Having left Isla our geodog Isla at home and came touring NZ and to collect a few caches. Easily found, and dropped TB off. TFTC
Another quick find see two baby bunny rabbits so cute great trail sun starting to shine finally found cache with xsaveya. Log damp cache all good tftc
Today we hired a bike for a tour around Hastings. There are some trails we want to do so off we go.
We found most of the caches in good condition, a few could need a little maintenance. And we must come back one more time, because we missed a few.
To all the CO’s, thanks for hiding and maintaining the caches.

I'm enjoying this series of caches and it's great to have the sun shining and not too many muggles to contend with. A quick find here.

Followed the cache path away from the highway, it led us on the right tangent. Cache found quickly. TFTC
We are away in our campervan just cruising the manawatu to Waiarapa then on to Hawkes Bay and return. During our tour we enjoyed travelling the quiet roads away from the main state highways. we enjoyed the bike trails around the Napier to Clifton and the inland trails up to Hastings and beyond, many of these trails of course were extra special because they had geocaches placed along them. Many thanks to all those who look after the caches. We hope you enjoy the same when you come into our area.
Sorry about the cut and paste if you have more than one geocache that we had found

Have been planning these caches for a few weeks in conjunction with HKCB for a mad dash and effectively a 24 hour run (so that we could spend time with our respective families) for the rest of the ensuing weekend.
Leaving Hamilton at 7pm Friday and getting home midnight on Saturday so that at least 6hours quality sleep was acheived, sleeping in the car is always a bonus (2 hours) and the remainder of the time caching around part of the country we hadn't previousley done a whole lot, but have left plenty for the next trip across the hill.
Starting a new day with only a drizzle outside and an early morning bike ride to boot.
This was the thirty second of the100+ that we acheived in that time we were over here. The Bonus was that we largely managed to stay dry, if only slightly damp on the outside.
Thanks to all the CO's for the effort and giving some great caches, sorry about the repetitive logs but then 100 is a few to cover off.
Had the place all to ourselves and even amanged to get back to the car dry
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

We had been talking about cache bash in Napier for a while, and when Cats&Dragons mentioned a trip down here this weekend I couldn't say no. The plan was to head down Friday night (leaving Hamilton about 7pm) and then cache til we can then grab a few hours sleep and then cache through til late afternoon and then head home. The plan worked well, with about 110 caches found over the 24 hour caching period.
It was the first time we had visited Napier to do a caching mission, and we were both impressed with the genius hides (some we hadn't seen before, I'll give a special mention to those ones). A big thanks to all the CO's whose caches we found, for placing and maintaining them. A great trip and looking forward to a revisit.

Away for a few days in the geocamper riding some trails and doing some caches. After overnighting at Clifton Reserve we headed out in the cool day. The cold front has moved in and pushed that old heatwave off the country to the relief of everyone. We set out with the intention of doing the trail beside the river. Mr S was riding the horse trail and Mrs S was on the cycle trail. He was making the finds. She was writing the logs. Container full of ants lots of cyclists today and some welcome light rain not that we wanted to get wet but it's better than frying in yesterday’s heat.
Thanks ABCW2.
Thanks ABCW2.
As our bikes were at home in Dunedin, this was a walk for us today, perhaps helpful for the caches off the cycle trail. A quick easy find of a good sized cache, although the hint needed a different interpretation from our initial thoughts. TFTC
One week off during school holiday time, combined with some cheap flights made a great adventure in the HB and Gisborne area, popping into BoP a couple of times also. I had great fun and I am grateful to all CO's who placed the caches for others' entertainment!!
Today I decided to have a big day and see if I can break 50, and I did, even with a few extras! I decided to go for a bit of a walk too. TFTC!!

In the Bay for the long weekend, picking up a few caches with Allepousse in between doing a few other touristy things.

A nice and quick find. Cheers.
I took my bike for a ride around Napier, Hastings and Havelock North today. Weather was a bit on the warm side, but had a great time anyway.
Thanks to all of the COs for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

The last of our caches today as the electric fencing and heat of the sun have made us call it quits for now. Great series though. A bit bumpy on the bridal trail, but the bikes are still in one piece and we are all smiles ... TFTC
Another split bag but cache dry as a bone.
Thanks for another smilie. All good at GZ.

Thanks to the Cache Owner who has gone to the trouble of creating this cache, determining the coordinates and then averaging them to make sure they are accurate, placing the cache and registering it online for our enjoyment. Without Cache Owners doing their bit, there wouldn't be a fun hobby that we all love - so again a big THANK YOU. For our bit, all we need to do is find and log the cache that was carefully placed for our personal enjoyment. As we log it we should consider that the Cache Owner also needs to maintain it - when the log sheet fills up, they must replace it. When the container becomes full of water, they need to empty it. When the container is broken, they need to repair it. When it goes missing they need to find or replace it. Well..... the great news is we can do our bit too - make sure your log doesn't take an entire page - just a name and date. If full of water, empty and dry the cache as best as possible. Be careful when handling the cache and make sure you replace it where you found it. If it has a bag, seal it. Just remember - the Cache Owner showed respect to you by placing the cache - please respect them and fellow cachers that follow you by being careful with the cache. And if you have a spare log sheet and the cache you are at needs one, please leave it behind. Finally, if the cache does need maintenance, please let the Cache Owner know - you can log a Maintenance Log or you can drop a line to the Cache Owner. Above all - have fun and remember the Geocaching Code.

Another run here, thanks to the hint I found it first (the others just had a brief look below). Swapped some items, so good to see bigger caches on such a beautiful serie.
I absolutely love the tour today!! Big big thank you for placing all the cool caches

During Easter weekend we took an afternoon to cycle along the flood bank, and pick up this series.
Thanks

Hubby had to come up this way for a couple of hours to help his sister move so I tagged along to grab this trail that I had been wanting to do, with the weather being in our favor we had a high chance getting most of these, we found all bar the first one, we learnt pretty quick which trail to be on and how lovely it was, we only passed muggles at the start after that it was quite, on one of the caches we came across a cattle stop, looked down and there was a hedgehog at the bottom, I had a thin pair of gloves that I used to get the poor guy out hopefully he wasnt in there too long, the caches were all in great order bar the last one asit had a cracked lid but good sized and enjoyable to find, thanks for the placement and bringing us here - sorry about the copy and paste logs.
I, along with LhutiNe, decided to Get on our Bikes and locate and sign off the caches along the Tukituki River bank. I needed them for a personal challenge.
Cheers for the cache.

I was out with Tufty today on our bikes, doing this power trqil.It was very enjoyable.
Found while enjoying a morning ride on this excellent bike trail on a hot day. A surprisingly big container, thanks ABCW2.
Wasn't to sure about putting my hand anywhere like this, as you never know what you might put your fingers on. No nasties here, cool hide. Cheers.
Cache was actually in open on ground near GZ, so I replaced it where I thought it was meant to be according to the clue. Thanks for creating the trail.
I was heading to Taradale for a gathering later in the morning, so loaded my bike into the car & headed off. I arrived at the start of the trail at 7.30 a.m. -- a lovely morning for a bike ride & fourteen caches - all straightforward finds. Thanks for the cache ABCW2, & for the Trail.
A couple of bulls on the track as I approached this one but I just rode around them and they didn't seem bothered.

We love cache's big enough for tradeables! The kid's loved the trades today! Thank you for hiding the cache. Very fun day out!
Sent Mr off to find this one and he was back in no time after signing the log. Found quite exposed covered up better although now reading other logs not sure if it is meant to be in a higher position Tftc
Found this one on the ground but replaced where I think it has probably fallen from. Tftc
Off road now, following the horse trail, our bikes are made for this, not sure if my bum will agree tomorrow morning LOL This hide was easy to locate which is great when out on a trail like this on a hot hot summers day in HB. The bird scarers are booming away today. TFTC
Really enjoyed this bike trail with tmann421.
Great weather and a nice selection of caches.
TFTC and the series.

So, a muggle on a bike stopped to confirm that we knew about the severe weather warning now. MorganEd has selective hearing. A quick grab and before I could make the re-hide the scatty lasses were off again. TFTFC
Kiwiowl is making noises about turning back before the rain but water doesnt bother MorganEd lol no feathers to ruffle aroha and happy caching
Took a little to spot this one in the dark & the moo-muggles that came over to assist didn't help very much. They seemed more interested in licking my bike.
Left a pet rock - a zebra. TFTC ABCW2

We decided to hop on our bikes today - a perfect school holiday activity for Mr 5, Miss 8 and Mr 8. Another great spot for a cache. TNLN SL Nice to see some big containers!
[FTF] So nice wandering along the track and going off-track to find caches. A few people out and about enjoying the outdoors. TFTC
