DNF for the second time, had a real good look but no trace.

We think we found the remains of what was the cache very sad to see needs attention bad

Great cache easy find super fun!!!!!!!!!!!

Have been meaning to go back to this cache and have another look. Found some time today and had a proper look. Much better success this time. It seems the first time I was looking in the harder to reach places first. Anyway, happy to have found it the second time round. Thanks for the cache.

Looks to be in the right place and people find it

Couldn't find it. I will have to try again on a different day.

Nice and easy, thanks!

Thank-you we found it

Needs a new container.

Thanks for the cache

Nice spot !!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

This afternoon, needing a trad for a challenge, rattll and I came looking for this cache. Some stealth was required, as the path is rather open, and we had to wait for some walkers to move on. At GZ, we looked in several potential spots before rattll spied the remains of the cache, cracked and broken, in the vegetation. Amazingly, the log inside is intact, so we signed it, put the container back together as best we could, and replaced it in a suitable spot. Tftc!

Out on an after work caching mission with matagouri.We had to walk past and wait for a couple of muggles to pass before heading back to GZ. Once the coast was clear we searched for a little while before I noticed a photo on a previous finders cache page, and realized what I had thought was rubbish in the bush, was in fact the cache container. Fortunately it still had the log book in it for us to sign, although the names don't match with the online logs.We put it back as best we could but it really does need attention. Thanks for setting this up

Easy

Found it, needs replacing very damaged

Needs replacing didn't leave anything cuz of damage

Fun find, left a few pokemon there!

**18,903**
Found by torchlight, cache container is cracked and log sheet has been replaced with a piece of waterproof paper. TFTC

Broken with nothing in it needs replacement

Its quite broken with nothing in it.

Dnf.

Found but full of mud

Quick easy find, was a bit wet so tucked it just under the walkway

Nice easy find.
Container is cracked and contents is wet. Needs replacing

Was a bit easy to see under the tree

its pretty broken homies

Is now on the track lol needs another paper

Nice walk

Found this one with novalightning. I am logging with him.



Thanks

What an awesome spot. Had no idea there was eve a boardwalk down here. Popped out today with lilmissturtle to keep our daily streak going.

Log is quite wet

Log book wet. But had fun trying to find it

Wasn’t to be found

Good spot. Was out in the open - perhaps washed out..
Very wet.

A lovely sunny day for a change, so we decided to visit the Hamilton Gardens to do a spot of caching, and afterwards went on to find a few more.
A short stroll along the boardwalk. Stopped when our GPS indicated we were there, followed the hint, and voila! a cache. Nice one, thanks.

Found while out biking..Nicely hidden...TFTC log very wet!

Little wet so couldn't sign

Great find, nice and easy for a family walk Thanks!

Good find. Cache is water logged, but found it all the same.

The container was broken and the pages are soaked so I couldn't write my details, but glad to find it anyways

Good cache, found with gogoguises.

TFTC ????????

Nice one, quick to find. Nice spot, easy walk. TFTC

Nice to have this one ticked off as it's the closest trad cache to home that I hadn't found.

Paper was wet as..but great hiding spot

New cache has been installed. 12 march 2022. Look alongside board walk

New one installed

Cache is gone. Lid and paper floating in the water.

Replacement needed!

It was fun and not to hard

Awesome

Found, with the rain last week it had moved location, have placed back at correct coordinates

Found. Thanks.

Found it

Found it

Found it, happy I didn't have to do too much digging around the growth

Nothing much in it

The gps on my phone went crazy with made it harder to find. Looking along the boardwalk makes it easier to find.

All good...feels like a ftf cos new container and log paper!
Took lomger than I expected....my cheese and chocolate in the car will be very runny....meant to be on way back to Auckland but there is always just One More Cache!

Think I found the original as there were just a couple of bits of soggy paper in and it was obviously not a replacement. Added a small bit of fresh paper. Signed and replaced.

Replaced

Co ords slightly altered. Please rehide well

Coordinates changed from:
S 37° 46.761 E 175° 13.505

Coordinates changed to:
S 37° 46.756 E 175° 13.507

Distance from original: 31.9 feet or 9.7 meters.

Regigged a we bit

another one to look at.

Couldnt find anything at all, dont know where on the boardwalk it could be

Sadly we couldn't find this cache.

Looked all around GZ without leaving the path but saw nothing obvious.

TFTC, nice walkway. Cache was in the open, put back according to hint. Also log is wet and needs replacing.

As per the CO GZ looks familiar and I'm sure I had found the previous cache that was here. Took a few minutes to locate the right spot, and the cache was easily spotted once there. Thanks for the hide.

Terrain changed a bit from pic. Container wet inside

As others have reported, very wet log... unfortunately didn't have any with me

Paper very wet and nothing in it. Bit tricky when it is hidden in plain sight!
Tx for the adventure

I was over this part of town to visit my Dad for fathers day and on my way home decided I'd call in here and grab this one as a father's day gift to myself. No problems with the find. TFTC.

Over in Hamilton for the day. Nice walkway and finally the sun has come out and the fog has lifted TFTC

Lots of runners and people washing their cars today. It is a nice day to be outside. For came up with the cache. Tftc

GPS was a little hesitant so thought I might have to search but in the end dropped straight onto it. TFTC.

Only one muggle throwing a stick for her dog to chase and fortunately just out of view whilst I was on the boardwalk. Near GZ there were piles of soggy junk mail pamphlets that had been dumped. Could only pick up a few to get rid of. The cache was fine. SL. Tftc

We found this one ok - thanks for placing

TFTC

I was here with nufrat today. We looked in lots and lots of places, then read some logs and looked in a different place. After finding the cache, we decided that it must have migrated a bit, so we put it back where the coords said. The CO may want to check this one. TFTC.

took 2 of us a bit of a search but we soon had it in hand, tftc

A Saturday to spare so the call was made to gather those free for a small raid on the Waikato. McJandals and TNXPro were able to join me and meander through the country side collecting this cache on our travels.

This cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords and a straight forward placement. Cheers psychrn, TFTC

On another roadie with P.P and McJ.
A quick find here as the cache was exposed and without camo looked like a piece of rubbish.
Hopefully someone doesnt clean this up in the future.
Thanks for bringing us to this nice area.
TFTC

On a roadie (from Tauranga) with Philip Perry and TNXPRO. 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

I remember getting the original, thanks for the revisit to this quiet corner of the city.

Nice new one
In Hamilton today so had to go and have a Look
No muggles around now

tftfc for the cool cache found with abcdf4

Out with KGD clearing caches around town. Cache quickly located and signed. Thank you for the placement. Pre school kids learning soccer in the park at the time

Caching with friends afterwork, GPS was not behaving but got there eventually. Didn't know this park was here. TFTC

Out to grab a couple of caches around town to do a bit of a clean up and hopefully make the map a little tidier
thanks for the cache

A lovely day picking up caches here and there, thanks to thew CO's who took the time to place these caches

Found 4.25pm
Heading for home and tempted for a couple more. Co Ords at first took us to one side that had been trampled and with hint guessed this was the wrong spot. Swapped sides and once GPS settled cache was found. 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... This area is new to us, though the boardwalk seems to be long established.

We can see why previous searchers came to grief... Our iPhone gps coordinates pointed off track and into the scrub. We searched both sides of the walkway and even under... This was not easy. We called our local help-desk to gain some insight... TFTC.

Find number 4784. I was sitting at home and saw a DNF on this one so I thought it was time for me to go and have a look. All quiet at GZ but there were signs of a previous search. Between looks I had to wait for muggles and dogs to pass. I was having no luck. Then 2 ladies arrived and disappeared off track. They were bat monitors and had come to collect a nearby monitor. After a brief chat I tried the other side and had immediate success. And still a blank log. {FTF} number 166. So pleased to have found it considering previous were unable to. The only thing I got wet was the bottom of my jandals. Thank you for the placement

2 attempts at this, crawling around under the boardwalk... but all I got was wet. I must be blind but I couldn't find anything here...
