Picked my son up from Daycare. Had a spare 1/2 hour to do a spot of geocaching. Gave this cache a go and was not disappointed. Made a trade. Thanks for the cache.

On a brief visit to Hamilton. Watched the moko play football then looked for a nearby cache. This was it. Followed the available info but almost missed it because it was so obvious. Thanks for the cache.[1884]

My 4year old spotted it before the rest of us!

My sister had lots of fun

Woo that was a walk nut fun

Good spot and I took a cute pin and added a guitar pick

Great little hiding spot out of the way of muggles too

Yay found with kids did some trades.

Dound with the kids did some trade

We found it took us a while directions confusing around Callum Brae area. But very fun. OUR FIRST GEO CACHE!!

Found it! Very much enjoyed learning of this area's history! Unfortunately we took the longest way to get here but it was a nice evening stroll

Nice easy find on New Years Eve Eve, thanks

Last cache of the day on the way to grab some lunch so decided to quickly detour and pick this up. The GPS seemed a little off but went straight to the obvious spot and there it was TFTC

Last cache for the day; seemed a shame not to quickly stop and grab this one when already nearby. Initially a little concerned that, with all the houses and golfers nearby, this would require a great deal of stealth, but the hide is nicely sheltered, and it didn't take long to find. TFTC

Bit of a wet day but quickly found! TFTC

Tftc

Love the location and well thought out cache. Thankyou for bringing me to this place that i didnt know existed before. I look forward to bringing my disabled client here for a visit.

Easy find

Easy find

Off the path a bit. Path is a bit overgrown. Stuck to something.

Hidden in plain sight. Coordinates a bit off, took a wander in the bush.

It was nice fun on a rainy school strike day

Super quick find here and enjoyed the walk to GZ - TFTC

Found it in clump of trees

First find

Found

Mrs rattll headed out on an early walk to beat the forecast rain today.
This was the first cache of the day , and as it was in the open, it was an easy find.
The fun began when I opened it and got covered in a swarm of ants. I'm still swatting them off.
I put something on top of it to hide it a little better when I returned it.
Thanks for setting this up.

Found it

I pin it

Easy find

nice quick find
TFTC

Also found golf balls!

Got this one after an orienteering event tonight. Tftc

Was out here doing orienteering so grabbed this on the way home. Tftc

Found with Spudge. The dogs enjoyed the run. TFTC

Last find for the day before we were off to get lunch. Found with Polargirl and the geo-dogs.

Quick and easy find, TFTF

Found it!

The end of the band tour. Have not had time for caching- but I'll be back in December with junior. This cache was the closest to where I am staying so managed to nip out and bag this one. Peculiar odours wafting around this park which is to be expected. Tftc.

It is amazing how many little nooks and crannies are around ..out in the suburbs..great to see this land being utilised for pleasure..alo g with geo caching thanks chemrox ..cache all good and dry

Even the landfill wasn't here when I lived in Hamilton so that gives my age away. My old flats in Hamilton East and River Road are still standing though (amazing huh!). Its great to get out to these "new" areas and explore off the beaten track. Thanks for bringing us here Chemrox.

Easy find

We still have absolutely no idea how it’s magnetic haha

TFTC ????????

Tftc ??????

Awesome cache. Lost my pen on the last one. Left a blue car and a red marble behind.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ️

Very cool cache. Easy to find. Didn't access from pitch and putt. We went all the way round. Saw a soccer ball and a mattress on the way. Wind , overcast, 19 degrees

Should have done a bit more homework on this one before my Golf round. Would have saved a bit of energy. Nevermind , have learned a lesson and cache all good. Tftc

Near this big long thing

Cool find although found during a shower of rain! It’s been very hot recently and during the little time that I have put aside today for geocaching whilst on a trip to Hamilton it has decided to rain! Great spot, TFTC

Nice find whole taking the geomutt for a walk here this morning. TTFC!

Found it! Awesome hide but no pen in the car for the log

On a work trip in Hamilton
Got some spare time.

Decided to pick few caches while in town
TFTC

Thanks. Found while waiting for our Level 3.2 take away picnic dinner.

Tftc

Great magnet use

A bit tricky with no hint but was a good experience

I biked past here and made a quick stop while getting my daily exercise. I surprised to find a large piece of swag stuffed into the small container which I left for the next finder.

The magnet is cool indeed

Good find with the kids. TFTC.

Found!

Found

Wasn't as easy as I thought, went through the wrong entrance. But really cool

Went out with the mates to find it and had lots of fun, thanks.

Great idea with the magnet! The kids loved the find thanks

No dramas here.

Quick spotting. Cool wee cache.

Nice easy find

An interesting diversion down along here this afternoon while in the area, thanks for the fun hide, cheers

We saw it almost instantly. Loved the magnet as we haven't seen many of those around. We also thought the notebook inside was very cute!

To hard put a hind

Better luck next time.

The Freezer Mice strike again!!!
Afternoon caching trip with the kids soon had this in hand.
TFTC.

Easy find Glad no kids playing in the park . TFTC

Snuck in and got this with only a small detour between two clients. Funnily enough it's 4am and noone around... TFTC!

Good to find this one on my brief Caching Trip to Hamilton!
Never been here before....plus I never knew about the vents!
Thank you!

Glad to turn a blue sad face in to a yellow smiley, thanks for getting this going again

Replaced the cache. Put lower down to make less visible

temporarily disabled while I consider a better container

Found! First TB as well! Container is no longer closing due to rust, so replaced as best as possible

ground was a bit slippery first thing this morning but soon found the cache, tftc

I took a short walk to get some exercise and found this cache. Nice cache placement. Left: HM's Bronze Tag #2 TB. TFTC.

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

Nice easy find. Everything still in tack though lid wasn't on properly but log still dry. TFTC

In the area getting a ftf. Nice one tftc

My wife and daughter were out of town so I jammed the boys into the car for a raid on the Waikato! This cache was found quickly and in good condition thanks to accurate coords, the hint and a straight forward placement. It was a little obvious - but in a good way. Cheers Chemrox, TFTC

An interesting cache. TFTC & FP.

A cunning plan was hatched with Hairy (KGD) to leave Hamilton at 6.30am and get the caches in the Waihi area. After getting the Waihi area ones it was home via Huntly. and then the northern area of Hamilton Soon in hand tftc

Very nicely done. T4tc

Parked as close as we could and found it with Pagenz after a wander along. TFTC

Long walk

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.

A quick search in the undergrowth to find this one. SLTFTC

Find number 6798. Decided to call and collect this one on my way back from the CITO in Huntly. Arrived with ABCDF4 and eyespyben. Cache was soon in hand signed and returned. Thank you for the placement.

After the CTIO had a coffee then off to Hamilton to pick up some new caches.
With EyespyBen and KayDeeGee
Nice easy find.Had the right tool

I think ABCDF4 & KeeGeeDee have said it all, thanks to the cache owner
for the placement.

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...

There have been caches in this park before, but this is the first time that the recent history of the location has been highlighted. We stepped into the vegetation and noticed a couple of cache worthy items before spotting the actual hide. No trouble with access - There are tools at the ready if one observes... Thanks Chemrox and TFTC.

Cool cache! TFTC
