Couldn't find it after a good hunt around. Think it may have gone for a walk

Great spot

Great spot

Stinky location was on the ground we gave it a home under the cabbage tree

Easy find but a bit boggy at the moment

Easy

Nice little cache

Our first cache, great location and find! Thanks

Nice find with the kids on a Saturday stroll!

Family day out and found our first cache as a family! Great fun

Great spot almost gave up

I was down for Easter with the family. We walked down to give the Grandkids a play in their local park. There were gardeners using weed eaters nearby but we managed to sneak in behind here and I made a quick find. Glad to get this today and earn another stamp towards my solar system souvenir. Thanks for the cache

Good find after a short search. My family's first geocache!! Woohoo!!

Fun find for the kids

Found! Second one today, just exploring our peninsula. Hid back in the same spot.

Out with grandchildren and stopped off to get a geocache. Good place to hide the cache. Nice park. Thanks.

a nice hide thank you. Out for a walk with wanderclare to get a few geo's today.

Out for a leisurely stroll with Kaz53. Great cache hide. Thank you!

Sneaky hide in the tree

I was visiting a friend in Red Beach and as this park wasn't too far away I thought I'd come for a walk. A nice quick find here once I was on the right side of the garden

Treezuz crikey.

Nice find

Thank you from Howard and Kath

East find after reading the clue. Thanks for the cache.

Thanks@

Found

Cache has been replaced

Replaced

Maybe it’s gone?

Will check it out

We looked for 20 minutes but no luck today

Found a slug

Hmm found an obvious spot but nothing to be found today

Couldn't find it today

Found what I thought looked like the perfect hidy hole where you’d expect a geo cache. Also matched the hint. No luck though.

Uff uff I had good search around.... maybe next time. Thanks anyway.

It was fun to find

Look low!

Quick find after lunch at the nearby beach. TFTC

Good stroll in the park with the dogs

Cycled from another cache near by, lots of dog walking muggles about.

Good camouflage with a few spiders!

Not sure about the 3 but found easily.

Great find for Team Troph!!!

Last find of our quick local hunt.

I decided to head out and grab at least some of the caches in this lovely but unnamed park with number 4 being the main target. Parked near to number 5 and started off in reverse order given the recent DNFs on the early ones.

This one was found after a short search around GZ and looking at things from a coupe of different angles. TFTC!

Nice Boxing Day activity. Found by Archiepirate. On to the next one.

Nice little cache in a well maintained park. Tftc!

Time in the afternoon for a few

TFTC

Look closely

After searching an adjacent structure we turned to depart - and lo and behold, it caught the eye! TFTC

I was distracted by a nearby potential host item and searched it intimately without coming up with anything. I was about to give up when I looked back and actually saw the cache. Obviously with its new log paper inside as well. Not exactly sure what the hint means, but a lovely little park to walk through.

Good little spot, forgot pen but thank you!

No luck

I've looked for this one previously, but after having a proper search today, I made the find. Very sneaky, cheers

Woah that was a sneaky one! Woof.

Was in 2 pieces put back together

????

Nice easy find here with no one about. Thanks

Found: 7/11/2017 7:00:00 PM
Find #: 1008
Log: Quite a tricky little hide. The hint said "corner" but that could describe any number of features at GZ. Took a good 10 minutes poking around before the correct corner was located, and the camo was nicely done. This gets a favourite point from us.

Not as easy as I thought it was going to be, but not difficult either! Found at 1510Hr on 31 October 2017

Nicely done!
Thanks for waterproof logs
All ok
Thanks

Out and about with Jag50 in the area. Wandered along to this cache and then it was a matter of choosing the right path through the waterlogged ground to get to GZ. This took a bit of searching to find the right area, but once there Mrs Jag found the cleverly concealed cache.

Despite the bad looking weather decided to head out to Orewa and Whangaparaoa today with Aiden29 as we needed to pick up a purchase. Walked through the park to this point. A very wet area underfoot and it took a little while to locate the very this tricky hide.

Was out and about today and thought of adding more similes to my map .I walked on over to the park and started searching. After 10 minutes of searching and getting muddy along the way, I found the sneaky hide . Thanks for the cache KristTim . TFTC!!!

I have set myself a challenge for this year to have at least the same number of caches on each day of my calender as the number of years I have been caching.

Today the target is eight. Coldstream accompanied me on my little mission today to fill my quota. Luckily the rain eased and then stopped while we were caching.

Cheers for the cache.

Out cache hunting Sith Tufty. A bit of a search, but good clue and better camo. Nice one. Thanks

Took a while - had to think about the 'camo attached' comment then it fell into place.

It was a bit wet. but I added my name. thanks

Out and about for a spot of geocaching today. With the worst of the showers behind me now, the day is turning rather pleasant. As such, I decided to walk to the rest of the hides in this reserve. Made my here from bridge to nowhere 3 and set about looking. Didn't take long to come up with this one. Log is very wet, but the waterproof paper is doing its thing. Cheers for the cache placement and the exercise!

Neat cammo. Shame the log is soaking wet, but still managed to sign while being somewhat concealed.

Back in NZL again checking on the renovations at Mum's and wanted to find a cache today before we were off to our daughter's engagement party.
As in name, as in nature. This was a short walk and the clues led us right to the treasure. TFTC.

Initially chose the wrong way to get to this cache - was a bit of a lake. Turned around and went the other way and, although soggy, nothing like the other side. Read the description, noted the hint and had it in hand real quick in the end - possibly the only one all day (filled with numerous DNFs as it was and actual finds took ages!). Nice hide KirsTim, nice to have an easyish one!

Took us way longer than it should have but found it in the end. Had no idea this playground was here so the girls are happy today. TFTC

We drove around to the other end of the trail to look for Bark in the park. Quite wet underfoot nearby but nice and dry with the extra good drainage at GZ. Quickly located the cache here for our fastest find of the day. Thanks.

Out and about on the Hibiscus Coast. Nice spot in the park. Nice camo. SL. TFTC.

Nice hide. Thanks.

This was totally my favourite of the day !
Awesome hide thankyou KirsTim !
Favourite for sure !
Thanks for this clever series in the green strip !!

Found quickly enough, though not sure these filter beds are appropriate places for a cache, many are fenced off and many have signs warning you to keep off.

TFTC

After an unsuccessful morning geocaching through the rest of this park I was beginning to lose hope! Kicking my feet around I stumbled right on it! Tftc, great camo

Lucked on to this one qwikly!Cool container-tftc

Cool hide...

Lovely day for a walk completed these caches, had to read the logs on few to get the find. TFTC

Found with telle80 and corbz

A rare weekday with everyone at home (school holidays) found us heading up to Whangaparoa for a little adventure. We had only been at gz for a couple of minutes when we were joined by 1/4 of Team Welsh who did not muck about and quickly had this tricky hide in hand. We got chatting and found that he has so far been unsuccessful with the other 2 new caches hidden in this reserve which was lucky for us. Joint (FTF) TFTC

The benefits of having 4 family members in your team. Mum and Dad are in New Plymouth so son was at home when these were published. After a late night gaming he headed off to find the little group of 3 caches very close to home. Met up with other cachers here and after the cache was located they all headed off to find the other 2. Rare FTF in Auckland. TFTC
