cache.

This weekend had been booked into headed to Whangarei with Cats&Dragons for a bit of caching, but as the weather wasn't looking flash at all, so we decided to head East instead to Gisbourne as we both hadn't done much caching in te area. Leave home about 7pm Friday, and returning home midnight Saturday meant we got a fair bit of caching time in for the limited time we had. All up we found just under 70 caches in total, so a big thanks for all the CO's for placing and maintaining the caches we found on this trip.
No bikes with us so turned thes into P'N'G's. A nice quick find here.

Maintenance visit to site to check geocache. Replaced with new cache container and log in original location as per description.
Another one too busy with traffic, but brief look yielded nothing in obvious places. Another day...
I have an alert on my phone to let me know when there are airfares from Wellington to anywhere for under $20. A few months ago I booked a return ticket to Gisborne for today... $19 each way. My plan is to find as many caches as I can and then head home to the Hutt Valley in time for dinner. A great plan if you ask me!
The weather played its part too. It was forecast for cold with a few showers but it turned out fine and reasonably warm. However, it was even better in Wellington today according to the news tonight.
I had a great day. Unfortunately, many of the caches I looked for were in need of maintenance and some were impossible for me to find.
I had high hopes for this series of caches. It seemed I would be able to get a few nice and easy park and grabs to make up the numbers. I spent long enough searching for this cache to be pretty sure it is not there!

Had a big look, dont think thier could be a container the size reported at GZ, there will be a theme to my logs today unfortunately.
I rode ahead to this one and spotted the cache as W.E.K.A. was walking up to it.
Nice hide.
Thanks.
Nice hide.
Thanks.
Not hard to find this cache on me stroll from K to W today 
It was rather exposed and sitting out in the open [:o]
No muggles have noticed it,
so I signed the logbook,
and pushed it back into its hidey hole
The hiding spot isn't quite big 'nuff though,
so the cache still sticks out a bit

Travelling around the East Cape for the long ANZAC weekend and now reaching the home straight into Gisborne.
Saw this was a little series on the biking track so as we were in the car it was a quick find of all the series through here.
Thanks for the cache series placement to boost some numbers for our day.
