/`Eureka`\A good little hide and find. TFTC Find #237

We had to park at the other end of the barrier and walk back to here because there was somebody too close behind us.Quick and easy find.

After finding a safe place to park it was a nice quick find. Tftc

Quick find after we found a safe place to park.

A solo excursion for Mr Coblet.I was in the area this morning exploring a few trails in the Waitakeres and hadn't intended to look for this cache but ended up taking a wrong turn and driving a few kilometres down Forest Hill Road looking for a place to turn around with someone right behind me urging me to drive faster.I finally found a place to pull over, let them pass and turned around but didn't want to waste the detour so was pleased to see this cache was nearby and stopped to look for it.A nice quick find.TFTC.

Lucky not scared of spider webs.I found signed and rehid this one I'm sure the spiders will do there bit in time too. TFTC

I don't restart work again until the 8th of Jan. With free accommodation I decided a geocaching holiday in Auckland was a good way to spend this week off. Most of the week I geocached with Yvettetb but the beginning and end I was on my own. Yesterdays focus area was around the Orakei Basin area and Saint John's. Today it was going to be Titirangi but on spotting a new cache publication our plans changed and we headed straight to the Waitakeries. We had to change our route as part of Scenic Drive Road to the Arataki visitors Centre was closed to non residents. We ended up taking the wrong road here but that wasn't a problem as we just got the caches on this road instead. We ended up doing the Arataki Centre caches and walks the next day. Thanks for your cache that was a quick and easy find

Quick find at GZ on our way back as we took the wrong road oops.Our New Year caching trip in 2024 was in and around Auckland with Lis's Crew. Today we were planning on going in and around Titirangi however a FTF popped up this morning at the Cascades so we have made a detour on our travels. Thanks for bringing me here and TFGC. What a great way to spend a sunny summers day.

Thanks first find

Easy find by the barrier

Good find. Had to look for a bit. Tftc

Found it!

Heading back to Huia now, my caching was interrupted by a downpour or two, so my next 'dry' stop was here.

Parked as close as I felt safe to and dipped out the car for a quick find.

Thanks kw12

Děkuji za kešku greetings from Czechia

Thankfully it was a quick find as it was raining. Plenty of traffic here. TFTC.

It was a quick and easy

Stoped off here on our way to our walk today and made a nice quick find.Hopefully didn’t disturb too many of the spiders.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks

Spiders kinda took over, hopefully you’re not scared of spiders

A quick and easy find here!

Thanks for placing!

Lid broken, but cache dry!

Wasn't able to locate but will return for the smiley.️

My first geocaching experience. Found this in 2015 or 2016 with my boyfriend and his mother, who I had recently met. Was a great icebreaker!

Found by MacyC95. Tftc

Easily found on the way home from Mercer Bay. Lid rusted and falls off on retrieval. TFTC

Stopped on the other side of the road and made a careful dash across it to retrieve the cache. No problem there, only a few spider webs. TFTC

Nice

Nice and easy, 12:40am dark as hell though

Heading back down towards Henderson so took this road. Overshot a little so parked up off the road and walked back to make a quick find, TFTC

Nice easy find

This morning I had some errands to attend to in the Henderson area. After those were seen to I headed further West to see what I could find. A bit of a hit and miss time on the caching front but it was all good fun in the end. No problems here. Cache found where expected. TFTC, Biggles.

Got there in the END. TFTC

#6281. I had a little bit of free time this afternoon before heading out west. There were some spectacular thunderstorms in this area earlier today (enough to close the local school) but all cleared up now. Nice quick find here. No visits for a while. Surprised how few visits some of these caches out west get. Its not that far from the central city. Signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks kw12 for the cache.

lot of spider webs cool cache

Easy find, just had to get past the cobwebs.

On our way to Piha there are many interesting places to see
We stopped here and there to look for a cache or two, fun driving

Found well and minding the traffic, gee feels like formula 1 around you

Tftc

First of new year!
All okay
Thanks!

Ryan and I were meeting some friends for a walk on one of the few open tracks in the Waitakere Ranges and stopped to find this one along the way. Nice quick find. TFTC

Out and about for a spot of cache detection on this splendid Autumn day. I was heading west, for the coast, so parked up and crossed the road to GZ. Looks like the better parking is on the north side. Anyway, didn't bother taking the GPSr out of its cradle as I was sure where it would be. And so it was. Nice to execute a super quick find. Cheers for the cache placement!

Soon found during a spell from the rain. TFTC

Without looking too suspicious we got this one quick and easy. Tftc

Quick find. Tftc.

A good one to grab and replace between car passings as this road quite busy! Great use of stealth Many Thanks

Quick find on the way between jobs. TFTC

Decided to collect a few caches in the general area, whilst we still had warm weather! Found parking nearby, a gentle stroll, and then patience, waiting for a break in the cars, so that I could retrieve the cache from its hiding place

Thanks for the hide!

Today I wanted to visit the western coast around Piha but sadly the weather was quite bad (rainy and very windy). But I don't care too much on it and so I came along here on my way to Piha. I know it is better not to stop at every cache because you'll never reach your target, but here I can't resist and got a quick and easy success.

Thanks a lot for the cache.

Riding with the bike to the falls. Easy to find. TFTC

I am heading out to stay at Piha the night before the Mercer Bay hike. This was a nice starting point. TFTC.

Vistra and I headed back out after it got a bit cooler to work on the west ones again. Quick easy find

After caching on the North Shore this morning, then taking a break from the heat this afternoon, yorkshirekiwi83 and I headed out again this evening to pick up a few local caches out West. A nice quick park and grab here, TFTC!

The last cache of the day after a successful trip out to Piha to get some smileys. IA nice quick park and grab then we were homeward bound.

We are back home from a trip to Mega where we found 385 caches in 9 days - and also back to our single cache of the day caching. Came up to Barriers corner tonight and made the easy find in the obvious spot - just what we needed, thanks.

Decided to have a crack at a few odd caches that were scattered around so tackled this one after lunch. Was surprised at just how busy it was here.,

Heading out to Piha in the rain, road nice and quiet. Pen was playing up in the rain, signature a bit illegible but log stayed dry, glad off a quick find.

A little detour on way home from work quicky saw this cache in hand tftc Lokky 1 14 October 2015 08:04

Show up to GZ... What do we see... a bunch of geocachers looking at us... haha was great to meet you all tftc was just saying to my partner the other day that we need more along this road.

After a mad rush from a previous FTF down the road with supernanny and ric1942 I came by here just in time to see harisree and evilno9 (and someone) already here and about to sign the log, luckily for me I was signed in too, the evil one is not so evil afterall! Then the log was put away. Then a few minutes later supernanny and ric1942 arrived and we all stood around the road barrier for ages yakking about this and that. Then 2 more people arrived: witchegurl and her partner. Nice to meet you witchegurl after doing several of my caches lately. So it must have looked crazy from a drivers point of view with 9 people standing road side! So i'm able to claim group FTF on this one. Cheers kw12 for the cache and the fun that came with it today.
FTF #145

A lot of toing and froing in the west tonight. Ended up with quite a large group at a remote spot in the Waitakeres. After a good chat we all went our separate ways. Tftc.

Was so exciting to get notifications of two new caches quite close to home !
Rushed to get the Simpson Rd one ( Turtle ) ...then back tracked to Forest Hill Road looking for barriers .....
Was surprising to see a lovely bunch of Cachers already here , and get to join in the chatter ...all about tricky caches and so forth !
Nice to meet you again harisree ...you've been really busy lately !
Then who should drive up but witchegurl and partner ! Good to meet you !
Thanks kw12 for the new cache !

Another FTF in the bag down to a bit of good luck more than anything.

Having spent some time up at Arataki collecting the grow caches up there I noticed this one had popped up just as kiwijian and myself were about to call it a day. Only down the road though so away we went and as we pulled up to park we could see harisree (nice to meet you) having a nosey but with no sign of the cache in hand.

We could see the cache but it was going to require some longish arms to retrieve so I stepped up, made the find and was just about to write our names when the flying gorbino turned up out of nowhere to get himself on the podium for a shared FTF.

Stayed around for a chat while the cache received some more visitors before heading off for the day. Nice way to finish up - TFTC
