With a bit of a distance between the last cache and this one, I took my time getting to this cache as I was observing some residents backyards and how they nicely open out into Cornwall Park! A really nice balance between the busy city life on the front side of the house, and a pleasant opening in the back to what feels like the countryside Very Happy Arrived at GZ and started peering about, before eventually finding this super cute hobbit home! I'd say this home wouldn't meet the current health and safety requirements, but for a geocache - It's PERFECT! TFTC patrekr!

Today's caching trip took me to Cornwall Park where I enjoyed a lovely stroll amongst the massive trees, sheep/bull paddocks and tall peaks such as One Tree Hill. With it being an early Saturday afternoon, the park was muggle central so I had to be very stealthy, whilst searching for caches Razz All in all a great day out with 23 total finds including 17 trads and 6 AL's... Thanks very much to all CO's for their amazing hides! (Quite a few 100+ FP caches here :O)

Doing some regular walks in preparation for the Able Tasman. Wednesdays are our group walks and what better way to motivate us as to find caches as well.

B4Dawn had found this the day before and gave me a little nudge in the right direction.

Cool hide and another Fav point added.

The young one was feeling restless and mom needed to work. I tried to get all I needed to do in regards to work and dragged him our for some fresh air and caching!

Another cutie in the ground! This one had a cache in it and the young one soon got stuck in and extracted the cache. Signed and returned. TFTC

I DNF'd this cache a few months ago on a post-downpour day when the ground was sodden with sitting water everywhere. With many finds since I knew it was in place so headed over again for another search. After widening my parameter to 4 metres away, and a little higher than last time I soon spotted the cute wee cache and added my name to the list of finders. Nice hide here, thanks patrekr.

Following a shockingly poor weekend for weather I never got any caching done, nor any opportunities to get out, aside for some grocery replenishment. mrs c was due to work on Labour Day Monday so I vowed to head out whatever the weather had to throw at me, and I managed to stay completely dry and the rain only arrived as I was driving back home again, which was nice. I managed a nice round figure of 20 finds, more than half by tuolei, thanks Grant, and explored yet more previously unseen Auckland sites and sights. Many thanks to all COs (Not lettuces)

In line with the NZ Geocache Reviewers guidance on what Covid Level 3, Part 1 looks like, geocaching IS permitted, but there are not to be any events or any new listings. It seems the NZ Covid website has failed to maintain pace with Lockdown level amendments and changes and is still lumping Geocaching in with Orienteering and other gathering type activities.
