What a cute little cache! Greetings to all the little people in the Shire. Thanks!
Found cache contents on ground. Little door found lying in grass. Put everything back in place.
Spent ages looking but couldn’t find it. Lots of hay all over the place so that probably didn’t help
We hadn’t even quite reached it when geokid 6 laid her eyes on it this pretty special cache. She wondered who might live there. A lovely nice out of the way spot to explore on this lovely sunny winters day . Thank you.
Super fun find on a sunny winter's day. Thanks for your efforts in creating this special cache. We took the scenic route to the cache! +Fav
Out with the geodog and up for a quick find. Very cute. I fear the owner has stayed with the elves too long. TFTC
Everyone go and get this cache…it’s great. But, boots, for mud and animal fertiliser Love the extra work in making this special tftc
This was a really fun and cute geo cache to find. I enjoyed exploring around the rocks looking for a something in one of my favourite movies
Visiting the park for parkrun, then wandered over here. Love hobbits, loved the theme here. Signed and replaced. TFTC
Bit confused with the hint but after scrambling around my mum ended up shouting that she’d found it ahead of me… Tftc! Last one for the day I think - my 125th!
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 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 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

#807 Thank you for the work you put into this cache to make it unique! Needed a bit of a hint from a previous log, but all was found soon after. TFTC
I was just about to give up and then realised I was standing on top of the spot. Great hide. 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.

Very cute creative hiding spot was not expecting it took a while to find but the photo really helped : )
Wow that took quite some time to find! Was looking in the slightly wrong area at first but once I expanded my search the very well put together cache was in sight. TFTC
What a creative and well-designed cache!
If I were premium would 100% award this a favourite. Here is a fake favourite from me: ️

Found cache - kids have loved this one for years! Door is broken off. We put it back in place but it needs some TLC
