A lovely early morning walk to the cache, quite the subdivision being built nearby. Seems buildings are popping up everywhere in Hamilton. A nice quick find here and then another enjoyable stroll back to the van. TFTC

Great find today after a afternoon noon walk, didn't have a pen on me but proof from the photo, little tricky find but managed to avoid a large ant nest and a few cockroaches.
Came down to visit Hamilton zoo, would be a shame not to collect a change whilst here. Missed the first one, but easy find here
Coordinates are a few metres off, but given the name no need to be more precise as we could see from crossroads. TFTC
Over in Hamilton this morning getting something fixed on the car- great chance to pick up a couple of caches. Nice hide here, TFTC
A nice quick find thanks. Found the replacment!
Time for another trip to the North Island for Ms_KR and me. Wellington and beyond here we come. Today we toured Hamilton a wee bit. It is a hot summer so far!
Thanks to all CO's for publishing and maintaining their caches. Cheers.

Caching down this way with Westie Girls today...very hot.
Did some Ad Labs and a few trads and solved puzzles.
Had trouble finding anything here...one of a group put in a temporary replacement until the CO can check...

Out for a ladies day caching with Merlot58, Supernannny and Nette1234. We had trouble locating this one, even after a thorough search with 4 sets of eyes and a search in the long grass at gz. We replaced the cache with a small container we had with us - hope the CO doesn't mind. TFTC
We found the obvious place but came up empty, checked out a few other posts but co-ords said we started at the right one. We checked around the long grass to see if the cache had fallen down and eventually replaced with a container one of the ladies had with her, hopefully the CO doesn't mind
Time to stretch my legs. A walk in the nice reserve. Cache found quickly. Good cache location! Thanks for hiding.
The Freezer Mice strike again!
Out to grab a couple of local caches with the kids today.
Pretty quick find.

Always been a plan to look down here so here I am today. Thought I would make a walk of it so park up by the zoo. Enjoyed my wander down looking at the different stages of growth. Did the loop before finding this one. Missed it because I'm short. Lol!!! Then the doh moment. Tftc
Found after a lovely little loop. Return2nai did some planting here a few years ago.TFTC!
Out on a family walk and thought I should really make the effort to find these caches while I'm here. A quick find here. Thanks for the hide.
My first geocache and typical i didn't have a pen. Logbook is a bit damp. Replaced cache upside down to avoid further water damage
My cachinhg buddy was scared I might get attacked by creepy crawlies but to his surprise I came out unscathed!!! TFTC
We didn't think we would walk far enough to get to this cache, but we ended up doing it! The log was a little damp but still able to write in it! Tftc
TFTC, found with madtotora. First time exploring beautiful Waiwhakareke, will be back!
First find for 2021. It's a great spot, with several pleasant walks - worth checking out.
I had been on a weekend roadtrip up to the big smoke to attend a mate's 50th party this evening, but now was the big drive back home.
But it's also a great opportunity to try to grab some caches on my way.
I had earmarked the nearby Jasmer Challenge cache as one I wanted to get on this trip, so naturally I was going to try for any others on the way to it, including this one. It only took me a moment or two to find this cache. When opened, the log was in good condition so I quickly took care of the usual field etiquette before replacing the whole thing exactly as found and getting back to the car to crack on with the day.
Thanks for placing this cache.

I was out and about visiting some of the awesome trails and restoration projects around Hamilton. This is a lovely little walk and the work done here is very well done.
Spotted the obvious place and tentatively picked my way through the long wet grass - should have worn better shoes!
Thanks for setting it up HKCB

I am in Hamilton finding caches with nufrat. We started here first since it is a bit of a walk and we had lots of energy first thing in the morning. TFTC.
Another trip to Hamilton to clear up some more new caches A good way to spend a day off Thanks to all the COs . A lot of work has been happening in this area. Arrived near GZ and was told that they were filming there. A quick scan around the area I realised where I wanted to go was off to the side. No problems getting the cache as they were all busy further up the track. I made out I was getting scenic photos . TFTC
With Gap (of Fap and Gap), a niece, a nephew, and a dog... We are on the way to a job, but caching as we go.
It’s been several years since we last visited the Waiwhakareke Park. We remember the big warning signs encouraging people to stay out - Those have gone. We wandered down the metalled track and discovered a whole lot of neat changes. If this area isn’t fully developed, then it’s going to be amazing when the work is complete...
A jogger galloped past as we were signing the logbook. There was no chance of hiding in such an open area as this. Fortunately, our runner was more interested in timing himself and didn’t seem to notice us until he was almost on top of us... Thanks HKCB and TFTC.

Another day in the Waikato. Caches just keep popping up here. Weather good today and no problems to find caches. SLTFTC
A day off and a nice walk through here with my muggle accomplice. Took a bit of time to figure out where the co ordinates were trying to lead us but got there in the end and made the quick find. Thanks for the cache
Reasonably quick find once I examined more closely. Thanks for the walk. Managed to beat the rain.
Find number 6915. I was sitting comfortably in my lazyboy when these caches popped up. A quick dash across town to the parking spot. No known cars there so in with a chance for the FTF. After meeting iammrwalker at the other new cache we walked together to this one. It was good to have a catch up chat. At GZ we searched all the wrong places before making the find. Another blank log and another joint {FTF}. On our way back to the car we noticed kiwiteachernz signing the log at the first so we went down for a chat. Thank you for the placement.
It has been more than 12 months since I had been in the park and I was amazed at the work that had been done in the area. Well worth a visit. Thank you for bring me back here.

Wandered further down the path and grabbed this one too. Thanks for new caches.
Having shared a FTF at the previous cache along this walk we decided to team up and see if we could grab another. Its a nice walk to GZ and after a short search we came up trumps and scored our second shared {FTF} for the day. We had a good catch up on the way back to our cars and came across another experienced local geocacher kiwiteachernz and her husband along the trail. It was great to catch up with everyone post lockdown and hear how everyone was doing. Thanks HKCB for providing a fun adventure after a long school term.
