Yew-logy (Waikato) Cambridge, North Island, New Zealand
By kiwis69 on 14-Feb-15. Waypoint GC5MG20

Checked today & agree its gone. Sad to see the tree has been affected by repeated searches, so am archiving instead of replacing.

need to check this one

Couldn't find it!!

4 of us had a good search, but no luck.

Couldn't find it but found lots of ants

No luck finding this one. Spent a few minutes here looking in the most obvious location. We circled a few times just in case the cache had wandered a wee bit but we couldn't spot anything. We will come back some time for another go .

Cool

Good

Couldn't find this one. Looked in all the obvious places, got all scratched up by the yew tree. Had to give up in the end because the dog was getting impatient

Trying to get my geo - mojo back, I decided to visit one of my old haunts (haha, get it?) where I used to take our dog for a walk as I was in the area visiting mum. I had to extend the search a bit, moved the cache to where I thought it should be according to the hint.

Nice spot!

I arrived early in town for dinner so went hunting for caches. I wandered around from another cache to find this one. I then had to wander around the graveyard looking at headstones while I waited for a muggle to leave. When he did I found the cache but not where the hint suggested. TFTC

.

Grabbed the TB but can't log it yet. Will wait until the previous cacher records leaving it here.

In Cambridge for the day with our cycle group to look at the Velodrome and do the Te Awa River ride. Very impressive. Enjoyed the opportunity to grab a few smileys afterwards as well. Great day out.
Looked on the wrong side to start with, but it was an easy find once we really got down to business. Nice cache. In TB. TFTC

found with nanna.c-super.pops and nufrat signing as nnd, tftc

out for the day with nufrat and diesel894. heavy rain but didn't deter us. enjoyed the challenge of this puzzle. logged caches as NND. the cache was as the hint said but not where the hint said, took a bit longer than it should but still found it, tftc

even rain wasnt going to stop us here, found a little bit away from the hint but it still worked, tftc

Still nicely nestled. TFTC

#592- On my way home to the Mt. After our annual girls weekend in Hamilton Yay. Trying to get as many caches as I can over the weekend.
Hint made it harder to find, argh so a bit of searching in the wrong place. But I widened the search and there it was. Tftc

A bit harder, but finally got it. TFTC

Saw a couple of DNF's on this and thought uh oh. Mr b looked and said I think it's gone. Mrs b came in from a different angle and found in first place looked. Day one of a 4 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back to collect as many caches as we can. Log signed as b&p.Tftc

Was rather dark by the time we got here so could not find

No luck for me here today.

There was a mower muggle driving up and down when we arrived, but he soon headed off in the other direction leaving me free to search.
The container was soon spotted & log signed .
Left a pet rock - a snake
Thanks for setting this up

Thanks for placing this cache here, and explaining the green belt. Being in a motorhome with two dogs, I am always looking for a spot with ample parking, and a place to run the dogs.
This park area (not the cemetery) hit the spot for all 3 of us.
TFTC

Omg that was tough..... Lots of fun xox

Found with teamhysteria...TFTC

Nestled

Found

Not where our gps lead us to but figured out all the clues and found it within minutes

Had to re-read the discription after starting to look, then i clicked as what the clue meant. After reading some others cachers logs, i knew abit better what i was looking for. After finding it, i decided that it took me much longer then it should of. TFTC, its a good one. Just as a side note, i had a giggle to myself reading the last log posted, then it happened to me. Time to head home and start taking the tree out of my clothes.

Nowhere near the fence or at the base but I put it back exactly where I found it. Brought half the tree back to the car with me lol. Took a bit of shaking to get it all off my clothes. What a tranquil little cemetery.

Interesting location. Close to a cemetery. Waited for an old man to leave before finding it.

A nice little find. We had to extend our search a little bit further round from the fence. TFTC

We were short of time so could only have a very quick look for this one today...will have to come back when we have more time.

There was a funeral on in the distance as we drove up to this cache today. Nice quick find, once we read one of the previous logs, and the age of the finder. Of course then had the issue that we'd signed the log & was about to put it away when another car drove up. Stood around for a while waiting to see if he was there for the cache or the funeral. HE continued to sit in his car. We stood around admiring the grave sites for a bit. He still sat in his car. Finally casually I went over to the gate to be obvious, while my partner in crime casually leaned up against the hide to replace the cache. We then headed back to the car, only to see him finally getting out. We watched out the back window to see where he was heading... .... It was to the funeral.

Found it with help from 2yo. exchanged goodies

My IPhone had gone flat so relied my cycling companion for the coordinates. #6 for the morning. Found the spot and as I have longer arms I reached for it. Filled in log and replaced. A few muggles with dogs walked past so turned tap on as if washing something. Not good when one has a full bladder.

Again NZPatoto got me on a bike to do the Leamington Area. #6 of 8 today. NZPatoto found. Again I had the right spot, me mate was on the other side of drive, but lucky she came, as she has longer arms and is skinner she could reach between the gaps. Had some muggles walking dogs so turned on water tap as a distraction. Wouldn’t recommend that if you have a full bladder.

the gps was "dead" on lol

TFTC

Good spot but no trackable.

Very tricky and bushy

Cool find c:

Easy!

Nice hide TFTC

Thanks

Found thanks

We felt a bit funny poking around looking for it while others were paying their respects at graves. A nice easy find☺

Found it after a bit of a search everywhere but where it was lol thank goodness for the bright lid. Dropped off a TB and took the book as I couldn't close the lid. TFTC

Came here on an evening caching walk while staying the night in the area. Found the cache after a short search, it was well hidden despite the good description and hint. Signed log, TFTC

Definitely need to read the description but then it's a easy find. Would recommend a torch if looking at night but all up good cache.

Nice easy find. TFTC

Lucky for the cloured lid

Really quick find today, last time we couldn't attempt it as there was a funeral in progress TFTC.

Nice spot tftc

A quick find after a lap of the tree. Cheers.

The holiday season at last! Off to Auckland to see my folks. Caching all the way.

Thanks to all the CO's for their hides.

Littlest found it. Yay first find.

Quick find on a quiet day thanks

Peaceful resting place
Tflc

Had to think for a minute. Peaceful spot. Was at a funeral here not long ago. SL TFTC.

More than one find at this location ?!

Time for a stroll around Cambridge. This was where I came across the most muggles all day. Nice hide. Thanks very much kiwis69

Nice easy find before the rain came again thanks

tftc nice area

This is the Leamington cemetery, from the time before Leamington and Cambridge amalgamated. The Cambridge cemetery is at Hautapu.
+ a marble, - nothing.

Forgot to log my visit on the internet - wrote it in the log book though. I think this was the date?, but could be wrong. Quick, easy find.

Poked there and poked here but got there in the end.

Pretty tricky

Fifth find today and after finding an unopened can of waikato in the tree, I made a quick find of the cache shortly after.
I wanted to drop off a TB I'd had for a while and this was a nice spot and a good sized cache to do so.
A beautiful day, if only there was more time.
Thanks kiwis69.

TB Dropped off.

Great hide! TFTC

A quick find in the dark, cache in good order. I thought this one would be easier with the cover of darkness, 11.30pm fit the bill nicely. Quite amusing, I used to live around the corner during my high school years. Had absolutely no idea this cemetery was here. The things you learn geocaching lol.

Thanks for another dot day find kiwis69

Well nestled

Good to return to this area, approaching from a different direction today. One car parked right in front of Gz, but luckily it was empty so I could hunt freely. Eventually found cache on the ground so returned to were I thought it should have been according to hint.

Yay

Fun

Found with Toastice. THANKS!

TFTC... Found with juniors easy find

Fathers Day 2015 - an absolute perfect day to be out caching.




My wife was visiting her good friend who had recently had her first child - so not particularly keen to stay for all that I took the opportunity to grab Andrew on his first fathers day and take him geocaching!
The hint was quite handy here as the cache was well nestled in quite high too Tricky to spot but it didn't take to long - no time for exploring though - it's more about the numbers today.




Cheers again again kiwis69

And now the 7th.

Finding a few on my way back to Auckland

TFTC

Found this one on our second try. Son was more awake this time. TFTC.

Had time to complete this 4 set of caches on this side of town. No problems here with the cache soon located. No visitors at the cemetery today so had a wander about at the same time. TFTC

Another Cambridge cache is found and the caching duo continue on their quest to find all Cambridge caches. T4tc

We be back!

Mrs Dragon wanted to see what had been happening around here with the new roading projects underway so after lunch it was a quick little side bar out here for a view and a cache or few.
This made a nice quick find and all good. the neighbours were nice and quiet which makes hunting for that elusive cache all that much easier

thanks for the placement

1048 Doing a cycle ride around Cambridge collecting caches. Came up through the gully. Lovely little walk way. Little stream to follow. Quiet stroll around the long term residences before collecting cache on the exit.

Enjoy visiting these lonely quiet places. No problems finding the cache. SL TFTC

On a short road trip with tmann421. Enjoyed the area collecting caches along the way.

TFTC

A couple of quick peeks and I had the cache in hand. TFTC.

A lovely (if cold) day in Cambridge- ideal for an afternoon's caching while on a short visit from the South Island. A lovely little cemetery- very peaceful- and no-one around today, so a nice quick find. tftc

Very quiet here today, no-one else about. Nice quick find.

WELL .... I finally got it ... Yep, the cache name! Has nothing to do with the Yew Tree, (as it's a conifer). Yeeeeeww Logy, is a statement, a request . Yeeeeww Logy ... Meeeeee Logy! Which I have just done! Cheers '69er and your youngest.

In plain sight but beware I hid it on a... See hint anyway TFTC

Um did you get the message if not... In plain sight but beware I hid it... See hint anyway TFTC

We didn't know this was here! Soon found, took a lizard, left a robot.

Was kicking myself when I found the cache because we looked for 7 minutes and the cache was striaght ou in front of us. TFTC.

Found lying on the ground in the open. Still intact, so hid it better.

A nice peaceful and well maintained part of town. TFTC
