I saw some dog walkers and joggers while observing the bridge.Nice place to take a breath. TFTC!
What a lovely bridge! Had no idea this was here before this evening. An equally lovely night, warm with enough of a breeze to keep things from being sticky. A nice easy find here, TFTC!
TFTC. A hunt for future catchers. Read the previous hints carefully. They are very helpful when correctly interpreted.
**#19,369**Nicely blends in, took Mrs Geckoh a few minutes t get a hold of this one.Thanks for the hides!
Wanting to start the year off right I headed out with Keylev for a night raid on the North Shore.
After work we jumped in our car and headed over to the area with the intention of driving around a circuit and clearing as many as we could.
KTook us longer than it should have but was on the phone during the search... I cant multitask !

Out on a caching night out with NZ Travellers as both mini-cachers are away at camp 
.
I must have missed this on the first pass over that area because Mr NZT had it in hand when he re-checked...oops. Nice little spot here.
Thanks for the cache.

Found this with DMGonzales. Took a while cos of lots of muggles, but found it eventually! tftc
A return trip on a blustery sunny day . Well camouflaged. Thanks StellaBella for a hint! TFRC
This took us far longer than it should have but relieved in the end to find it. Came out without a pen so photo only, TFTC
We are caching around Bayswater and Devonport on this windy, and occasionally wet, afternoon. Made our way down to, and then along, the Bayswater Bridge to GZ. The hint made some sense here, and following that we soon had the cache in hand. This could be a nice spot to stop and contemplate the world, but not for us with the weather the way it was. Thanks.
Do not give up, it is still there and a great find! Looked for a good 30 minutes before messaging asking for an extra clue, was able to find it after that! I will say that it is very well camouflaged and if you can find it without help you’d feel on top of the world! 10/10
It was not on the bridge and if it was under the bridge I don’t see how anyone could of gotten it because it is all muddy and you would sink
Came and looked for it the other day and was unsuccessful. Got a few hints from the creator and was able to find it this time
Couldn’t find it. My friend and I looked for more than half an hour but were unsuccessful in the end.
We had a lovely walk along here before the heat really set in. Nice to stop and watch the water ripples form from whatever life lurked beneath. Tftc
I love that this game takes us places we've never been. Fun finds with lil miss while out getting our steps in. TFTC
Wasn't quite where GPS said so have moved it back a bit. Def watch out for muggles
This was my first find! It was nice to see that there are lots of caches to be found in my neighbourhood! Tftc!
*** Retrospectively logging finds now Lock-down has spoiled my plan for improving finds to become 10+ find days. ***
Another of those very warm Winter days and a nice walk along to here for this cache. Tide was at mid-range but nothing seen in the water. After a few moments the cache was found and added name to log and replaced as found. Cheers BigRed1978
When I first started working over on the North Shore, initially for 3 months, then out to 6 months, I identified this target-rich environment as being what would enable me to upgrade my finds per day from single-figure find days (there were about 20 days of 5 or more). I went out over a range of dates and physically made the find, signed the log, and noted the date on my personal note. These were reserved for finds when required, or back-dated finds if not 'required'. I'd been tracking well and improved all days desired until this week when Lock-down meant the end of finding caches and thus the 5-day on 20 Aug will be missed, as will a few others coming up, I suspect.

No description or hint needed to find this one! A straightforward easy find and a relief after 2 DNFs nearby. TFTC!
We live locally and this one has alluded us for a while! Finally found it on a quiet Waitangi Day with no one else around. Great camouflage and challenge for my 3 and 5 year old
Once again tying your shoelaces worked, and gave a clear view of the cache. Nice camo it almost had me fooled. The only Muggle crossing the bridge was so engrossed in his book (yes, he was reading a book not a phone) he didn't notice us.
Way back in February Isis58, no.13 and I planned a trip to Auckland for the planned Mega event. When Covid struck and the country went into lockdown we decided to wait and see what happened - - that was less hassle than trying to get refunds on our flights anyway. Well, of course the Mega event was cancelled but luckily for us, flying was an option again by Labour Weekend. We changed some of the details of our trip but decided we would fit in as much caching as we could. We were joined by Mrs SoBad. We visited some amazing places, fitted in some walks, came across lots of people - - lots of traffic too. A huge thank you to the COs for hiding caches which presented us with puzzles to solve, took us to great places, were cleverly camouflaged, were cunningly hidden - - sometimes in plain sight - - all of the above and of course an equal thank you for the ones that just gave us one more smilie. We really really appreciated them all. Thanks

!There was a woman settled in having a long conversation on her phone. So we all had a look/feel around where we could away from her and then she got up and headed off still deep in conversation. Quick find after that. TFTC # 15,941
Very cool little spot with a nice view. Found the cache pretty easily and a seat nearby to log. TFTC
Checked cache the other night and just happened to be doing so when someone found it in the sea...not where it’s supposed to be...doh!
New cache now in place.

There were heaps of muggles around, but we happened to get to GZ at fairly clear time and found the cache fairly quickly.
The seats were mighty useful for "the rest I needed as I had a drink & took in the view" (aka signed the log ).
TFTC!

Did a visual cache check (no touch as level 3) yesterday and can confirm it’s in place as it should be. All good here
Quick check and couldn’t see it either so new cache on place for your finding pleasure.
Been trying to locate this one over a couple weeks when ever we walk over the bridge... had no luck unfortunately
