Had a good look around wondering where it could be, but luckily something caught my eye as I was about to walk away. Tftc
Often on a Wed night we head up Camp Sladdin but this week we decided to explore a new area with both our geo hounds in tow. Oooooh very lucky to spot this one so quickly....could have been super hard otherwise. Absolutely not what I had imagined here. Thanks for the cache.
Reread the logs to confirm I was in the right spot as GPS a bit jumpy. Once there it took a bit of time to find this clever hide. Tftc
In Clevedon today for Football so signed in here before the game.
A favourite point here from us ! TFTC

Was at wrong spot searching. Should of figured where it was at given the hint. Spotted it straight away once in right spot. Tftc
Fun find with littleblackbird1, thanks
Wow I was lucky, used a small twig to retrieve, all good here

A bit of a search but we found it eventually, the gps is a bit dodgy around here but as soon as we were around an unnatural structure we were on a roll
Carried out maintenance check today. Cache was definitely missing. Thanks to previous visitors to the GZ for photos of the location. A different style of cache container hidden at the same location so co-ords are the same. Cache all ready for finders.
GPS sending me here there & everywhere, mislead by comments in other logs, so begged for an extra hint. Still not exactly what I expected, but a sneaky little hide. TFTC & hint!
Arrived here and found the Farmer’s market was happening. Didn’t realise it was going to be so busy. Strolled round and bought some treats then headed off to look for the six caches in the Showgrounds. Managed 4 finds 1 DNF and 1 Didn’t attempt as there were muggles congregating at GZ. This one was a failed.
The CO has suggested that we can log this as found (after sending through photo evidence) and that they will be carrying our maintenance in the near future. Thank you HeMaLuDy .
so micro we didnt see it. had to log a defeat dnf today. w mrpretty. will try again later .

Mr Geckoh was quickly on to this one whilst Mrs Geckoh was looking in entirely the wrong area. Glad of a super quick find after the last one, that took way longer than it should have. TFTC

Great little cache, the coords had me looking in the wrong place to begin with. TFTC
After 2 searches by myself Kezzle33 joined the hunt and spied it in seconds some people are just made to cache!
After the DNF at skatepark it was nice to find this one in place and nicely secured. Nice to stretch the logs across the green and cache in all good condition. Thanks
I looked around and around a couple of trees for this one - found a dead rabbit that I initially thought could have something to do with the cache but then I thought a rabbit??? up a tree??? A further look around & I soon had the cache in hand. TFTC
2 years later the blue disappears. Felt like the ladies loo was a bit of a cache too as the obvious toilet paper dispenser was a dummy! Looked good but empty. Gymnastic feat to get the real thing. First world problems. Tftc
A nice quick find thanks. Yay another dnf cleared today. Cheers.
Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Wellington and beyond here we come. Today we did a little cruising around to the East and south of Auckland..
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Came out to replace the cache today, and surprisingly found the old container on the ground. Container has been replaced as ring had rusted through and it is now back in place ready to be found once more.
We headed out to do cache maintenance today and were planning to replace the log in this cache, however we found it was no longer there. As we did not have a replacement cache with us we will disable until we can get back there with a new cache container.
Glad to make a find after defeat at the previous hide. Using just the phone today and trying to work out GZ was tricky the whole way around, here included. Then, while talking to GAR, I saw the cache just as he reached out and almost touched it - he didn't see it or feel it though. Soon signed and replaced. Thanks for the hide HeMaLuDy!
Quick visit here after checking out the Clevedon Farmers Market. Found bottom half of the cache lying on the ground but the top was still where it should be so screwed cache back together but log was too wet to be signed (took photo).
Cache container replaced today on behalf of the CO who was playing cricket here today.
Was out with Antnz. We had trouble finding this one, and saw that there were a few DNF's before us, we gave the CO's a call to get another hint on where it could be hiding so that we could help them confirm if it was still there or not...and it turned out....its not 
On the way to Grandma's house so we'd better move along and come again another day. Thanks anyway.
Find number 5976. Grabbing caches in the park today. A bit wet underfoot as I made my way to GZ. And then spent sometime looking to no avail. Got there in the end thankfully. I started to think that it just was not cricket. It was more like a five day test that a 20/20 match. Thank you for the placement.
Out caching for the day in the Clevdon Showgrounds. Nice to find the place desserted on a weekday. Only a couple of dog walkers. Thanks for hiding purply.
Out for a walk around the Clevedon Showgrounds on this windy afternoon. This was not our fastest find by any means, but perserverance paid off and the cache was found. Thanks.
My first nano find! The muggle with me looked very perplexed when i found it haha awesome little hiding spot 
Passing by so had to have a wee wonder. even in the rain showers. nice quick find thx.
Found. First time finding one of these, man they are small! Had fun trying to roll back up!
I had DNF here before. Thanks for replacement. Much aprreciated. Enjoyed my walk here. TFTC
Another nice day of caching for the Hidden Creatures challenge. Tiny nice cache. Nice walk around the Clevedon showgrounds. TFTC
Hidden Creatures Challenge... Accepted !!! Found with Piratenschatzsucher! and Pyphant and signed as Team Piraten. TFTC
Another afternoon spent down south collecting caches for the Hidden Creatures event. Find 14 more caches to unlock the World Turtle souvenir. Time to enjoy a nice walk in the winter sunshine around the Cleavedon Showgrounds. Smallest nano we have ever seen hiding in plain sight. Took a while to locate. TFTC
So obvious a spot. So obvious muggles must look right past it! Didnt write on this one as couldnt get paper roll out. TFTC
Was heading back through Clevedon, so decided to stop by and collect the caches in the show grounds reserve. Neat hide in plain sight here, TFTC
