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.

***[======== NZ Mega 2020 ========](http://nzmega.com)***

* 20 years since New Zealand had the very first geocache hidden outside of USA.
* And it's 2020 - all the 20s!

Talk to your geo-friends and start planning to be part of [this event](http://nzmega.com) - you won't want to miss it!

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
 
25-Dec-19
Doing some Christmas Day caching with Moggy Val. Enjoyed this cache. Thanks for placing
 
30-Nov-19
In the area for a cycling trip, and had some spare time. TFTC.
 
18-Nov-19
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 Smile Thanks for the hide, bet this one could be tricky to get when events are on.
 
18-Nov-19
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

Nice quick find on the way to the meeting.
 
01-Nov-19
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
 
06-Oct-19
Good hide, lots of ppl around but no one paying attention. Thanks for the cache.
 
04-Oct-19
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.
Thanks for the cache Kiwikatze7

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.
 
27-Aug-19
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...
 
17-Jul-19
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!

TNLN, TFTC.

24-May-19
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
 
24-May-19
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
 
18-May-19
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!
 
12-May-19
Done, great hide.
 
06-May-19
Very quiet around the area today.
This was helpful in the search.

05-May-19
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.

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 Big GrinBig GrinBig Grin

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 Smile
 
06-Apr-19
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
 
06-Apr-19
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

#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!

TFTH.

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.
 
17-Feb-19
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.
