On my way home and getting some caches for a challenge when I can. Thanks

We are enjoying our time in the areaTFTC

Tftc

Thank you for the hint!!

Left a little earlier on my way to Masterton for a couple days work - have a list of caches to work through including my new favourite mission - showing love to lonely caches! Cache damp but signable, coords out by about 20mMihi ki a koe, watcache, mo te keteroki #326

Log too wet to sign. Tftc

Was in the open, put a new piece if paper in it and rehid

Nice one! Log was wet

Cheers. Found it

The cache is surely there, but I only found it with the help of the hint. 23m out according to my GPS. TFTC!!

The Wolf Pack was here! No spoilers thanks!

Thanks for the cache nearly gave up but found it with wolfpack24

Can't find it today, can't even see the sign. I suspect all gone. Very overgrown,

Paper was full ezz find

Great first find!

Quick easy find Needs new log sheetTFTC

Travelling from Wellington to Hastings today, so we're grabbing a couple of caches along the way, and Woodville was a great place to stop! A nice easy find here, enjoyed the old train station, although I don't think it sees much use these days! TFTC

Thank you for our adventurous walk

Found

Could do with a mew log

TFTC. One space left on the log. Team Kerer

Not a great day for caching weather wise but we grabbed this one while in the area TFTC.

Liked the hint and found quickly. Cheers

Nice hint, easy find, TFTC

easy fund

Spent the weekend in Hawke's Bay, doing a bout of adlabbing. And a whole bunch of non-adlabbing as well.On the way home now. Still plenty of time to rummage under bushes. May as well clear out Woodville.Went to GZ but there was nothing there to even hide a cache. Further afield... ah, three places look good. And there it is in the first! Woohoo!I'm just confused about the title. Log rail exchange?

Found it

Road trip for Team BOP over the long weekend.

After completing the Vikings Series yesterday, we decided we needed less quantity, more quality caches today and a more relaxing schedule.

Our accommodation is in Woodville, so made sense to clear this town of caches also.

TFTC

Down here with part of team BOP and staying at Woodville. Day one was the Vikings and so today was to be a lot quieter and easier driving with looking for favourites and adlabs Thanks to all the CO s TFTC

Another day in the wairarapa/manawatu. Great to get some more smiles for the challenge streak.


I am logging using the Cachly app template so please excuse generic logging along the way. It’s just my way of keeping track, but I do genuinely thank each and every one of you cache owners for taking the time and energy to place these caches. Many Thanks for bringing me here. Cheers.

Matariki weekend and a team of us from BOP have ventured south for a caching weekend. The team consists of TNXPro, NZFlossy, McJandals and DavidsonClan. Logs signed as Team BOP.
Weather cold wet and windy but that won’t stop us on our mission.
Ngā mihi for the cache hides.

Another nice little find. Always enjoy a visit to Woodville, plus add on a few caches. TFTC

A quick wee find with Phronimos TFTC nice to visit Woodville all ways just missed it taking the by pass

Chauffeuring Juty Bug & sueparr2 around Manawatu to spin up a few Adventure Labs with a few nearby other geocaches along the route. Easy find here. All good. TFTC

Couple of caches to grab on the way home after the Viking series. Passed many more but couldn't stop if we wanted to get home in time.

Drove through Woodville and there were a few lone caches (barring the multis) so grabbed to break the drive. 2nd last cache of the trip...

A quick find on our way home from CO’s Vikings. Thanks watcache

Up for the weekend with Itchyfeet2020 and TrinityNZ to chase the Stickman geoart series in a day. Had time on our first evening to do a spot of night caching ... was chasing another challenge that required finding five caches in an evening. They had to be found one hour after official Sunset of 7.23pm - so we started caching at 8.40pm.
Not sure if it was because of night time or the powerlines, our co-ords were way-off. Itchyfeet used geo-sense to to hone into this one. TFTC

We are in Woodville tonight for a run at the stickman series tomorrow. Justlooking00 has a challenge to do 5 caches at night so this seemed a good time to do that. This was a bit off initial coordinates but the good hint made it easy. TFTC.

JustLookingOO, ItchyFeet2020 and I are in Woodville for the weekend, primarily to attempt the Stickman series. We also wanted to find a few caches after dark, for a challenge JL is working on. So we headed out about 8.30ish for two hours of night caching.

Possibly due to it being dark, or the power lines above, but when we eventually found the cache, it was 25 metres away from where my phone GPS was taking me. The hint was very helpful in leading IF2020 to the right place, which I was searching in completely the wrong place.

Thanks for the cache

GZ not in the right area but still an easy and quick find

Tftc, nice easy find while traveling through

Came from a nearby cache that we got FTF and this cache was totally on our way back home
The coordinates were about 10-20m off. Thanks to the hint the cache was quickly in hand.
Cachly got:
S 040° 20.667' E 175° 51.983
I wrote in the log and concealed the cache carefully back as found, TFTCSL. Thanks watcache for this Traditional cache Thanks for helping us get one step closer of our goal of 500 finds!

Found on 1 February 2023 at 6:59 PM

#467th find

GZ a bit out. We were curious about the old building across the road.

Easy find

**#16,642**
Quick trip through Woodville, ticking off a few blue faces on our way through, this one not one of them!
Nice quick find here thanks.

TFTC, took a little to find but the hint made it easier. Coordinates are a little off ️

Found him! TFTC!

Tftf aroha and happy caching

Staying a few days in Woodville with the opportunity to pick up a few caches. Thanks for the placement

Nice quick park and grab.. just did the ad lab then had a yummy burger at fish spot then got this hero. That's me for the day. TFTC

Nice easy find across from the historic rail building. Added signature and time to head along the line to my next destination, Dannevirke.

After a whistle-stop previous visit to todays route back in April, I had a whole day to myself and some blue-sky/bluebird weather which is a departure from the more recent downpours. Todays target was a few more in Woodville, some more local PWGT Geotour caches and make a start on the cache highway (52) between back blocks of Waipukurau and Wairarapa (only as far as Weber today). My highest find total for many months, almost all targets met and a nice drive along some fairly quiet roads and around 450kms traveled! The road between Wimbledon was atrocious, slumps, holes, dips and side of road fallen away, but driveable I suppose. Thanks to all COs for their hides to make my day enjoyable.

Too good

A nice quick find as we make our way towards Feilding for the CO's really old, secret birthday party. Sshhhhh

All good. Quick park and grab. Tftc

Couldn't have been easier. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC.

We came back through woodville today but didn't notice it had been replaced. Drat.

Maintenance run today, cache has gone, but has now been replaced.

Found the hint object and the pile of cover but no cache container. Happy to pop a replacement in on the way back to the kapiti coast Monday if cache owner requests.

No joy here. Unless the rocks were a red herring the cache may well be MIA.

The coordinates seemed to be about ten metres out for me but I was pretty confident I knew what the hint referred to and I soon had my hands on the cache.

Nice find

Easy and fun

Great find, youngest son loved one of the badges inside so traded for a token

Quick park and grab. Amazing to see a station still standing. Is it used for passengers I wonder. TFTC.

Easy find a day in woodville tftc

Quick find at the lunch stop on a grand circle Steam Inc train ride from and to Wellington, up the Wairarapa and back the Horowhenua.
TFTC

Slugs and snails. Oh and a cache too. Thanks.

A nice quick find thanks. Busy here today but managed to make the find at a quiet time.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. It was a great weather most of today, except that it was very windy!Today we cruised from Masterton to Whanganui. The fun part was getting an unrepairable side wall flat tyre in Paihiatua, and rolling the tyre down the main street for a repair!

Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Last cache for the day. Tftc

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... Easter weekend is upon us. We’ve been looking forward to this holiday - it’s a chance to take a big swipe at the PWGT2 caches. We’re also keen to pick off some interesting hides and avenge one or two previous DNFs...

We spotted this hide well before the vehicle ground to a halt. A quick find - Thanks watcache and TFTC.

Co ords seemed a little out, but happy to find sistema. Left piece if waterproof paper as no log in container. Found some wood in Woodville, thanks

Day 1: A long weekend filled with adventure and finding caches with rebel98.

Started early with a plane flight to Wellington. The plan is to slowly make our way back to Auckland over 4 days in a rental car.

In the end we travelled 1550 km, with overnight stays in Dannevirke, Fielding and Tokaanu.

Statistics: 67 caches found including 1 adventure lab, a mixture of 7 puzzles, 4 virtuals, 12 multis, 1 earthcache, and 31 PWGT caches.

This weekend we both completed the PWGT geotour - Rua.

And on the way rustynz found her 7000th cache.

(Thank you to all the CO for their cache hides).

With rustynz, found before it pours down. Rainbow in the sky. Thanks

Love the cache and thanks for the recipe. A good chance to stop and view the wind farm. TFTC.

Founf

Found it quite a while ago on my old profile that only had around 14 finds. So decided to go again on my new account just to keep it real. tftc!

Yay... thank you

Found - gemma

I was pleased to have a day out geocaching with TwigNZ. The aim was to find all the 20/20 geoart puzzles, which we managed. We then had some spare time and decided to hit Wharite and other nearby caches.

Now it was time for a break and some food and water. We stopped in Woodville and found a few of the local caches. I liked the included Gingerbread Men recipe in this cache. Signed as S+T or T+S then returned as found.

Thanks for placing the cache here.

Stardust718 and I had joined forces today to hit the nearby 20/20 geoart series and any other caches that we would be driving past.

Having just ascended and descended Wharite, we figured it was time for a bit of a break for some food etc after caching for about 8 hours straight so headed to Woodville, giving us the chance to also find a few caches around there such as this one.

No problems locating the cache, and no issues with the log which was signed as either "S + T" or "T + S" seemingly dependent upon which of us was doing the signing lol. My apologies for the generic logging but we had a good day out finding all these caches nonetheless.

Thank you for publishing this cache.

Nice morning to explore Woodville. Many thanks for putting a cache here.

We are visiting Woodville today after travelling here from Feilding by train.

As we disembarked at the station I noticed this cache was very close by so we went for a small walk to locate it.

Once at GZ it was a nice and easy find. My toddler took a key ring and left behind a handful of Disney tiles.

TFTC watcache!

From mad hatters train to cache....great fun day out

We came to investigate Woodville with Masters 7 and Miss 5.

Nice and easy TFTC

Stop to take photo of old buildings then looked at the railyards & spied it.

Found thank you. Have added a few goodies.

Co-ords a bit off, but not many places to hide it. TFTC

Knowing that the weather is supposed to pack up later today and again tomorrow I thought it best to try and sign off the caches in Woodville and Pahiatua as best as I could.

I had tried for this a couple of years ago but was successful today.

Cheers for the cache.
