Seemed to be a fallen tree right at ground zero …. Maybe the cache under that
The ladies from rattll and watcache decided a girly weekend in the Hawkes Bay was in order, so left the boys a list of chores, packed their bags and headed off for a weekend of frivolity and mischief.
We were surprised to find the Hawkes Bay was remarkably quiet, especially considering it was the last few days of the school holidays. However, the exception was the night club that was next door to our room at the backpackers, that provided us with a free live band that played predominantly loud reggae music until the wee hours of the morning. Too old to 'bop' the night away? Apparently not! Mrs watcache however can sleep through anything!!!
We diverted from the path slightly and could see the general area we needed to look.
A cursory look around didn't produce what we were after, but a more thorough check in the most likely area quickly revealed the cache container.
Thanks for adding another hide to this trail

I have to admit when planning to trip Napier with Rattll I had doubts in my mind that we would gets lots of DNF but to my surprise we only had 3 over the two days out of approximately 60 odd caches found.
This one was no problem to find thank you for placing a cache here for us to discover another area we never knew existed.

This one was quite hard, had to search the area from top to bottom. It was well hidden. TFTC ️️
I'd love to come back and have my bike to explore, grab the rest of these caches and just have a good time. TFTC.
Stayed a night in Hasting, an early morning start for a ride along this cycle/walk track . Easy find. Thanks Cee Vee for the cache.
This is a welcomed nice shady spot...after a short search the container was found and the log signed..enjoying cycling along this trailthanks CeeVee
This time it was down again. Looked at gz and wondered if cache was still there. Yes it was, with a nice coating of dry mud to blend in well. Thanks for bringing us here Cee Vee
One of 12 caches located today on day 4 of our motorhome summer holiday to Hawkes Bay. Picked up 11 on a bike ride along this trail today. Took us a little while to find this one. We scrolled back through earlier logs and saw that the one posted on 3/10/20 effectively provided a clue. In the end Mrs tbird spotted it close to where we’d first started looking! #3650. TFTC.
I decided to get the bike out and do one of the trails in the Hawkes Bay today. The Fernhill Iway won the draw. So after swapping towballs on the cachemobile and then removing the bike from the snail shell and putting it on the back of the ute I was away. Parked in the suggested place and got ready.
I had to leave this on the way up due to loitering muggles but got it on the way back. When I arrived there were some muggles (I thought) leaving but I wasn't too sure. But when I read the logbook I noticed that there was an entry for today there. So I got on my bike and caught them at their next cache and had a good chat. It was nice to meet you, Clark Whanau.
Cheers for the cache.

Heading home to Gisborne having finished a week of work in Whanganui. Had time to stop and collect some of the newer Hawke’s Bay caches. Enjoyed this walkway. The clues were helpful and generally didn’t take too long to find the cache. This one took a bit longer but it was all fine once spotted. Thanks
I'm enjoying the slower pace of looking for these caches on a bike trail I've travelled many times. TFTC
nice to chat with cacher Sue at the location took a while to find but got there
Aroha and thanks for the cache
