Climbed up and tossed the log to Mrs FriwiNZ who stayed on the path for this one. TFTC

TFTC. Fun one for the kids to find

Fun find

Upwards!!

Great find!

First cache for the day before walking around the park. Tftc

In the area today as we thought these caches looked a little lonely, and we had a carer for junior cacher .....it was time we got into some sunshine as we had been renovating a bedroom, taking up any spare hours....Left home at 8am (the wrong time as schools had just gone back after the anniversary weekend, and we hit traffic extending the trip to the park by half an hour.Arriving at GZ a quick chat with the local farmer for hints on the best route to take, and into cache finding.... then headed out on the adventure.The cache is in good health, luckily for water proof paper....TFTC.

Given I was down to 2% on the device, I had pretty much turned it off and started to walk back to my car. But I stopped here for a rest, and to enjoy the view, and thought Id turn it on and see if there was one nearby, and sure enough, this one was only 50 m away, and I soon had it in hand, thanks again.

Quick find..cache all good. Thanks

After missing a yellow lid previously, nice to find one

I’m doing a bit of a free range wander of the park today and locating caches that are close to my location on the way. No mushrooms today, TFTCs!!

Are we there yet picked up another distraction t 4 t c

Eyes above.

Mind your footing

easy find! tftc

Found it sitting high and dry out of the water.

Bit soggy, floating in puddle. Tried to keep it dry as best we could.

Easy find.
Considering the cach is sitting in a pool of water the whole thing is very dry.

Awesome little find. Very cool trees!!

Out enjoying a mid-winter walk in Te Rau Puriri Regional Park. We arrived late morning and spent most of the rest of the day wandering around the tracks and finding plenty of caches. It was a bit wet underfoot but the weather was mild and we enjoyed the views as we walked an anti-clockwise circuit.
Followed the sheep track up the bank and spied the hide location once there. TFTC

Easy on

Easy

Nice shady spot & quick find. TFTC

Out with team Gold today (0B80B8 and LisCrew) collecting a few caches in the area. Up the bank a couple of times to check out the hint items. Eventually located. TFTC

Today I was on a mission as part of Team G0LD to Te Rau Puriri Regional Park on South Kaipara Head, to hopefully clear all the caches there and as many more as possible on the peninsula.

The Garmin watch showed a distance of 7.50 kms to complete the park in just under 3 hours with 250 metres elevation gain, so a nice exercise jaunt for the day, even if if was a tad warm and humid ahead of the approaching storm.

Number twenty-five on our walk today and a quick find in the hint location, with just a little scramble up the bank. TFTC

Team G0LD (Geocachers: 0B80B8, Lis's crew and DaffyNZ) were on a mission today. The primary target was the cache rich Te Rau Puriri Regional Park at South Head. We were aiming to get our final mountain souvenir all done and dusted as well as filling an entire area on our maps with yellow smiles.

We tried asking the trees which one had the cache but these 3 oldies must all need hearing aides as we didn't hear an reply. Luckily we didn't need a white cane as well. All good here.

Overall it was a very hot day with temps 28-30°C. We only copped a few brief spats of rain and I found 49 caches. My souvenir well and truly achieved. Certainly a pretty lot of smiles too. Thanks for this hide

Quick find. Tyftc

Nice find. Tftc

Our primary reason for the trip here today was to attempt all the caches in the park. Mrs NZT stayed home to look after Geo Dog (poor little bugga had had a rough night) and Keylev and myself set off to find all these.

Which tree is it..... OH yeap THAT one.

TFTC

NZ Travellers and I had a plan to cache and walk today. Unfortunately their geo-dog was unwell so Mrs NZT had to stay home to care for him so it ended up being just Mr NZT and myself. Had a great day out, ended on a nice round number of 40 (50 would have been better but I had to collect our minis from their camp).

We got pretty close to the trees today but not sure we talked to them that much. We did thank the one that held the cache though

Thanks for the cache.

I am out and about this afternoon, taking advantage of the excellent weather, to take a hike around Te Rau Puriri Regional Park. After finding "TT" I re-joined the track and headed towards this GZ. As I neared GZ I figured it prudent to gain some elevation so followed the sheep trail along the top of the bank. Once I was near GZ the cache was easily spotted floating in a pool of water. On return I staked it up to keep it out of the worst of the wet as a temporary solution. Cheers for the cache placement!

Nearly passed it on accident but it was a nice little find

Another cache found in Te Rau Puriri Regional Park today! I visited here with tramyard, and we walked the loop clockwise finding all of the caches in the park along the way (and a few on the way there and back).

Went for a scramble up the bank and checked a couple of trees before I found the cache. It looks like maybe we just missed the previous finders who were also here today. TFT(TTTT)C!!

Pretty wet spot but the double cache container meant it was all good. TFTC

To Tell The Truth I was a bit bushed by the time we got up to the caches in this wee series and kept wishing they were close to the track... any scrambling about I nominated Mr P - he needs the exercise. T4tc

Good walk with friend!!

As we approached the GZ we noticed the trees and made our way safely up the bank to find this cute cache nicely hidden away.

We had a lot of fun exploring this regional park on a stunning Winters day. Thanks to all the CO’s for placing and maintaining these caches.
Another smilie for us with a smilie container

I had the day off work today, so I decided to get out for a walk in Te Rau Puriri Regional Park... an area that I've never visited before! I was greeted with nice views as soon as I parked the car and, being a weekday, I had the park to myself for the afternoon. It was a lovely walk down to the harbour and back, I found all of the current caches here without any difficulty and really enjoyed my visit! Thanks for setting up all these caches!

Oh I am such a rock star finding this one without the hints, because the rest of the family were so far ahead of me on the trail that I couldn't use daddypig123's wifi stuff!
Signed as HP family but I'm not telling them I found it!

No problems here, quickly signed, and onto the next, cheers

Not Too Tired To Talk but starting to feel some aches and pains now. Tftc

All those Ts, making me thirsty for a cuppa tea.

Time to hit the trail and looking forward to the caches from the placers here; Tramouflage galore and Pax of bisons roaming the plains.
Another weekend day and I have a plan to go and find some caches out at Te Rau Puriri Regional Park up the top of South Head (North of South Head then!). I originally put down a couple of new ones in this empty (of caches, at the time) park and Tramyard and Pax duly obliged to fill in some of the walking tracks with caches, which also had good views and interesting things to see. I was fairly early off from home and arrived at the trail start at 0900, arrived back at 1145-ish so under 3 hours for the loop, including finds. I'm pretty sure there's room for some more up there as the Red route has scope, as does the pale blue one. The weather was a little blustery and a bit cooler than recent but still a good day 5o be out there doing it.

I was out on a ladies caching day with Supernanny and Nette1234 on a lovely autumn day. The other too had found this one so watched while I went up the bank and made the find.

Out and about enjoying Puriri with the mexikiwi and evilno9. Glad we did so, as the next day we went into level 3 lockdown. We enjoyed the round collecting all geocaches on the way, with a short lunch break on the beach. No issues with any find. TFTC

Even though I looked at the map yesterday, I had the wrong topology for this cache thinking it was uphill from where I came from. TFTC.

As we approached GZ we noticed a large flock of freshly shorn sheep were utilising the trees to escape the hot sun, and we didn't blame them as we were very hot ourselves. We hoped that finding the cache wouldn't disturb them too much and although a few did decided to flee there were fortunately none right at GZ so the disruption to their peace was minimised.
Perfect hiding spot.
TFTC.

Was passing right by this one so was nice to make another stop and another smiley to add to the list for today. TFTC

Great view across the valley from here... And a nice place in the shade of the trees for some rest!

While I was at Helensville with nette today I checked out which of capperz caches we would go to first ...
Had a big surprise to see there were 2 new unfound tramyard caches in this park!
So naturally we came to these ones first...
It was a bit of a walk (for me especially ) as I tried a "short cut"...to avoid climbing a hill....resulting in Jan getting here half an hour before me !
I nearly got lost but of course my phone navigation system rescued me!
And I enjoyed a scenic route!
Phew!
