I was not heading for the walk today, just came for the cache. Took me a while to spot it, blends in well! TFTC!!
15 June 2024 16:21 TFTC emmacbl for placing this cache, number 14463 for me. One I had DNF'd on a previous visit, good to avenge this today.
Today is my rostered Friday to provide tech support to the Feilding office.And you know what that means... lunchtime caching! 
I followed my GPS too far into the reserve and then followed the hint expecting to see something floating?Realising my error, I retraced my steps and saw the hide on approach.Thanks for the smiley!

Came to fielding to complete a nearby cache and hit some other caches while we could! Quick find here. No issues. I wrote in the log and placed the cache carefully back as found. TFTC. Thanks emmacbl for placing this Traditional cache! emmacbl , ! 22 February 2024 at 8:16PM#873th Find
Found it. Not sure if place was correct place. Looked like it had been placed down randomly, very obvious. So have put back where I found it just a little bit discreet.
Just loose on the fence. Needs a little help.Nice waterproof paper though. Here with kiwisteve2. Tftc
I found the cache and the fishing line was snapped so I put the cache against the fence posts
Found this one quite easy as it was in plain sight, think a muggle may have tampered with it. Have hidden it the best we could
Once again, as it is every couple of weeks, I find myself spending the weekend in Wanganui (from Wellington), and after my real life responsibilities had been dealt with for the day I headed over to Feilding as the nearest location of geocaches I have not yet found. I had no set plan for the day other than driving around (somewhat in concentric circles) finding geocaches, and this was one of them.
No problems here as the cache was found, safe and well, exactly as described.
Thanks to emmacbl for placing and maintaining this cache. I enjoy each and every cache I find, and it is only with CO's like this placing them out in the world that this wonderful game continues.

Felt a bit exposed looking for it so gave up quickly. Perhaps better when less people about.
An annual review of my caches.
This cache is in good condition and exactly where it should be.
Happy hunting

A super quick fond by Mrs Geckoh as Mr Geckoh was looking in the wrong place. Nice area. TFTC

Managed to make the find and sign and replace it before anyone else came past but it turned out to be a close thing! Thanks for placing emmacbl!
Walked down the road in the Autumnal sunshine and soon arrived at GZ. A quick search then fished up the container for signing duties. Released back into the wild as was a little undersized.
Onto the second part of my day and a catch up with Tommygun9 for some finds together. Just the 5 but a tricky field puzzle completed, as well as another Multi for the day, that's quite a few today.
After a relative famine of caches for me recently due to a number of factors I planned to head to Feilding and catch up with tommygun9 for a few mutual search targets, I was in two minds of what to get up to prior though, I was keen for some fishing to maintain a recent trout-less sequence (it continued!) and settled on another trip up the beautiful Pohangina Valley, it sure does turn on the style come Autumn. I've managed to track down some/most of the Wildbore Multi finals too and was keen to cache in those numbers.
A modest haul of 11 caches up the valley and 5 more in Feilding later in the day and a good day to be out and about. Then bumped into Edvern out at the wetlands entrance and a nice catch up with her and her husband. Thanks to all COs for their hides today.

A short walk down to this cache for a nice easy find at the most likely location.
T F T C emmacbl.
A break from studying for tomorrow's exam was needed and capperz had suggested a short caching mission. I checked for and local clusters of mutually unfound caches and spotted a couple in this corner of Feilding. It was an enjoyable little outing before heading back for more study (I passed if you're reading this and wondering).

Easter Monday, and that dreaded back to work tomorrow feeling starts to kick in. But luckily for me I have a fantastic cure for the return-to-work blues, geocaching 
But where to go? Ahhh, how about having a crack at avenging a couple of previous DNF's?
And with that in mind, I set off this morning to head to Feilding. It was a beautiful day so the drive up was pleasant and before I knew it I had reversed my fortune with the two pesky blue frowns and was looking at what other caches I might look for.
This was clearly one of those, and was a quick find at GZ. Encountering no issues at all, the log soon had my name in it before the whole lot was replaced as found.

Another cache that has been on my watchlist for quite some time. Finally got a chance to stop in and made a quick, easy find. All in good condition. Tftc emmacbl
Due to the postponement of the Auckland Mega, Buttels and the Crystal half decided to use the dates planned for the event to do some caching between Wellington and Palmy. Quick and easy find. Thanks for the cache
Nice quick find. Was with Crystal Fairy as we headed up to Palmerston North for a weekends caching. TFTC
I seem to be following some newbies around town this evening.
A nice looking walkway and yes, a good hide.

First to find! Was looking in the wrong places for ages. Got asked if I was getting puha this is a good hide
After some difficultly with the cache being muggled I have changed things up a bit. Please ensure the cache is returned to its original place after each find. Happy hunting
Had to wait for a couple of dog walking muggles to leave the area before we could start searching for this cache, but soon had in hand and could sign the log & then return.
Having a cruise around the area to grab a few caches. Another quick park and grab...the log was it plain sight as we approached so we hid a bit better when we left. Tftc
Thank you so much! This was my first geocache ever and you made it really really fun! I’m going to continue playing due to an amazing first impression, thank you!
#9082. I decided today to visit the Manawatu to pick up some geocaches. Managed to get 40 done before heading back home to Wellington. My main target was a bunch of Shield series puzzle finals but I decided to grab a couple of the new geotour caches along the way. Heading north through Feilding now. Parked nearby and wandered over to the reserve and had the cache in hand immediately. It was still fairly visible though others have tried to camo it a bit more with small stones. Signed the logbook and replaced everything as found. Thanks emmacbl for hiding the cache here and congratulations on your first cache hide.
This find was a lot easier than I expected as the cache was quite visible from a distance. I tried to cover it up a bit better but this is probably not a lasting solution. Thanks for providing the excuse to visit this lovely area.
I pulled up and waited for some muggles to pass by - I didn't mind as it gave me more time with the lovely air conditioning in the car . Once the coast was clear I made short work of the cache hide.

Out with TharntheHalken on a caching expedition around the Manawatu. Found after a short hunt. Signed as matag. All good in cache, tftc!
I hatched a plan to get 2021 caches by the end of 2021. This did not go quite to plan but managed to get out and about on the 3 day of 2021 to grab some caches around Feilding, then toward Awahuri then Bulls on the way home.
Saw this cache as I approached as it was not covered, log signed and left with some leaf litter on it to conceal it some.
Thanks for the placement emmacbl.

(# 6457). Today is a trip up the line to Feilding primarily to attend the community celebration event this evening. A quick find. Everything in order. Thanks for bringing me here.
Unfortunately the original container had been muggled. New container and new log in place. The terrain has changed a little since the original hide so please cover when replacing. Thanks
Nice short walk, found. However I believe this needs some maintenance. No logbook so wrote on scrap of paper.
Looked down and saw a suspicious bright yellow metal container but couldn't prise it open
Looked down again n saw a drink can
CO. Alas no cache
