Spotting the cache was easy, getting the cache with the "help" of the geohound wasn't quite as easy, but I managed it without losing the geohound, my phone, the log or the cache.

A nice quick find thanks. Got to GZ and started looking for a way down, then spotted it. Nice.

Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Wellington and beyond here we come. Today we toured around Whangapararoa, Plan B. Plan A was to drive the Ara-Weiti Road, but is only accessible for residents as East Coast Road is CLOSED over that junction.

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

Out with the Grandkids. I'm working on a 50 day streak for my GIO licence so just 1 cache per day at the moment. We're off to the South Island for two weeks tomorrow so I'm hoping to get a few more caches per day but I'll focus on the special ones. I spotted this quickly so it was back to the playground soon after. Thanks for the cache Smile

02-Nov-20
I was visiting a friend in Red Beach and as this park wasn't too far away I thought I'd come for a walk. I spied something worth investigating and sure enough it was the cache

Great cache! Took a bit of looking around before I spotted what looked like paper coming out of somewhere strange! Turns out the lid had come off. Don’t worry, I managed to locate the lid and set it all back in place. Ingenious cache!
 
22-Mar-20
Container was spotted from a distance! Well placed. Thanks!

Made plans with TheWonderStuff for a little caching out in Millwater this morning. We had cleared out all the caches in Millwater so we were moving south. TWS had already found this cache, but not the one just along the path which I had previously found. We walked past this one to locate the other cache and on the return to the car, we stopped by so I could find this cache. Once in the right spot, I quickly spied the cache.

nifty little cache!

Have been meaning to get this cache for a while....but it is a long trip for one cache.....so came here after doing 5 newish caches at Orewa and Millwater...
Many thanks...looked from one level and saw it at another level .
Great container.
 
29-Dec-19
Took us a few mins to find but a good one for us new cachers.
 
27-Dec-19
I decided to head out and grab at least some of the caches in this lovely but unnamed park with this one being the main target. Parked near to number 5 and started off in reverse order given the recent DNFs on the early ones.

I wanted to find this one as I am visiting from the UK; last month I was in Cambridge and visited "Reality Checkpoint" so wanted to find its caching twin. Stood on the bridge and after a quick look around soon spotted it and had it in hand shortly after. TFTC and FP awarded.
 
26-Dec-19
Nice easy one
 
23-Dec-19
Kiwiscot at Red Beach for ski training this morning. This was the nearest unfound, although we do remember finding at least one other hidden here. She made quick work of locating and grabbing the cache. Now to get on with the busy day. TFTC
 
23-Dec-19
Today I introduced my friend to GC in her own town! Thanks for this cache, now she had seen several types.

Out and about with the Elder Future Finder this afternoon, for some caching Fun on this sunny day. I remember completing this series back in 2016. Time to get this replacement hide today. We parked up on Knott Road and made the short walk to GZ. I considered the option and decided on my approach. This effort payed dividends as the cache was found after the briefest of searches. Cheers for the cache (re)placement!

Another good hide - TFTC - clever

Spotted from above, hard to get
 
06-Dec-19
A lovely little container which we managed to spot from above. I’d put the terrain more like 2, though. TFTC
 
06-Dec-19
As a keen maker of cache containers myself, trying to come up with something slightly different, I’m most impressed with this design. I think I may copy it back in Britain for one of mine. Lovely path and a great little hide.
 
04-Dec-19
Visiting family and decided to pull in to pick this one up. We like these containers. Thanks G-2.
 
03-Nov-19

900m from home, would be rude not to come and find it. Woke up an hour later than usual and managed a surprising FTF. Cool container TFTC.

Quick find.
