Forgot to write in log book

Nifty find via geotrail. Tftc!

Our first find - thanks!

Great find . Saw lots of wild rabbits at this time of the evening. Thanks for this cache

found

Had a nice wander along the path. Followed geotrail in and quick find ensued. Thanks pukeho1!

Good Cache, Book was a bit wet

I'm slowly making my way through this series of caches. They've been handy if I need to just pop out and grab one to keep my streak going, just like tonight.

A mild evening, so the stroll was no issue, and before I knew it I was at GZ. A quick dive in, play "avoid the spider" whilst trying to see where the cache was, find it, open it, sign the log, replace and then start to head back. All very straightforward.

Thanks for setting this series up.

Great spot

Quite easy because the lid was bright yellow

First time walking this part of the trail and it's lovely! Lots of muggles though. Tftc!

Easy find, signed and replaced. Tftc

Yay

First time find

My mini-computer says I need a puzzle, a small and a micro. Well, that's just two caches, so after work I decided to head north to here. I was a nice evening when I started but then it rained. Cunningly the rain held off till after I reached the point of no return. Annoying, but I may as well just carry on. Despite that it was a nice cycle along the river. At GZ I was glad of the trees, to duck out of the rain. And once I put the cache back and reappeared out of the trees I find... the rain had stopped! So that the small found, now I need a micro puzzle. Must be one near here somewhere...
Tanks for the cache and the rain shelter!

Nice quick find in the 2nd place we checked. This area is very busy on Anzac day.

Good day out on the bikes, our youngest found it. Tftc

A nice quick find while out for a walk with the fur monsters. Thanks for the cache

Nice easy find. Beware of shattered glass when searching, cleared away as much as I could. Tftc!

Saw a few rabbits on the way and was nice standing room at the cache

Found on a lovely walk by the river. Added a couple of anti damp capsule thingies. TFTC

Out in the Hutt Valley this afternoon. Quickly spotted and able to claim 766m towards the DGSc distance challenge. Thanks for the cache.

Found it

Nice find for a Saturday afternoon ride log book is wet tftc

TFTC!

Found but no pen

Yay it stopped raining. Our 3rd find this morning on our sunday walk. Nice quick find here and not too many muggles around to spot us emerging from the trees. Thanks for the cache

Back on the river trails again this week. This was another spot that looks very familiar, though this isn't a new cache and I haven't logged it before. Again I suspect this is a similar hide to elsewhere on the trail. All good here and a nice quick find. TFTC.

Good idea to take a small plastic bag. Lots of rubbish being hidden in the trees

Great cache - good to find on a great day for a walk

Grabbed during lovely walk along the Hutt. TFTC X

Grabbed this one while walking along the river bank. Left a swappable from Thailand. TFTC.

Esme Anya and Sage found it

Another hidden treasure. A bit easier than Melling to Manor #4

Good to get in the shade for a bit as it was hot on the trail today. TFTC

Tftc nice easy find yay was worried as no one had found for two months ! Nice walk

Mrs SoBad and her sister circled around to find the best way to access the cache. An instant find and a different but equally good route out to rejoin the track.
Thanks.

Not too hard to find. Spot on coords.

Has a note book and a surprise

Located cache at 1.00 pm. All in good order. Replaced as found. T.F.T.C.

Hunting for the souveniers "Last Cache of 2017" and "First Cache of 2018"at night in Lower Hutt. The plan was to get only "Last Cache of 2017", but then... I walked and walked and so on. Most time I spent for caches without any container, I think...
At the end of the tour of darkness I had five new smileys on my map and two more souveniers.
My number four was easy to find and my first cache in 2018 - I get the Souvenier !
Thanks for the Cache and many greetings from Germany!

Barely a soul around today so was nice not to worry about looking suspicious! Youngest geokid found it straight away. Tftc.

Got strange muggle looks. But found. Tftc

I did not have a rubbish bag but one is needed at GZ some dirty one about.
Cache all good .
tftc.

A nice day for a lunchtime walk along this stretch of the pathway. Had to wander past GZ initally to let the oncoming walkers go past, then doubled back for a quick find.

Found it and made sure to dodge all the bags of dog poo that owners had thrown in the bush. TFTC

My son Tim had his football practice this evening at Hutt Park. The rest of the family came down when it was finished and we went to McDonalds for dinner. Sadly no-one wanted to come geocaching after that.

So I dropped them off and came out for a walk by myself.

The cache is in good condition. All nice and dry.

Thank you

Cherrys Rule

Another quick find with spot on coords. Thank you!

#2887 a beautiful morning for a diversion on the way to work and a quick find.

Everything is fine at GZ. Log and container both dry.

Thanks for another smilie and keeping the steak going - not too far to 500 days in a row! Today is day 494

?

A nice easy find.

Unfortunately, I managed to drop my glasses somewhere in the vicinity of the cache. If anyone spots them please retrieve them and let me know so that I can arrange to get them back...

Bit of a hunt but got it!

2nd today, good thing Dad has his looking eyes on today!

Walked about 700m from a parking area specifically to get this cache during a lunch break. Found quickly as its location is hidden enough without it having to buried under stuff as well.

A quick find and a great jar. Thanks.

Quick find out walking the dogs. Forgot the pen though so will have to revisit on the next dog walk.

#436 found while walk this Sunday afternoon with Luna. Tftc.

Max found this one. Easy pick up thanks

Last cache of the day while taking the geohound for a walk. Waited out some muggles then into the bush where the cache was quickly spotted - TNLNSL and left as found.

Shame that some dog walking muggles are using this stand of bush to heave their full dogs doo bags into. Thought about a CITO but not today - really needed gloves and another big plastic bag.

Thanks for the placement pukeho1.

Nice one.

Tftc

A nice stroll after work. No problem finding it. All good. TFTC

DId a quick walk with the Geohounds, MycroMan and THe Wandering Dragons to three caches along the walkway here. The big dog (Everest) managed to lose his choke chain (if any future cachers see one lying about, please will they take it and drop me an email). Thanks for all the caches..

Did with Crystal Fairy.

Quick find but watch where you step for this one... am disgusted by the dog owners bagging their dogs mess and leaving in bushes. This was 8am and at least 7 bags of poo in here. Gives the rest of us responsible dog owners a bad name. Ok rant over! TFTC 286 25 March 2016

1619 Another stop on my bicycle ride from central Wellington to Belmont Park. Cache all good.

Quick find whilst draining around the Hutt River. TFTC

A quick find. Lots of muggles on bikes and with dogs today, all enjoying the summer sunshine. Managed to sign and return in between muggles. Tftc.

Cache # 2,790 - I had been aiming for this one's sister a bit to the north, but a muggle was planted on the bench nearby and showed no signs of moving. So took a much longer walk than planned, but enjoyed the fine weather. Lots of dog walking muggles about, but managed to duck into the cover without being seen. Instant find at the GZ and all is good with the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Find #2492. One of 16 found on a bike ride from Petone to Birchville and back. Quick find. SL TFTC

Found on my morning bike ride. TFTC
