Thank you! That was a cool find!! No log inside so posting a pick. Maybe need a check by the CO

Tricky but cool when found

It was hard then we sat down and had a look and we found the geocache

TFTC super cool clues helped cords a bit off

Good one fora wet day

Great cache. Neat idea to have a sit and think about where it could be

Had us stumped, but once we sat and thought about it, it was a quick find. TFTC.

Cool hide. Cheers

Cool hide

Quick find in its new position?

Coordinates changed from:S 40 57.150 E 175 37.609Coordinates changed to:S 40 57.189 E 175 37.550Distance from original: 360.5 feet or 109.9 meters.This was previously attached to a sign which has recently been removed. Hopefully this new location will be more permanent.

Didn't find this one today, There's a lot of maintenance being done in and around the carpark so unsure if its still here or not, if so ill just return another day.

Unfortunately we couldn't track this one down tonight despite searching in every possible place.

Quick little cache! Thanks!

TFTC

Clever hiding spot!

Love reading the history of the railway station! Thanks for the hide here.

Quick find and a good placement

A nice quick find, easily spotted on the way to GZ. Thanks for placing your cache.

Ms_KR and I are off for a wee break "up north". Today we drove from Masterton to Wellington to catch an early morning ferry. The weather got wetter the closer that we got to Wellington.

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

Yay

2nd of the day for myself and the kids. There was an obvious location as we pulled up but after investigating it turned out we were wrong. Expanded our search slightly and turned wrong into right! All was well here, TFTC

Not sure we were in the correct place.
pressed for time so only had quick look.

Good job

Found it! Look for the little head we traded in there. XD.

Easy find

Nice, cute hide.... and an interesting read. TFTC

I’ve previously looked for this and not been able to find it. Seeing that it had been replaced, and being in the area today with JustLookingOO and Flossie110, thought I would have another go. As it turned out, I had been looking in the wrong place all along, and Flossie110 found it immediately. Thanks for the clever hide

Thanks for the cashe

No. 4 for Father’s Day. Mr 7 found it quickly.

A drive to Masterton to get some caches before a meeting in Eketahuna. Thanks KiwiDragonfly for the cache.

very quick find here.

Nice quick find here today tftc

Nice find here today

Another neat hiding spot

Nice

Thanks

Out finishing the challenge for this month, great day with only 2 dnf, thanks for the placement.

With (Mr) Davidson Clan and Gap (of Fap and Gap)… On a boy’s weekend roadtrip south. We have arrived at our new base camp for the night - Hello Masterton!

The cache description was extensive but worth reading. Who knew that naming a railway station would be so contentious? We had a quick look around before settling on the right object. We obediently returned the cache up the right way. Thanks KiwiDragonfly and TFTC.

quick search, cache found.
signed and returned as requested.

FapnGap and Squirel Nutcase and I have come away for the long weekend caching. Nice quick find here today cache is in good condition. Thanks for hiding the cache.

No one about on a Sunday afternoon.

Quick easy find.TFTC

This was a nice find, although the cache had a nicely concealed hiding spot. We took the chance to feed the dogs and give them a chance to stretch their legs. TFTC

This end of the carpark is not as well patronised as the south end. Almost a park n grab. Thanks for the history lesson and the nicely hidden cache. TFTC

Good area!

Easter Sunday was a good time to visit this one, it was all quiet here. Thanks KiwiDragonfly for your placement and the history.

Thanks. We found it. Only our third geocache.

My third one. Not many people found it

Hi

So what is right or wrong, eitherway a nice quick find here, cheers

2 April 2022 11:05. Number 10936. After a brief debate over which cache to target next, GSEL graciously pulled into the carpark and let me find this one. TFTC KiwiDragonfly.

WAHOO! I'm finally out of household lockdown. This cache was still at GZ but, as mentioned, was empty. New log placed today and all good to go.

Had a good search but when reading previous comments I don’t think it visible any more

On hold until I can check this one out

Found it but the cache was completely empty. I didn't have any replacement paper with me to leave in there. Unfortunately when I was placing it back, it slipped out of my hand and fell completely down, so will need a grasping tool to retrieve it. Thanks for the interesting spot!

This was quite a weird cache, I was wondering if this was it, looked inside and saw bugs random pieces of plastic. Saw some photos of places and the log of peoples names on it, so found it after all.

Found it

(# 6877) Day trip over the hill for a touch of caching. Even better that it is a pleasantly fine day. A quick find. Thanks for bringing me here.

All checked today. Thanks robnzh for sorting this before I managed to get to it.

Managed to extract the cache using a stick as an improvised TOTT.
Hopefully reachable for others now but still a little tricky
TFTC

Rather embarrassing situation here.

It was convenient to attempt this one as I had arrived by train at Masterton station and my caching activities took me further down this way so it was more convenient to catch the train back from Solway.

I found the cache but had difficulty reaching it and unfortunately my efforts to do so resulted in it ending up in an even more difficult place to get at- a gripping tool would have been handy but I didn't have one.

Sorry about that!

Not claiming a find as I couldn't sign the log. TFTC anyway!

Thanks for the interesting historical background.
Maybe the cache should be hidden under a pile of sticks?

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

A new, larger cache in place at slightly different coordinates. Still a high muggle area.

Coordinates changed from:
S 40° 57.150 E 175° 37.603

Coordinates changed to:
S 40° 57.150 E 175° 37.609

Distance from original: 27.6 feet or 8.4 meters.

Was hidden amongst rocks which have now been removed.

This one has gone missing after a site clean up. Will replace ASAP.

Lots of leaves and some rubbish, couldn’t find the cache today

34th cache! Easy find on way into masterton with LL113

Caching trip with MomsOB on a gorgeous sunny day. Arrived in Masterton with plenty of time to pick up some caches before collecting I’m-to-cool-for-geocaching teenagers.
Super quick park n grab. TFTC

Interesting history I would never have known about but for geocaching. Easy find with the pin-point accurate coordinates. TFTC.

Got confused by some rubbish at first but we're able to quickly admit to locate this cache. Tftc

Nice easy find with @peadub. Thanks for the history of the station. Signed log and replaced where found. TFTC

Macfam41 found it while Mrs Macfam was competing in the Waiarapa Dog Training Club comp at the showgrounds with Southridge Laird of Kinlochaline.

Thanks

A straightforward find at a relatively quiet time of day. TFTC
