Nice day out. Pen has run out of ink . Unable to sign

!

Out with rattll on a late afternoon mission to find the daily cache. Ducked in under branches to reach GZ. Rattll found the well hidden cache after a couple of minutes searching. All good. Signed, and returned as found. Tftc!

Out with matagouri hunting for a single cache to continue our caching streaks.A nice straight forward find once at GZ.Thanks for putting this here

Nice quick easy find. TFTC

Nice spot

quick find after my daily run.

Thank you.

TFTC easy find. Didnt have a pen darn!

TFTC, nice dry cache

started off looking in the wrong tree because it was the biggest but later my brother found it in the smaller tree

A nice find on a beautiful morning.We parked on Chelmsford Street and walked along the walkway into the park, soon realising that it didn't lead to where we needed to go.So it was off across the wet grass feeling pleased with ourselves that we had thought to wear waterproof shoes.Once at GZ we made a nice quick find of the nicely placed cache.Thanks elwyn1948 for bringing us to this lovely park which we were pleased to have all to ourselves this morning.

Pretty good spot and you couldn't find it if you weren't looking

Nice easy spot had a good walk around the park too

Found it in the gum tree

Mean spot

Quick find. Didn't bring a pen with me. I would have struggled to find it a while ago.

With Thea and Kimmie

Found Thea, Stuart

Easy find. Nestled in a very peaceful park on the edge of time I would have otherwise had no idea existed. TFTC

Grabbed this cache while my son was warming up for a game of football down the road. Nice quick find. TFTC

I was awake with the sparrows, and in the hope that most humans were not, I devised a bipedal locomotion scheme. In the interests of not always taking the same route, I consulted a two-dimensional representation of a portion of the Earth's surface using a combination of man-made and natural features and decided upon a far east excursion all the way to finding this. Thanks hoss.

Found it! Thanks )

Ahhh now this is the park where we used to have a cache placed, way, way, way back in the day. A nice park not far from the flat where our eldest daughter was staying while at the university. Thanks for the chance to reminisce. A nice quick find on a soggy, wet day. TFTC

We were a bit worried we'd slip down the bank after all this rain, but Return2nai spotted it. Had left our pen in the car so he hot-footed it back to grab it. The open home over the road must have wondered what in earth we doing in the damp day! Tftc!

Always helps when you get the right hint item! A quick find once we did. Tftc

Wrong big guy to begin with. Once I got the right big one it was a quick find. Dropped a TB. Tftc

Found it

Nice spot but don’t have the right container hidden

Continuing my bike ride around the area, made a slight detour to reach here. No one around in the park today, and I soon made the find, TFTC

Sure I found a cache here several years ago. Thanks for this cache.

Found 21 05 22

Nice hide! Tftc

I found it after 10 minutes, good hide!

11.15am. Brisk walk in the sun and a quick find in the shade.
Thankyou, David.

Good find

The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
Out for a quick afternoon cache retrieve with the kids today.
Dad managed to find this one before the young ones.
TFTC.

No problem once I found the right entrance to the park.

Thanks for the geo!

Tfgc x

Back in Hamilton nice easy find
Nice Big Tree

Out in Ham with ABCDF4 to tidy up a few.TFTC.

Neat area.

My device had me heading in a strange direction,but settled for a good find. Tftc.

Driving by with a little time up my sleeve, I figured I'd make the find here to claim another icon for the latest challenge.. All good here, as expected! TFTC

Have been searching all around but no cache to be found. Perhaps down in the stream?

Will check this one out.

Original went missing so is now replaced and no longer at the base.

No luck for me here today. I wasn’t prepared to scramble down an unstable looking bank, for a thorough search.

Found while on a trip north with tmann421.
Enjoying discovering the areas and finding some caches.
Signed the log tm/wwNZ
TFTC

Another good cache found today with woolwood9
We enjoyed walking / driving around the area
*Thanks for putting out this container for us to find!*
SL **tm/ww NZ**

Sure are a couple of Big Ones round here.
Bit of a drop; but I didn't slip down!

Another quick find once I found the right or was that left tree. Lovely park. Log sheet a little damp but I managed to sign. Tftc

Quick park and grab on our way north for the day not to sure where we are going but we will get there sooner or later. Nice quick find here log sheet is very wet though especially as its only just been replaced.
Tftc

We enjoyed this cache

TFTC

Over for a day caching in Hamilton to collect some new caches. A very very chilly start with lots of frost around. Spotted the correct track and then the hint. Not to hard so cache was quickly found and all good thanks for the log replacement. TFTC

Replaced wet log. Plastic bag still wet inside so may have to replace.

found easy enough but was too wet to write on the log, needs some tlc, tftc

I took a short walk to get some exercise and found this cache. TWTS. TFTC.

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

Collecting a few around town and managed a nice quick find here with everything all quiet

Well now that we are all in lockdown its a chance to catch up on the logging that I have been dutifully ignoring for the past several months. Thanks to all the cache owners that placed these out there
Thanks for the cache, thanks for the placement

My wife and daughter were out of town so I jammed the boys into the car for a raid on the Waikato! We had to be a little careful around the bank. Happily the cache found quickly and in good condition thanks to the hint and a straight forward placement. Cheers elwyn1948, TFTC

Easier than I made it. Sandals are not the ideal shoes for this terrain. TFTC.

Some stunning trees in this beautiful park, very quiet today with no-one else about. TFTC

What a beauty. Thanks

Travelling back home from Auckland and knew I wouldn't make this mornings event but arranged to meet up with Squirrel Nutcase and 2 of his family members in Huntly.
Once again the plan was to circle around the Waikato. The starting point was the new yet not completed Expressway.

No problems to locate. SLTFTC

With Gap (of Fap and Gap), and nieces... The plan for today was to complete another sweep of the Waikato to clear some newish, and not so new hides. We have quite an ambitious route and a lot to do. By the time we met up with Gap, it was already mid morning...

We were drawn to the obvious ‘big one,’ but defaulted back to the iPhone gps when our choice looked less likely. There has been a lot of digging and scraping around the base of the host, but we noted telltale signs, and a cache underneath. Thanks elwyn1948 and TFTC.

Initial search went right past cache, a closed more through search revealed the hiding spot

Nicely hidden...TFTC

Find number 6781. After a late and then a lazy day I needed some exercise so I jumped on the bicycle and made my way to this one. Arrived at GZ to find my pen was not in my pocket. I backtracked to the road and there it was. Back to GZ and soon had the cache signed. Thank you for the placement.

Nice easy one thanks. Think there has one here before in the past. Tftc

Found just on dusk before heading into work. Beautiful trees in this park, TFTC

Chores done on Sunday morning so time for a cache. tftc

Was just about to turn the rugby on when I saw a new cache was published and it's only 0.08km away. Rushed out the door and was at GZ with a few minutes of it being published. Knowing the park well I went straight to where I thought the hint was taking me and not to where the GPS was pointing. After hunting for about 5 mins headed off to where the GPS was pointing and found the cache easily. Not often I get a FTF, thanks for the hide.
