Beautiful entranceway to this walk/cycle path Im going to have to explore sometime All good here. Log a bit damp but witr paper so all sweet Mihi ki a koe, haydn.seek, mo te keteroki #466
I love these wide shared walkways in Levin. Continuing along our trail, easy find.
Found while on a wander around Levin. This is a very well landscaped walkway and I very much like the natural materials signage - wood and metals that rust to merge with the countryside. Looked for the cache for a while, then checked the hint - find! This was one of my missing hidden dates for a Challenge, so very happy to find it. Very clever hide too. TFTC haydn.seek (This is Ramble #4, counting towards GC2XBA7 Rambler's Reward Challenge).
#353.Nice find up in Levin to mark off my Levin list. This was found easily and in good condition. TFTC.
A small group of us from Team SEAC consisting of Keylev, Stik-A-Crane, Uncle Sam and ourselves had come down from Auckland to spend the long weekend caching in the Manawatu area. The plan was to get as many as possible. Along the way we had some great adventures, many laughs, met some interesting people and found a wide selection of caches. Signed SEAC to save space on the log. TFTC.This was day 4 of our trip and we headed South from our accommodation caching down SH 1 to Levin and back through the towns to Himatangi.A nice quick find here.
Day 4 of our caching trip to Palmerston North area with HeMaLuDy, UncleSamNZ, Keylev, and myself, signing in as SEAC or TEAM SEAC to save logbook space. A big thanks to all the CO's for cache placement and maintenance, making this trip the success that it was.TFTC.
Day #4 of the Team SEAC extra long weekend little road trip for Labour Weekend.Quick find but the hint confused me for a bit...its already encrypted so not sure why it was backwards too. Thanks for the cache.
Small group of caching buddies drove down from Auckland for the long weekend, and headed for Palmerston North area. Sorry for the generic posts, but we had so many caches to find.Had a great time, with so many laughs. Thanks to all the Cache owners who placed the caches.This was day 3 of our trip.All logs signed "SEAC" or "Team Seac"
Stopped off for a little hikoi in this area on my way south. Many thanks! A popular walk for dogs!
A nice quick find for me here and my last one of the day before heading home. TFTC

A pretty little spot on a nice little walkway. The locals are fortunate to have such a nice area to stroll through. Nice quick find. TFTC

Found on a fine afternoon in Levin. Having found all the Arapaepae Walkway caches, just time to find this one before heading home. Fortunately, a quick find, as per hint. Last one for the day, a good start to the April Smiley Challenge. TFTC!
Staying at Kimberley Reserve this weekend with a sizeable group of geocachers. This morning we convened at Levitation #9 and afterwards Itchyfeet2020 and I decided to grab another few caches on the way back to camp that neither of us had. This being one.A quick find here, but not enough time to continue down the walkway today unfortunately.Thanks for the cache.
On a roll with deltatea and Phronimos while haydn.seek took off for a coffee. Tftc
We are in Levin for the annual Cannonball Run weekend and after a group outing to get a nearby levitation cache we were making our way back to base camp and the CITO. LL113 and I decided to go via this cache (well you cant go directly there can you?). Nice find by LL113 and after signing our names we had a short wait for the walkers enjoying this walkway. TFTC.
As HS had found these caches, she decided to take the car across the street for a comfort stop at a nearby Cafe, and the rest of us would walk along Arapaepae Road walkway to get these caches. HS would come later to pick us up at the end. The start of a pleasant walk, in brilliant weather. Tftc.
Attending TwigNZ's Kimberley geocache camping weekend. This morning over breakfast a plan was hatched.
deltatea had a few she wanted to find, so haydn.seek, SPate & I joined her as a team.
As haydn.seek had found this one she dropped us here, and she took the car to meet us at the other end of the walkway. TFTC
Three of nineteen or so caches found today.

Nice hide - the original left me a little stumped with a moment to think found it asap! TFTC 
So determined to reach 100 by the end of the day me and Clarke_nua went to go find the last 4 caches I needed so at 6 o'clock we were in car and drove straight to the cache had to play a quick game of crossey road and got over to the gz and found easily. Hint originally confused me but clicked on to it.

Mart0r, SkyCraneKid and I are heading to TwigNZ's event and have made it to Levin in double-time (literally, it took us twice the travel time to get here from Palmy! 
)
I was confused to see the cache be called "Queen St East *Walkway* - Levin" despite the sign at GZ saying *Queen St East *Pathway* "?
I searched one end of a sign and found a family of snails. Surely it's not a fake snail?
No sooner had I thought this, when Mart0r found the cache, complete with a family of Slugs in residence...
With the container and log cleaned up and signed, it was on to the next one.

Found on our way to to today’s event, easy find once the hint was explained (I thought it was something harder so over thought it) the cache was full is slugs and there leaving so cleaned it out before replacing it.
No luck today. Some recent mulch work around the seats may have hampered my hunting attempts
Had been in Levin conducting training on our machinery. This involved training the graveyard shift so was working from 10 pm to 6 am. Had finished the training and had a lunch time flight home. After a couple of hours sleep checked out of hotel and did a few caches before heading to airport.
Quick easy find after a muggle started their walk and I had to let them pass.

Passing by Levin today on one of my regular weekend trips to and from Wanganui (from and to Wellington) I detoured out this way to avoid some traffic issues and decided to stop for a few caches. This was one of them.
On arrival I saw where the cache hide was likely to be, and as there were a few options I decided to start at one end and work my way to the other. I wish I’d started at the other end, I woulda found the cache a lot quicker. That said, despite a couple of pauses for passing walkers it did not take long at all to locate this one. Log was found safe and dry. Thanks for brining me out here.

Log all good. Will be back to check out this new walk way for us. Off to stay with friends who have recently purchased a property in town.
Thanks for the cache!
Sorry for the delay in logging. I’m in the process of finally logging all my old finds.

#1572. En route home to Wellington from a Hurricanes rugby weekend in Napier, with GB Leader. Haven’t ventured north to get many of these rural Levin area caches, so high time I did some. Made it hard for myself by letting the GPS lead me away from where I thought the cache would be. But eventually the cache was in hand.

Staying the night in Levin at the adventure park. Decided to get the bike out and explore this walkway / cycle path. Great to stretch the legs and collect some smileys at the same time. No problems here and log was fine. Thanks for the smiley.
Having just walked the Araepaepae Walkway I had intended to walk this one too but after the second one down here I realised that I had to head back if I wanted to eat dinner! Relatively quick find here. Nice placement haydn.seek!
Found it while cycling in the area on New year's day!
Didn't get the hint but cache is OK

Driving past here today and took a stop. A very nicely landscaped start to this walkway which deserves a cache. Neatly done, thanks haydn.seek.
Cache at odd angle and full of water. Log damp but good. Replaced a little better.
Spending time in Levin with old friends who are muggles. After explaining caching, our friends wanted to accompany us to find the cache. One of the muggles found the cache. Cache is in great shape. Replaced as found. TFTC. Greetings from the USA.
Ready park and grab. Cache was in the ground, maybe the magnet is a bit weak? Anyways - log nice and dry. Thanks for making our little tiki tour even nicer than it already is on this glorious day!
A beautiful day for caching today, unfortunately I also had to go to work! Nevermind, managed to steal an hour in the sunshine and 27 degrees . Heaps of people using the walkway so it was tricky to get this cache.

While travelling to Levin for an event i left home early so i could do a maintenance run on those cache that i would be close to. All was well with them.
Day 2/9 of our New Years trip up to the North Island. This was find #44/50 today and #63/526 of our trip.
Today we traveled from Upper Hutt through the winding Akatarawa Rd, side stepped into Levin then to Palmerston North. We had spent more time in Levin than I wanted but came over here to grab some caches close together. This was a quick PnG as stated to start the trail. Thanks for the effort involved in placing and creating this cache for all of us to enjoy.

Nice tidy cache thanks

Glad to find this cache as today is a dot day for me. A dog walking muggle was deep in conversation 20 meters further along the path. Eventually the chat finished and I could explore unhindered. TFTC
A quick easy find with markhnz, hayleyhnz and hannahhnz, although we were surprised by the colour of the cache. TFTC
Replaced log this morning on behalf of Haydn.Seek. Cache is up and running again
Log sheet full.
This is a lovely walkway to discover today. After waiting for muggles to move on the cache was quickly located. Thanks.

Popped by here en route Palmy to home on a Sunday afternoon. An interesting and informative information board in the vicinity of GZ. Good one.
I visited here with team cacher zboywonder and together we figured things out.
A straightforward find. Coordinates good, description and hint all lined up. Thanks for that.
Cache all in order, log signed, and cache then re-hidden safely.

The Turtle strikes again!

The pathway looks like a great addition, will have to come back and do the series of caches down here! TFTC
Found this on one of the other signs where it could be easily spotted due to the great difference in the colour of the cache to its background. Rehid it in the same area but where it couldn’t be easily spotted. TFTC
Caching with RosalieNZ completing the 100, 10, 7 Challenge. Cache log signed as ‘RE’.

Signed as RE as I'm caching with Ethnz this weekend.
A nice quick find. It was in a very obvious place that didn't match the hint so we moved it ever so slightly so that it does match the hint. (Possibly muggles had seen it and investigated then put it back but not in the correct place.)

I got very cheap flights to Wellington and back for the weekend, what a perfect excuse to come caching and find some that have been sitting on my to do list, and some more! TFTC!!
