We have been sitting on 613 finds for far too long, so I thought I would take advantage of a summer Sunday and try and up the count a little. I parked the car down by Kawaroa pools and set off on which would turn out to be an eight kilometre loop taking me as far as Upjohn Street.

Only three finds today, but that's fine. We like to do things a little at a time.

This was a relatively quick find even though it was nicely hidden. Nice and dry inside, and the little Welsh trackable is still there. Thanks for the cache.

Dropped TB in

Unusually I was still asleep when this came live, and FTF had gone by the time I was out and about mid-morning. A well known shortcut available to rogainers on foot that is not easily available to cyclists so knew where it was and quick find. TFTC

Haven't done much Caching lately... But when this one popped up nearby NZPricetag and I had to go and have a crack... After initially stumbling across an even more hidden stairway... We soon found where we were meant to be and also the cache... Thanks for the Cache Smile
