This one was quite tricky but got it done like always , tftc

Another nice and easy cache find, parking was a bit of a pain. TFTC.

Sneaky

Found it on 03/10! A tiny and easy one. The log sheet was completely filled up, so I took a photo instead to log this one. TFTC!

Brr super chilli out tonight. Doing some night caches. A quick find here by torch light. Thank you JohnGillon for placing this cache.Log signed as B&PFind number 5220

#940 Surprising bit of greenery in an area surrounded by concrete. While it was lunch time when we passed by, nobody was occupying the picnic table. This made retrieval a walk in the park. Thanks for the hide, logbook is full.

**21,369**The grass beneath our feet was we walked to this was was very squishy but we were glad to find the area unoccupied (I mean, who but us would be out caching at this time anyway). A super quick find. The log appears to be full, TFTC

3rd attempt at this one. Was always someone sitting there. Log paper full, but looks like 2 entries a bit washed out

Small thing

Found it

Found it. Very small thing.

There was trash in the picnic table

Found it easier then I thought once I stopped thinking of the obvious.

Took me a surprisingly long time to find this. Good hiding spot

I am introduced to yet another park / reserve by this cache which I never knew existed. The cache was a nice easy find tonight, thankfully not too many muggles out at this time of day. TFTC!

Second time lucky! Spent 10 minutes looking expecting it to be different sort of camo. Duh. Geocaching a bit like life - much easier with an open mind! lol. Tftc.

Spider guarding it, But still grabbed it, Easy find but later found the spider in my hair - TFTSAC (Thanks for the spider and cache)

no

Nice quick find here.
Thanks for hiding and maintaining.
Tftc

The smallest and roundest geocash we've found so far.

Checked, all good:)

Nice quick grab - and I've definitely driven past this park a lot and not noticed it- thanks!

Found quickly. Tftc

Quick grab and run

Still room to sign it

Found it a while back, forgot to log. Took me a while.

Mother's Day cache #5 mum found the tiniest cache ever on the special mothers day. Sorry couldn't get the log out so took a photo.

Found it quite easy, just follow clues

Tftc

Nice place to stick a cache and sit and write the log. Do not disturb the fairies. It is not behind their door!

I didn’t have my tweezers and I didn’t want to wreck the log so here is my pic.

Checked. All good.
- John has spoken.

Great spot for a picnic...

Nice find

Nice park and grab tonight with The Sheeps. Was not what I was expecting and only seen at the right angle!

Nice one!

I was heading to Tai Ping today, to grab a few essentials, and I decided, since we are now allowed to cache, to grab a couple of caches in the area.

I had grabbed the previous cache in this park before and noticed that there was a new one just waiting to be found. Upon arriving at GZ I had the cache in hand in the first place I looked. Thanks for the cache and giving me a good chance to stretch my legs. #1264

After tracking down Robin Hood nearby I headed here for a nice easy find as per coordinates and hint, thanks JG.

Left the office before lunch today to take in a few caches on the way back West and to finish of todays work from home. A few stop-offs, a few DNFs and a few finds - which was nice. The weather held pleasant and it was t-shirt weather all along the trails. Thanks to all COs whose caches I found.

nice spot

Good co-ords and description got us to this one quick enough, tftc

Looked in the wrong place for a little while

Didn’t manage to find ! Looked for quite a while too!

Nice quick find as Team BDM with brandon97 and Mikefnz. Log needs replacing as well as we just filled in last space. Tftc

Nice easy find
Team BDM

Talk about a flashback! Arrived at GZ and went "wait... I feel like I've done this before"... Turns out I was right! Having completed Hidden Picnic - the cache that this replaced - I let Brandon and darkangel take this one. Super quick find from darkangel, shes seen this sort of cache before...!

Found it. Had a quick picnic, but the portions were so small.

Very tiny!!

Nice quick find

Nice easy cache. Not sure how I didnt spot it last time but it is very very tiny indeed! The title is perfect! TFTC

Found this one pretty quickly. Definitely very, very small!

Thank you from Howard and Kath
Manchester UK
Definitely Nano

Checked today and it is still there.
- John has spoken.

DNF

I think maybe the recent weather could be a factor as to why we didn’t find it

Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.
Signed the log tm/ww NZ
TFTC

Found with woolwood9 driving around from cache to cache.
Good find here.
*Thanks for the fun!* SL **tm/ww NZ**

We were in the area to get a few caches and stopped by to get this one. There were two hard bits to this cache and neither of them was finding it. Parked up across the street and had to wait for the traffic to clear and then made the inter=traffic dance across the street to the cache.

Quick retrieval and then began the hard bit of trying to retrieve the log from the nano. Hmmm...mission failire so back to the traffic dance to the car and then improvised a TOTT to pick at the log and finally got it out. Phew. Memo to self - get new tweezers.

All back now though and on our way. Thanks for the cache - all good here.

The fence is down. Still a bit of work happening at the back of the park when I visited, so may need to be discrete.
Cache still in place. Come and find it!
- John has spoken.

Tried to get it but all fenced off as a construction site.

Park fenced off for some reason.

We were at a shop nearby and got there before it opened. Had a quick look on the app to see what caches were around to kill some time and lo and behold, this cache only 48m away. A quick walk to GZ and the cache quickly found. All good here, TFTC!

Found on the ground, placed it back where it maybe should have been. Took longer to wind the log back up and replace, than the actual find.

Very small

Quick find here today. Put a new log sheet in. TFTC

Must have not had our cache glasses on. Looks like the lawns have been recently mown. Knocked off maybe? Will try again another day.

Could not find it maybe check if it’s still there

A nice quick find for us here this afternoon on our attempt to complete the mystery at the museum challenge.

We think we found it. If it is the cache then it was easy to find. Thank you!!

Great little park. Tiny little cache.

Nice n ez

Checked all good.

Found, tftc, came here while looking for 'fairy doors' and remembered there was a cache near by

Nobody around so was great to make a nice quick find. TFTC

Love nano cute small find

After a DNF on this late last year and seeing the CO had confirmed its still there decided to go after this after some other nearby caches. We must have been absolutely blind last time as it was staring us straight away as we got there. Unfortunately there was no actual log so added a piece of paper but will require another new 'waterproof' log.

Thanks for confirming its there and another cache collected from John Gillon
TFTC

Checked and still there

3rd DNF in a row to start the day. After being diverted from the nearby Santa Parade that we totally forgot about went for this to try and claim the remaining caches for the souvenir on offer. Despite two of us looking for what seemed an eternity no luck, wonder if its gone missing? or maybe we were just caching blind today.

Tftc. Nice quick find. Needs new log.

tftc, nice quick find here

I was taking my car to get a WOF down the road with my niece, and there was a bit of a wait so how better to fill in time than to go and find a geocache. She was all smiles after finding the treasure Thanks for a hide, and in the right spot for where we needed one!

Oh yeahhhhhhhhh! First ever. PL and DL woz here. On to the next one.

I grabbed this while I was waiting for 2 tyres to be replaced on my car. Squeezed my name on a faded part of the log sheet. Needs maintenance. Tftc

Ye

Another chance to work my way continued on what I didn't clear off from last weekends trip. So once again an early start to the day followed by lots of laughter and fun while hunting for caches in the "Burbs" that really is Auckland.
An early start one again at "oh my god o'clock" which had me starting caching for the start of the day in the day. For the remainder of the day I was in the company of Alpenmilch80 for more laughter and fun as we worked our way through the area. So much nicer to be caching in fine weather after all the recent rain over the last few weeks. Logs signed as "APCD" (or some such varient) to conserve log space
For the day managed fifty two and three DNF's so all in all not too bad and home by 2.30pm

Nice quick find here in the early morning
Thank you to all the cache owners who put in the effort for the game to keep us thinking about what is coming next.
thank you for the placement, thank you for the cache

After getting some Brezels at the German bakery in Glenfield I was collected by C&D for some geocaching in the area. It was just about dawn and the sunrise helped with finding the geocache. TFTC

Too good for me

Todays challenge get within reach of finsing the turtle this weekend. Parked on a street close by and walked to the tiny park, soon had my hands on the cache. TFTC BTW the log is full

Mrs B's phone died on the weekend so we spent a little time researching what new one to get; happens that a store very near here was the place to go so I had a chance to grab a few caches as well. Always nice to have a place to sit when doing these types of caches as it can take a while to get the log back in. Log is full and could do with replacing. TFTC.

Can't find.

Can't find it

Looked all over for ages but don't think it's here anymore

Not where you expected it to be!

Can't find it

Couldn't find it

Bring your Sherlock Homes magnifying glass for this one.

No go today.

Distance from original: 19.7 feet or 6.0 meters.

Hmmm... must have been a magnetic pole shift to throw out my perfect coordinates...

Note that Google Maps is showing the green park in the wrong location. Satellite view may help.

Not quite where the GPS coordinates led me, but the description really only left one option. Log book needs replacing. TFTC

Hooray!!!
