Visiting from Tauranga to bike some of the wonderful trails - and find some of the wonderful caches! Love the humour if this title - fave point from us for all your hard work. Cache is all good. TFTC
I thought Trumps wall would have had more gaps in it, but no matter, parked the bike and made a quick find. Such a nice bike trail, thanks for bringing me along here, cheers
The ladies from rattll and watcache decided a girly weekend in the Hawkes Bay was in order, so left the boys a list of chores, packed their bags and headed off for a weekend of frivolity and mischief.
We were surprised to find the Hawkes Bay was remarkably quiet, especially considering it was the last few days of the school holidays. However, the exception was the night club that was next door to our room at the backpackers, that provided us with a free live band that played predominantly loud reggae music until the wee hours of the morning. Too old to 'bop' the night away? Apparently not! Mrs watcache however can sleep through anything!!!
The last one on this particular trail for us before we head back to the car.
'Trumps wall' didn't keep us out - everyone's welcome here!. The cache was quickly in hand. and formalities completed.
Many thanks for all of the caches you've placed on this trail. They area very much appreciated.

I have to admit when planning to trip Napier with Rattll I had doubts in my mind that we would gets lots of DNF but to my surprise we only had 3 over the two days out of approximately 60 odd caches found.
This one was no problem to find thank you for placing a cache here for us to discover another area we never knew existed.
TFTC nice trail

Nice quick find, some nasty crawlers have made a home around it, so dropped it as fast as I grabbed it (I dont do bugs at all). Left the TB for the next traveller
Stayed a night in Hasting, an early morning start for a ride along this cycle/walk track. Quick find. Thanks Cee Vee for the cache.
We started our bike ride from Pakowhai Park. I have enjoyed being able to look down on all the apple orchards and other horticultural produce. Cache all ok but wasp nest close by. Thanks for the cache ceevee
A cautious approach here as Wasps were happerly nesting low down on the steel post...lucky the cache wasn't placed there next one along and it was all good...thanks CeeVee
Good camouflage - couldn’t spot it it from the track. Cache is hanging out with many insects
One of 12 caches located today on day 4 of our motorhome summer holiday to Hawkes Bay. Found 11 on a bike ride along this trail today. I started searching in the vicinity of the wall, but Mrs tbird who had come just part-way down the slope, spotted it nowhere near the wall! #3657. TFTC.
left my bike up top and went and got it
As we went on our journey from home to Taihape then on through the gentel Annie to Napier then explored Napier area before heading home again.

Somehow this got tucked away in my drafts. !!! Found while with a group of friends doing some cycling around the HBCheers ????
Well Trumps wall was never going to stop us so we had this one quickly in had and returned as well. Had to stop here and return as is was starting to rain
I decided to get the bike out and do one of the trails in the Hawkes Bay today. The Fernhill Iway won the draw. So after swapping towballs on the cachemobile and then removing the bike from the snail shell and putting it on the back of the ute I was away. Parked in the suggested place and got ready.
Initially I went to the wall but soon backtracked. Trust your GPS.
Cheers for the cache.

Have been planning these caches for a few weeks in conjunction with HKCB for a mad dash and effectively a 24 hour run (so that we could spend time with our respective families) for the rest of the ensuing weekend. Signed most/all caches as HKCD or some such other that we could fit in
Leaving Hamilton at 7pm Friday and getting home midnight on Saturday so that at least 6hours quality sleep was acheived, sleeping in the car is always a bonus (2 hours) and the remainder of the time caching around part of the country we hadn't previousley done a whole lot, but have left plenty for the next trip across the hill.
This was the seventy third of the100+ that we acheived in that time we were over here.
Thanks to all the CO's for the effort and giving some great caches, sorry about the repetitive logs but then 100 is a few to cover off.
Another pleasent bike ride to enjoy what there was to find along the way, these stop banks are great for caching
Thanks for the placement, thanks for the cache

We had been talking about cache bash in Napier for a while, and when Cats&Dragons mentioned a trip down here this weekend I couldn't say no. The plan was to head down Friday night (leaving Hamilton about 7pm) and then cache til we can then grab a few hours sleep and then cache through til late afternoon and then head home. The plan worked well, with about 110 caches found over the 24 hour caching period.
It was the first time we had visited Napier to do a caching mission, and we were both impressed with the genius hides (some we hadn't seen before, I'll give a special mention to those ones). A big thanks to all the CO's whose caches we found, for placing and maintaining them. A great trip and looking forward to a revisit.

Decided to go for a evening walk to grab these caches. This one wasn't where we expected but where the co ords are so was a quick find. After reading back we see it has been shifted from it's original spot. Tftc
In the area for a couple of days caching with tmann421

A quick easy find, although we think Trump's wall might just be a little larger. TFTC
This was the fourth day of my twelve day trip to go to the Wellington Mega. Today I zipped down to Havelock North to do a few power trails to get my numbers up.
I liked the size of the container. TFTC.

Since placing the cache, the river has risen to the stop bank a couple of times, as a precaution I have moved cache to higher ground. Hopefully the flood waters won't reach it. Cheers

Having had all this rain in the past three days, I decided to go check on cache this morning. Pleased I did, cache was not at GZ. I found it 20 /30 meters away in a big puddle and pleased to see it is dry inside. I'll find a new place for it ASAP. Cheers.
Visiting Hawkes Bay for the weekend as Mrs Rubbishparty is playing a Beethoven concert today. Managed to get geocaching in as well. Enjoyed this series as it combined two of my favourite activities. Geocaching and Biking. Unfortunately lost my pen about half way along so posted some photos of logs. This one was no problem. TFTC
Start of our 9week old twins geocaching career. A nice walk along here and a quick find dropped a TB
We left around 5.30am this morning to try and finish the hidden creatures over here, the weather couldn't be more in our favor with no cloud in the sky. thanks to everyone who took the time to place and maintain these caches we got to see much of the bay and many great hides before heading for home around 4.30pm
Thanks CeeVee!
Thanks for taking over some older caches and even more thanks for placing new ones!!
Came for a run here today and thanks to the new caches here, I had to run further than planned. I took the TB as it was here now for a while, will move it on soon.

This was our first find in a trio of newly placed hides along this pathway. DJZT came up trumps here finding the cache quickly. ThanksFTC Cee Vee
