Quick find here with the hint. Tott needed to extract log. Hello again Mr slug, guardian to many a cache along here. Tftc

Found

Having a weekend away in Auckland with matagouri, trying to knock up some numbers to reach 14,000 finds at my 20th anniversary of geocaching event (GCANR31) in a couple of weeks time. We parked up here with the intention of snaffling the tantalizing trail of caches along the cycle way back towards the airport. The weather was a bit marginal but okay for most of it. Maybe that's why we hardly saw any muggles throughout the day. A reasonably quick find here. Thanks for putting it here

In Auckland again with rattll, seeking to find as many caches as possible prior to a significant milestone for her. Parked the van at Moyle Park, and hauled out the bikes to follow the cycle trail from here back to the airport.All quiet at GZ, but it still took us some searching to find this cache. Turned it up eventually. Log dry, signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

Coordinates were good, walked right up to the cache. Placed upside down so the open end is down again. TFTC 18D & L6671 Canada

Not our day. Quite a big bushy terrain tho

Day 1: The Route from the AirportWe arrived in New Zealand just after lunch, and with half a day left, what better way to kick off my third trip to NZ than to hit the ground (or runway, in this case) running? The trail leading out from the airport was a tempting choice, and despite the rain, I opted to go for it. My luggage and partner headed for my sisters place first, while I stayed behind at the airport to get the business here done. After 4 hours, with a slight bit of rain, a successful cache run was completed and I could get back in time for dinner!(End of the cut and paste bit)This is the specific log for this cache:The spot is really getting quite bushy already, but the geotrail in was most helpful. The cache was found relatively quickly given its location, and was settled in due course. The cover has gone missing in the meantime, so I had to put it upside down to prevent it from collecting rainwaters TFTC!

I am starting the work day down Manukau way this morning, for the last time in a while, and decided to start the day off with an early morning walk. I parked up in the Williams Park car park and started my stroll. This was my first find of the morning. I wasn't sure if my phone GPSr was pointing the right way, as I neared ground zero, but a check of the cache page confirmed it was. Managed to miss it on the first pass, but got it on the second. Cheers for the cache placement!

Was a awesome find my kids are having fun along this walkway

Ohh this took longer than I expected... but I was in the wrong place cheers for the smiley

Easy

Awesome hiding spot.

Found it

Very rusty tin on location.

This was another nice quick find on the cycleway. There were only one or two cyclists the whole way, so no one to ask what I was doing, and it meant I could walk along with headphones in listening to music without having to listen out for cyclists who were coming past.

The log was super wet, so I signed and also took a photo in case proof is needed.

Thanks for placing this one too

Visiting from Ohio, USA and spent the morning geobiking around Auckland. I think I'm the only one on the cycleway today.

Found log is really wet though

TFTC. Already bushy. René from the Netherlands

Catching up on some logs - actually found this one some time ago. TFTC!!!

Found with Kat33, Mumzi and TheGrunch. Greeting's from Calgary, Canada! So after three years of waiting and a few small trips here and there when we were able it was time for the family four to head out on a huge international adventure! The primary destination for this trip has been discussed at length for many years due to it being a bucket list site of TheGrunch who has for a long time yearned to visit the land of Aotearoa/New Zealand! Well yearn no more! With restrictions lessening and it being easier to travel it was time to hit up this country! Our trek started shortly after lunch in Calgary on Wednesday, February 15th and, after a layover in Vancouver, after one 13.5 hour flight we were landing in Auckland at shortly after 6am on Friday, February 17th. Were able to drop off our bags at our hotel which was also close to a series of caches so how better to start getting acclimatized? Marched for a couple of hours and were able to find 12 caches with some of them being pretty cool! Were able to get checked in and had a low key evening. Today we hauled off and made our way downtown where we really enjoyed the walk checking out the sites. Could see some of the recent damage from the flooding and the cyclone . Found three caches today, one traditional and two virtuals while also picking up a travel buddy. This cache was cache 10 of 12 and was found on 2023.02.17 at 10:13:00 AM for a total of 5034. TFTC tramyard!

Found with the family, tftc.

Killing time near the airport. Glad the rain has stopped

I've had a long weekend in Hamilton ahead of a relocation in a few weeks time and have a few hours to spare before my flight back to Nelson. Let's see what caches there are around.

A little bushier than when the cache was placed but still easy enough to get to once you've worked out one possibility from the other.

Thanks tramyard

Nice geo

Enjoying a stroll in the sun. Found, all okay. TFTC.

In the bushes thanks

A nice quick find. Thanks for placing your cache.

I'm in Auckland and I am exploring the region while I am based here. Today was a dry day, I borrowed by bro's bike and cruised around the place. I had a great time.

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

Good find

That was very good hideout

Fairly bushy around here already! Looking in the wrong direction initially and then turned around and could actually see it - not hidden as per hint. After signing the log I replaced as per hint. Thanks for the walkway cached tramyard - much easier to spend time walking when I can pause and find caches along the way!

Good spot

We just bought ebikes! Naturally I gravitate towards the cluster of green circles so this is where we ended up on Queen’s Birthday weekend. Artemis_Z and I are a couple and he was the one who found it first but letme grab it. Now towards the airport where there are caches waiting for us!

I approached from the right direction because I saw the non-camoed part of the cache. Luckily the motorway wasn't too busy so my dodgy actions were not seen by anyone. Thanks!

Found easily with clue

Found was a good find

on a walk catch tressure with AzUp

Nice ride and cache all the way down this road. Thanks for all these cool caches.

Been looking at the bike trail in the airport for some time now but don't own a bike or anyone to go with. Dragged my 9 year old with me, found a bike and off we went. Pity the rain started to come down and little child was over it.

Had to get.. in.. there.. TFTC

Second visit here.
Certainly not GL today!
Was about 8 feet up !
So we replaced as per hint.

Found it

I'm blind

Messed around for a while here before heading to the actual GZ with my white stick and tap tap found.

It's a busy caching weekend planned for me; mrs c has headed to our daughter's for a few days with our grand-daughter and so I am at a loose end of sorts. But so much choice and where to go? With a CITO at Henderson planned for Saturday morning, I then wanted to finish off Ambury Regional Park. Mangere volcano, and some of the motorway-side walkway caches and anything else in range when passing. As it was I had a medium-sized day with cache finds not exceeding 50 and 22kms walked during my searches, a good day though. Thanks to all the COs whose caches had the name capperz added to the log. Plenty of tramyard caches today though, nice one.

Mini McArgister and I need to do some training for the X-Race in a couple of weeks so we decided to combine a run with some caching along here. We struggled with the first one so moved on to this one. It’s sure getting bushy now but it didn’t take long to spot the cache. I sent Mini in to retrieve and after I signed us in she replaced it and then we were off to continue our run. Thanks for the bushy cache!

A scratch and a scramble through the sprayed weeds and a quick spot once we were through. Tftc

Cool little sneaky, but with the geotrail not too sneaky hide. Tftc

Nice quick find TFTC

Had planned this bike ride for a few weeks ago but the weather got in the way. Mrs NZT messaged yesterday to see if anyone was keen to attempt again today and yes we were!

Not too bushy for us today thankfully!

Thanks for the cache. Found with NZTravellers, Hello Birdie 1 and laval.

This biking track had been a plan of attach for Team SEAC for a while now however the originally planned day had to be cancelled due to bad weather.

A couple of days ago the weather was checked and found to be good so the cal went out. Unfortunately due to the late notice there were only 4 that could attend.

Carrying on with the second part of the trail.

Another quick find.


TFTC

Thanks for the cache.

Found with NZ Travellers, Keylev and Hello Birdie 1.

It sure will be bushy one day, but for now just a few shrubs and small trees thankfully! TFTC!

Late afternoon walk after dropping back the campervan and flying back to Dunedin tomorrow. This run of caches near the motel was a great chance to up the numbers for the week.

Trip to Auckland to get one cache in particular for a challenge we are doing.
Weather a bit dodgy but we got what we came for. SLTFTC

With family, and meeting up with Gap (of Fap and Gap)... We left the thick, dense fog of the Waikato, and climbed the Bombays into the brilliant blue skies and sunshine of Auckland. The weather looked like it was going to hold, so we did all of our non-caching things first... And then it rained, and rained, and rained some more...

We found some accomodation just metres from the Route 20A cycleway. That was handy. We waited for a break in the weather and hit the trail with the intention of clearing out the last few hides in here. We managed to walk about 500 metres before the heavy rain returned... This one had detached and was lying on the ground. A quick find - Thanks tramyard and TFTC.

Found

Greetings from Scotland. Due to the Covid 19 lockdown we have been resident in a hotel room for 10 days waiting for our flight home. We fly tomorrow. We go for a daily walk from our hotel, look around with our eyes, if we see the cache we take a photograph to send to the CO. Most importantly, we touch absolutely nothing; not just for the health of others but for our own health too. This cache certainly lives up to its name. We had slowed down as there was a family ahead of us on the path and we wanted them to get much further ahead. We spotted a wee trail and at the end of it, there was the cache.

Photo log has been sent off to the CO so as not to give any spoilers on the page, and thank you to the CO for permission to log a find.


*This is our 10648th logged find. Found at 14:43 hrs.* TFTC

Nice find while in the area with tmann421 today
Enjoying the trip north and the caches
Signed log as tm/ww NZ

Another nice cache visited with woolwood9 today.
Stamped logs as tm/ww NZ which may just look like a black smudge on plastic logs!

*Pretty quick find on a busy day hunting caches in the area, we really enjoyed the drive / walk around.*

Cool place and a nice ride

Going for a sovineer TFTC

I sussed out another Air New Zealand Grab-a-seat from Palmy to Auckland and return $19.00 each way. Had time to walk along this lovely pathway to Mangere Centre Park to find 20 caches Thanks tramyard for the cache.

Bother hot and bothered. Couldnt locate this one Pretty unpleasant in the heat today.

New log sheets added.

Found it!

Log books full

TFTC log full. Sorry did not have replacement one with me

After a rather frenetic day yesterday, I decided I'd take it a bit easier today. A pleasant stroll before my flight home seemed like a good idea. no worries here. TFTC

Decided to head back out to Mangere with my niece and nephews to find some caches in the area before the GIFF event nearby. We parked in the carpark nearby to start our scooter ride along the track here. Halfway along the trail one of the wheels on my niece's scooter came off and she went flying. Managed to convince her that she hadn't broken anything and that we could keep going to the next cache. I then had to share my scooter with her for the remainder of our time. I sent one of my nephews to retrieve this one as the one two kids sat down for a break. Didn't take too long to locate.

Quick find, while staying nearby. TFTC

Found while on a night stop-over at a motel nearby. It is always good to stretch your legs after a long flight. This time it was back from Japan without the Rugby World Cup . It seems a shame to cover the interesting sound barrier. Log is full. TFTC

Out completing the trail on a lovely sunny day. Easy find. Nice wall art here. Thanks tramyard.

Out of view from the busy road. changed a lot since I did the subdivision next door 40 years ago.

Staying in one of the nearby motels before flying back to Sydney early in the morning. Had to get out for a walk and a few last minute geocaches. Found it easily.

Find number 6049. Spending a couple of days in Auckland geocaching. Decided to cycle the trail to the airport today. I found a total of 45 in the area. Weather was a bit iffy but who cares I am geocaching. This is where I tested the front breaks on my bike. I can vouch that they worked very well as I landed on the pavement over my handlebars. No problem with the cache though. Thank you for the placement.

Up in Auckland for the weekend staying at the Ibis .grabbing a few caches with my sister and daughter. Tftc

I dropped off Ms M in Mangere this morning and headed out to Natural High and hired a bike to cache the trail on the cycleway.
Quite bushy enough already thanks.
TFTC

A quick find for the clan, enjoyed the walk

Dropping family members at airport so just had to get a few caches on my way home and what better way to spend a rainy day. 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 us here. Cheers Just started and got my pants wet straight away lol.

Tftc!

This was a quick find out in the bushes. Great to get this one now before it grows up to much more than it is already

Nice! Just a little bush bash TFTC!

Proceeded by elimination with this one and soon found it. It will definitely be bushy and there will definitely be a marked geotrail TFTC

Scotty and Kiwi escaping the wet North Shore and scooting along the sunny Mangere cycle/walking path collecting a few caches along the way. Finding one, skipping one so we have some caches to collect on the return journey. This took us a few minutes as the Garmin GPS was stuck on the motorway. Got there in the end. TFTC

What nice weehide found with abcdf4

Nice easy find

In Auckland for a few days so only aiming a few caches. Brought my bike up so had to use it on some of these. TFTC

Out and about with TW. Thanks.

This was the second one along the way and a great little series of caches and it was great to be out with TF again. Cheers

Another quick find tftc

We were going to do this walk yesterday but after we had found the first one decided to go back as we were too cold.Back today to finish off what we started and this was our first find spotted as we approached the gz. Always remember the day these caches were published as we had just finished the others towards the airport that day and had not long been home.If only they had been released just a bit quicker.Not too worry one day I might get a ftf.

Picking up a few caches in the late afternoon on the e-bike. Always nice to get out caching. Pulled up here and a quick dash into the flax and the cache was mine, cheers Tramyard.
