Did a thorough search, not for us today

Went back for a second look and yes, success!!

Had a really good look around hands and knees in the mud had to give up due to Master 3 month old deciding it was feed time

Not today Pretty overgrown around under the rocks too

Nice quick find here. Thanks.

Found with Dadandkidsnz and ZL2SGA

Went for a walk with DadandKidsNz down by the river, to bring up my count so I can place my first cache. While the kids are on holiday it was a good time to go for a walk and go hunting.Great idea on pulling out the log, must remember it for the future.

ZL2SGA wanted to get some more finds and he invited us to come with him. We headed down to the Manawatu River, as there appeared to be quite a number there. All good. Found by Son (11) found.Thanks PJMacNZ for the cache,

Thanks for your amazing cache. I really appreciate the time you took to set up and maintain your caches. Hopefully I will beat the rain Cheers, Cympull.

Thought this might be a bit tricky but a quick find once I spotted something.TFTC.

Well there was no mistaking where this was going to be hidden.
The accurate co ordinates took me straight to GZ for a super quick find.
Thanks for putting this here

Today I set out to get one or the other cache by bike. Many thanks to the owner!

Nice easy one

Nice quick find tftc

Found in good order
All nice and dry

Found with JoeyGE0. I have now made my own account and am logging the caches I have found to keep my account up to date. This is a real account. I placed the cache back as found, TFTC thanks PJMacNZ putting this Traditional cache out!

Quickly found where it had to be, TFTC

Which one? But cache soon in hand. Tftc

A number of options but cache didn't take too long to find. Tftc

Not many places to hide here so a quick circumnavigation revealed what I was looking for in reasonably short order. Getting to the end of a long ride now and having relatively few "evil" hides has made for quite a successful day. TFTC.

Biked along from fitz bridge . Easy find. Thanks

**#16,691**
Enjoying the ride along the trail, getting a bit of a system going that gets hints etc sorted before arrival to aid in a quick find.
Arrived at GZ and knew where I would need to look, quickly located and on to the next one.

A day trip to Palmy to keep things ticking over. Time to get some exercise. Took a stroll along the river path for 40 minutes. No worries here. TFTC

Took a little bit to find but got there in the end

Took a second but once I got to the right rock was easy find

Nice easy find. Tftc!

Quick easy find. TFTC

Very easy find!

Nice dry log, and a quick find. TFTC

One of seven caches we located along the riverside walk/cycleway on a day that started out frosty but sunny, but clouded over with the wind picking up as we continued our walk. Took a brief moment to spot this one. #5185. TFTC.

GAR not long joined me after spending a couple of hours at the local store of our workplace and so we shifted the caching to the river (after grabbing a bite to eat) so that the dog could stretch her leg somewhere nice. This was the first find after parking nearby. GAR went back for his raincoat while I searched as it started spitting and nothing worse than a walk in the rain without any protection. Straight forward find and I was already onto the next cache by the time he caught up. Thanks for placing PJMacNZ.

Easily found, nicely hidden cache

Quick easy find.TFTC

Quick find, thanks.

Nice one quick easy find TFTC!

Tftc yo easy

Another riverside cache and a nice hide here. Picked the right side to start and after getting down to foot level soon spotted the cache and signed in. T F T C PJMacNZ.

After a whistle-stop trip to Hawkes Bay on Saturday for a couple of Geotour placements, followed by a day in the garden with chores to be completed and some lawn enhancements begun, which may yet turn out to be bigger than the chariot driving Benjamin Hurr. I was determined to attend an Anzac Day service too, and picked Colyton as being a viable destination, and my attendance in the improving weather was both moving and solemn.
Followed this observance with a trip to a call the troops event in Palmy and after that I picked off a few random caches, as well as completing stages on three previously started Ad Labs, and beginning and ending a fourth one. So just the one left in Palmy, for now. Thanks to all COs fore their hides today, the weather was awesome and a good day to be out and about.

Easy find

S.L.M

Cache number two for today and after checking may way around the cache was at an obvious spot.
T F T C PJMacNZ.

I was in Palmy today doing a few things and naturally decided to find some caches. My little mission was a short walk by the river to find two and then grab a couple of caches on the drive out for a total of four.

Found it!

Lovely calm before storm bike ride with the hound

We are visiting Palmy today for a biking/geocaching jaunt. Had half a day to spare and managed to find 9 caches, so pretty pleased with our effort. Nice find here. Cache is all good. TFTC

I checked this cache as I was passing.All is good and ready to be found!Happy hunting!

Quick and easy find out walking with dog and family.
TFTC

Caches found. There was two caches found here? One was out in the open, the one in the open has been hidden in the rocks better. Thanks

Nice and quick and description on point

A nice quick find thanks.

Ms_KR and I are off on a wee tour of the North Island. A day around Palmerston North today. The weather was good for caching, not too hot, cold, windy or wet (though there were a few showers they didn't stop us)!

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

2nd attempt at this one. But have learnt to trust my phone and read instructions. Wallah. All clear and cache signed. Tftc

Thanks!

Nice walk … found by my son

another great walk down here, track not so busy today as it feels like rain is coming. thanks for the placement.

Another find on our road trip. Lovely walking by the river today

A bit wet under foot, neat path tftc!

Moved to Palmy for a few months and thought I would get a streak going. Now day 54. Well today was a challenge as it’s cold and raining. Just had an hour of daylight after work so headed to two sad faces that have been replaced since I was last here. At least I didn’t have to worry about muggles and after a very damp search managed to feel the cache. Thanks for the maintenance and a smiley.

Thanks for the cache!

Found it Nice scroll thanks for the cache

Found Oliver found this ages ago but I accidentally deleted log. I wrote in the log and concealed it carefully back as found, TFTC Thanks PJMacNZ for this Traditional cache!Found on 21 April 2021 4:26 PM ___ ?????????????? ___

Up here from Kapiti with Flowerydaze on a hunt for caches. We decided to do PWGT2 Anzac Cliffs as well as any others in the vicinity. This was a quick find, thanks for bringing us here PJMacNZ.

Found while meandering along the riverside trail with Talla64. A great place to walk or bike. Very windy today, but fortunately the rain is keeping off. Thanks for placing a cache in this area - it's the first time we've been here.

Love the scroll TFTC!

Nice

Nice Cache

Another great grab and go while biking. TFTC

Over in Palmerston North for an appointment so bought my bike to take a ride along the river, grabbing geocaches as I go.

Quick find here, log signed and left as found.

Thanks for the geocache PJMacNZ.

I was due to spend some time in Palmy today, doing research for an upcoming cache and a maintenance run to replace another cache of mine that had been muggled, and seeing that today was a dot day it was also an excuse to take an extended walk along the path here and pickup this cache if it was quiet enough to have a search.

On arriving at GZ I was a bit surprised to find the whole area free of other humans, so I was able to look without interruption and made the find after a few minutes of systematic searching. All is fine with with cache, which was signed and replaced exactly as found.

Thanks for placing this cache.

A quick easy find of our first cache for the new year after a short walk down towards the river. TFTC

Quick find on a post-prandial stroll while visiting Palmy.
TFTC

The container was missing perhaps muggled.So I have replaced it with a new one and logsheet.Will keep a watch on this one,Happy caching!

Visiting Palmerston North for the weekend as our daughter is performing in a circus show-Ithaca. Decided to take the geohound for a 10km walk along the river to tire him out but just tired ourselves. Sadly no smiley for us here.

Cool rocks

We went for a late afternoon walk by the river and stopped to inspect the cache.The logsheet was all in order and dry.Replaced the container back where it should be.Finders please re-conceal as found!Happy caching!

Quick find as it was out in the open. I think there has been some cache creep, maybe check it's placement? I've put it back where I found it.

Found before work on a nice sunny morning.
Great cache. Nice location and easy to find.
Thanks.

Thanks for this cache, great to visit this area again near the river. Cache quickly found, signed and replaced as found.

Tftc in a cold winters day.

Quick find while walking the dog on one of the coldest days of the year so far. Cache in good order and log book dry.

Quick find today cycling home from work.

(# 5849). A trip up to Palmy to grab a few caches. A lovely crisp day. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC

Quick find on a drizzly morning. TFTC.

Found a couple near this today. TFTC

Good hiding spot!

Found it with 13 yr ×2 9yr really to find

And Found it is. I've decided to restart my streak of consecutive daily geocache finds to go better than my previous effort of 186 days.
When I've achieved my goal of 366 days I hope to have have at least three caches every day of the 365-day Challenge.
So having found one today I needed a second. I chose this cache as it fills a hole in my Jasmer Grid Challenge - November last year! Only three more months to get then I'll have to head over to USA to get the last four!
Straight forward find fills that gloating hole. All good here. Also I believe this geocache may be my 2400th find. So thank you for placing it when you did; and maintaining it.

Out for an evenings walk,and checked the cache.All is good and ready to be found!

A strange collection. Makes a good landmark though.

On the way to the speedway with woolwood9 today so thought it a good time to collect a few nearby caches.
Quick easy find on the walkway, we enjoyed the walk.

Nice quick walk along the walkway to locate this cache

#11,606. A good walk in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North. Quite a number of people were cycling or walking the tracks. Fortunately, GZ itself was all quiet at the time of our visit. Quick find. The cache was in good condition, all nice and dry inside. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log.

Thanks for the placement, and for bringing us to this site, and …

Found on an enjoyable, if rather blustery, bike ride. A good quiet place for a cache, and to lean my bike while making a quick find. Thanks PJMacNZ.

Quick find and good fun for the kids.TFTC

Was in Palmerston North for work and was spending the night, after finishing work, I decided that I might as well go out and grab some dinner, but I was running a bit early and the weather had just cleared up a bit better than it was earlier when it was trying very hard to rain.

I spotted this cache here and decided that since it wasnt too far from where I was, I would go and check it out, was able to find a safe parking spot just off Ruahine Street, and from there it was going to be a easy walk to GZ.

I was glad that I decided to o it when I did as it was still a bit early so the muggles were still at work, as I was in my work clothes I decided that I would stay on the paths that were provided where I could, and was able to get near GZ before having to go off it for the last few metres, but that wasnt too bad.

As I was making my way towards GZ I decided to read the hint and soon realised where I needed to look and it only took a few seconds to spot and I soon spotted something and I soon realised that it was the cache.

Managed to retrieve the cache, opened, and signed the logsheet and then it was time to return the cache back to where I got it from. Thanks PJMacNZ for placing this cache here and for bringing me to this spot. TFTC TNLNSL (15040). Now it is time to go back to the car and go and get some dinner.

I like to pick different walks around home to stretch my legs and get my steps up.
I haven’t been down this end of the Bridle Track in a while.

Certainly easy to spot the Rocks!
Cache dry and in good condition

My last day over at the very nearby school so once I'd finished I set out. A few spots started as I began and I hoped it would stay off. Found and signed but as I made my way back the spots became real rain and as I got back into the car it really started to rain, and heavily, so I was pleased to get this newer cache.
Thanks for this new cache. All was well.

Nice area for a ride along the river.

Quick find amongst the hordes of muggles on this beautiful day. Thanks for adding to this pathway!

Early morning walk from home to GZ for an easy find. Thanks PJMacNZ for the cache.

Thanks PJMacNZ for placing this cache

I had been thinking that this area deserved a few more caches... as I love biking along here or dog-walking.

Quick find today with no muggles in sight... TNLNSL on my way to the GIFF event

It’s always good to have an added incentive for a walk along the river and a new cache certainly fulfills that idea.
As we neared the cache area the reason for its name became obvious, and at GZ the coordinates proved very accurate at leading us to the cache itself.
Up to now all was straightforward until we went to sign the log - Mrs G hadn’t thought to bring her bag ( with a pen in it) and Mr G couldn’t find his usual pencil-in-the-pocket. Rain was threatening and the car was quite a distance away. Be resourceful... Mr G managed to find a bit of burnt stick so we signed the log using that. We just put 12 for the date and then geodatum, but it is smudgy and a bit indistinct - apologies for that. We’ll tidy it up next time we come that way - as long as we remember to bring a pen! Thanks for bringing us here PJMacNZ.
