Well done great spot tolm a bit of thinking

Next to another native buried

Had a good search, but definitely not at the hint spot as far as we could tell.

Nearly stood on it

Another nicely hidden one - thanks!

beware of barbed wire, gave up as this was the second one on the trail that resulted in nothing but rotting sticks.

Found it!!

Hmm... we'll come back for another look on this one

Out this way today, great find for the kids they were very happy. Signed log al good hear

Having found this lovely little walk a few months through geocache / we decided to go again and having a lovely lunch at the delicious Te Puna Deli. We got to this corner and remembered we hadnt found the cache last time to our delight the owner had replaced it and now we can turn a Did not find into a success!

Good spot

Great spot

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czechia

this one was a great hideRead the hint Thanks

Had the weekend off so plan was to head to Tauranga way Great wee walk with EyespyBenNice wee find thanks

Checked on cache today - it was indeed missing. Replaced today with a 1 litre camo'ed sistema

Lovely walk but alas this one beat us… nearby muggle didn’t help

Had a good look. There is some fallen branches around. May have been ‘cleaned up’ by workers

Hcdsd

A nice easy find, thanks.

Rychlý bodík, diky

We looked in the wrong spot and it took a while to find it

Another easy find, but most of all thank you for bringing me here. TFTC

My first one!

Was on the other-side of track. Pen just about working.

Easy find

Nice find for the kids this one and spot on hint that we paced out together. Lots of swaps that the kids loved. Pen with the log might be running low on ink but thankful it was there cause we forgot ours today! TFTC

Found it yesterday on the 29/01/22

Found it wasn’t expecting it to be where we found it.

Found not where we thought it would be, the hint and gps had us on the other side of the track

Mrs Taylana spotted this one from the track. Cache is in great condition with plenty of swappables. TFTC

Tftc

Found it. Not quite sure it was in the right place. Was hidden poorly. Will put it closer to Point 0.

Thanks. Very lovely walk here.

Nice cache. Beautiful spot and only down the road from us. Can't believe we have not been here yet. Thank you

Thanks

Revisiting so we could log and get a smiley! Boys were chuffed with the tradeables, thanks heaps

Lovely hide at the crossing.

Our first time at the reserve and it was fun to find an easy cache.

Great cache - kids loved it!

Even though there was a bit of rain i still enjoyed the walk. No one else around. Tftc

Thanks for your amazing cache.

Easy find here, coords accurate, great condition and full of swag. I dropped a TB I've been carrying for a while with the aim of returning it to the Tauranga cacher who released it a while ago. Took nothing, SL, TFTC

Another quick easy find. Tftc

Nice quick easy find. Glad it was on the right side of the fence as the area was closed off due to construction. Tftc

12.30pm. A quick find here. Have been to this reserve before but none of the earlier caches have survived.
David and Noeline.

In the area, so stopped by and checked on this one, all good.

I went the wrong way to start with. But found it in the end

Nice walk. Neat cache with lots of goodies in. TFTC

Nice cute lil easy cache, love it ^~^ tftc

New Zealand entered Level 2 (Covid-19) on Thursday 15 May 2020, and it is now considered safe to resume geocaching in New Zealand. Wishing you all happy & safe geocaching.

Covid-19: have decided to disable our caches until it is safe to resume geocaching.

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching. Great walk for us old buggers thanks except for the low life in there with dope.

Found this one as thankfully it didn’t involve using my brain much. Still being bitten by sand flies

Super quick find and a good walk thanks!

Good one for the kids

Bring bug spray! You'd think as Kiwi's we'd know this by now haha but being a 27 degree day, it slipped our mind. A quick grab under the shelter of trees before heading back to the car along the peaceful walk.

Great area to walk through, cool hide.

TFTC

Nice walk, easy to find

Nice easy find with the mini Brennaz today. Tftc.

Second find by little man as we work our way around the track, great hides especially for the little ones.

Kids found it

Awesome a two choice finds great walk , lovely reserve

so cool lots of friendly fantails

Came back with KrystalKath for a walk and to visit GC80YJW. Dropped Switzerland Flag Tag TB which I meant to do yesterday.

Continuing around the bush path for another kid-friendly geocache.
Another lovely spot with everything for the kids... an easy find, a good sized cache, lots of swag, prolific bird life, and a walk in the open air. TFTC

After dodging a whole lot of cicadas we got to this one.

Found rather easily, even tho we wandered around GZ for a few minutes. Kids enjoyed the SWAG. Tftc

Was walking around the track when I thought that I should check my GPS and see how close I was to gz. Turns out the cache was only 5m away, and soon had a signed logbook by me. TFTC

Lovely reserve that we would drive past if not for geocaching. The geodog enjoyed it too. Thanks Lion Fish for bringing us here. TFTC

Once again in close to muggles walking track and good hint but which sign (sigh). Track a bit slippery for Ebike.
Well done TFTC

Boys found it quickly. Thanks

Once I figured out the right direction to go, I spotted the cache without any further problems. TFTC.

We enjoyed a nice walk through this lovely reserve that we didn't know was here and would never have known if not for Geocaching.

Thanks for taking us there Lion Fish. Have a FAV.

Nice walk. Lovely find.

I looked over and saw a bright green thing and found it!!thank u that was a lot of fun!!!!

Spending the day adventuring with my little cousins Brianna and Renee! TFTC

Yay, another good hide. TFTC

Found it, thanks

Heading over the BOP this evening with Mr McC for an evenings caching before the event in the morning. So this was going to be a long evening and lots of fun. Hopefully the rain would hold off for most of the time (although I didn't hold out too much hope for that) but the caches would be in good order (was sure that that would be the case). All caches signed "MCCD" or a variation of as we got more tired as the evening progressed.

Started at the most northerly point and worked our way back towards Tauranga. Was sure that I had cleared out this area previousley but then hey you never know. In both cases the cache had been left out in the wide open so repositioned (once signed) to the appropriate hint item.

Great place for a cache and a very pleasent wander (even as it persisted down)
Thanks for the placement, Thanks for the cache

Out with Cats&Dragons on a late night - early morning cache run. Logs were signed MCCD but may have varied a bit as tiredness settled in. Thanks for placing this cache and giving us a reason to visit

A fun find and very quick which with kids is always a bonus. Thanks for the hint!

2860 Mission today was to grab some caches in order to fulfill the requires for cache GC42CNY 12-12-12: A Challenge? (Rotorua). I also wanted to add a 12 of my own and that is to find all within a 12 hour period. There were none in the Hamilton area that were helpful so came for a day in Tauranga.
This was 7 of the 12. Enjoyed the walk around this reserve. Never new it was here. Cache quickly located.

Gorgeous scenery.

A lovely walk round this walkway. A nice quick and easy find TFTC

**11036**
Have seen these caches on the map as we have driven passed a couple of times but have not managed to stop each time. Did the caches that had been here previously. A nice area. TFTC

Easy find good walk

This cache, along with I'Anson Reserve No.1, was a little exposed so I bedded them both down with a little natural. A lovely morning's walk, with the sunlight streaming through the trees. TFTC.

Tftc - cache us in good condition and we'll kept

Currently, our youngest cache member spends a wonderful time in New Zealand.
Of course, she must seek and find some caches in this time for the Team!
Many Greetings from the Team-Headquarter in Germany and thanks for the cache.

Carrying on our morning tea walk around this lovely reserve. Lots of work is being done with weeds and landscaping. Sveppi was admiring the neighbour's scenic backyard and I followed the compass on the GPs. Again a distinct geotrail led to the cache. Everything is clean, dry and tidy in there. Lovely reserve, so close to the main road but hardly noticeable. Thanks for showing us.

So pleased we have geocaching to show us these neat little areas. Morning tea break and the ground is wet under foot but the cache is in good condition. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

Woohoo!

Out with My.Precious and 9 yr old muggle grandie. Thought we'd introduce grandie to this grownup treasure hunt game. Signed as TT2M.P+1
We spotted the cache, then asked the +1 if they could pick it out, saying it was in a similar position as the previous cache. Once collected the log was signed and as we were about to return it an older couple asked if we were out on a nature walk and if we found what we were looking for. We answered yes.

Out with tigatat2 and my grandy for a few cashes today and as an intro for the grandy into this little pastime of "treasure hunting".
We split up to take different paths to this one wandering through the lovely reserve in the urban fringes.
Tiga spotted this one first as others were still sorting out which side of the track to explore but all spotted it when we knew where to look. .
Retrieved the log for signing with our joint name of TT2M.P+1 (+1 for the grandy) while grandy explored the contents.
Some passing muggles asked us if we'd found what we were looking for as I stood there with my notebook and signing pen which was answered with an enthusiastic Yes. They assumed we were on a nature walk. Lol.
TNLN and replaced where and as.
Tftc.

Neat trip to a new place. Looks like someone else was here before us today. Took something and left something.
