As I was approaching this one, I had an idea where I wanted to look. When I got there, it was actually a bit exposed which was disappointing- but I put it back better. Good one,thanks
Beaut hide, have one myself in Blenheim so didn't take us long to nut out. Its good, tftc
Nice easy one to do while out with the family. Some of the photos are a bit of a give away.
Quick easy find. Careful not to be seen as there's a Covid-19 testing site nearby. Log full but managed to sign as KB in a small gap where someone had written across many lines.
Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.
Signed the log tm/wwNZ

Nice find!! Needs a new log, this one is pretty full. Only managed to squeeze my name at the bottom
I came down to Hamilton to get some caches and attend the 18th event. I was a bit early for the event, so I toddled over here to get this cache while I was waiting. TFTC.

Bei einem schönen Spaziergang durch den Park die Zeit genutzt das fliegende Schwein zu suchen.

Always have to do a few caches with Corunna Road on Christmas Day, this was one of the chosen few, A clever hide, quickly found while very few people about. TFTC
Doing some Christmas Day caching with Moggy Val. Enjoyed this cache. Thanks for placing
Thought I should grab this one while nearby for the local event. Managed to rope Zmaster to coming along for a stroll and the cache was soon in hand. Wasn't till I had finished signing that I noted the themed container/cache name. It all makes sense now Thanks for the hide, bet this one could be tricky to get when events are on.
After attending the nearby 18/18 event, 11hpg11 and I wandered over to do this. As I approached it reminded me of the one down Tasman road that's probably now archived.
Cheers for the placement! #2090

Wow what a mission to get access today. Yes the A&P show is on and fencing is all over the place. Finally managed to find a hole. Easy find thanks. Tftc
After claiming "Look For Trains (Waikato)" I decided to continue my walk to Claudelands.
I'd forgotten all about the Waikato Home and Garden show, and everyone was just leaving as I approached.
I found a comfortable bench and relaxed for the next half hour waiting for all the cars to disperse.
The cache was found in an obvious hiding place.

I finished work earlier than expected so took the chance to call in here and continue my week long streak. I parked further away than I needed to which was a bit silly since it was raining, but the walk didn't really bother me. Without to many places to look I soon found this one. I like these types of hides. A nice fun distraction, TFTC.
Needing another cache to keep the streak alive, figured this one was close enough to school drop off area and I had enough time before my first meeting, so it was on the hit list. The bollards were up when I came by, so I parked up and made the walk in to GZ. Having found something similar before, I spotted this one quite quickly. Imagine my surprise at the container when it was revealed - great work on that! SL and returned as found. Murphy's law in play again as when I returned to my car, the bollards had been lowered/removed. Giving you a favorite point for the effort gone in to the container & hide - made me smile! TFTC - Day 3 of 7...
Found by Blenheim Bear on a work trip to Hamilton, a lovely park and a nice wee walk, Farmers Markets are all a good idea, less travel for the products and always fresh I must come back at the weekend. All good at GZ today. Thanks for the cache Blenheim Bear
The Freezer Mice strike again!
Enjoyed this cache, as it was very reminiscent of the type of hides we have previously made.

A few people out walking their dogs but didn't take any notice of me. Clever hide. Tftc
At this gz there are not a lot of places to hide and when mr piggy tries to fly it soon becomes obvious where he it. Signed and persuaded him that home was best. Thanks for the placement
A great tidy placement ...made easier as I suspect it was not concealed as it was originally meant to be...signed and adjusted accordingly ..thanks Kiwikatze7 well done
Had a wander through the park to find This Little Piggy tonight!
Really good hide here thanks .
Glad I have the company of a local as my navigator!

Ooh, so frustrating! Unintentionally found myself in the area, came to find cache only to find a loong line of cars waiting to get into the food show and a traffic warden with walky talky in hand all in view of the cache. Swear I could see it, if only....but not enough time to wait for that line to disappear, if it even was going to for most of the morning - the lady with the walky talky turned around and started using it - thought she might have been reporting me acting odd so I vamooshed. Another day. Can't bring myself to post this as a DNF so a note instead.
Great find on a beautiful day. Coordinates not quite accurate according to my Garmin but we found it. Very clever, TFTC
Night Caches are amongst my favourite types and now that we've ticked off Pukemokemoke what shall we do? Night caching equals no traffic, no muggles & unlimited car parks - funniest thing was NZFlossy stating we'd be home by midnight
A quick little park'n'grab but a very clever little hide. Cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a great hint. Davidson Clan, Mc Jandals, NZFlossy & myself signed in either individually or as TEAMBOP depending on log space or mood. It was a long but good night with some tired but fun company. Home and in bed just after 5am with no scars or DNFs. Cheers kiwikatze7, TFTC

On a night trip with Philip Perry , mcjandals and Davidson clan. Just a few more before home. Nice and quiet here tonight. Nice hide TFTC
On a roadie with Some of Team BoP, NZ Flossy, Davidson Clan and Philip. Perry, and 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
Found with Philip.Perry McJandals and Nzflossy we were in the area caching quick find here.
Cache in good order.

Out for cycle ride. Quick grab as heading through Bush area. Lovely to have these areas in city
While wandering about picking up trash for the nearby CITO, I made sure to check if there was any near this cache, and while I was there sign the log. Nicely hidden, and trash free. Thanks for the hide.
One of us can remember when this building was the Pig Pavilion for the Waikato A and P Shows and for pig sales at other times of the year. An easy find today.
Leaving the south of Hamilton to raid the north Waikato. Started with this town one. A cunning hide tftc
#546. We used to visit the playground nearby once in a while, otherwise have not been to the park for a while. It really is a excellent large green area with several good facilities. Stopped by today on the way to have lunch with friends.
Interesting hide. Able to park close by, thought the placement was very clever. Quick find and off to lunch!

A quick easy find of a nicely hidden cache, although for us it was 10 metres east of the coordinates at S37 46.595 E175 17.433. TFTC
A lovely day picking up caches here and there, thanks to thew CO's who took the time to place these caches
If pigs could fly...anyone remember Pink Floyd and the pig over Battersea Power Station? GPS took me to the wrong one first but it was a quick find of a fun cache. TFTC.
Found 4.45pm
Cache location was far enough away from lots of muggles not to bother us. Great hide. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap)... Feeling better today, though not quite running at a hundred percent. At least we are heading home this afternoon..
The drive homeward brought us into Hamilton for a couple of recent placements... A ‘Piggy’ cache that is not placed by G2... The mind boggles! We arrived at ground zone and the good coordinates took us straight to the cache. We loved the effort taken to make this one thematic. Had a good laugh while signing this one off. TFTC.
